Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sexual education content at the primary education level as a preventive effort against sexual violence toward children of Indonesian migrant workers (IMWs). The study is motivated by the high risk of sexual violence faced by IMW children due to limited parental supervision, unstable family environments, and restricted access to early sexual education, which results in low understanding of body autonomy, safe and unsafe touch, and self-protection strategies. This research employed a quantitative method using a pretest–posttest design supported by qualitative data from interviews. The research subjects consisted of 25 primary school students who are children of Indonesian migrant workers, with interactive sexual education content as the research object. Data were collected through questionnaires, tests, observations, and interviews, and analyzed using validity and reliability tests, descriptive statistics, and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results indicate that the instruments were valid and reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.914) and that there was a significant increase in children’s knowledge after the implementation of sexual education content. Therefore, sexual education content is proven to be an effective preventive strategy in nonformal education settings.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Let's Read digital storybook application on the Indonesian language dialogue skills of students at the Kepong Guidance Center (SB), Malaysia. Dialogue skills are an important part of oral language skills because they are related to the ability to convey ideas, respond to interlocutors, and interact actively. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the one-group pretest–posttest design. The research subjects were 25 students with a total sampling technique. Data collection used a structured observation instrument containing 15 aspects of statements with 5 indicators of dialogue skills. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive statistics and inferential tests using SPSS including validity, reliability, normality, and paired sample t-test. The results showed that the instrument was valid and highly reliable. Pretest and posttest data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The average score of dialogue skills increased from 36.2 to 48.9. The paired sample t-test showed a significance of 0.000 (<0.05), so the Let's Read application is effective in improving students' dialogue skills and can be an alternative innovative learning media in non-formal education.

Abstract

Reading literacy is a fundamental skill that plays a crucial role in supporting the learning success of elementary school students, particularly in the digital era. Although technological advances facilitate access to information, this does not always translate into increased interest and reading habits. This study examines the internal and external factors contributing to low reading literacy skills in students at Reban Public Elementary School and the relationship between digital media use and reading literacy skills. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to low reading literacy skills in fifth-grade students at Reban Public Elementary School in the digital era. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. The subjects consisted of 10 fifth-grade students, one homeroom teacher, and parents. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model with source triangulation. The results indicate that students' reading skills are technically quite good, but their interest and reading habits are still low, and some students are not fluent in reading and understanding the content. Low reading literacy is influenced by internal factors (physiological conditions, motivation and interest in reading, habits, concentration) and external factors (family, teachers, and community) and reading literacy in the digital era.

Abstract

Students’ learning outcomes in macrame art remain relatively low, mainly due to the limited use of innovative learning media and the dominance of conventional teaching methods in the classroom. This study aims to develop scrapbook learning media and to examine its feasibility and effectiveness in improving students’ learning outcomes in macrame art for grade V at SDN Jatibarang 03. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the Borg and Gall model, including stages of needs analysis, product design, validation, revision, and field testing. The developed scrapbook media presents step-by-step macrame techniques in a visual, systematic, and interactive format suited to elementary students’ characteristics. Validation results showed feasibility scores of 97.5% from media experts and 95% from material experts, both categorized as very feasible. Effectiveness testing revealed a significance value of 0.000 in the paired sample t-test, with a high N-Gain score, indicating a significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes. These findings demonstrate that scrapbook learning media is highly feasible and effective in enhancing students’ understanding and practical skills in macrame art learning.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the suboptimal implementation of the “Keragaman Budaya Indonesiaku” (My Indonesian Cultural Diversity) learning material at SD Negeri Bringin 02 due to limited technological facilities and a lack of variation in instructional media. The learning process was still dominated by the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model, utilizing simple media such as pictures, with technology use limited to PowerPoint, Kahoot, and Quizizz. This study aimed to develop and examine the feasibility and effectiveness of an Augmented Reality (AR)-based Edu-Spinner learning media for fifth-grade students. The study applied a Research and Development (R&D) methodology utilizing the ADDIE model combined with a mixed-methods approach through a one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants involved were 28 students. The validation findings showed that the developed media was rated as “very good,” achieving a score of 92% from the media expert and 88% from the material expert. Furthermore, the effectiveness analysis using the Paired Sample T-Test produced a significance value of 0.00 < 0.05, which demonstrates a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. The N-Gain result of 0.7634 fell into the high category. Thus, the AR-based Edu-Spinner media is deemed valid and effective in enhancing students’ learning outcomes on the topic “Keragaman Budaya Indonesiaku.”

Abstract

Creativity is one of the key competencies of the 21st century that needs to be developed from the elementary school level. PISA 2022 data shows that only 31% of Indonesian students achieve a basic level of creative thinking proficiency, well below the OECD average of 78%. This condition is exacerbated by the lack of use of interactive learning media, especially in Pancasila Education subjects which are often taught conventionally through lectures and package books. Therefore, this study aims to: (1) test the feasibility of the Smatapa media (Smart box Taat Pancasila) in Pancasila Education learning; (2) measure students' creativity improvement; and (3) test the effectiveness of Smatapa media for Grade IV students of SD Negeri Sumberejo 2, Sragen Regency. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE development model. Research subjects were 25 Grade IV students. Data were collected through validation questionnaires, creativity questionnaires, and pretest-posttest instruments. Results showed: (1) Smatapa media was declared highly feasible by content experts (89%) and media experts (94.67%); (2) student creativity improvement reached an N-Gain value of 0.496 (medium category); (3) cognitive learning outcomes improved significantly with an N-Gain of 0.72 (high category), posttest mean of 79.2 up from pretest mean of 25.76, and Wilcoxon test showing Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) <0.001. Smatapa media is proven feasible and effective for Pancasila Education learning in elementary school.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how effective the use of YouTube as a means of independent learning in deepening the understanding of Indonesian language material for fifth grade students at Mertan 04 State Elementary School. The method applied in this study is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out through observation, interview, and documentation techniques by applying source triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the use of YouTube as a learning tool has a positive effect on student understanding. Students become more proactive, motivated, and more easily grasp the material thanks to interesting audio-visual presentations. In addition, the use of YouTube also encourages students to learn independently because they can access and repeat lessons at any time. Improved understanding can be seen from students' ability to answer questions, writing skills, and a more in-depth diversity of answers. Therefore, it can be concluded that YouTube is proven to be effective as a means of independent learning to improve mastery of Indonesian language material among elementary school students.
