Abstract

This research was motivated by the need for educational innovation under the Merdeka Curriculum to boost 21st-century skills, especially creativity, in Indonesian human resources. Initial observations at UPTD SD Negeri 1 Weru Lor showed that a conventional 5th grade IPAS (Science and Social Studies) teaching method resulted in only 15% of students demonstrating creativity, demanding a change in approach. The study aimed to implement, assess the results of, and analyze the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving the creativity of 5 th grade students. The methodology used was Kemmis and McTaggart’s Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted over two cycles, involving planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data was collected via teacher and student activity observations, learning outcome tests, and documentation. The results showed a significant improvement. In Cycle I, average student creativity was 55.58% (Moderately Creative), with only 20.68% learning mastery. Following improvements in Cycle II, student creativity soared to 95.79% (Very Creative), and learning outcome mastery reached 96.55%. Teacher performance also increased from 95.23% to100%. The study concludes that the application of the PjBL model is significantly effective in increasing both creativity and learning outcomes for 5th grade IPAS students at UPTD SD Negeri 1 Weru Lor.

Abstract

Many Indonesian pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) adopt bilingual policies requiring daily English communication, yet limited teacher proficiency often hinders their effective implementation. This study investigates the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) SpeechAce to enhance teachers’ speaking skills for daily communication in a pesantren in Lhokseumawe, Aceh, Indonesia. Using a mixed-method explanatory sequential design, 29 teachers participated in a one-month intervention consisting of AI-based practice and training, pre- and post-tests, reflective logbook, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative results revealed consistent improvement across pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and grammar, with vocabulary and grammar showing the greatest gains. Qualitative findings highlighted teachers’ positive perceptions of AI in promoting self-regulated learning and as an anxiety-reducing tool for speaking practice, despite challenges such as technical issues and the need for a longer and a more structured guidance from a human-teacher. While AI SpeechAce effectively enhanced teachers’ speaking confidence through safe, feedback-driven practice relevant to their daily communication, its limitations shaped by linguistic gaps and technical challenges, underscore the need for future blended models and extended interventions to ensure stronger transfer into real-world communicative spoken English skills.

The 21st century is known as the era of science and communication. To face these challenges, quality human resources are needed through education. This study aims to determine the improvement in critical thinking skills and environmental awareness among students after using electronic teaching materials on wetland ecology based on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The research used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 34 students enrolled in the wetland ecology course in the even semester of 2024/2025 participated in the study. The results showed that students' critical thinking skills improved from the pretest to the posttest. The pretest mean score was 70.47, considered good, while the posttest mean score was 84.28, considered very good. Students' cognitive environmental awareness attitudes also improved between the pretest and posttest. The students' cognitive attitude towards environmental awareness in the pretest was 3.34, considered moderately concerned, and increased to 4.3 in the posttest, considered concerned. Thus, the electronic module on wetland ecology based on ESD as teaching material enrichment can be used to improve students' critical thinking and attitude towards environmental awareness.
