Abstract

The learning in the Social Studies Programme aims to give students the knowledge and skills to function in their life with issues concerning their family, community and nation. But social study learning is also known to be a dull curriculum which involved memorisation with relatively little student involved. It is why role-playing models in the learning of social studies are among the desired solutions in order to make meaningful learning and easy to understand. This study sought to explore role-play models in the social studies teaching and process and student out come. The approach adopted in this paper was a literature review conducted on 11 articles retrieved from Google Scholar published in the last five years. From the literature review, the Role-Playing Model is proposed as an interesting and creative learning strategy to increase the quality of learning social studies, especially at elementary school

Abstract

Local wisdom, as an integral part of societal development, encompasses values preserved to meet needs and interactions with the environment, serving as an identity and reflection of cultural heritage passed down through generations. This study aims to explore the role of local wisdom in developing communication and collaboration skills among elementary school students in the 21st century through a systematic literature review (SLR). The research analyzed 25 relevant articles published between 2018 and 2023, selected based on inclusion criteria such as focus on local wisdom in education, relevance to 21st-century skills, and peer-reviewed accreditation. The findings indicate that integrating local wisdom values—such as mutual cooperation (gotong royong), deliberation (musyawarah), and tolerance—enhances students' communication and collaboration abilities by fostering cultural relevance and active participation in learning. The study concludes that local wisdom-based learning strategies are essential for addressing 21st-century educational challenges, offering practical implications for curriculum design and teacher training programs rooted in cultural contexts.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines digital technology-based policy approaches to enhance the quality and access of primary education in developing countries, a critical issue given the persistent disparities in educational equity and the urgent need for inclusive solutions. Despite the transformative potential of digital technologies, their implementation often fails due to infrastructure deficits, low teacher digital literacy, and contextual barriers. Analyzing 40 peer-reviewed articles (2019–2024), the study reveals a stark policy-implementation gap: while 68% of national policies prioritize infrastructure (e.g., internet connectivity), 70% of local challenges stem from infrastructure gaps and 65% from low teacher readiness. Successful cases, such as China's 85% school digitalization rate, underscore the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration and balanced budgeting (e.g., 30% infrastructure, 40% teacher training). However, rural areas lag significantly, with only 15% adoption in Albania due to electricity shortages. The findings highlight the limitations of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in addressing contextual challenges such as teacher technophobia (40%) and curriculum misalignment (55%). The study's implications are vital for policymakers: (1) adaptive policies must balance infrastructure investment with human capacity building; (2) hybrid learning models can bridge urban-rural divides, as proven by blended learning's 30–50% participation increase in remote areas; and (3) localized strategies, including culturally responsive teacher training, are essential for equitable adoption. The urban-centric data bias (80%) and pandemic-era context further necessitate longitudinal research in low-resource settings. By advocating for holistic frameworks that integrate infrastructure, pedagogy, and inclusive governance, this review provides a roadmap for sustainable digital education transformation in developing nations

Abstract

In primary education, textbooks serve as a cornerstone for the learning process, playing a pivotal role in achieving educational goals. A high-quality textbook not only aligns with the curriculum but also uses precise language, features appealing visuals, and inspires students to engage actively in learning. For this reason, it is essential to evaluate the suitability of textbooks before they are adopted in classroom instruction. The Indonesian language textbook “Bergerak Bersama” for fifth-grade students is among those implemented under the Merdeka Curriculum, making a feasibility review—particularly of Chapter I, “Aku yang Unik”—crucial to ensure its positive impact on both teaching and learning outcomes. This study examines the appropriateness of content quality, language use, presentation style, and graphic design within Chapter I of the aforementioned textbook. The central question addressed is the extent to which the book meets the standards across these four dimensions. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing document analysis as the primary method. Data were collected through direct assessment of Chapter I, following the BSNP textbook eligibility instrument, with each aspect evaluated based on established BSNP indicators. Findings reveal that, in terms of content, the material corresponds well with the latest curriculum objectives and remains relevant, especially in introducing adjectives, affixes, synonyms, antonyms, and compound sentences. Linguistically, the textbook adheres to the Indonesian spelling guidelines (PUEBI), and the language is clear and accessible to students. Regarding presentation, the textbook is considered engaging and motivating, further supported by comprehensive practice questions at the end of each chapter. Visually, choices in typography, formatting, and illustrations meet accepted standards and enhance student comprehension. The analysis indicates that Chapter I of “Bergerak Bersama” fulfills the BSNP’s criteria for use as a teaching resource in elementary schools. The four dimensions—content, language, presentation, and visual design—are all adequately addressed, supporting an effective and enjoyable learning experience. Consequently, this textbook stands as a relevant and reliable primary learning resource aligned with the curriculum and the needs of students

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an active and constructive approach to engineering education in which students are asked to work on problems without predetermined solutions in a problem-solving context. This paper has attempted to investigate the potential impact of PBL on the development of necessary engineering competencies in Indian school students, who constitute a crucial part of the country's potential innovative power base. Using the Hindi versions of 111 science and engineering project documents, this study qualitatively analyzed three of them to examine the projects—Building a Simple Electric Motor, Investigating Sliding Friction on an Inclined Plane, and Designing a Hydrometer Using Plastic Balls. The findings lead to the conclusion that these projects indeed embody fundamental engineering concepts such as electromagnetism, mechanics, and fluid dynamics, while fostering technical competency, creativity, and cooperative problem-solving as reflected in their design structure and projected outcomes. However, substantial barriers to implementing this reform in the Indian context exist, such as resource constraints, an exam-oriented curriculum, and inadequate teacher preparation, as demonstrated by the analysis. The study argues that PBL is a powerful pedagogical tool for transforming engineering education in developing countries, while suggesting relevant measures such as teacher training, curriculum inclusion, policy advocacy for experiential learning, and industry collaboration in these countries to address these challenges. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential of PBL to foster innovation among future engineering graduates in India, a relevant contribution to the national education agenda in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 as well as global discussions on experiential learning

Abstract

Background Holistic STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education is essential to harness the potential of young learners as they are the future leaders and workforce in the Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 and Society 5.0 era. Unfortunately, the teaching of STEM subjects that are rich in content does not necessarily encourage the development of talents for critical thinking, creativity, and complex problem solving. This study investigates the effectiveness of an immersive learning approach in STEM science classes in Senior High Schools in Indonesia and explains the extent to which this approach is supported by applicable principles on how this approach can be used to enhance student learning. Referring to a case study conducted in a senior high school in Bengkulu, this study discusses the strategies implemented, the challenges faced, and their impact on student engagement and understanding of content and learning 21st century skills. The findings indicate that the integrated immersive learning STEM curriculum in schools has resulted in an 82.5% increase in student learning motivation, a 20% ~ 35% increase in programming skills, and a 27.5% increase in collaboration skills. However, obstacles such as teacher education and technological facility constraints still exist. Based on various perspectives and real-world experiences, this note recommends a critical approach to promote the embedding of deep learning in STEM education through targeted policies and systemic support. Hopefully, these suggestions can build educational innovations that are sustainable enough to be disseminated to other regions in Indonesia.

Abstract

In the digital era, education is undergoing a profound transformation with the emergence of social media as a powerful learning tool. This study explores the impact of Instagram and TikTok on student learning in Indonesia through a case study approach conducted at three high schools in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung. The research aims to analyze how these social media platforms influence students' learning motivation, academic performance, and character development. Employing a qualitative methodology, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and content analysis of social media materials. The findings reveal that Instagram and TikTok significantly boost learning motivation among 78% of the 90 eleventh-grade students surveyed and improve academic performance by 15-25% in subjects like chemistry and sociology. However, challenges such as distraction from non-educational content (reported by 60% of students) and inadequate digital literacy skills pose significant hurdles. Additionally, while positive content fosters values like respect and responsibility, exposure to inappropriate material risks undermining character development. This study recommends the strategic integration of social media into the curriculum with clear guidelines and teacher guidance, alongside digital literacy training, to maximize benefits and mitigate negative impacts. These insights offer a pathway for educators and policymakers to harness the potential of digital platforms in enhancing education while addressing their inherent challenges.

Abstract

High levels of academic procrastination among students need to be addressed to ensure the effectiveness of group counseling services. A reduction in procrastination is reflected in more active participation during learning, improved planning and time management, as well as better quality of assignments and academic outcomes. This research aimed to reduce academic procrastination by applying group counseling methods combined with self-instruction techniques. The study employed an experimental approach within the framework of action research in guidance and counseling. Participants consisted of four students identified as having high levels of academic procrastination. Data were collected using self-evaluation questionnaires and analyzed both descriptively and comparatively. The findings revealed notable differences between the pre-cycle, first cycle, and second cycle. Initial (pre-test) results indicated that students' procrastination scores fell within the high to very high categories (54, 53, 57, 62). By the second cycle, these scores had decreased to the very low category (18, 18, 16, 21). This demonstrates a substantial reduction in academic procrastination following the intervention. However, as the study involved only four participants, the results may not fully represent the broader student population. It is hoped that these findings will encourage students to become more aware of their own study habits. Guidance and counseling teachers are encouraged to design engaging and relevant services that foster a comfortable environment for students to share their experiences. Future research should consider involving more diverse participants and exploring alternative techniques or approaches that might be even more effective in addressing academic procrastination. The use of group counseling with self-instruction techniques has shown promise in helping students manage and reduce academic procrastination

Abstract

This study was motivated by existing issues at SDN Tarokan 4. Based on the results of interviews, classroom observations, and an analysis of students’ learning outcomes by the grade V teacher, it was found that there was a lack of variety in teaching materials and suboptimal use of technology in the classroom. Out of 41 students, only 13 achieved scores above the Minimum Learning Mastery Criteria (KKTP) in the topic of changes to the Earth's surface. To address these issues, a flipbook-based teaching material was developed to improve student learning outcomes. The aim of this research is to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the developed flipbook teaching material. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The trial subjects comprised 41 students, with 10 participating in the limited trial and 31 in the broader trial. Instruments used included validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires, as well as pretest and posttest assessments. Validation results from subject matter experts and teaching material experts indicated that the product falls under the “highly valid” category, with an average percentage of 93%. Practicality analysis based on teacher response questionnaires in the limited trial showed a percentage of 100%, while student response questionnaires in the broader trial yielded a percentage of 82.5%. Both are categorized as “highly practical.” Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the teaching material was demonstrated through the N-gain test, which showed a 77.07% increase between pretest and posttest scores, classified as “effective.” Based on these results, the flipbook teaching material is deemed suitable for use in teaching the topic of changes to the Earth's surface to improve learning outcomes for grade V elementary students.

Abstract

Low student achievement and limited engagement in science classes, particularly on the topic of changes in the state of matter, prompted this study. Teachers have continued to rely on conventional instructional methods, with teaching materials primarily sourced from textbooks. Existing media have not succeeded in improving learning outcomes, and instructional processes rarely connect scientific concepts to students’ everyday experiences. This research aims to evaluate the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the Koperwuz instructional comic, which incorporates the Nature of Science (NoS) approach, in enhancing student performance on the topic of phase changes in fourth-grade classes at SDN Tarokan 4 Kediri. The study adopted a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, following the ADDIE development framework. Validation was conducted by subject matter and media experts. Practicality was assessed through large-scale questionnaires completed by both teachers and students, while effectiveness was measured using pretest and posttest scores from a broad trial group. The findings indicate that the Koperwuz comic achieved high validation scores from both media (88%) and subject experts (100%), categorizing it as highly valid. Teacher responses yielded a practicality score of 87%, while students rated it at 75%, suggesting the medium is practical for classroom use. Analysis of learning outcomes showed a significant improvement, with average pretest and posttest scores rising from 60.8 to 90.1. The calculated N-Gain score was 0.7639, classified as high, and the N-Gain percentage reached 76.39%, indicating the medium’s effectiveness. These results support the conclusion that the NoS-based Koperwuz comic is a viable tool for improving science learning outcomes among fourth-grade students.
