Abstract

Excessive mobile phone use among elementary school students has become a growing concern because it may negatively affect children’s behavioral development and sleep health. Previous studies discussing behavioral changes and sleep disturbances due to gadget use are still fragmented and rarely examined simultaneously within the context of elementary education. This study aims to analyze and synthesize recent scientific evidence regarding the effects of excessive mobile phone use on behavioral changes and sleep patterns among elementary school students. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design using the PRISMA guidelines and the Kitchenham and Charters framework. Literature searching was conducted through Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and SINTA databases covering publications from 2020–2025. A total of 10 selected articles involving elementary school students as research subjects were analyzed using thematic synthesis techniques. Data collection was carried out through document analysis using article screening and eligibility instruments based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings indicate that excessive gadget use is associated with decreased learning motivation, impaired concentration, emotional instability, reduced social interaction, and increased behavioral problems. Furthermore, prolonged screen time contributes to shorter sleep duration, poor sleep quality, and irregular sleep patterns. The study concludes that uncontrolled mobile phone use may adversely influence children’s behavioral and sleep development. These findings provide conceptual implications for parents, educators, and policymakers in developing strategies for healthy digital use among elementary school students.

Abstract

The limited availability of interactive learning media and the lack of integration of local wisdom have led to low student interest and ability in understanding the elements and cultural values of Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) folklore. This condition is further complicated in inclusive schools with diverse student characteristics. This study aims to develop, test the feasibility, and evaluate the effectiveness of SAD folklore learning media based on the iSpring Suite application in improving students' understanding of story-building elements and local cultural values. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model involving junior high school teachers and students at an inclusive one-roof school in Tebo Regency. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire (15 items), semi-structured interviews, and validation by material experts and media experts. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively through feasibility percentages and qualitatively using thematic analysis. The results showed that the developed media was categorized as very feasible based on expert validation (average >4.5) and very practical in implementation (average 4.74). The use of the media increased students' motivation, engagement, and ability to identify and describe character values in SAD folklore. This study concludes that the integration of digital-based SAD folk tales effectively supports literary learning in inclusive education and has implications for strengthening local cultural literacy.

Abstract

This study investigates the feasibility of KUKUSA (Kukita Kutima Sampa) local wisdom as a foundation for developing IPAS teaching materials aimed at enhancing creative thinking and collaboration skills among elementary school students. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, this study focused on the Analysis and Development phases conducted at SD Inpres 1 Inti Bantaya, Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi. Data were collected through classroom observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and expert validation. The learning needs analysis revealed a critical gap between Merdeka Curriculum demands and actual classroom practices IPAS instruction relied exclusively on generic textbooks with no local wisdom integration, leaving creative thinking and collaboration skills insufficiently facilitated. Expert validation of the developed teaching material, assessed across nine aspects by two specialist validators using a 1–4 Likert scale, produced an overall mean score of 3.66 (92%), categorized as Very Valid. The highest scores were recorded on Supporting Completeness (M = 3.88) and Local Wisdom Integration (M = 3.83), confirming that KUKUSA's ecological philosophy is authentically and substantively embedded across all material dimensions. The KUKUSA philosophy's communal, activity-based, and ecologically oriented nature provides natural scaffolding for all five creative thinking dimensions (fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, and harmony) and all five collaboration skill dimensions. These findings establish KUKUSA as both culturally legitimate and pedagogically valid as a foundation for contextual, 21st-century-oriented elementary science education.

Abstract

Bullying in primary schools remains a difficult issue to address consistently because it is often perceived as part of students' social dynamics rather than a pedagogical problem that requires structured intervention. This condition causes negative impacts on students' emotional, social, and psychological development to recur without a comprehensive handling strategy. This study aims to analyze and synthesize teachers' strategies in dealing with bullying in elementary schools based on previous research findings. The approach used was a Systematic Literature Review of ten articles that met the inclusion criteria and were published in the 2020-2024 timeframe. The analysis process was carried out thematically through the stages of data extraction, coding, categorization of findings, and concept synthesis. The results of the study show that teacher strategies include a preventive approach through strengthening character education, direct intervention in the form of mediation and student assistance, and collaboration between teachers, schools and parents. The findings also confirm that teacher competence in early detection, consistency of school policies, and support from the social environment determine the success of the handling. The contribution of this research lies in systematically mapping the variations in teachers' strategies and their implementation barriers in the context of primary education. The practical implications of the research results indicate that strengthening teachers' professional capacity and developing sustainable anti-bullying programs need to be placed as an integral part of primary school policies.

Abstract

Science learning at the junior high school level still faces challenges in the form of low science process skills and students’ critical thinking skills due to the use of learning materials that are less contextual and have not integrated environmental potential as a learning resource. This condition causes students to become passive during the learning process and experience difficulties in connecting biodiversity concepts with real-life experiences. This study aims to analyze learning needs, develop, and evaluate the feasibility of an ethnobotany-based biodiversity module in improving junior high school students’ science process skills and critical thinking skills. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model involving 32 seventh-grade students as the trial subjects. Data were collected through observations, interviews, expert validation sheets, user response questionnaires, and essay tests. The research instruments included validation sheets, practicality questionnaires, and tests of science process skills and critical thinking skills. Data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques and product feasibility interpretation. The findings indicate that the developed module meets the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness for science learning implementation. The ethnobotany-based module facilitates exploratory learning activities based on the surrounding environment and encourages students’ active involvement in observation, classification, data analysis, and scientific argumentation. This study concludes that the ethnobotany-based biodiversity module is an effective instructional innovation for supporting contextual and meaningful science learning.

Abstract

Strengthening 21st-century skills, including critical thinking, creativity, collaborative, and communicative (4Cs), was an essential requirement in Indonesian language learning. However, language learning in schools was still dominated by a linguistic-oriented approach, so the development of higher-order thinking skills was not a priority. This study aimed to analyze, evaluate, and interpret the implementation of the Integrative Multiliteracy Learning Model (MULGRANING) in group-based scientific article writing learning to strengthen students’ 4Cs skills. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design through structured observations based on 4Cs skill indicators. The findings indicated that the MULGRANING model was able to develop critical and creative thinking skills through the use of multimodal literacy, as well as improve collaborative and communicative skills through discussion activities and collaborative production of scientific essay texts. In addition, the integration of multiliteracies in learning encouraged active student involvement and strengthened the quality of academic interactions. In general, this study concluded that the MULGRANING model had the potential to be an effective and innovative pedagogical framework in supporting Indonesian language learning oriented toward mastering 21st-century skills.

Abstract

Writing skills are an important indicator of literacy competence in senior high school. However, writing instruction is still largely conventional, limiting students’ ability to express ideas systematically, creatively, and critically. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of project-based learning in improving students’ writing skills in senior high school.This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, involving an in-depth analysis of scientific articles published between 2021 and 2025. This SLR was conducted to gather the latest empirical evidence, minimize bias, and synthesize findings from various sources. The literature search was conducted through Google Scholar using keywords such as "project-based learning models," "writing skills," and "in senior high schools." The searched articles were then selected based on criteria, resulting in a number of relevant articles for analysis. The study results indicate that project-based learning models have a positive impact on improving students' writing skills, particularly in the areas of idea development, text structure, creativity, and higher-order thinking skills. Furthermore, project-based learning plays a role in building a more active, collaborative, and contextual learning process, enabling students to engage more optimally. These findings indicate that the PjBL model is a suitable alternative learning strategy for teaching writing in high schools. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of curriculum support and improving teacher competency in implementing PjBL sustainably to support the improvement of the quality of the learning process in line with educational demands.
