Abstract

General Background Primary school language education is designed to develop comprehensive language competencies, focusing heavily on oral communication skills to help students express ideas efficiently within real-world contexts. Specific Background Traditional approaches often leave students disengaged, prompting teachers to implement active learning models like role-playing to foster classroom interaction and deepen conceptual understanding. Knowledge Gap While diverse teaching methods exist, empirical tracking of structured dramatization specifically targeting oral retelling performance remains inconsistent and frequently disconnected from quantitative verification frameworks in elementary settings. Aims This study evaluates the statistical changes in speaking and narrative retelling performance among fourth-grade students after implementing a role-playing pedagogical intervention. Results Quantitative analysis of 14 participants revealed that the student mean score increased from a pre-test baseline of 46.43 ($\text{SD} = 15.742$) to a post-test peak of 87.50 ($\text{SD} = 7.532$). Normality testing confirmed a regular distribution for the pre-test data ($p > 0.05$), though post-test variations deviated significantly on the Shapiro-Wilk metric ($p = 0.027$), indicating a distinct consolidation of high-performing scores following the treatment. Novelty This intervention combines localized dramatic role assumption with empirical tracking metrics to isolate direct shifts in narrative vocalization proficiency. Implications Integrating active simulation frameworks into early language curricula significantly elevates vocal performance, proving that experiential dramatic exercises offer a reliable pathway for reinforcing oral literacy in primary education. Keywords: Oral Communication, Classroom Dramatization, Primary Education, Narrative Retelling, Language Pedagogy Key Findings Highlights Post-intervention speaking evaluations demonstrated a substantial increase in student performance averages alongside a narrower overall data distribution. Normality tests revealed a significant distribution shift in student scores after completing the active learning cycles. Experimental results verify that structural role-playing methods successfully optimize student capabilities in oral narrative retelling.

Abstract

General Background Integrated early childhood learning media combining vivid illustrations with written text plays an essential role in expanding vocabulary mastery and reinforcing early reading skills. Specific Background Utilizing localized educational contexts like regional wildlife sanctuaries bridges the gap between theoretical classroom concepts and real-world student environments, fostering authentic place-based learning experiences. Knowledge Gap Although visual materials are widely used, there is an pedagogical need for structured, low-tech instructional frameworks that simultaneously coordinate early language training with structured sustainability awareness within formal elementary school systems. Aims This study designs and executes an interactive animal flipbook titled "Let's Explore Surabaya Zoo!" to advance literacy development and biodiversity appreciation among second-grade elementary students. Results Implemented via the ASSURE instructional design model and Content and Language Integrated Learning methods, classroom evaluations showed that matching games, bold imagery, and simple animal descriptions successfully heightened student engagement while strengthening target vocabulary and conservation interest. Novelty This development combines localized geography, game-based learning cards, and dual-subject language-science integration within an accessible, low-tech multimedia layout. Implications Implementing structured contextual media demonstrates that budget-friendly tools offer highly effective pathways for upgrading literacy programs and cultivating ecologically conscious citizens early in their educational development. Keywords: Surabaya Zoo, Learning Media, Flipbook, Early Literacy, Environmental Awareness Key Findings Highlights Contextual visual learning tools successfully advance elementary vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension performance. Structural instructional designs based on the ASSURE framework ensure precise alignment with cross-disciplinary national curricula. Game-based card activities paired with localized text patterns systematically enrich environmental sustainability appreciation in early childhood education.

Abstract

General Background Education plays an indispensable role in national progress by cultivating independent, educated, and ethical citizens. Specific Background In the Indonesian primary education context, early cultivation of civic values through physical instructional media is essential to build strong character traits like mutual cooperation and tolerance. Knowledge Gap However, conventional teaching methods often struggle to address current moral crises due to a lack of highly engaging visual tools that seamlessly integrate physical elements with digital assets. Aims This study designs an interactive visual learning tool named Smart Box to improve student understanding of national principles. Results The developed square-shaped visual medium features four functional sides incorporating storytelling, matching stickers, and dice games, while successfully integrating quick-response barcodes for digital ice-breaking videos and daily application lessons. Novelty The unique value of this media lies in its multi-sided, handmade physical architecture combined with mobile-scannable digital links that prompt active physical participation. Implications This innovative approach offers an actionable solution for educators to deliver moral education dynamically, transforming passive learning into an immersive classroom experience. Keywords: Character Education, Learning Media, Primary School, Smartbox, Visual Tools Key Findings Highlights The multi-sided physical media successfully engages students through interactive games, storytelling, and tactile sticker-matching activities. Quick-response barcode integration seamlessly bridges physical classroom tools with digital video lessons and dynamic ice-breaking exercises. The handmade four-layered layout provides a structured, highly visual framework for delivering moral and national value systems.
