Abstract

The low level of students’ understanding in learning Natural Sciences, particularly on renewable energy topics, in elementary schools is partly due to the lack of interactive learning media that align with children's learning characteristics. This study aims to analyze the needs of both teachers and students for the development of interactive infographic media grounded in the discovery learning approach. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, using closed-ended questionnaires as the primary data collection instrument. The respondents consisted of 30 students and six classroom teachers from an elementary school in Musi Banyuasin Regency. The questionnaire covered pedagogical, technical, cognitive, aesthetic, and evaluation aspects. The findings revealed that the majority of students struggled to comprehend renewable energy concepts in the absence of visual media. Furthermore, 90% of students expressed a preference for learning materials incorporating images, videos, and animations. All teacher respondents emphasized the need for media that supports active and visual learning tailored to the developmental characteristics of elementary students. These findings underscore the urgent need to develop interactive infographic media based on discovery learning to enhance students’ conceptual understanding. Practically, the results serve as a foundation for designing learning tools that are engaging, age-appropriate, and capable of fostering independent exploration in science education at the elementary level.

Abstract

Literacy is a foundational competency that significantly influences students’ academic and lifelong success. This study investigates the effect of structured literacy instruction on the reading abilities of Grade V students at SD Lab School UNIMUDA, Sorong Regency. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, this quantitative study involved eight students and applied a literacy intervention integrated into Bahasa Indonesia instruction over the course of four sessions. Data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, paired sample t-test, and normalized gain (N-Gain) analysis. The findings indicate that the data were normally distributed, permitting the use of parametric analysis. The paired sample t-test showed a statistically significant improvement in students’ reading performance (p = 0.000), while the N-Gain score averaged 57.15%, placing the intervention in the moderately effective category. These results demonstrate that consistent and visually engaging literacy instruction, supported by structured routines and relevant reading materials, can enhance student engagement and reading comprehension. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing evidence from a remote and underrepresented educational setting, highlighting the effectiveness of school-based literacy initiatives. It calls for broader implementation of such interventions and suggests further research into sustainable and community-supported literacy models. The findings offer practical insights for educators, policymakers, and literacy advocates working to improve primary education outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in shaping the character of students at SDN Kalisari II Telagasari Karawang. The background of this research is the challenge in character formation of the younger generation, especially elementary school students, which is increasingly complex in the midst of rampant juvenile delinquency and moral degradation. The urgency of this research lies in the importance of character education in elementary schools as a foundation to form the personality of students with noble character and integrity. The purpose of the research is to describe how PAI teachers carry out their role in instilling Islamic character values which include honesty, responsibility, and respect through a humanist and innovative approach. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study method. Data were obtained from interviews with PAI teachers, principals, and students in grades V and VI, in addition to direct observation and documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was carried out using constructivism approaches from Piaget and Vygotsky, with Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis models to manage the data. The validity of the data is maintained through triangulation of data from various sources. The results of the study show that PAI teachers at SDN Kalisari II Telagasari Karawang have succeeded in shaping the character of students through their various roles as educators, influencers, inspirers, innovators, and motivators. However, challenges such as limited facilities and lack of support from the home environment remain obstacles. The implications of this study show the importance of the active role of all parties, including parents and the community, in supporting character education in schools. The suggestion from this study is the need to improve supporting facilities and strengthen cooperation between schools, parents, and the community to achieve sustainable character formation.

Abstract

The rapid development of technology in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 has brought significant changes to the world of education. One of the main challenges faced is how to improve learning motivation and learning outcomes of students through an innovative approach that is relevant to the times. In the context of science learning, particularly on the topic of energy transformation, an appropriate instructional approach has a significant impact on students’ motivation an learning outcomes. One effort that can be made is through learning with the STEAM approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation and test the effect of the STEAM approach in science subjects on energy changes on student motivation and learning outcomes. This study used a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study were grade IV students of SDN Kemangsen 1 Krian, the sample used was 30 grade IV students. The data analysis technique used the paired sample t-test. The results of the pretest and posttest hypothesis tests showed a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.00 which is less than 0.05 so that there is a significant effect of the STEAM approach on student motivation and learning outcomes. Thus, it can be concluded that the STEAM approach can be used as an alternative learning, especially in science subjects on energy changes in relation to student motivation and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on improving fifth-grade students’ geographic literacy skills. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test control group design. Participants were 60 fifth-grade students from two public elementary schools in West Java, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. The experimental group (n = 30) received PBL intervention, while the control group (n = 30) was taught through Discovery Learning. Data were collected using a geographic literacy test that was previously tested for validity and reliability. The intervention was implemented over nine meetings, each lasting 90 minutes. The data were analysed using normality and homogeneity tests, paired t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The results show a significant improvement in geographic literacy in the experimental class (p < 0.05), with a mean N-Gain of 72.6% (quite effective), while the control class scored 35.3% (ineffective). Furthermore, the post-test mean score of the experimental group (79.17) was significantly higher than that of the control group (68.67). The study concludes that the PBL model is more effective than Discovery Learning in enhancing geographic literacy skills of elementary school students.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the world of education has encouraged the adoption of various technology-based learning media, one of which is e-modules. E-modules are considered to provide a more flexible, interactive, and interesting learning experience for elementary school students. This research aims to examine the trends, development models, effectiveness, and challenges of e-modules through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, following the PRISMA methodology. A total of 19 scientific articles published between 2018 and 2024 were systematically reviewed using the stages of identification, screening, feasibility selection, and data synthesis. The literature search was conducted using databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, ERIC, and DOAJ, with keywords including "e-module," "elementary school," "digital learning," and "technology integration." The results of the study show that the majority of e-modules developed use innovative learning approaches such as Problem Based Learning, Project Based Learning, Contextual Teaching and Learning, as well as science and sustainability literacy-based approaches. The analyzed e-modules have high validity (average above 90%), high practicality, and have been proven to be effective in improving learning outcomes, learning motivation, science literacy, critical thinking skills, and student independence. The e-module also integrates various multimedia elements such as videos, narratives, interactive quizzes, and digital simulations that reinforce students' fascination and understanding of the material. However, some of the challenges found include limited digital infrastructure, lack of teacher training in the development and use of e-modules, and limited access to students in certain areas. Therefore, a comprehensive implementation strategy, strong education policy support, and increased digital literacy for educators and students are needed. This study concludes that e-modules have great potential in supporting the digitalization of learning in primary schools, noting that technical and resource challenges must be addressed collaboratively. These findings are expected to be the basis for the development of education policies and learning media innovations in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the cognitive abilities and responses of elementary school students to contextually-based higher order thinking skills (HOTS) on plant morphology materials. The research approach used was a mixed exploratory method, with one student in grade IV elementary school in Surabaya for qualitative data (think aloud) and 25 students in Lamongan for quantitative data (written test). The instruments used were contextual-based HOTS questions developed through expert validation and limited trials. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, documentation, and tests. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically, while quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and reliability (α = 0.76). The results showed that students experienced increased cognitive engagement when faced with problems associated with the context of daily life, such as familiar plants. The students' responses showed that analytical thinking skills began to develop, although evaluative abilities were still limited. Students' thinking processes are more structured when they receive visual stimulus and verbal guidance through think aloud techniques. However, some students have difficulty understanding scientific terms, which shows the need for language adjustments in the preparation of questions. Research has also found that students with previous observational and discussion experiences tend to give more complex and reflective answers. These findings underscore the importance of developing HOTS questions that take into account local contexts, cognitive developmental stages, and student learning experiences. The research recommends the integration of contextual-based learning and HOTS assessment in the elementary school science curriculum. HOTS questions not only serve as an evaluation tool, but also as a means to train critical and reflective mindsets from an early age. Thus, this approach supports the strengthening of 21st century competencies at the basic education level.

Abstract

Islamic education has a strategic role in forming a generation that not only has a deep scientific understanding but is also able to practice this knowledge in daily life. The concepts of practical science and scientific charity are an important foundation in the approach to Islamic education, where the knowledge gained must be put into practice, and every charity must be based on correct knowledge. This research aims to explore the relevance of the concepts of practical science and scientific charity in the context of contemporary Islamic education challenges. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study examines the primary sources of Djasman Al-Kindi's book, and relates it to modern issues such as globalization, technological development, and socio-cultural change. The results of the study show that the integration of practical science and scientific charity in the Islamic education system makes a significant contribution in forming individuals with character, critical, and responsible character. This approach also encourages the simultaneous strengthening of moral, spiritual, and intellectual values. In the contemporary context, the application of this concept requires innovation in teaching methods, curriculum development, and the use of information technology without abandoning the basic principles of Islam. This study recommends an Islamic education model that is adaptive to the changing times but still rooted in Islamic values. Thus, practical science and scientific charity are the solution to the challenges of modern education as well as a means to realize a spiritually and intellectually balanced society.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the integration of differentiated instruction and the development of students' critical thinking skills within the context of the Merdeka Curriculum (Independent Curriculum) in elementary mathematics education. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this research analyzed 8 peer-reviewed journal articles published between [insert year range]. The findings reveal that differentiated instruction through content, process, product, and learning environment adjustments significantly contributes to enhancing students’ critical thinking skills, including analysis, evaluation, inference, and problem-solving abilities. Differentiation enables learning personalization based on students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles, thereby creating equitable and inclusive learning environments. The implementation of differentiated learning media, such as digital worksheets and interactive e-modules, further supports student engagement and cognitive development. However, several challenges persist, including teachers’ limited competence in differentiation strategies, time constraints, and the demands of managing heterogeneous classrooms. Despite these challenges, differentiated instruction aligns with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes student agency, diversity, and the cultivation of 21st-century competencies. The review also highlights the crucial role of teacher training, curriculum support systems, and innovative teaching practices in optimizing the implementation of differentiation in mathematics instruction. This study recommends the institutionalization of professional development programs, the design of adaptive learning media, and further empirical research on the long-term impact of differentiation on students’ cognitive and character development. In addition, specific statistical results from the reviewed articles (e.g., effect sizes, sample characteristics) should be integrated where available to strengthen the synthesis. The integration of differentiated instruction and critical thinking within the Merdeka Curriculum represents a transformative shift toward inclusive, student-centered mathematics education in Indonesian elementary schools.
