Abstract

Fine motor development is an essential aspect of elementary education, as it supports students in performing various academic tasks, including writing, drawing, and object manipulation. Although numerous studies have reported the effectiveness of collage activities in improving fine motor skills, existing findings remain fragmented and have yet to provide a comprehensive conceptual understanding. This study aimed to synthesize empirical findings on the implementation of collage activities in elementary school learning and to develop a conceptual model based on the synthesized evidence. A qualitative approach was employed using a literature review, while data were analyzed through thematic synthesis. The literature selection followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, resulting in seven empirical studies that met the inclusion criteria. The synthesis identified four major themes: (1) collage activities improve hand–eye coordination; (2) collage activities enhance the strength and control of small hand muscles; (3) collage activities improve precision and manipulative skills; and (4) collage activities promote active learning experiences that support fine motor development. Based on these themes, a conceptual model was developed to explain the relationship between manipulative collage activities, sensorimotor stimulation, fine motor skill development, and their implications for elementary school learning. The findings reinforce collage as not only an art-based learning activity but also a pedagogical strategy that systematically supports fine motor development while providing a conceptual framework for instructional design in elementary education.

Abstract

The revision of the 2025 Phase B Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes has created a need to re-evaluate the relevance of textbooks currently used in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. This study aims to analyze the content relevance of the Kawan Seiring Grade III Indonesian language textbook to the 2025 Phase B Learning Outcomes. A qualitative evaluative approach employing deductive content analysis was adopted. The data sources consisted of the Kawan Seiring Student Book, Teacher's Guide, and the Decree of the Head of the Agency for Standards, Curriculum, and Educational Assessment No. 046/H/KR/2025. All eight chapters were analyzed based on the four Learning Outcomes elements: listening, reading and viewing, speaking and presenting, and writing. The findings indicate that all Learning Outcomes elements are represented in the textbook, although with varying degrees of coverage. The strongest alignment was found in reading and viewing, speaking and presenting, and writing, while listening activities remain largely dependent on teacher narration and are not consistently supported by standardized audio resources. The textbook also demonstrates coherence among learning objectives, learning activities, assessments, and multimodal texts, although improvements are needed in structured presentation tasks, independent writing activities, and digital learning resources. Overall, the findings suggest that Kawan Seiring remains relevant as a primary learning resource for the early stage of Phase B, provided that teachers adapt its implementation to learners' needs and current curriculum requirements.

Abstract

The Children's Physical Education Course is one of the core courses designed to equip students of the Primary School Teacher Education Program (PGSD) with the competencies required to plan and implement physical education learning in elementary schools. This study aimed to describe PGSD students' perceptions of the Children's Physical Education Course in preparing their teaching competencies for elementary schools. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed involving PGSD students who had completed the course. Data were collected using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed descriptively using the mean score, Ideal Mean (Mi), and Ideal Standard Deviation (SDi). Interviews were conducted as supporting data to enrich the interpretation of the quantitative findings. The results revealed that students' perceptions of the course were categorized as good, with an average score of 80.67. The highest scores were obtained for the indicators of course benefits and content relevance, whereas teaching self-confidence and course relevance to the teaching profession received relatively lower scores. These findings indicate that the Children's Physical Education Course has positively contributed to preparing students' teaching competencies. However, strengthening practical teaching experiences and enhancing the relevance of course content to the professional demands of elementary school teachers remain necessary.

Abstract

The integration of Islamic values in learning is an essential requirement for prospective elementary school teachers in promoting value-based education. This study aims to analyze the level and models of Islamic value integration in teaching modules developed by prospective elementary school teachers. The study employed a qualitative approach using content analysis of five student-developed teaching modules. Data were analyzed using an Islamic value integration rubric encompassing four aspects: learning objectives, learning materials, learning activities, and learning assessment, which were further classified into implicit, explicit, and contextual integration models. The findings indicate that all teaching modules contained elements of Islamic value integration; however, the integration was not implemented comprehensively or systematically. Islamic values were most dominantly integrated into learning activities, while learning objectives and assessment components demonstrated a low level of integration. The implicit integration model was the most frequently used, followed by explicit and contextual models, suggesting that Islamic values tend to be positioned as supporting elements rather than as core pedagogical foundations. These findings reveal a gap between students’ normative understanding of the importance of Islamic values and their ability to translate these values into coherent instructional planning. This study recommends strengthening pedagogical training in teacher education institutions to enable prospective teachers to design holistic and meaningful Islamic value-based learning in elementary education.

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation and the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum), computational thinking has emerged as a core cognitive competence that pre-service teachers must master. The acquisition of this skill is essential to support students' scientific reasoning. This study aims to deeply uncover the computational thinking skill profiles of pre-service teachers in solving science problems, specifically on the topic of electrical phenomena. A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was employed in this study, involving two students from STKIP Al Hikmah Surabaya as research subjects. Data were gathered through technical triangulation, comprising a 10-item essay test, cognitive activity observations, and semi-structured interviews, and were subsequently analyzed using the Miles & Huberman interactive model. The research findings revealed that the two students exhibited highly contrasting profiles. Student 1 demonstrated mature mastery across all four computational thinking indicators, with only minor errors. Conversely, Student 2 tended to be less focused, hurried, and experienced serious cognitive barriers, particularly in abstracting physical models and formulating systematic procedural steps. However, both subjects showed an identical trend of declining scores on questions requiring more complex macro-reasoning. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that weaknesses in the pillars of computational thinking lineally impact the low metacognitive skills of prospective educators. These findings potentially trigger future difficulties for pre-service teachers in designing sequential, logical, and safe science lesson plans (Modul Ajar/RPP) and student worksheets (LKPD) for elementary school-aged children.

Abstract

Learning motivation is a crucial factor in supporting children's knowledge acquisition. It directly impacts children, particularly regarding their academic performance. Low learning motivation represents a significant barrier to achieving educational goals. Parents are the first and most vital educators in their child's educational process. Consequently, parental roles are highly essential in fulfilling the immense responsibilities of personality development, skill enhancement, and household management. This study aims to describe the role of parents in increasing children's learning motivation. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The data analysis techniques used were data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Based on the research findings, the lack of parental involvement in motivating children's learning is caused by a shortage of available time and a sub-optimal understanding of the school subjects. Parents are suggested to take several actions to motivate and improve their children's learning outcomes, such as dedicating spare time to communicate with their children.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills play a fundamental role for pre-service teacher students in addressing the complexities of 21st-century education. These skills equip future teachers with the ability to filter credible information, identify biases, and construct logical arguments, enabling them to guide students to become independent and reflective thinkers. Therefore, it is essential to map the critical thinking skills of pre-service teacher students. This research is a quantitative descriptive study using an ex-post facto approach. Critical thinking skills were measured using a test instrument based on five indicators: basic clarification, interpretation, explanation, analysis, and inference. The results show that the critical thinking skills of pre-service teacher students fall into three categories: very good, good, and fair. The most dominant category is good, which implies the importance of developing critical thinking skills among pre-service teachers in the learning process.

Abstract

The challenges of 21st-century education demand a fundamental transformation in how prospective elementary school teachers understand and teach science. This study aims to identify the scientific literacy profile of elementary school teacher education (PGSD) students at STKIP Al Hikmah Surabaya as a baseline for developing AI-assisted learning media. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method with a survey design involving 68 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a standardized two-tier multiple-choice test adapted from PISA 2018 and TOSLS frameworks, covering content, process, and context dimensions. The results indicated that the majority of students (70.59%) reached the "High" category, while 26.47% were in the "Moderate" category. However, a significant disparity was found across dimensions: the content dimension showed a wide score range (55–85, mean 71), while the process dimension recorded the lowest individual score of 42 (mean 67). These findings suggest that while the overall average is sufficient, there is a sharp competency gap in conceptual mastery and scientific inquiry skills among individuals. Consequently, this study recommends the development of AI-Assisted Inquiry modules in the next phase of the research roadmap to provide personalized learning paths and scaffolding, specifically addressing the identified weaknesses in the process and content dimensions to ensure the quality of future science educators.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Grammarly app in fostering independent learning for writing practices among senior high school students. The research employs observation and interview data collection methods, with descriptive analysis for observations and thematic coding for interviews. The results demonstrate that Grammarly positively impacts students' independent learning experiences. Initial use of the app yields favorable perceptions, akin to personalized guidance from an English teacher, though concerns about effectiveness emerge as potential barriers to full adoption. The findings align with existing literature on technology-assisted language learning, showing the app's capacity to promote self-directed learning, improve writing skills, and support non-native English speakers in overcoming language barriers. The study underscores the app's potential to enhance language learning outcomes and writing proficiency, echoing prior research.
