Abstract

This qualitative study explores the understanding and challenges of instilling global diversity character through the integration of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) in highly heterogeneous elementary schools. A qualitative approach was employed, with a focus on grade IV students from several private schools in Bali, Indonesia, known for their diverse student demographics. The findings indicate that while students possess a commendable foundation of local tolerance, their internalization of a broader global diversity is largely superficial. This gap is attributed to the lack of pedagogical strategies that explicitly link local understanding to a global context, compounded by the significant internal diversity of students in terms of readiness, interests, and learning profiles. The research reveals that although teachers have attempted to implement CRT, they face challenges primarily due to limited time and resources in comprehensively differentiating content, process, and product to meet these varied needs. This study argues that a synergistic integration of CRT and differentiated learning is crucial to bridge this gap, fostering tolerance and also a genuine and profound understanding, or deep learning, of global diversity that prepares students to be empathetic and adaptable global citizens.

Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates the moderating role of student curiosity in enhancing Pancasila learning outcomes through a Reward Management-Based Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) Cooperative Learning Model in second grade. The research addresses the persistent challenge of low learning outcomes in the subject due to conventional teaching methods that limit student engagement. Aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum's emphasis on deep learning and holistic development , the study employed a qualitative methodology with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Findings reveal that the STAD model's structured implementation effectively transformed the learning environment, with both teachers and students reporting overwhelmingly positive experiences. Crucially, the reward management system was found to be a significant moderator that leveraged the students’ psychological need for recognition to foster a dynamic learning process. The study concludes that this synergy between the model, rewards, and curiosity is essential for achieving deeper, more meaningful learning in line with curriculum goals.

Abstract

This study investigated the moderating role of self-efficacy in the effect of the Guided Inquiry learning model, supported by GI Worksheets, on the critical thinking skills of Grade 6 students. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was employed, involving 30 students. The findings revealed that while the Guided Inquiry model significantly improved critical thinking (β = 3.10, p < 0.05), this effect was moderated by self-efficacy (β = 0.42, p < 0.05). Students with high self-efficacy demonstrated substantially greater gains in critical thinking than their low self-efficacy peers. This suggests that the effectiveness of inquiry-based learning is contingent upon students' self-belief and psychological readiness. The study underscores the importance of fostering self-efficacy alongside the implementation of effective instructional models to optimize cognitive development in elementary science education.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of the 5E Inquiry learning model integrated with the Science, Environment, Technology, and Society (SETS) approach on junior high school students’ science learning outcomes and learning motivation. A quantitative design with a pretest–posttest non-equivalent control group. The population consisted of all eighth-grade students, and the samples were selected through cluster random sampling. Learning outcomes data were collected using an objective test, while learning motivation data were obtained through a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using one-way MANCOVA after meeting the required assumptions. The results revealed a significant simultaneous difference in science learning outcomes and learning motivation between students taught using the 5E Inquiry model with the SETS approach and those taught through conventional instruction. Partially, the 5E Inquiry model with the SETS approach had a significant positive effect on both science learning outcomes and students’ learning motivation. In conclusion, the 5E Inquiry learning model integrated with the SETS approach is effective in improving the quality of science learning at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Course Review Horay (CRH) Model assisted by Flashcards on developing students' Scientific Literacy (SL) and Scientific Attitude (SA) in Grade IV at elementary school Cluster III, Negara, Bali. Focusing on the Force Chapter, aligned with the demands of Merdeka Curriculum's Deep Learning. Employing a Nonequivalent Pre-test Post-test Control Group Design and a Mixed Methods approach, the research involved 90 students. Quantitative results demonstrated a significant effect on both variables, with increases categorized as moderate to high (T-test). Qualitative analysis indicated that the synergy between the CRH syntax and Flashcards effectively overcomes the conceptual difficulties of the abstract Force material. Flashcards functioned as Visual Concretization of Force Causality, accelerating SL comprehension on PISA indicators. Meanwhile, the competitive Horay! aspect effectively cultivated SA, characterized by Accelerated Decision Making and Internalization of Evidence Through Consensus within the group. The conclusion shows that this model is effective and coherent in bridging students' cognitive and affective dimensions, providing a strong pedagogical contribution to primary level natural and social science learning.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation and challenges of the Etnoscience-Based Problem Based Learning (PBL) model using the Subak Bali Context in shaping science understanding (Force Material) in fourth-grade students at elementary school. Subak is analyzed as an etnoscience-rich irrigation system, providing an authentic context for Deep Learning according to the Merdeka Curriculum. This qualitative study uses a case study design. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis, including motivation questionnaire response patterns based on Uno's indicators and C4-C5 tests. Strict credibility procedures especially Source Triangulation and Member Checking were used for validation. The results show Etnoscience PBL is effective as a Deep Learning catalyst, evidenced by the C4-C5 narrative quality integrating the concept of Force. The implementation also fosters intrinsic motivation by fulfilling the students' Sense of Belonging. The main challenges found were cognitive focus management and cultural value sensitivity (Member Checking). Mitigation solutions include the Subak Miniature Model (low-cost) and C5 project revision for sustained motivation and HOTS.

Abstract

Critical Thinking and Science Learning Interest among third-grade elementary students are still low due to conventional learning methods that lack active engagement. This research aims to develop and test the feasibility of the Picture Story Book Media with a STEAM approach to enhance both of these dependent variables, focusing on the topic of Unique Relationships in Living Things (Symbiosis). Using the ADDIE Research and Development (R&D) model, the product was tested and achieved Very Valid and Very Practical criteria, confirming its implementation feasibility. The effectiveness results were significant. The increase in Learning Interest was categorized as Very High, particularly in the Active Involvement indicator (Slameto), as the narrative successfully triggered enjoyable hands-on action. Critical Thinking improvement was also categorized as High, specifically in the Interpretation and Analysis dimensions (Facione). This was driven by the Engineering challenge to design symbiosis models, which compelled students to use critical logic. This media successfully integrates Story and Art with Hands-On Activities to transform abstract Symbiosis concepts into solution-based investigations. This product effectively strengthens both students' Critical Thinking and Learning Interest.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the application of a constructivist approach in mathematics learning at SMA Negeri 1 Lalolae. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data triangulation through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student questionnaires. The findings indicate that constructivist elements have been partially implemented, as reflected in classroom discussions, opportunities for students to express arguments, and activities that encourage independent problem solving. Students showed positive responses in terms of increased motivation and learning engagement, although some students remained passive and experienced difficulties in constructing concepts independently. In conclusion, the implementation of a constructivist approach in mathematics learning at SMA Negeri 1 Lalolae has not yet been optimal and requires support in the form of improved learning facilities and teacher training to enhance its effectiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

Despite the increasing application of artificial intelligence technology in education, research on the effectiveness of AI-assisted instruction systems for primary school students with mathematics learning disabilities remains limited. This study investigated the effects of a customized AI-assisted instruction system on improving academic performance and learning motivation among primary school students with mathematics learning disabilities. Using a quasi-experimental design, 42 third-to-fifth grade students diagnosed with mathematics learning disabilities from three primary schools in Jiangsu Province participated in a 12-week intervention study. The experimental group (n=21) received AI-assisted instruction intervention, while the control group (n=21) received traditional remedial instruction. The study collected data using standardized mathematics tests, learning motivation scales, and classroom observation records. Results showed that students in the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in both mathematics achievement (Cohen's d=0.89) and learning motivation (Cohen's d=0.76). This article discusses strategies for effectively implementing AI-assisted instruction systems in special education settings.
