Abstract

The quality of public elementary schools in Rembang District, Rembang Regency, varies considerably, with some schools achieving high performance while others continue to face challenges in literacy, numeracy, and character development. This situation underscores the importance of examining the contributions of school supervisors, principals, and school committees to school quality. This study aims to analyze the influence of these three roles on the quality of public elementary schools. A quantitative approach with a survey method was used, involving 188 teachers from 42 schools selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed with simple and multiple regression techniques. Results show that, partially, the roles of school supervisors and principals significantly influence school quality (p = 0.001 and p = 0.004), but with negative regression coefficients, while the school committee’s role is not significant (p = 0.800). Simultaneously, the three roles significantly affect school quality (p = 0.000) with an R² of 8.8%. Strengthening leadership, supervision, and committee involvement is essential for sustainable improvement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of applying the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by snakes and ladders game on improving students' critical thinking skills in Civic Education (Civics) subjects at SDN Inpres Kambilo. Critical thinking skills are one of the important competencies that students must have to face the challenges of the 21st century. However, initial observations show that students' critical thinking skills at SDN Inpres Kambilo still need to be improved. The PBL approach was chosen because it encourages students to actively solve real problems, while the snakes and ladders game was integrated to increase motivation and learning interaction. The research sample consisted of two groups, namely the experimental group taught with the PBL model assisted by snakes and ladders and the control group taught with conventional methods. Data on critical thinking skills were collected through a validated description test and analyzed using t-test. The results of the study before learning using snakes and ladders media, the average score obtained was 60 and after using snakes and ladders media, the average score was 80. Semplel t test results obtained a significance value of 0.000 (p <0.05), it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the application of snakes and ladders media.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of Wordwall media on improving the critical thinking skills of fourth-grade students in Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS) at SDN Inpres Kombo. The background of this study is the low critical thinking ability of students, indicated by difficulties in analyzing problems, formulating solutions, and providing logical reasons. This condition is worsened by the predominantly conventional teaching methods, which results in low student engagement during the learning process. This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 18 students, including 10 females and 8 males, selected through saturated sampling. The instrument used was a 10-item multiple-choice test based on Ennis's critical thinking indicators: basic clarification, decision-making fundamentals, inference, advanced clarification, and strategy/tactics. Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics (paired sample t-test). The results showed a significant increase in the students' average scores from the pretest to the posttest. The t-test significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 indicates that Wordwall media has a significant effect on improving students' critical thinking skills and can be an effective, interactive, and enjoyable learning innovation in elementary schools.

Abstract

The latest results from PISA 2022 and the National Assessment show that Indonesian primary school students’ numeracy proficiency remains weak, with most exhibiting low learning motivation and lacking media to support interactive learning. This study examined the role of the Battle Math educational game in improving learning motivation and numeracy skills of fourth-grade students at SDN 71 Wenggo, Bima City. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was applied, involving eight students over four game-based learning sessions. Data were collected using a numeracy test and a motivation questionnaire based on the ARCS model. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test revealed that the mean motivation score increased significantly from 41.13 to 88.00 (p = 0.012) after the intervention. The Battle Math educational game appears to bridge the gap between what students are expected to learn and what they can meaningfully apply. Integrating such game-based media is recommended as a pragmatic and scalable approach to improving early mathematics learning, particularly in under-resourced elementary schools.

Abstract

The phenomenon of Vocational High Students struggling with English reading comprehension, especially in news item text is considerably urgent, the level of English literacy among students’ is quite alarming. Many students could not understand what they read. The purpose of this research is to investigate the efficacy of the DRTA (Directed Reading Thinking Activity) strategy in engaging and improving vocational students’ comprehension and participation regarding news item texts. This research conducted in Qualitative research with a classroom action research (CAR) design. The data are collected from teacher’s reflective journals, students’ interviews, and class documents. The findings indicate that the application of the DRTA method enables students to engage through the cycles of prediction, verification, and reflection, evolve from passive to active readers. This method also improves students' cognitive, affective, and social engagement. The integration of DRTA with a genre-based approach (TLC-DG) further enhances students’ comprehension of the social structure and functions of texts. This evidence suggests the need to adopt DRTA as a pivotal approach to critical literacy in 21st century vocational education.

Abstract

Representations in chemistry are essential for supporting students' understanding of abstract concepts such as redox reactions and voltaic cells. However, many students experience difficulties due to the lack of integration among macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic levels of representation in textbooks. This study aimed to evaluate the quality and integration of visual representations related to voltaic cells in general chemistry textbooks widely used in Indonesian undergraduate programs. A descriptive qualitative content analysis approach was employed using an evaluation rubric developed by Gkitzia, which includes five criteria: type of representation, interpretation of surface features, relatedness to text, existence and clarity of captions, and the degree of correlation between components in multiple representations. Data were collected from five textbooks selected through purposive sampling and analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that while most textbooks present macroscopic and symbolic representations adequately, submicroscopic levels are often lacking or fragmented. Common issues identified include insufficient labeling, missing or problematic captions, and weak text-image integration. Only a few textbooks provide well-developed hybrid representations. The study concludes that visual representations in textbooks still need significant improvement to support conceptual understanding. These findings provide insights for chemistry educators and textbook developers to design more pedagogically effective materials.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) learning model on the basic literacy skills of fourth-grade students at SDN Inpres Lesu. The research employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 10 students. Data were collected through literacy tests, observations, and documentation. The pretest results showed an average score of 53.9, which increased to 77.9 in the posttest. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test indicated that the data were normally distributed (p > 0.05), allowing for further analysis using a paired sample t-test. The test results yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference before and after the treatment. The implementation of CIRC proved effective in enhancing students’ reading, comprehension, and written expression skills through collaborative group work. These findings suggest that interactive and cooperative learning strategies such as CIRC are highly applicable in Indonesian language instruction at the elementary school level to strengthen students’ literacy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of a game-based learning model on the reading literacy skills of fourth-grade students at SDN 24 Rabangodu Utara, Bima City. The research was motivated by the low reading literacy levels of students, as indicated by poor text comprehension, slow reading speed, and limited vocabulary mastery. A pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The subjects were 18 students who took reading literacy tests before and after the implementation of a snakes and ladders game-based learning medium. Data were collected through tests, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in reading literacy scores, from an average of 63.56 in the pretest to 81.33 in the posttest (p < 0.05). Game-based learning proved effective in enhancing students’ participation, motivation, and reading comprehension. This strategy is recommended as an alternative for literacy learning in primary schools and can be developed for other literacy aspects through digital media integration.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the education sector has increased the demand for adaptive and technology-based teaching materials, one of which is the development of interactive e-modules. This study aims to analyze the needs of students and teachers regarding the development of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) e-module on the digestive system material to improve students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method using a survey distributed to 72 eleventh-grade science students and 13 biology teachers in Sukoharjo Regency. The questionnaire covered aspects of technology usage, material comprehension, preferences for e-module features, and experiences with the PBL model. Results show that 56.9% of students reported learning difficulties, and only 41.67% achieved the minimum passing grade for the digestive system topic. Both students and teachers indicated high readiness and strong interest in using PBL-based e-modules. Teachers emphasized the importance of including features such as case studies, interactive videos, structured learning content, and problem-solving exercises. Therefore, the development of a PBL-based e-module is highly relevant to support a more interactive and effective biology learning experience and to foster 21st-century skills among students.
