Abstract

General Background: Renewable energy is increasingly vital for sustainable development, with wind energy offering significant potential in urban settings where land availability is limited. Specific Background: Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs), particularly Savonius types, are promising for rooftop applications but remain underexplored compared to horizontal axis turbines. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies have systematically examined how variations in blade number affect VAWT performance under low wind speed conditions typical of urban environments. Aim: This study investigates the performance of Savonius VAWTs with 3, 4, and 6 blades to determine the optimal configuration for efficient energy generation on building roofs. Results: Experimental testing over 24 hours at an average wind speed of 2 m/s revealed that the 3-blade turbine achieved the best performance, with a tip speed ratio (0.94), coefficient of power (0.242), and voltage output (14.41 V), outperforming the 4-blade and 6-blade designs. Novelty: This work demonstrates that reducing blade count can enhance efficiency in low-speed, rooftop urban wind applications, challenging the assumption that more blades inherently improve performance. Implications: The findings provide insights for optimizing small-scale renewable energy systems in urban areas, contributing to sustainable energy strategies and supporting national renewable energy targets. Highlights: Three-blade Savonius turbine shows highest efficiency at low wind speeds. Blade number directly affects TSR, CP, and voltage output. Rooftop VAWT offers practical solution for small-scale urban energy. Keywords: Wind, Wind Turbine, Tip Speed Ratio, Energy, Green Energy

Abstract

General background: Mathematics is a core subject in elementary schools, yet students often face challenges mastering basic arithmetic operations. Specific background: In Muara Bungo, many fifth-grade students struggle to grasp multiplication concepts, including word problems, operation selection, and decimal placement. Knowledge gap: Few studies have analyzed multiplication difficulties within this local socio-cultural and educational context. Aims: This study aims to identify the types of multiplication-related difficulties, explore their causes, and provide context-specific recommendations. Results: Findings reveal four main difficulties: misinterpretation of problems, incorrect operation selection, errors in decimal placement, and reliance on memorization over understanding. Internal causes include low motivation and self-confidence, while external causes include fast-paced teaching, limited use of concrete media, and minimal parental support. Novelty: This study highlights psychological and contextual factors as the dominant contributors to multiplication difficulties in Muara Bungo’s schools, offering a locally relevant perspective. Implications: The results suggest that teachers should use varied strategies, concrete-to-abstract approaches, and supportive classroom environments, while parents should encourage consistent home practice. Highlights: Many students misunderstand multiplication word problems and rely on memorization. Psychological factors such as fear and low confidence strongly affect learning outcomes. Contextualized, concrete-to-abstract teaching strategies are crucial for conceptual mastery.

Abstract

General Background: Literacy skills are crucial for primary education as they support student comprehension across subjects. Specific Background: However, the reading ability of Indonesian students remains below international averages, highlighting the need for effective instructional strategies. Knowledge Gap: Prior studies often focus on a single cooperative model without comparing their influence on reading motivation. Aims: This study compares the Think Pair Share (TPS) and Team Games Tournament (TGT) models in fostering reading interest among grade V students in Makassar. Results: Using a quasi-experimental design with 70 students, results showed a significant increase in reading interest in both groups, with TPS achieving a higher mean post-test score (82.57) than TGT (72.29). Novelty: The research simultaneously examines two cooperative learning models, emphasizing reading interest rather than only cognitive outcomes. Implications: TPS is recommended for deep comprehension and sustained reading motivation, while TGT is more suitable for creating a competitive and engaging classroom climate. Teachers may combine both approaches to balance comprehension and motivation. Highlight TPS produces higher reading interest gains than TGT. TGT is effective for engagement through competition. Combining TPS and TGT optimizes motivation and comprehension. Keyword Cooperative Learning, Think Pair Share, Team Games Tournament, Reading Interest, Elementary Education

Abstract

General background: Inclusive education requires teachers to provide equitable learning opportunities for all children, including those with special needs. Specific background: In many early childhood settings, teachers lack formal training to differentiate instruction and manage diverse classrooms effectively. Knowledge gap: Research on structured and collaborative instructional supervision in resource-limited kindergartens is limited. Aim: This study aimed to develop and test a school action research–based model of instructional supervision to strengthen teacher practice in inclusive classrooms. Results: Four teachers participated in two cycles of structured supervision combining observation, feedback, and individual coaching. Teacher performance scores improved from a pre-intervention mean of 2.5 (50%) to 3.6 (72%) in Cycle I and 4.25 (85%) in Cycle II, surpassing the success criterion of ≥4.0. The most significant progress occurred in differentiated lesson planning, behavior management, reflection, and responsiveness to feedback. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence that a simple yet systematic supervision model, supported by coaching and reflective forums, can produce measurable improvement in inclusive early childhood settings without requiring high-cost interventions. Implications: The findings suggest that this model can be scaled and adapted by policymakers and school leaders to strengthen professional development programs for inclusive education nationwide. Highlights Teacher performance increased across all domains after structured supervision cycles Differentiated planning, reflection, and behavior management showed the most progress Model provides a scalable approach for inclusive education in resource-limited settings Keywords Instructional Supervision, Inclusive Education, Teacher Performance, School Action Research, Early Childhood Education
