Abstract

Education in Indonesia evolve along with the development of society, technology, and knowledge. However, learning practices are still largely dominated by conventional lecture-based models. This study analyze the strengthening of students’ critical thinking skills through the implementation of the Socratic seminar learning model. The research employed a case study with a qualitative approach. The subjects were Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) teachers and eleventh-grade students. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation using instruments such as interview guidelines, observation sheets, and document checklists. Data analysis included condensation, display, and verification. The results show that the implementation of the Socratic seminar effectively strengthened students’ critical thinking skills through several aspects: (a) developing indicators and problems suited to students’ abilities, (b) encouraging students to answer teachers’ questions by expanding their responses based on the material studied, (c) utilizing printed and electronic media as learning resources, and (d) enabling students to explore material independently according to their own understanding. The conclusion emphasizes that the Socratic seminar model not only trains students to enhance critical thinking skills but also encourages teachers to act as innovators, role models, and evaluators in strengthening students’ critical thinking in PPKn learning. This research provides guidance for teachers, particularly PPKn teachers, in selecting learning models that align with student characteristics, thereby creating more effective, contextual, and critical thinking-oriented learning.

Abstract

Balinese Language learning in formal schools still faces serious challenges, particularly in terms of low student engagement and the suboptimal use of local literature as a teaching medium. One proposed solution is the development of an educational-spiritual learning model based on Geguritan Sucita Subudi, which is rich in moral and spiritual values. This study aims to analyze the educational-spiritual learning model based on Geguritan Sucita Subudi. The research adopts a qualitative approach using the Research and Development (R&D) method by Borg & Gall, which includes stages such as field study, model design, expert validation, limited implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique employed qualitative analysis with data triangulation. The findings show that this model enhances students’ understanding of the content of geguritan, fosters affective and spiritual engagement, and strengthens character education rooted in local culture. The implementation of this model also demonstrates a positive impact on preserving the values of Balinese literature within the context of formal education. The implications of this study make a significant contribution to strategies for strengthening a curriculum based on local wisdom and support the implementation of the Freedom to Learn (Merdeka Belajar) policy and the Pancasila Student Profile in a contextual and meaningful way.

Abstract

The low logical thinking skills and learning interest in mathematics have become a major issue in the students’ learning process. This study aims to analyze the effect of open-ended approaches and supportive learning environments on students’ logical thinking skills and learning interest in mathematics. This research employs an experimental design with a quasi-experimental approach. The subjects consisted of students divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected using logical thinking tests, learning interest questionnaires, and learning environment observations as research instruments. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression, t-tests, and N-Gain analysis. The results indicate that simultaneously, open-ended approaches and supportive learning environments have a significant effect on logical thinking skills (R² = 66.6%; p = 0.000) and learning interest in mathematics (R² = 37.5%; p = 0.009). Individually, the open-ended approach positively affects logical thinking skills (B = 0.789) but negatively influences learning interest (B = -0.482), while the learning environment positively contributes to both. The t-test revealed a significant improvement in logical thinking skills in the experimental group compared to the control group (p = 0.001), and N-Gain analysis reinforced these findings by showing higher and more consistent learning outcomes in the experimental class. The study concludes that a combination of open-ended approaches and supportive learning environments is effective in enhancing students’ cognitive and affective aspects. The study’s implications emphasize the importance of teachers considering student readiness and creating a supportive learning environment to optimize and enrich mathematics learning experiences.

Abstract

Corruption remains a serious threat to democracy and governance. High voter turnout does not automatically reflect substantive democracy, as many citizens still have limited political understanding, resulting in suboptimal awareness of their rights, obligations, and oversight role. This study aims to analyze the role of political education as a strategic instrument in preventing corruption by instilling the values of integrity, transparency, and accountability, while strengthening public participation in policy oversight. This research employed a sociological-normative legal approach that combined statutory and doctrinal analysis (das sollen) with empirical observation of legal practices and public responses (das sein). The subjects of this study included statutory documents, legal literature, policy reports, law enforcement perspectives, and community experiences related to anti-corruption efforts. Data were collected through literature review, interviews with selected respondents, field observations, and documentation, then analyzed qualitatively using descriptive and thematic approaches. The findings reveal that political education contributes to increasing legal awareness, fostering anti-corruption values, creating critical voters, and encouraging public oversight of governance. However, its current implementation remains minimal and fragmented, often limited to supplementary material in schools and incidental public campaigns. This study concludes that political education needs to be developed systematically to build an anti-corruption culture and strengthen democracy, involving collaboration between the government, political parties, and educational institutions in curricula and public programs.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low creativity of elementary school students, where teachers experience difficulties in developing contextual and applicative learning media. This study aims to analyze the application of ecoprint integrated with Project-Based Learning (PBL) as a strategy to increase creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and ecological awareness of students. The research subjects consisted of 25 students in grade V and 2 accompanying teachers who were actively involved in the activity. Using descriptive qualitative methods in a naturalistic setting, data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of student work. Data analysis is carried out inducively through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn, and strengthened by triangulation of techniques, sources, and time to ensure validity. The results of the study show that ecoprints are effective in fostering originality, flexibility, and elaboration in creative expression, while strengthening students' critical thinking and reflective learning skills. The project encourages intrinsic motivation, collaboration, and ecological awareness through direct engagement with natural materials, with teachers playing the role of facilitators of meaningful learning. Despite the constraints on time allocation and material availability, ecoprint has proven to be an innovative and sustainable learning medium for primary education.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the problem of low integration of the potential for local culture-based education in Ijen Geopark in history learning at the secondary school level, which is still predominantly text-based and has minimal use of interactive technology. The purpose of this research is to develop history learning modules based on digital tourism, AI, and AR to improve students' understanding of local history while fostering cultural conservation attitudes. The research subjects included 190 students and 8 history teachers who were selected through stratified random sampling. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with preliminary study stages, product design, expert validation, limited trials, and effectiveness tests. Data collection techniques are carried out through tests, questionnaires, observations, and interviews, while data analysis techniques include content validity tests, paired t-tests, chi-squares, ANOVAs, and Pearson correlation analysis. The results showed a significant increase in local history knowledge (the average pre-test score of 48.2 increased to 75.6 in the post-test, p < 0.001), a more positive attitude of cultural conservation, expert validation with a very feasible category (content 90.1% and media 88.4%), and teacher perception that strongly supports the implementation of modules in history learning based on local contexts.

Abstract

Learning motivation plays a crucial role in elementary education, supporting both the achievement of learning objectives and the enhancement of students’ abilities. However, in practice, many students still exhibit low motivation despite the use of interactive digital media in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the use of interactive digital media in Civic Education and the learning motivation of elementary school students. A quantitative correlational design was employed with 80 fourth-grade students selected purposively. Data were collected using a validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaire, then analyzed with descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation test. The findings revealed that although both the intensity of digital media use and students’ learning motivation were categorized as high, no significant relationship was found between them (r = 0.100; p = 0.378). These results suggest that interactive digital media alone does not directly enhance learning motivation without the integration of participatory and contextual teaching strategies. This study highlights the importance of combining digital media with pedagogical approaches that actively involve students to optimize motivation in Civic Education learning. The implication is that interactive digital media should not be viewed as an independent solution, but rather as a complementary tool that requires alignment with participatory strategies. Such integration is essential to maximize its effectiveness in fostering learning motivation among elementary school students.
