Abstract

This research aims to improve the activity and learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SDN 23 Tanjung Gadang in mathematics through the implementation of the Team Quiz strategy supported by Kahoot. The study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method with the Kemmis and Taggart model, conducted in two cycles of two meetings each. The subjects consisted of 17 students. Instruments included observation sheets of student activity, learning achievement tests, and documentation. In the pre-cycle stage, the average student achievement was only 63%, with five students reaching mastery. After the action in Cycle I, improvements appeared: the average score increased to 65% in the first meeting and 75% in the second, with nine and eleven students achieving mastery. More significant progress occurred in Cycle II, where the average scores rose to 79% in the first meeting and 85% in the second, with sixteen students meeting mastery. Observation results showed that initially passive behaviors changed into active and enthusiastic participation in discussions, questioning, and Kahoot-based quizzes. The classroom atmosphere became more lively, competitive, and enjoyable. The study concludes that the Team Quiz strategy using Kahoot effectively enhances motivation, cooperation, and mathematics learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study addresses the low learning interest and limited creative thinking skills of fifth-grade students in science classes at Gugus VI, Sutera Subdistrict. These issues are associated with the lack of varied learning media, minimal student participation, and the dominance of teacher-centered instruction. The research aimed to determine the effect of the Guided Discovery Learning model supported by concrete media on students’ learning interest and creative thinking abilities. A quasi-experimental design was used, specifically the posttest-only control group design. The population consisted of all fifth-grade students in Gugus VI, with SDN 25 Amping Parak as the experimental group and SDN 29 Teratak Panas as the control group. Data were collected through a learning interest questionnaire and a creative thinking test containing statements and essay questions. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test in SPSS 27. The results showed a significant difference between students taught using Guided Discovery Learning with concrete media and those taught conventionally. The significance values of the questionnaire (0.001 < 0.05) and the test (0.000 < 0.05) indicated that the model effectively increased learning interest and creative thinking skills.

Abstract

Along with the rapid development of globalization, the integration of regional cultural values in education has become increasingly important, particularly in strengthening the character of students from an early age. This study aims to describe the implementation of local wisdom-based cultural arts learning in building the character of fifth-grade students at SD Inpres Bumi Sagu. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through interviews, document analysis, and observation. The subjects included the principal, homeroom teachers, dance teachers, and students as the primary participants. The findings reveal that local wisdom-based cultural arts learning at SD Inpres Bumi Sagu has been carried out effectively, although it remains an extracurricular activity and has not yet been fully integrated into the Merdeka Curriculum syllabus. The school successfully adopted the Torata Dance, a traditional welcoming dance from Central Sulawesi, as the main learning medium. The process was structured through initial orientation, dance practice, and closing activities that emphasized the philosophical and religious values of the local culture. Strong support from both the school and parents contributed to the success of the program. Students showed high enthusiasm, demonstrated the dance well, and understood its cultural meaning and origins. Moreover, this learning approach not only improved artistic skills but also fostered positive character traits such as hard work, creativity, responsibility, and religiosity.

Abstract

The research is motivated by the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and the challenges of implementation in disadvantaged areas, which create a gap in students' motivation and interest in learning. The purpose of the study was to analyze the influence of AI-based learning models on increasing students' motivation and learning interest at SMA Negeri 2 Tabang, Kutai Kartanegara. The study used a qualitative approach of a case study with thirty student subjects. Data were collected through observation (10 indicators of interest and ten indicators of motivation), interviews, and documentation. Research shows that AI-based models significantly and simultaneously improve both aspects, which is evident from 9 out of ten indicators of interest and all ten indicators of motivation seen. This improvement is fueled by the personalization of exploration and instant feedback from AI, which creates a collaborative and student-centered learning environment. Research proves that despite infrastructure constraints, managed AI integration can transform the dynamics of learning in disadvantaged areas. It is recommended that schools develop guidelines for the use of AI and conduct prompt drafting training for teachers.

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic literature review examining the effectiveness of various reading strategies tailored for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students with limited proficiency in Indonesian senior high schools. Despite reading being a foundational skill in EFL contexts, numerous national assessments continue to reveal widespread difficulties in reading comprehension among these learners. The review aims to identify practical, research-supported approaches that enhance reading engagement and achievement. Utilizing the PRISMA framework, a total of peer-reviewed articles published from 2014 to 2024 were analyzed, sourced from Scopus, ERIC, and Google Scholar. The quality of each article was assessed using a simplified CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme) framework to ensure methodological rigor and relevance. The review identifies five primary strategies: repeated reading, reciprocal teaching, partner reading, the use of graphic organizers, and digital-based reading tools. These approaches were found to contribute significantly to learner comprehension, motivation, and confidence, particularly in low-proficiency EFL classroom settings.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low mathematics learning outcomes of elementary school students in Lubuk Basung District, where most students scored below the minimum mastery criterion. In addition, students showed a lack of independent learning habits, relying heavily on teacher guidance. To address these issues, this research aimed to develop an electronic student worksheet (E-LKPD) using Liveworksheet, designed to foster student independence and improve mathematics achievement. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Participants included fourth-grade students from several elementary schools in Lubuk Basung District. Data were collected through observations, interviews, expert validations, student response questionnaires, and achievement tests, and were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results indicated that the developed E-LKPD was highly valid (95–96%), practical with positive student responses (87–89%), and effective in improving outcomes. The experimental class achieved an average score of 83.04, higher than the control class average of 75.87, with the t-test confirming a significant difference. In conclusion, the Liveworksheet-based E-LKPD not only enhanced students’ mathematics achievement but also cultivated independent learning, making it a valuable tool for classroom practice.
