Abstract

General Background: A lack of literacy skills often makes reading an unpopular and challenging activity, despite its importance for information retrieval and comprehension. Specific Background: To address this, selecting an engaging learning method is crucial to prevent monotony in the educational process. This study focuses on the Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review (SQ3R) method combined with Pop-Up Books as a potential solution. Knowledge Gap: While the SQ3R method is established, its specific application with Pop-Up Books and its effect on elementary students’ reading comprehension has not been thoroughly examined. Aims: This research aims to determine the influence of the SQ3R-based Pop-Up Book learning method on the reading comprehension skills of fourth-grade students at SD Muhammadiyah 1 Krembung. Results: Utilizing a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design, the analysis revealed a significant finding. A paired sample t-test showed a sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (< 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. Novelty: The integration of the SQ3R method with the interactive nature of Pop-Up Books offers a novel approach to enhance reading engagement. Implications: The findings demonstrate that the SQ3R-based Pop-Up Book method is effective in improving the reading comprehension of elementary school students. Highlights: The study found a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension. The research used the SQ3R method combined with Pop-Up Books. The method is effective in making reading more engaging for students. Keywords: SQ3R, Pop-Up Book, Reading Comprehension, Elementary Students, Educational Method

Abstract

Background : Character education has long been recognized as a key foundation in preparing young generations to face social and moral challenges. Specific Background: In the Indonesian context, the cultivation of religious character is emphasized through daily school practices and values. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have mostly focused on moral or civic character at the secondary level, while little attention has been given to the systematic habituation of religious character in elementary schools. Aims: This study aims to describe the habituation of religious character through school culture at SDN Curahmalang 1 and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. Results: Using a qualitative descriptive approach with observation, interviews, and documentation, the study reveals that religious practices such as 5S (smile, greeting, courtesy, respect), daily prayers, gratitude, tolerance, and congregational worship foster students’ religiosity, responsibility, and moral values. Supporting factors include teachers’ roles, parental involvement, and conducive school environments, while limited facilities remain a challenge. Novelty: This research highlights a comprehensive framework for embedding religious character within the culture of elementary schools. Implications: The findings suggest that a collaborative and structured school culture can significantly contribute to holistic character development in early education. Highlights: Daily habituation strengthens students’ religious character. Teachers and parents play a vital collaborative role. School culture provides a sustainable framework for value formation.

Abstract

General Background: Scientific literacy is a crucial 21st-century skill that enables students to apply scientific knowledge in solving real-life problems. Specific Background: In Indonesia, the results of PISA consistently show low levels of scientific literacy among students, highlighting the need for effective instructional models. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have explored the Learning Cycle 5E model but rarely examined its role in addressing scientific literacy using the Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP) indicators. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the Learning Cycle 5E model in improving scientific literacy among junior high school students. Results: Using a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest, findings revealed an N-gain of 0.6 (moderate category) and no significant differences across classes based on ANOVA (p = 0.126). Analysis of indicators showed improvements with scientific inquiry (70%, good), problem-solving (56%, fairly good), and scientific reasoning (43%, fairly good). Novelty: The study highlights the integration of PCAP indicators into the Learning Cycle 5E framework, providing a structured evaluation of scientific literacy beyond content mastery. Implications: These findings suggest that the 5E model supports active and inquiry-based learning, which can be adapted by teachers to foster better scientific literacy outcomes in junior high schools.

Abstract

General background: Motivation is a crucial factor in students’ academic success, especially in the context of boarding schools where learning environments shape character and discipline. Specific background: However, many students still struggle with low motivation due to limited self-efficacy and inadequate independent learning skills, which hinder optimal academic achievement. Knowledge gap: While previous studies have examined self-efficacy or independent learning separately, few have analyzed their combined role in shaping students’ motivation at the junior secondary boarding school level. Aims: This study investigates how self-efficacy and independent learning contribute to students’ learning motivation at SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Tulangan. Results: Using a saturated sample of 75 students across grades 7 to 9 and analyzing data with multiple linear regression, the findings show that self-efficacy and independent learning significantly predict learning motivation (F=56.838; p<0.001), explaining 62.1% (R²=0.612) of its variance. Novelty: The study demonstrates that the synergy of self-efficacy and independent learning provides stronger explanatory power for student motivation compared to analyzing them in isolation. Implications: Strengthening these two factors may offer educators practical strategies to foster motivation and academic engagement in Islamic boarding school settings. Highlights: Self-efficacy and independent learning jointly shape students’ learning motivation. The model explains 62.1% of motivation variance among boarding school students. Offers insights for strategies to strengthen motivation in Islamic education contexts. Keywords: Self-Efficacy, Independent Learning, Motivation, Boarding School, Secondary Education

Abstract

General Background: Bullying, as a persistent form of intentional oppression and violence, has become an escalating problem in schools, negatively affecting students’ academic and social development. Background (Specific): In the elementary school context, children often lack the resilience to face bullying, thus requiring character education rooted in moral and religious values.
