Abstract

Purpose – Students' conservation literacy could be greatly increased by integrating local knowledge with the PBL approach and augmented reality technology. In order to increase students' conservation literacy, this study aimed to create a student book on biodiversity that was focused on problem-based learning, incorporated local knowledge, and supported by augmented reality media.Methodology – The ADDIE paradigm of research and development is referred to as the research technique. Manokwari high school students served as the study's 32 subjects. Validation sheets and questionnaires were used as data collection tools to assess the validity of the student book and the students' answers to conservation literacy questions. Students' replies, validation results, and conservation literacy abilities were all examined in the descriptive data analysis.Findings – The findings of this study indicate that the validation results for the Biodiversity Student Book were 93.65% (very valid category), indicating that it is suitable for implementation in learning. The validation of the conservation literacy instrument yielded a 96.13% validity rate (very valid). The results of student responses after the trial of the student book in learning were 85% (very practical or effortless to use category). The results of the trial evaluating the effectiveness of student conservation literacy showed a Sig of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a difference in the average level of student conservation literacy before and after learning.Contribution – This study concludes that the use of student books on biodiversity is highly effective in improving and developing students' conservation literacy

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy and emotional intelligence on the learning motivation of elementary school students at SDIT Bina Insan, Parepare. The research is grounded in the recognition that psychological capacities, particularly self-efficacy and emotional intelligence, play a critical role in shaping students’ enthusiasm, persistence, and engagement in learning.Methodology – Employing a quantitative explanatory research design, the study involved sixth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected from April to June 2025 using questionnaires, documentation, and interviews. Instrument validity was assessed using the Pearson product–moment correlation, and reliability using Cronbach’s alpha. The analysis included classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, and F-tests to determine both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on learning motivation.Findings – The regression analysis produced the equation Y = 10.448 + 0.223X₁ + 0.527X₂, with an R value of 0.927 indicating a powerful relationship between the independent variables and learning motivation. The R² value of 0.860 shows that 86% of the variance in learning motivation is explained by self-efficacy and emotional intelligence. The t-test results confirmed that both self-efficacy (t = 2.835, p = 0.000) and emotional intelligence (t = 6.755, p < 0.001) have positive and significant effects, with emotional intelligence emerging as the dominant factor. The F-test (F = 86.095, p < 0.000) further demonstrated that the variables jointly exert a significant influence.Contribution – This study reinforces the theoretical and practical understanding that enhancing self-efficacy and emotional intelligence can substantially boost learning motivation in elementary school contexts, particularly within integrated Islamic education environments. The findings can inform the design of targeted psychopedagogical programs for teachers, parents, and policymakers to foster both cognitive and emotional readiness for learning.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates differentiated project-based assessment practices as a strategic approach to strengthening literacy and numeracy in elementary schools within the spirit of Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn). Emerging from the gap between the paradigm of assessment as learning and conventional, outcome-oriented practices, this study examines how teachers design, implement, and reflect on student-centered assessments grounded in authentic life contexts.Methodology – A multi-case qualitative approach was employed across three elementary schools in East Java: SDN Manukan Kulon (Surabaya), SDN Kedung 1 (Probolinggo), and SDN Kanten 1 (Bojonegoro), with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and analysis of assessment documents.Findings – The findings reveal four consistent cross-contextual patterns: contextualized assessment planning, differentiated implementation of processes and products, the use of authentic instruments that evaluate thinking processes, and teachers' professional reflection that strengthens pedagogical awareness. The integration of these four dimensions yielded the Differentiated Project-Based Assessment Framework (DiPBAF), a synthesized model that represents a reflective and equitable learning cycle. This model underscores an epistemological shift in assessment—from a mere measurement tool to a transformative learning vehicle that fosters autonomy, empathy, and collaboration.Contribution – Theoretically, this research enriches the discourse on 21st-century assessment oriented toward process and reflection; practically, it offers new directions for contextual assessment policies that promote teacher professionalism and high-quality human-centered learning.

Abstract

Purpose – This research compared students’ understanding of mathematical concepts when taught through two different approaches: conventional instruction and the ICARE model (Introduction, Connect, Apply, Reflect, Extend) supported by the Desmos application in the topic of quadratic equations. Despite growing evidence on the individual benefits of the ICARE learning model and the Desmos application, limited empirical research has examined their systematic integration within each ICARE phase to improve secondary students’ conceptual understanding of quadratic equations.Methodology – The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group. A total of 45 ninth-grade students from SMP Manunggal Medan participated in the 2025/2026 academic year, comprising 23 in the control class and 22 in the experimental class. The instrument was a conceptual understanding test consisting of open-ended questions, validated by experts. Data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test.Findings – The results showed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.001). The experimental class obtained an average score of 76.09, while the control class reached only 59.65. Distribution analysis also revealed that 86.4% of students in the experimental group were categorized as good to very good. In comparison, 78.2% of students in the control group were categorized as poor to very poor. These outcomes suggest that the ICARE model, combined with Desmos, is efficacious in improving students' conceptual understanding of mathematics and in narrowing individual achievement gaps.Contribution –In practice, the findings underscore the importance of preparing teachers to integrate technology into their teaching practices, thereby making learning more interactive, collaborative, and student centered.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the impact of implementing the SARRES Fun Learning model, grounded in the principles of Deep Learning (mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning), on improving children's reading comprehension skills at the Community Reading Center (TBM) using Barrett's Taxonomy.Methodology – The study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. The research subjects consisted of 36 elementary school children selected through purposive sampling. The intervention was conducted over four sessions by applying the six stages of SARRES (Survey, Ask, Read Aloud, Review, Engage, and Share). Data were collected using a validated and reliable reading comprehension test and analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-tests, and normalized gain.Findings – The results showed a significant improvement in children's reading comprehension skills, with the average score increasing from 34.97 to 55.89 (t = −16.950; p < 0.05). The n-gain value of 0.55 indicates moderate learning effectiveness and an improvement in all Barrett Taxonomy indicators.Contribution – The novelty of this study lies in the empirical testing of the application of the SARRES Fun Learning model, implemented using Deep Learning principles in the context of non-formal literacy at the Community Reading Park (TBM). This research expands the empirical evidence on the effectiveness of adapting the SQ3R strategy in non-formal learning environments. It provides practical implications as an alternative, systematic, and applicable reading-learning strategy for TBM managers and facilitators.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates how recontextualizing EFL reading instruction through local-wisdom-based Problem-Based Learning (PBL) supports students’ reading comprehension and learning experiences.Methodology – The study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design to integrate students’ perceptions with their classroom experiences. Quantitative data were collected through a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 27 third-semester English Language Teaching (ELT) students, examining perceived support for reading comprehension across text understanding, inferential reading, critical reading, cultural relevance, and engagement. Qualitative data were gathered through three classroom observations, reflective journals, and in-depth interviews with three purposively selected students.Findings – Students perceived strong support for reading comprehension, particularly in cultural relevance, understanding main ideas, and engagement. Qualitative evidence indicates that familiarity with local narratives, traditions, and places reduced cognitive distance between texts and readers, enabling more focused meaning construction in English. Problem-based tasks further positioned reading as a purposeful, collaborative activity focused on solving contextualized problems rather than answering isolated comprehension questions. However, support for inferential and critical reading was perceived more unevenly, reflecting differences in linguistic readiness and analytical confidence. Integration of quantitative and qualitative findings demonstrates that positive perceptions of reading support were grounded in culturally familiar, problem-oriented, and socially mediated reading experiences.Contribution – The study concludes that local-wisdom-based PBL fosters a coherent EFL reading environment that anchors comprehension and engagement while gradually supporting the development of higher-order reading processes.

Abstract

Purpose – There is limited empirical evidence about the readiness of Islamic education teachers to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teaching, especially at a national level in developing Muslim-majority countries. This study examines how ready Indonesian Islamic education teachers are to adopt AI in the classroom. It also identifies how their readiness levels vary across regions.Methodology – This study used a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design. Data came from 11,393 Islamic education teachers in 31 of Indonesia's 38 provinces. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics to show readiness levels and inferential statistics to check the robustness of the findings.Findings – Most Islamic education teachers are positively ready to use AI. Of these, 32.6% (3,711 teachers) are very ready, 37.7% (4,294 teachers) are ready, 22.4% (2,557 teachers) are moderately ready, 4.9% (553 teachers) are not ready, and 2.4% (278 teachers) are very unready. Overall, Indonesian Islamic education teachers are generally prepared for AI integration, although some differences in readiness remain.Contribution – This study gives large-scale empirical evidence on AI readiness among Islamic education teachers. It fills a major gap in Islamic education and educational technology research. The findings support data-driven policies and professional development programs. These can strengthen the use of AI in Islamic education, while keeping pedagogical and ethical considerations in view.
