Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of two independent variables (1) workload and (2) time management on the dependent variable (3) personality competence of elementary school teachers in Lirik District, Indragiri Hulu Regency. The research employed a quantitative approach with a survey method, using questionnaires randomly distributed to 139 teachers. Descriptive analysis revealed that all three variables, workload, time management, and personality competence were rated at a very high level. This indicates that teachers in the area demonstrate strong professionalism and personal capabilities, even when facing substantial workloads. Based on the results of multiple linear regression analysis, it was found that both variables simultaneously influence teachers’ personality competence by 61,2%, while the remaining 38,8% is affected by other factors not examined in this study. These findings emphasize that effective workload management and strong time management skills are crucial factors in shaping and enhancing teachers’ personality competence. Therefore, institutional support and policies that promote work efficiency and time management skills are essential for improving the quality of education through the strengthening of teacher competence.

Abstract

The Indonesia-Malaysia border area has diverse and beneficial local natural resource potentials, but hasn’t been fully utilized in learning at universities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the utilization of local natural resources in the application of the PjBL model in state universities in the Indonesia-Malaysia border area, more precisely in West Kalimantan, namely IAIN Pontianak. The focus of the study is the utilization of local natural resources as teaching materials and project media, as well as its impact on student involvement in the learning process and learning outcomes. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative methodology, gathering data via in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is the technique from Miles, Huberman and Saldana with data validity through triangulation. The results of the study show that the utilization of local natural resources in PjBL can increase active student involvement, strengthen the relevance of lecture materials to real contexts, encourage the emergence of creative and innovative solutions to local potentials and problems, and foster awareness of environmental conservation among students. However, its implementation is still not optimal due to limited supporting facilities and infrastructure, uneven lecturer competence, and minimal collaboration with the local community and industry.

Abstract

This research analyzes the poetry collection Anjing Gunung by Irma Agryanti using Greg Garrard’s ecocriticism theory. The study focuses on identifying representations of nature, such as pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, animals, and the earth in five selected poems: Jalan ke Gunung, Anjing Gunung, Pemburu, Celeng, and Aku Melihat Hutan dalam Puisi. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the researcher applies data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The analysis reveals 30 instances of nature representation. Pollution is symbolized through metaphors like the well is dead, indicating ecological damage. The wilderness appears through images of tree trunks and young forests, reflecting nature’s strength and vulnerability. The poet also criticizes environmental apocalypse caused by human greed, highlighting its impact on animals and the earth. These findings show a strong ecological message, urging environmental preservation. The study’s results are used to develop an E-module aligned with the independent curriculum for Phase E, aiming to enhance students’ literary appreciation and promote environmental awareness as part of character education.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of Wordwall-based learning media on students' motivation in Social Studies among fourth-grade students at Gugus II Elementary Schools, Biringkanaya District, Makassar City. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically the Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research sample consisted of 41 students, with 20 students in the experimental class receiving instruction via Wordwall-based media, and 21 students in the control class undergoing traditional teaching methods. Students' motivational data were collected using closed questionnaires and analyzed using an Independent Samples T-Test in the JASP statistical software. The results indicated that the use of Wordwall-based learning media significantly increased students' learning motivation, demonstrated by a p-value of less than 0.001. These findings imply that educators should integrate technology-based instructional media to enhance student motivation and engagement in Social Studies learning.

Abstract

This study aims to produce a valid and usable CORE-based E-LKPD on hydrocarbons. This study was conducted at two schools, namely SMAN 6 Pekanbaru and SMAN 7 Pekanbaru. The study was motivated by students' difficulties in learning chemistry, particularly the hydrocarbon material, due to the teaching materials used being monotonous, poorly designed, and failing to utilize the rapidly advancing technology available today. This study includes validation and limited testing. This study used an R&D development research design with a modified 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) into a 3-D model (Define, Design, Develop). The research results based on validation by content validators regarding content suitability, CORE characteristics, language, presentation, and graphics, respectively, achieved suitability scores with an average of 100%, indicating validity. Meanwhile, the validation results by media validators based on the aspects of appearance and software utilization had a feasibility score of 98.43% on average. The results of the responses from chemistry teachers and limited group trials obtained average percentages of 98.75% and 87.49%, respectively, with valid criteria. This shows that the CORE-based E-LKPD on the subject of hydrocarbons is practically used as teaching material in the learning process and students are more interested in learning hydrocarbon material.

Abstract

Student motivation is crucial for effective learning, especially in Social Studies (IPS), where understanding complex social concepts is key. This study examines the impact of the Think Talk and Write (TTW) learning model supported by video media on the learning interest of fourth-grade students at Elementary School D Cluster 2, Bontomarannu District, Gowa Regency. Using a quasi-experimental design, the experimental group received TTW with video assistance, while the control group followed conventional teaching. Learning interest was measured through a validated questionnaire before and after the intervention. Results showed a significant increase in the experimental group’s interest, rising from moderate to high, whereas the control group’s improvement was marginal. The TTW model combined with video media enhanced cognitive and affective engagement by encouraging reflection, discussion, and writing, supported by interactive multimedia. This approach also minimized variability in student motivation, promoting consistent engagement. The findings support the effectiveness of cooperative learning augmented by multimedia in enhancing motivation in primary Social Studies, especially where innovative methods are limited. This study provides empirical evidence encouraging educators to adopt multimodal, learner-centered strategies. Further research should investigate long-term impacts and qualitative student experiences.

Abstract

The rapid development of technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), has opened new opportunities to transform education by enhancing personalization, efficiency, and inclusivity. However, regions such as Banda Aceh still face disparities in digital infrastructure, access, and literacy, which hinder the optimal use of technology in schools. This study aims to analyze the utilization of AI in platform-based learning as a strategy to improve the quality of education in Banda Aceh. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach through interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies conducted in several elementary schools. The findings reveal that AI provides significant benefits, including personalized learning experiences tailored to students’ abilities, automated assessments that deliver efficient and accurate feedback, and inclusive learning environments that support diverse student needs. Nevertheless, challenges remain, such as limited internet access, insufficient technological devices, low digital literacy among teachers and students, and uneven government policies. The study concludes that while AI has great potential to enhance education in Banda Aceh, its success requires strengthening digital infrastructure, continuous professional development for educators, and supportive policies. Collaborative efforts between the government, schools, and technology developers are essential to ensure effective and sustainable implementation.

Abstract

Science education in phase D aims to develop scientific attitudes, one of which is critical thinking skills. To achieve this, it is necessary to implement learning that can foster critical thinking skills and encourage active student participation. This study examines the application of integrated problem-based learning (PBL-POE) and its relationship to students' critical thinking skills. The method used is qualitative case study research. The subjects of this study were four science teachers at a public junior high school in Bandung. Data was collected through interviews. Data analysis was based on an interactive model, including data collection, data condensation, data presentation, data verification, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that problem-based learning and PBL-POE have not been implemented in the school. One of the factors influencing this is teacher competence. Regarding critical thinking skills, each teacher has their own views on the skills that need to be developed by students, but these have not been implemented in PBL-POE learning. The relationship with critical thinking skills has not yet been established because PBL-POE has not yet been implemented, so no correlation or data on this relationship has been found.
