Abstract

Interest in reading is essential for developing students' literacy, creativity, and knowledge. Despite efforts to promote reading in Indonesia, interest remains low. Teachers' strategies play a crucial role in fostering reading interest. This study explores strategies used by teachers to boost reading interest among grade 3 students at SDN Penjaringan 06 Pagi through literacy activities. It aims to describe these strategies, identify influencing factors, and evaluate their effectiveness. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, research was conducted from January 2023 to May 2024. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data validity was ensured through continuous observation, source triangulation, and method triangulation. Three teacher strategies were identified: (1) Direct Learning teachers guide students in listening and responding to reading; (2) Indirect Learning teachers act as facilitators and create a supportive environment; (3) Independent Learning students complete reading-related tasks at home or during school literacy time. Supporting factors include sufficient facilities and teacher preparation. Inhibiting factors involve intellectual, psychological, and environmental challenges, as well as students’ general disinterest in reading.

Abstract

Techno-stress and teacher effectiveness in private secondary schools in Lagos State's Education District V were the main topics of this research. Four hypotheses were developed in order to provide a more comprehensive perspective of the study project. Simple random sample and a survey descriptive research design were used in the approach. The research included 348 private school teachers in Education District V, Lagos State, Nigeria. A total of 348 questionnaires were administered in the field; of these, 294 were deemed suitable for data analysis. The sample size for this investigation was obtained through stratified and purposive random sampling technique. The Techno-Stress Questionnaire (TSQ) and Teachers Effectiveness Questionnaire (TEQ) were the study tools used. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The findings obtained from the test of the four hypotheses show that techno-insecurity, techno-complexity, techno-overload and techno-uncertainty have negatively weak and significant relationship with teachers' effectiveness. It was concluded that that Techno-stress creators reduced teachers' effectiveness in private secondary schools in Education District V, Lagos State, therefore, there is a need to allay the fear of using technology among teachers. Therefore, the study recommends that teachers should undergo regular training with the use of technology to enable them to achieve results in less time.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the learning model of religious and moral education in early childhood through the example of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach at TPA/KB/RA Al-Muna, an Islamic-based early childhood education institution. The research subjects included children aged 4–6 years, with data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively-qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the strengthening of religious and moral education is carried out through internalization of the exemplary values of the Prophet Muhammad SAW in various learning activities, including storytelling, the use of visual media, and role-playing that depicts the morals of the Prophet. These findings confirm that the model of strengthening religious and moral education through the example of the Prophet at TPA/KB/RA Al-Muna applies an integrative exemplary method. Exemplary behavior is combined with other aspects, namely patience and perseverance, and also diverse learning resources. Therefore, this strategy is recommended to be implemented systematically in the Islamic-based early childhood education curriculum.

Abstract

Evaluation is a systematic process of collecting and analyzing information to assess the quality of a program or product. This study aims to evaluate the quality of multiple-choice questions on the Japanese Occupation and Indonesian Independence topic through analysis of difficulty level and discriminating power. The main problem in this study was the lack of an evaluation instrument capable of accurately measuring learning outcomes and proportionally differentiating student abilities. The method used was quantitative, with sample answer sheets of 11th-grade students who completed 20 multiple-choice questions and 5 essay questions. Difficulty level analysis was conducted to determine the extent to which students could answer the questions, while discriminatory power was used to assess the ability of the questions to differentiate between high-ability and low-ability students. The results showed that 90% of the multiple-choice questions were classified as easy, while the essay questions had a more even distribution of difficulty levels. In terms of discriminatory power, some questions showed a fair to good category, but some had low or even negative discrimination power. These findings emphasize the need for revision of several questions to improve the validity and effectiveness of the instrument. Periodic evaluation of question quality is crucial to ensure assessments that support the quality of history learning.

Abstract

The study investigates how the Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) strategy could be used  to facilitate the development of students’ critical reading skills in the context of narrative texts and explores students’ responses to its implementation in small group discussions. The research was motivated by the need for more structured and student-centered strategies to enhance reading comprehension in senior high school settings. Employing a qualitative Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, the study was conducted in an 11th-grade class at a private senior high school in Karawang, Indonesia. Data were gathered through classroom observations and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), then analyzed by using thematic analysis. The findings show that the teacher played a pivotal role in introducing QAR categories and guiding students in applying them through collaborative learning. The students demonstrated increased confidence, deeper comprehension, and greater motivation to engage with texts critically. The study concludes that QAR is an effective strategy to promote critical reading skills, support active student participation, and foster reflective classroom discussions. These results suggest that integrating structured questioning strategies such as the QAR into reading instruction can enhance both cognitive and affective dimensions of learning, especially when supported by consistent teacher facilitation and peer collaboration.

Abstract

Child motor development plays a critical role in supporting overall developmental aspects. Physical movement limitations can significantly diminish self-confidence and foster a negative self-concept in early childhood. This study investigates the impact of the traditional hide-and-seek game on gross motor development at TK Negeri Perjuangan Tanjung Angin Nupabomba. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research observed three specific indicators: running strength, running speed, and agility. The findings demonstrate that the traditional hide-and-seek game positively influences gross motor skills. Pre-intervention data revealed low proficiency: for running strength, 0% reached Developed Extremely Well (BSB), 25% Developed as Expected (BSH), 50% Starting to Develop (MB), and 25% Undeveloped (BB). Similar trends were observed in speed (25% BSH, 50% MB, 25% BB) and agility (12.5% BSH, 50% MB, 37.5% BB). Following the intervention, significant improvements were recorded. Running strength improved to 25% BSB and 0% BB; speed reached 12.5% BSB and 62.5% BSH; and agility increased to 12.5% BSB and 50% BSH, with 0% remaining in the BB category across all aspects. This study concludes that hide-and-seek is an effective method to enhance physical strength, speed, and agility, making it a recommended instructional strategy for early childhood physical education.
