Abstract

Beginning reading skills are an important foundation in the development of student literacy. However, many elementary school students in Indonesia still struggle to master reading skills at the beginning stage. These difficulties can impact students' academic achievements and interest in learning at the next level. This research aims to explore the process of implementing the loud reading method to improve the initial reading skills of second-grade students at UPT SDN Panyirapan. The focus of this research includes the experiences of students and teachers as well as the dynamics of learning in the classroom. The approach used is a qualitative approach with a case study design. The participants in this study consisted of 35 students and teachers who were purposively selected. Data collection techniques include participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that the application of the read-aloud method has a positive impact on improving students' technical reading skills, such as reading fluency, pronunciation, and intonation. In addition, this method also increases students' active participation in reading activities, fosters learning motivation, and strengthens comprehension of the reading material. Thus, the read-aloud method can serve as an effective alternative learning strategy to address beginning reading issues in elementary schools. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for teachers and education policymakers in designing more engaging and meaningful reading instruction for students.

Abstract

The low level of scientific literacy among elementary school students is a serious challenge in the world of education, especially in facing the demands of the 21st century which emphasizes critical thinking skills, problem solving, and understanding scientific concepts. One of the causes is the lack of interesting learning media that can accommodate students' learning needs as a whole. Therefore, innovation is needed in the form of interactive learning multimedia that can present material in an attractive visual way and actively involve students. This study aims to implement and examine the effectiveness of using interactive learning multimedia in improving elementary school students' scientific literacy. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to analyze and synthesize various relevant studies on the implementation of interactive learning multimedia in the context of improving scientific literacy. Data were collected from various reputable national and international journals in the period 2017 to 2023, using databases such as Google Scholar, DOAJ, and GARUDA. The selection process was carried out with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to obtain relevant and quality articles. A total of 10 articles were selected for analysis. The results of the study showed that most studies concluded that interactive multimedia has a positive influence on improving students' scientific literacy skills. This media has been proven to improve conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, and increase students' interest and motivation to learn. In addition, the use of visual elements, animation, and simulation in multimedia can bridge students' difficulties in understanding abstract concepts in science. Thus, it can be concluded that interactive learning multimedia tends to be effective and relevant in improving elementary school students' scientific literacy. However, limitations such as small sample sizes or context-specific findings in some studies should be considered. These findings provide implications for teachers, media developers, and policy makers to integrate multimedia technology more optimally in science learning.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the need for the development of ethnomathematics-based flipbook media to improve students' understanding of measurement materials in grade III of elementary school. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with teachers, participatory observations in the classroom, and documentation studies of the curriculum and teaching materials used. The results of the study show that measurement learning is still dominated by lecture methods and the use of textbooks, so that students have difficulty in understanding abstract concepts. Teachers have also not integrated elements of local culture in learning, although the concept of traditional units of measurement such as cubits and depa is still used in daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to develop ethnomathematics-based digital flipbook media that can present interactive illustrations, visual simulations, and connect measurement concepts with local cultural practices. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that digital flipbooks can be an innovative solution in improving students' understanding of measurement materials while supporting an exploratory approach in the Independent Curriculum. The recommendation of this study is a trial of flipbook media to measure its effectiveness in increasing student engagement and understanding in mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the initial needs in the development of e-book story media "BUCETAR" as a means of learning thematic literacy for elementary school students at Sekolah Indonesia Riyadh. The background of this research is based on the importance of contextual and interesting digital-based learning media innovations to improve students' literacy skills, especially in the context of Indonesian Overseas Schools (SILN). This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, semi-structured interviews, and the distribution of questionnaires to grade 4 students and teachers. The results of the observation show that the learning process is still conventional with the minimal use of digital media. Teachers are aware of the importance of developing story-based media that is in line with the theme of the curriculum and the student experience. The results of the questionnaire showed that the majority of students liked picture stories, were interested in using e-books, and liked adventure topics that were relevant to their lives. The results of interviews and observations reinforce the finding that the learning media used has not been able to foster students' active involvement in the literacy process. Based on this needs analysis, the development of the "BUCETAR" e-book story is directed at the integration of narrative text with interesting illustrations, thematic approaches according to the curriculum, and interactive designs that support active student participation. This study recommends the development of e-book media as an alternative to literacy learning that is adaptive to technological developments and student needs in the SILN environment. In addition, the results of this study are the basis for further development and evaluation of the effectiveness of the media after it is implemented.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of principals’ human resource management (HRM) competencies on elementary school teachers’ performance in Majalengka Regency, Indonesia. Given the strategic role of school principals in managing educational resources, especially teachers, this study aims to examine how specific dimensions of HRM competencies contribute to teacher performance. A quantitative, correlational research design with a cross-sectional survey approach was used. The study involved 400 teachers from 80 public elementary schools selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires measuring HRM competencies (six dimensions) and teacher performance (four dimensions). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, simple and multiple linear regressions, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings revealed that principals’ HRM competencies significantly influenced teacher performance (R² = 0.615, p < 0.001). Among the HRM dimensions, human resource development had the strongest effect (β = 0.402), followed by performance appraisal (β = 0.234) and HR planning (β = 0.203). Teacher performance was generally high, particularly in personality and pedagogical competencies. All regression assumptions were met, confirming the robustness of the analysis.The results suggest that effective HRM by school principals, especially in continuous professional development and fair performance evaluations, plays a pivotal role in enhancing teacher performance. However, compensation and work relationship dimensions showed room for improvement, indicating potential policy gaps. Principals’ HRM competencies are vital for improving teacher performance. Educational policymakers should prioritize leadership development programs focusing on HRM strategies to strengthen teacher quality and educational outcomes at the elementary level.
