However, there are challenges related to the limited understanding of teachers in using this media effectively and the limited educational infrastructure in the area. This research suggests the need for training for teachers and improving educational facilities to optimize the use of nature-based learning media. It is hoped that the use of local wisdom in education can enrich students' learning experiences and strengthen their understanding of natural sciences.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile (PPP) at SDN 02 Amban, South Sorong Regency, Southwest Papua, as well as the impacts and challenges faced in strengthening student character. Character education based on Pancasila values ​​is very relevant in Papua, taking into account the cultural diversity and geographical challenges that exist. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews and document analysis. The research results show that the implementation of PPP at SDN 02 Amban succeeded in integrating Pancasila values ​​such as mutual cooperation, social justice and humanity in learning. However, challenges such as limited teacher training, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of parent participation in character education are the main obstacles. This research suggests the need for increased teacher training, a greater role for parents, and improved infrastructure to support more effective PPP implementation.

Abstract

At elementary schools, cases of child abuse are common among pupils, putting teachers in a challenging situation when it comes to reporting such cases. This study aimed to identify the child abuse reporting practices and perceptions of teachers regarding reporting practices in public elementary schools in the Alimosho Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) of Lagos State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select a sample of 314 public primary school teachers in the study area through a cross-sectional survey research design. Data was collected using a self-structured questionnaire, and both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the data analysis. The results showed that only 15.2% of teachers in the research area had a negative view of child abuse reporting practices, while the majority (84.8%) had a positive opinion. Additionally, a strong negative correlation (r = -0.254, p-value = 0.000) was found between teachers’ perceptions and child abuse reporting practices in public elementary schools in Alimosho LCDA. Based on the study’s findings, it is recommended that the government and school administration provide psychological training and a support system on child abuse to improve teachers’ attitudes toward reporting child abuse.
