Abstract

The rapid development of digital learning media necessitates that educators implement engaging and effective instructional strategies. One innovative tool gaining significant attention is the pop-up book. This study aims to evaluate the enhancement of students’ learning outcomes and critical thinking skills through the integration of pop-up books within a Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach. The research methodology employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) covering publications from 2020 to 2025. A total of 500 articles indexed in Google Scholar were analyzed using bibliometric mapping via Publish or Perish and VOSviewer, with twenty five key articles selected for in-depth examination. The findings indicate that contemporary research focuses heavily on the synergy between interactive learning media and instructional models, with the combination of pop-up books and PBL emerging as a frequently explored variable. Evidence suggests that employing pop-up books within a PBL framework effectively improves both academic performance and critical thinking abilities. Consequently, this integration serves as a practical and innovative teaching strategy to meet the demands of modern education.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of religious character education in developing religious values among early childhood learners at TK Negeri Gansal, Banggai Kepulauan Regency, Indonesia. Early childhood (0–6 years) is widely recognized as a critical period for establishing moral and spiritual foundations. This study aims to describe the implementation process, evaluate its effectiveness, and identify challenges and solutions in strengthening religious character in daily school activities. This research employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with the principal, teachers, and parents, and documentation of learning programs and school activities. Data analysis followed an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that religious character education was implemented effectively through consistent habituation, including daily prayers before and after activities, religious songs, and teacher role modeling. Most students achieved good to very good development in indicators such as recognizing God’s creations and practicing daily worship routines. Challenges included limited learning media and inconsistent reinforcement at home. Strengthening parent involvement and developing varied learning resources are recommended to sustain children’s religious character development.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' learning motivation in Indonesian language learning through the development of the Ludo Pintar media. The background of this study is the low learning motivation of students at MI Ihyaul Islam I, Probolinggo Regency, which is caused by the dominant use of lecture and practice methods, which makes students passive and easily bored. The Ludo Pintar media is designed as a fun educational game to help students understand synonyms and antonyms interactively. This study uses the ADDIE development model which includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The research subjects involved media experts, material experts, teachers, and fifth grade students. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. The validation results showed that the media was declared very valid by media experts (86%) and valid by material experts (73%). The practicality test obtained a teacher response of 91%, indicating that the media is very easy to use and interesting. In addition, the results of the effectiveness test showed an increase in learning motivation from an average of 29.33 to 51, with an increase of 74%. Thus, the Ludo Pintar media is feasible, practical, and effective for use in Indonesian language learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of role-playing methods on the development of children's social behavior at Mekar Mekarti Kindergarten in Pasangkayu Regency. Social behavior is an important skill that needs to be developed from an early age, including caring, cooperation, and mutual assistance. This study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 15 children as research subjects. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was performed statistically using a t-test through the SPSS program. The results showed a significant increase in children's social behavior after being given treatment in the form of role-playing methods. The pretest average score of 4.93 increased to 8.13 on the posttest. In addition, the Not Yet Developed (BB) category, which previously dominated, decreased dramatically to 0% after the treatment, while the Developing as Expected (BSH) and Developing Very Well (BSB) categories increased significantly. The t-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, which means H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, so it can be concluded that the role-playing method has a significant effect on children's social behavior. Thus, the role-playing method can be used as an effective learning strategy in developing the social aspects of early childhood.

Abstract

This study examines the psychopragmatic aspects of compliment speech acts in teacher–student interactions among Grade VIII students at SMP Nizamia Andalusia, Jakarta. The research aims to identify the forms and functions of compliments and to analyze their perlocutionary effects within classroom communication. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through direct observation and analysis of naturally occurring utterances during classroom interactions from July to September 2025. The findings indicate four types of compliment speech acts: ability, personality, possession, and appearance, with ability-based compliments appearing most frequently. The dominant communicative function identified is positive evaluation, followed by expressions of solidarity, mild verbal teasing in humorous contexts, and expressions of admiration. From a psychopragmatic perspective, compliments serve not only as linguistic evaluations but also as psychological reinforcement that fosters positive emotions and interpersonal harmony. The perlocutionary effects include increased self-confidence, stronger learning motivation, and the development of social values such as empathy and cooperation. This study contributes to psychopragmatic scholarship and offers practical implications for teachers in developing effective and supportive classroom communication strategies.

Abstract

The aims of this research are to identify the functions of code-switching and to explain why teachers employ code-switching in English classrooms. This study utilized a qualitative research design to investigate the phenomenon of code-switching in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Code-switching data were collected from three schools through classroom observations and audio recordings. To support the analysis, interviews with teachers were conducted to gain deeper insights into their reasons for using code-switching. The findings show that teachers use code-switching in the classroom to give instructions, provide feedback, build students’ confidence and comfort, and support students’ understanding of new English vocabulary. The functions of code-switching performed by teachers are not limited to pedagogical purposes but also relate to behavior management and interpersonal or affective interactions with students. Teachers also use code-switching as a strategic tool by transferring and integrating two languages to enhance student engagement and communication during the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

Human Resource (HR) development is a key factor in achieving sustainable educational quality. In the context of Islamic educational institutions, HR development is not only directed at improving the professional competence of teachers and education personnel, but also the formation of spiritual character based on Islamic values. This article aims to analyze the concept and model of HR development based on Islamic values that are relevant to be applied in integrated Islamic schools. The method used is library research by examining modern human resource management theory and the principles of developing perfect human beings in Islam. HR development results can be realized through a holistic approach that emphasizes aspects of tazkiyah (purification of the soul), takwiyah (strengthening professional competence), and tarbiyah (formation of character and Islamic work culture). This model is expected to be able to produce educators who are professionally competent, ethical, and oriented towards devotion to Allah SWT.
