<![CDATA[Purpose of the study: The integration of digital technology in primary education has become increasingly urgent in the era of 21st-century learning transformation. However, teachers’ readiness to implement deep learning approaches and instructional innovation remains a challenge, particularly in non-urban areas such as Sumenep Regency. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving six purposively selected teachers as primary data sources. Data were collected through classroom observations and structured interviews and then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Main Findings: The findings reveal that teachers’ conceptual understanding of deep learning remains limited, and its classroom application has not reached a transformative level. Teacher readiness is influenced by insufficient training, inadequate infrastructure, weak institutional support, and varying levels of self-efficacy. Systemic barriers such as limited technological access and lack of supportive school policies hinder also implementation efforts. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study uniquely examines teacher readiness for deep learning-oriented instruction in an underrepresented context—rural elementary schools in Indonesia. Unlike previous research that predominantly focuses on urban or secondary education settings, this study captures the real-world constraints and opportunities for digital transformation in low-resource environments. It also broadens the conceptual framing of “deep learning” beyond technology, integrating pedagogical depth and reflective teaching practices. The implications highlight the urgency of designing context-based, practice-oriented teacher training programs and developing supportive policies that enable sustainable digital pedagogy.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose of the study: This study employs a linguistic-educational approach to analyze the dynamics of Arabic synonyms in the context of foreign language learning. It primarily aims to examine learners’ patterns in using synonyms, identify both linguistic and pedagogical challenges in teaching them, and formulate more effective instructional strategies. Methodology: A descriptive qualitative design with a case study method was applied to students from Madrasah Aliyah Alkhairaat and the Arabic Language Education Program at IAIN Ternate. Data were gathered through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis related to vocabulary learning. Main Findings: The findings reveal that learners tend to use synonyms uniformly, with limited attention to semantic nuance and contextual accuracy. Major challenges include the absence of contextual teaching strategies and learners’ low semantic awareness. Current textbooks and teaching methods remain structural and fail to engage pragmatic dimensions. The study proposes the use of contextual, collocational, and semantic-mapping approaches to improve synonym teaching. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to the development of more communicative and contextually grounded strategies for teaching Arabic vocabulary, especially in the area of synonym acquisition, by bridging linguistic insights with practical pedagogical applications.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose of the study: Physical Education, Sports, and Health are vital in developing elementary school students' fundamental motor skills. However, previous studies have often examined students' perceptions of physical education and motor skill development separately, overlooking how students' subjective experiences and attitudes toward Physical Education, Sports, and Health directly relate to measurable motor skill outcomes. Methodology: The research employed a quantitative survey involving 40 randomly selected 5th-grade elementary school students. Data were collected using a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire designed and validated for elementary students, measuring perceptions across six dimensions, and an observation checklist aligned with the national curriculum indicators to assess basic motor skills. Main Findings: The results showed that 75% of students reported high enjoyment of Physical Education lessons, and 65% actively participated in physical activities during class. Observations indicated that most students demonstrated strong locomotor and manipulative skills, though balance and coordination still required development. The analysis suggested that students who reported higher enjoyment and perceived benefits of Physical Education tended to show better motor skills, indicating a positive correlation between perception and skill development. Novelty/Originality of this study: The findings highlight the need for more inclusive and engaging Physical Education, Sports, and Health curricula that foster enjoyment and systematically develop under-emphasized skills like balance and coordination. This study contributes novel empirical evidence linking students' subjective perceptions with objective motor skill outcomes in Indonesian elementary education, an area largely overlooked in prior research.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose of the study: This study aims to identify and analyze the factors that cause teachers to be reluctant to accept the position of principal. Methodology: The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design involving six teachers at an elementary school in Musi Rawas. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis. Analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model, encompassing data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources. Main Findings: The results of the study show that internal factors such as low self-confidence, time constraints, and lack of managerial experience, as well as external factors such as administrative burden, low institutional support, and an organizational culture that is not yet conducive, are the main obstacles for teachers in accepting the position of principal. Teachers also revealed that lack of role models and unclear career progression pathways became psychological barriers that affected their leadership interest. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes original insights by uncovering teacher decision-making patterns in declining principal positions within rural elementary schools. It also proposes strategic, context-specific interventions to enhance teachers’ leadership readiness and support their transition into school management roles.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose of the study: The rapid pace of digitalization among elementary school children, particularly through social media such as TikTok, has raised concerns about the erosion of religious values instilled in madrasah environments. The emergence of the TikTok syndrome—characterized by dependence on short digital content—has the potential to shift children's focus away from religious practices and spiritual character development. Methodology: The study employs a descriptive quantitative approach using a survey method. The research subjects were 60 fifth-grade students at an elementary madrasah located in Sumenep Regency, selected through random sampling. The instrument used was a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 25 statements, with two main variables: religious character and TikTok syndrome symptoms. Main Findings: The results of the study indicate that students generally have good religious character, as evidenced by their practice of praying five times a day, honesty, and respect for teachers and parents. However, the level of TikTok consumption is quite high, with some students showing signs of disruption, such as forgetting to study and delaying prayers. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is among the first to empirically examine the intersection between TikTok usage and religious character formation in early-grade Islamic education. It introduces the concept of "TikTok syndrome" in the context of spiritual development among children—a construct that remains underexplored in existing literature. Theoretically, this study contributes to the growing scholarship on media-socialization and religious identity construction in digital contexts.]]>
