Abstract

This study aimed to develop and examine the effectiveness of a problem-solving skills module based on the ADDIE model to enhance the independence of the female board members of the Darussalam Islamic Boarding School Student Organization (OPPD) at Darussalam Islamic Boarding School, Garut. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE stages: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. The developed module was contextual, practical, and integrated with Islamic boarding school values. Content validity was assessed using Aiken’s V index, yielding coefficients ranging from 0.93 to 0.96, indicating very high validity. Effectiveness was tested through a one-group pretest–posttest design using a social independence scale and involving 40 participants. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, paired t-test, N-Gain, and Cohen’s d effect size. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ independence after training (t (39) = -7.629, α < 0.05), with the mean score improving from 80.28 to 89.55. The N-Gain was 0.44 (moderate effectiveness category) while Cohen’s d reached 1.66, indicating a very large effect. Therefore, the module may serve as a practical instructional model for developing organizational autonomy and leadership competence in Islamic boarding school student organizations.

Abstract

The phenomenon of student misconduct, such as truancy, tardiness, smoking, and similar behaviours, remains a common problem in secondary education. Although not classified as fatal juvenile delinquency, such behaviour indicates a crisis of character internalisation and unmet psychological needs among students. This article aims to analyse violations of student status using Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory as a framework for understanding. The research method employed is qualitative, using two approaches: case studies and literature reviews to analyse relevant sources. The findings indicate that status violations can be viewed as manifestations of neglected basic needs, such as a sense of security, social acceptance, or self-esteem. Based on these findings, this article proposes a counselling service framework based on a humanistic approach focused on fulfilling students' needs comprehensively. This approach is expected to support the role of guidance counsellors in addressing deviant behaviour in a more empathetic, preventive, and solution-oriented manner. Further research suggests that schools need to create an environment that fosters a sense of safety, respect and social acceptance for all pupils, as a preventive measure against status violations.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using the Least Common Multiple (LCM) Number Board media on elementary school students’ cognitive learning outcomes in mathematics. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a non-equivalent control group design. The participants consisted of an experimental class and a control class. Data were collected through pretests and posttests to measure students’ cognitive learning outcomes. The experimental class was taught using the LCM Number Board media, while the control class received conventional instruction. The results showed that the use of the LCM Number Board media significantly improved students’ mathematics learning outcomes. The average score of the experimental class increased from 60.73 on the pretest to 88.07 on the posttest, which was higher than the improvement achieved by the control class. These findings indicate that concrete learning media can help students understand abstract mathematical concepts more effectively and enhance their cognitive achievement in mathematics learning. Therefore, the LCM Number Board media can be used as an alternative instructional medium to support mathematics learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model supported by Augmented Reality on critical thinking skills. Critical thinking skills are an important variable because they are related to the ability to think reflectively and rationally. PBL was chosen because it encourages students to analyze problems and evaluate information. The study employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 58 fourth-grade students in the Gajah Mada Cluster on the topic of the solar system. The research instrument consisted of a critical thinking skills test developed based on Ennis’s indicators. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through paired t-tests and N-Gain tests. The results showed an improvement in critical thinking skills, indicated by an increase in the average score from the pretest to the posttest, as well as a statistically significant difference (sig. < 0.05). The N-Gain value of 0.53 falls into the moderate category, indicating that the learning process had a sufficiently effective impact. This improvement was supported by students’ active engagement in critical thinking and concrete visualization through Augmented Reality, which aided the analysis and reasoning processes. Thus, Problem-Based Learning supported by Augmented Reality is effective in improving the critical thinking skills of elementary school students.

Abstract

The dynamics of interpersonal communication between teachers and students in individual guidance services at the elementary school level play an important role in supporting the effectiveness of guidance activities. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach to describe the process of interpersonal communication between teachers and students at SD Negeri 2 Wlahar Purbalingga. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed that interpersonal communication in individual guidance services occurred in a two-way and dynamic manner. Teachers not only provided guidance and direction but also acted as listeners and facilitators who gave students opportunities to express their feelings and personal problems. The quality of interpersonal communication was influenced by teachers’ empathy, active listening skills, the use of simple and understandable language, students’ trust, and a comfortable, non-judgmental communication atmosphere. The study also identified several obstacles, including limited time, teachers’ workload, lack of private counseling spaces, and students’ low confidence in expressing themselves openly. The findings indicate that effective interpersonal communication can enhance students’ openness and support the success of individual guidance services in elementary schools.

Abstract

The creativity crisis among elementary school students, especially in the upper grades, has become a serious problem in education. If not addressed immediately, this problem can hamper students' competitiveness before they fully develop their potential. Creativity refers to the ability to generate new ideas and find solutions to any problem. However, many students still struggle with decision-making and innovation. Departing from this problem, this study aims to develop an e-based instrument to enhance student creativity. This e-instrument integrates various learning supports, including teaching modules, worksheets, creativity assessment instruments, and interactive quizzes. This instrument is designed according to the syntax of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model and aligns with creativity indicators, enabling students to complete projects without relying on stationery. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the Nieveen model, which consists of preliminary research, prototyping, summative evaluation, and Systematic Reflection and Documentation Stage. The results show that the e-instrument achieves a high level of validity with an average score of 0.80 (valid category). Its practicality reached 93.41% from teachers and 81.39% from students (both very practical). The N-gain score was 0.61 (moderate). Therefore, the developed E-instrument is valid, practical, and effective in improving student creativity.
