Abstract

Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience difficulties in expressive communication, which affect their ability to convey needs, initiate interactions, and express emotions, thereby impacting learning processes and social participation in school. One widely used approach is the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), a visual-based communication method that enables children to convey messages functionally through picture exchange. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of PECS in improving expressive communication skills among second-grade students with autism at SLBN Sidomulyo. A quantitative approach with a Single Subject Research (SSR) design using an A–B–A pattern was employed. Data were collected through structured observation and analyzed using visual analysis within and across conditions. The results show an increase in expressive communication skills from 20% in the initial baseline phase to 50% during intervention, and 80% in the follow-up baseline phase. The absence of significant data overlap indicates consistent behavioral change after the intervention. These findings confirm that PECS is effective and produces sustained improvements.

Abstract

Character education is an essential aspect of elementary education aimed at developing students into disciplined and responsible individuals. This study aimed to describe the implementation of discipline and responsibility values through Paskibra extracurricular activities at SD Srondol Wetan 02 Semarang City and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation. The research employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive-qualitative method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings revealed that discipline and responsibility values were instilled through consistent habituation, including punctuality, compliance with trainers’ instructions, responsibility toward tasks and teams, and awareness of individual roles within the group. These values were not only applied during Paskibra activities but were also internalized into students’ daily lives at school and at home. Supporting factors included school support, trainers’ commitment, parental involvement, and structured activity programs, while inhibiting factors involved students’ physical conditions, limited training time, differences in student characteristics, and weather conditions. These findings indicate that Paskibra extracurricular activities contribute positively to strengthening character education among elementary school students.

Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Round Robin Brainstorming (RRB) and Memory Recall Examine (MRE) learning models in improving students’ cognitive learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education and Character Education (PAI and BP). The research employed a quasi-experimental design using a nonequivalent group pretest–posttest approach involving 36 eleventh-grade students of SMAN Darussholah Singojuruh divided into two treatment groups. Learning outcome data were collected through cognitive tests administered before and after the intervention and analyzed using paired sample t-tests, independent sample t-tests, normalized gain (N-Gain), effect size (Cohen’s d), and coefficient of determination (R²) with SPSS 22. The findings revealed that both learning models significantly improved students’ cognitive learning outcomes (p < 0.05). The MRE group achieved higher improvement with an N-Gain score of 0.62 and a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.74), while the RRB group showed moderate improvement with an N-Gain score of 0.45 and Cohen’s d = 0.65. The R² value of 0.65 indicated that 65% of the variance in learning outcomes was explained by the implemented learning models. These findings suggest that MRE is more effective in improving cognitive learning outcomes, whereas RRB better promotes student engagement and collaborative participation during structured group discussions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the role-playing method on the learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 003 Gunung Tabur. The study employed a quantitative approach using an experimental method through a quasi-experimental design with a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 60 students, comprising 30 students in the experimental class and 30 students in the control class. The experimental group was treated with the application of the role-playing method, while the control group used conventional teaching methods. Research data were obtained through achievement tests administered as pretests and posttests. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics with a MANCOVA test to examine the effect of the learning method on student achievement. The results indicated a significant difference in average achievement scores between the two groups, with the experimental class achieving an average score of 84.80, while the control class achieved an average of 74.60. The results of the hypothesis test showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 with an effect size of 0.59, which falls into the large category. These findings indicate that the role-playing method has a significant effect on students’ IPAS learning outcomes. Role-playing can enhance students’ active engagement in the learning process through simulations and group interactions, thereby helping students understand learning concepts more deeply and contextually. Therefore, this method can serve as an effective alternative learning strategy for improving science learning outcomes in elementary schools.
