Abstract

Using VOSviewer software, this study aims to determine research trends by conducting bibliometric analysis mapping of articles obtained from Google Scholar on the topic of character education and interactive learning multimedia in elementary schools. The keywords "character education," "interactive learning multimedia," and "elementary school" were used to gather article data using the Publish or Perish manager tool. There were 992 articles from 2012 to 2022 in the results. Multimedia interactive learning and network visualization education are not closely related. The most researched topic is interactive multimedia learning with learning motivation. In the meantime, it is difficult to understand how interactive multimedia, elementary school, and character education are related to network visualization. These findings suggest that there is still a dearth of studies on the relationship between multimedia interactive learning and character education in primary schools. This finding indicates that there is a great chance to undertake this research in the future, which will lead to innovative findings.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the beliefs of fifth-grade elementary school teachers and students regarding mathematical problem solving, as well as their approaches to teaching and learning problem-solving activities. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, focusing on the alignment between teachers’ and students’ perceptions of problem solving within an authentic classroom context.The participants consisted of three teachers from different elementary schools in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan, and six students identified by the teachers three categorized as successful and three as less successful in solving mathematical problems. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation, using an interview guide developed to explore teachers’ beliefs and students’ problem-solving strategies. The validity of data was ensured through source triangulation and member checking. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s (1992) interactive model, which includes stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed three main points: (1) teachers generally associated students’ problem-solving success with innate ability, while students attributed success to effort and persistence; (2) both teachers and students shared a narrow understanding of problem solving, viewing it mainly as procedural computation rather than reasoning or exploration; and (3) teachers assessed students’ success primarily based on accuracy in calculation, resulting in classroom practices that emphasized procedures over conceptual understanding.In conclusion, the study highlights the need to strengthen teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and promote reasoning-oriented instruction in mathematics classrooms. However, the limited number of participants restricts the generalizability of the findings. Future studies with larger samples and classroom observations are recommended to validate and expand these results.

Abstract

The diverse levels of reading comprehension skills often become an obstacle in the learning process at the elementary school level. Learning cannot be standardized but must accommodate student diversity, in line with the Merdeka Belajar concept in the Merdeka Curriculum. In this curriculum, differentiated instruction is promoted as an effective solution to address such challenges. This study aims to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of leveled narrative texts in differentiated instruction based on learning readiness. The research was conducted with 27 fourth-grade students at a public elementary school in Majalengka Regency, West Java, employing a Design and Development (D&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Differentiation was applied to the learning content by developing leveled narrative texts for low, medium, and high groups, determined through a diagnostic test of narrative text comprehension. Expert validation confirmed that the developed teaching materials were feasible to use. The implementation results showed that 93% of students achieved the learning objectives, with an average score of 81.3 in the final evaluation. These findings highlight that leveled narrative texts integrated into differentiated instruction are effective in supporting students’ reading comprehension skills and can serve as a strategic alternative for literacy learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

Student creativity in Indonesia remains a serious problem that requires special attention, with the 2022 PISA survey identifying only 5% of students achieving high creativity. Science learning is also still limited in integrating technology to develop creativity, even though this ability is a very important competency in the digital era. This study aims to develop Game-based Learning (GBL) with Generative AI (Gen AI) to improve the creativity of 5th grade elementary school students. The research method uses Research and Development (RnD) with the ADDIE model including five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects of this study were 20 5th grade students of SDN Kutakembaran 1. GBL was developed with the ChatGPT-3.5 API to produce adaptive learning content. ChatGPT-3.5 works by analyzing student responses, automatically generating game scenarios, questions, and challenges tailored to the individual student's ability level. This development is enriched with West Javanese cultural elements such as folklore, traditions, and local contexts to increase the relevance of learning. The research instruments include expert validation (n=5), a creativity rubric that measures four indicators (fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration) through problem-solving tasks, and observation of student engagement using a Likert scale that records active participation. The expert validation results showed a feasibility score of 77.50 (good category) with an Aiken's V coefficient of 0.813 (p<0.001). Implementation resulted in a significant increase in the creativity dimensions: fluency (23%, p<0.05), flexibility (31%, p<0.01), originality (28%, p<0.05), and elaboration (19%, p<0.05). Student engagement reached an average of 78.60 with 80% positive responses, while technology acceptability reached 83.45%. The culture-based GBL-GenAI media has proven effective in developing student creativity and making a significant contribution to innovation in science learning for the transformation of Indonesian basic education.
