Abstract

Learning that instills the values of tolerance, empathy, and respect for differences from an early age is very important in shaping students' global diversity attitudes. However, the learning process in elementary schools often still focuses on cognitive aspects and does not provide many socially and emotionally meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using picture storybooks integrated with interactive student worksheets in improving the global diversity attitudes of elementary school students. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental group received treatment using picture storybooks integrated with interactive student worksheets, while the control group used PowerPoint media and conventional student worksheets. The results of the analysis showed that the average N-Gain value in the experimental class was 0.73 in the high category, while in the control class it was 0.47 in the medium category. The independent t-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value = 0.000 < 0.05, which means there was a significant difference between the two groups. Thus, the use of picture story books integrated with interactive student worksheets has proven effective in improving students' global diversity attitudes through more reflective, empathetic, and contextual learning experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the Project Citizen model on the critical thinking skills of elementary school students. The main problem in learning Civic Education in elementary schools is the low critical thinking skills of students due to the dominance of conventional approaches that focus on one-way learning. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving two groups: an experimental class that applies the Project Citizen model and a control class that uses conventional learning. The research instrument is a test. The results of the analysis show that the average pre-test score of 50.48 increased to 74.04 in the post-test after the implementation of Project Citizen. The independent t-test showed a significance value of 0.019 <0.05, which means there is a significant influence between the implementation of the Project Citizen model on improving students' critical thinking skills. In addition, the implementation of this model also increases participation and effective communication between students. Thus, Project Citizen is proven to be effective in developing the critical thinking skills of elementary school students, and is relevant to be applied in Pancasila Education learning that emphasizes the formation of democratic and reflective characters.

Abstract

This study presents an analysis of Malay civilization and its pivotal role in history, emphasizing that Islamization occurred through longterm social, economic, and cultural interactions. It aims to explain the strategic role of trade routes between Gujarat and Malacca in spreading Islam across the Malay Archipelago. Using a qualitative library research method, the results show that Gujarat functioned as a major trade center and primary intermediary in the Indian Ocean since the 13th century. Through maritime activities, Muslim traders introduced Islamic teachings to Malacca, which evolved into the archipelago’s main religious center. Beyond economic factors, this process was strengthened by intermarriage, cohesive Muslim communities, and adaptive da'wah. Furthermore, the role of Islamic scholars (ulama) was crucial as they served as religious teachers, political advisors, and intellectual figures who adapted Islamic teachings into local Malay culture. This research underscores that such cultural adaptation laid the groundwork for a moderate form of Islam in the archipelago. Ultimately, these historical dynamics provide vital insights into the resilient and adaptive nature of Islamic civilization in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and describe the forms of Madurese language interference on the pronunciation skills of EFL students at SMP Negeri 1 Randuagung. The study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that Madurese language interference appears predominantly in the phonological aspect, especially in the form of consonant substitution (/v/ to /f/, /ʃ/ to /s/, and /θ/ to /t/), difficulty in distinguishing long and short vowels, omission of final consonants, rigid and monotonous intonation. This pattern of errors indicates phonological transfer from the mother tongue, which affects students' English pronunciation. These findings support the theory of language transfer, which states that the sound system of the first language influences the production of sounds in the second language. Pedagogically, these research results emphasize the importance of phonetic awareness-based pronunciation learning strategies and sound contrast exercises to reduce the influence of the mother tongue and improve students' pronunciation accuracy.

Abstract

This research reconstructs the core principles of John B. Watson’s behaviorism in the context of Indonesia’s educational system during the digital age. Modern education necessitates adaptability to technological advancements, prompting a reevaluation of traditional learning theories. The objective of this study is to investigate the relevance of Watson’s psychological behaviorism in relation to contemporary digital learning and to assess its implementation in current teaching methodologies. Employing a qualitative library research approach, the study references a diverse range of literature, including books, journals, and research papers pertinent to behaviorism and educational technology. The results indicate that behaviorism, which focuses on stimulus–response interactions and reinforcement, continues to be effective for structured and quantifiable learning processes, thereby facilitating adaptive digital instruction. Nevertheless, it also uncovers certain limitations, such as a decrease in student creativity and an overreliance on external motivation. The study concludes that while behaviorism provides systematic and observable learning advantages, it should be combined with constructivist and humanistic theories to more effectively address emotional and cognitive aspects, ultimately improving learning outcomes within Indonesia’s digital education framework.

Abstract

Low learning outcomes in elementary-level social studies courses frequently arises from instructional approaches dominated by teachers, which restrict pupils from independently exploring and internalizing subject concepts. This condition demands the implementation of more innovative learning models to encourage student participation and understanding. This research aims to examine the impact of the inquiry-based instructional approach on the academic results of 6th grade pupils in social studies at SD Inpres 1 Tanamodindi. The investigation included 26 participants from class VI B, selected through purposive sampling, with evidence gathered via assessment tests and documentation. Findings indicated that student mean scores rose from 45.19 prior to intervention to 72.11 after intervention. Statistical analysis using the t-test produced a significance level of 0.000, below the threshold of 0.05, leading to rejection of H0 and confirmation of Ha. Consequently, it can be inferred that the inquiry learning approach significantly influences academic performance in grade six social studies.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the process of internalizing character education values through Civic Education learning in the digital era, focusing on strategies and multidimensional collaboration in the school environment. The background of this research lies in the growing challenges of moral degradation and the decline of students’ social awareness due to excessive digital exposure. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study collected data through interviews, observations, and documentation in a junior high school context. The findings indicate that teachers play a central role in integrating character values by combining digital learning platforms with contextual moral instruction. The use of digital media such as interactive videos, online discussions, and collaborative projects enhances students’ participation and strengthens their understanding of civic and ethical responsibilities. However, the study also found obstacles such as limited digital literacy among teachers and the inconsistent implementation of value-based learning. It is concluded that effective internalization of character education in the digital era requires synergy between teachers, parents, and the educational community supported by strong digital competence and moral guidance.

Abstract

This research empirically examines the philosophical dimensions of Islamic Religious Education (PAI), namely ontology, epistemology, and axiology, to develop an ethical foundation for the presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in elementary schools. This study is urgent due to government policies mandating Coding and AI (KKA) lessons and the limited philosophical PAI studies on AI. The study employs an interpretive phenomenological qualitative approach at Az-Zahrah Islamic Elementary School in Palembang, which adheres to Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah (specifically Ḥifẓ al-Dīn and Ḥifẓ al-‘Aql). Data were collected through interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis. The main findings are structured by dimension: 1) Ontologically, PAI positions AI as an inanimate tool (a non-divine creation), maintaining Ḥifẓ al-Dīn (rejecting AI authority) and Ḥifẓ al-'Aql (viewing AI as a human intellectual extension). 2) Epistemologically, PAI establishes the Qur'an and Hadith as the ultimate ethical filters for AI algorithmic information and emphasizes citing sources (plagiarism is considered ghishsh). 3) Axiologically, PAI uses the principles of maṣlaḥah (greatest good) and mas'uliyah (full user moral responsibility) as a moral compass, rejecting technological determinism. The PAI philosophical framework successfully serves as an adaptive and critical ethical basis for AI, aiming to produce a competent, reflective, and responsible generation aligned with Islamic values.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of using Zep Quiz as a game-based assessment medium on students’ reading comprehension skills in English learning. The study is grounded in the need for more engaging and interactive assessment innovations to address students’ boredom and anxiety when facing conventional tests. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group, involving two tenth-grade classes at SMK Kosgoro Nganjuk. The experimental group was assessed using Zep Quiz, while the control group took a traditional paper-based test. Data were collected through a reading comprehension test and a learning motivation questionnaire. The findings indicate that the experimental group’s average score (78.5) was slightly higher than that of the control group (76.1), although the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.254). Nevertheless, the use of Zep Quiz was proven to enhance students’ motivation, engagement, and comfort during the assessment process. Interactive features such as avatars, real-time feedback, and a competitive atmosphere helped reduce anxiety and foster a stronger learning spirit. These results suggest that Zep Quiz serves as a valid, enjoyable, and academically reliable digital assessment alternative.
