Abstract

This study aims to analyze the need for developing learning media in the form of acoustic music-based songs to support language acquisition in children aged 5–6 years in kindergarten. Language and music are essential components of early childhood development, as songs serve not only as entertainment but also as tools for stimulating cognitive, emotional, and linguistic growth. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through interviews and observations with teachers and students at Pembina 5 State Kindergarten in Palembang and several other kindergartens, the study found that songs are frequently used in learning activities and are considered effective in improving children’s language, cognitive, and motor skills. The children showed great enthusiasm for singing, particularly when accompanied by acoustic instruments such as guitars and ukuleles, which created a more interactive and enjoyable learning atmosphere. Teachers also highlighted the need for new acoustic songs designed to match the vocal characteristics and thematic learning needs of young children. These findings suggest that developing acoustic music-based songs is important as an innovative learning medium that can enhance children’s language literacy, foster creativity, and increase active participation in the classroom. Overall, acoustic music offers a more authentic and engaging approach to early language learning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of literacy activities in the Equality Package A Program at SPNF SKB Negeri 2 Samarinda with a focus on the implementation of activities, the role and strategy of tutors, the obstacles faced, as well as support institutions and families in improving students' literacy skills. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that the implementation of literacy at SPNF SKB Negeri 2 Samarinda is carried out through the provision of reading books, tutor training, and a plan to develop a Community Reading Park (TBM). Tutors play an important role as facilitators, motivators, and innovators by implementing creative strategies, such as storytelling, the use of image media, collaborative learning, and the use of digital games. The main obstacles that arise include limited reading facilities, heterogeneity of students' reading ability, fluctuations in learning motivation, and lack of support from family. In overcoming these obstacles, institutions prepare institutional strategies, tutors present a variety of learning methods, while parents provide assistance and motivation at home. This research emphasizes that the success of literacy in non-formal education is the result of synergy between institutions, tutors, students, and families. In addition, this research contributes to novelty by examining the implementation of literacy comprehensively through a multi-actor approach that has rarely been studied before, so that it can be a reference for the development of literacy programs in non-formal education pathways.

Abstract

English writing, especially recount text writing, is a challenging skill for secondary school students in Indonesia due to difficulties in organizing ideas, grammar, and motivation. Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered approach that encourages active engagement through meaningful, collaborative projects. This qualitative case study investigated how PBL was implemented in teaching recount text writing and the challenges faced by the teacher. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with an English teacher applying Stoller’s ten-step PBL framework. The findings showed that the teacher successfully implemented most PBL stages, including theme selection, project structuring, information gathering, drafting, revising, presenting, and evaluation. Adaptations were made to address students’ limited grammar skills, vocabulary, and resource constraints. Challenges included students’ difficulties with self-assessment and inconsistent motivation. The study highlights the importance of balancing student autonomy with structured linguistic support and flexible resource use. These findings provide practical insights for teachers and curriculum developers aiming to improve writing instruction and student engagement in resource-limited EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Early childhood is known as the golden age, during which moral, social, and emotional aspects grow rapidly; therefore, appropriate and engaging learning methods are required. Singing was chosen as a learning approach that combines joy and meaningful spiritual learning for children. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of religious values through singing activities and to analyze the improvement in children’s religious behavior after participation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method involving 15 children aged 5–6 years (8 boys and 7 girls) at TK Raudhathul Athfal Soulowe, Sigi Regency. Data were collected through observation and documentation. The learning process was carried out in an enjoyable classroom atmosphere using religious-themed songs such as gerakan berwudhu, gerakan sholat, and berdoa sebelum dan sesudah berkegiatan. These songs were accompanied by simple movements to help children understand and internalize the meanings. The results showed a significant improvement in children’s religious behavior, particularly in performing ablution, prayer movements, and daily prayers. By the fourth week, 33.33% of the children reached the “Very Well Developed” category and 60% were “Developing as Expected.” Overall, singing proved to be an effective and enjoyable method for instilling religious values in early childhood education.

Abstract

Creative thinking is recognized as a vital skill in 21st-century education, especially in chemistry, where abstract and complex concepts often present learning challenges. This research investigates the impact of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-supported ethnochemistry Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on students’ understanding of macromolecule content. A quasi-experimental method was applied using a pretest-posttest control group design. The study involved 70 twelfth-grade students from SMA N 2 Sleman, selected through purposive sampling. Participants were divided into two groups: the experimental group experienced the AI-integrated ethnochemistry PjBL model, while the control group followed the standard ethnochemistry-based PjBL approach. Data on students' creative thinking were gathered through essay-based assessments administered before and after the intervention. Findings revealed that the experimental group achieved an average N-Gain of 0.44 (moderate level), outperforming the control group’s 0.32. A t-test analysis indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.005 < 0.05). These results suggest that integrating AI into an ethnochemistry PjBL model has a notable positive effect on enhancing students' creative thinking skills in learning macromolecules.
