Abstract

With the presence of technology, teachers must be able to balance and utilize technology in the learning process. One implementation of technology is the development of learning media. However, there is still a lot of learning in elementary schools that does not fully use technology-based media. All subjects, especially science subjects, require the use of media. This is because material science still contains abstract objects that are difficult to define. The aim of this research is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of media on food chain materials in improving the concept mastery of fifth grade elementary school students. The R&D (Research and Development) method was used in this research, with the ADDIE development model which consists of five stages, namely: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research was carried out at one of the elementary schools in Rancaekek District, Bandung Regency, West Java, with research subjects involving material expert validators, media experts, teachers and 26 class V students. Data collection techniques in this research were interviews, observations, questionnaires and tests in the form of questions. tests given to students. This research resulted in a product in the form of an Android-based media application which was carried out a feasibility test by giving a questionnaire to validators and received a very feasible category. Then pretest and posttest results by design one group pretest-posttest, got significant results that show there is a difference in the results pretest and posttest, this means that student learning outcomes have increased. So it can be concluded that the product developed by researchers is very suitable for use as a learning medium and is able to improve students' mastery of concepts.

Abstract

Reading may have been taught in the early grades, however it is not an easy task for students with special needs, especially those with slow learning problems. If slow learners have not fully mastered word recognition skills, which is a prerequisite for reading comprehension phase, they will fall behind and need constant help for their studies. Hence, this research aims to improve slow learners' word recognition skills using a global method. This research was held from October to November 2023, with the research subjects being slow learners at third class in elementary school. Classroom Action Research (PTK) with a Two-cycle Kemmis & McTaggart model was used as the method, which consists of three stages: planning, action + observation, and reflection. Results show that throughout the process, the slow learner students' word recognition skill increased slowly, gaining an average score of 45.66% to 83.55% when cycle II was implemented with the score of 75% as a minimum standard of success. The results concluded that the global method is suitable for students who are not yet fluent in reading and want to learn simple sentences and words because it teaches students to understand how sentences and words are formed so they do not only memorize them.

The results of this study show that 1) the form of student collaboration skills are through contributing to completing group assignments, help each other when having difficulties, appreciating the work of their friend in the group, and exchanging ideas and opinions, and 2) the form of student communication skills are being able to present the results of group discussions, being active argue and asking a question, using an appropriate language, respect each other’s opinions, brave and confident when speaking in front of the class. Collaboration in the discussion stage has yet to be visible; the reasons are that the students have yet to conclude the different opinions or answers even though the essence is the same, one person still dominates the discussion, and some students need to work on pre-learning questions. This research implied that Indonesian Language learning need to be designed to actively involved students to develop collaboration and communication skills by integrating innovative learning model such as RADEC.

Abstract

Character education is the most important factor in shaping good character, especially in primary schools, which can include character values, manners, attitudes, and morals so that students can distinguish good and bad behaviour. Formal education is currently only focused on developing cognitive aspects so the affective aspects of students have not been applied thoroughly in schools. This study aims to analyse the challenges of implementing character education in primary schools. The method used was a systematic literature review (SLR), collecting articles related to problems and solutions in character education in primary schools. Data collected from as many as 181 articles and filtered and obtained into 10 articles through sinta accredited journals. Articles in this study were traced through the Google Scholar database from 2018-2023. Based on the research some students still have problems with poor character such as dishonesty during tests, not being disciplined to follow the rules at school, and not being independent in doing assignments. The implementation of character education must be instilled since elementary school and done well through the example of a teacher and routinely carried out by the school so that students can get used to actions that will become commendable characters that will have an effect in the future. Character cultivation can also be carried out by teachers by slipping character values through the integration of subjects to be taught.

Abstract

Reading interest is one of the fundamental skills in language and is a highly effective learning activity for acquiring knowledge and literacy. Reading literacy is an essential skill, particularly for prospective educators; however, many students experience challenges in cultivating a reading habit. This research aims to: (1) describe the reading interest conditions of prospective teacher students at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), (2) elucidate the supporting and inhibiting factors for prospective teacher students (PTS) at UPI in their reading activities. This study employs a quantitative approach with a survey design. The research subjects are UPI PGSD (Elementary School Teacher Education) students. Data collection methods include questionnaires, surveys, and interviews. Data analysis involves descriptive analysis, frequency distribution, and percentage calculation. The findings reveal that: (1) the overall reading interest of PTS is categorized as low, (2) students' activities on campus before class hours mainly involve waiting and chatting with friends; only a small portion of students utilize their free time to read books or visit the library. (3) PTS' preferred books are novels and fiction, while scientific texts are less favored due to unappealing design and layout, (4) the time spent on reading books by PTS is relatively short, with less than 1 hour daily, and some do not allocate any time for reading, except when there are assignments or exams, (5) the major inhibiting factors for PTS in reading are internal, indicated by low reading habits or preferences for other interests over reading.
