Abstract

This study explores the self-confidence of fourth-grade students through the lens of problem identification in a primary school learning environment. The research was conducted at SD Negeri 1 Kepanjen, located in Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The purpose of the study was to analyze the factors that affect students' self-confidence and to identify potential strategies to improve it within classroom settings. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Participants included students, teachers, and school staff who provided insight into the emotional and behavioral patterns observed in daily learning activities. The findings revealed four main themes influencing students’ self-confidence: fear of making mistakes, teacher-student interaction, peer influence, and the presence of a supportive learning environment. Students who experienced emotional security, constructive feedback, and empathetic relationships with both teachers and peers demonstrated higher levels of self-confidence. In contrast, those exposed to criticism, neglect, or social pressure exhibited avoidance behavior and reluctance to engage. The study also confirmed that mentoring-based learning approaches and inclusive classroom cultures are effective in enhancing students’ confidence and readiness to participate. This research highlights the importance of addressing emotional and social dynamics in elementary education. Self-confidence is not only a psychological trait but a socially constructed behavior influenced by relationships and environmental factors. Educators should focus on building supportive ecosystems that encourage risk-taking, emotional resilience, and academic engagement. Ultimately, this study suggests that fostering self-confidence requires coordinated efforts between teachers, peers, and parents to create a positive, responsive, and empowering learning experience for every student.

Abstract

This research aims to explore and describe the profile of fifth-grade students’ problem-solving abilities through the integration of an Ethno-STEAM approach at SDN Kendangsari IV Surabaya. Using a descriptive quantitative design, the study involved 18 students and focused on analyzing their performance across five problem-solving stages based on Polya's problem-solving framework: identifying the problem, generating solutions, planning and designing, implementing, and evaluating. Students were given a contextual task that integrated cultural (ethno) elements and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) to solve real-life environmental issues related to plastic waste in their school environment. The results revealed that 72% of students were at the Developing Level, indicating emerging capabilities in identifying problems and proposing basic solutions, yet requiring substantial teacher assistance in planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. Meanwhile, 28% reached the Proficient Level, demonstrating more independent and systematic thinking, although further support was still needed for deeper reflection and evaluation. No students reached the Excellent Level, and none remained at the Initial Level. A detailed analysis across Polya’s stages showed strong performance in problem identification (67% at Good to Excellent levels), but significant challenges in the evaluation stage, where 89% of students were categorized as "Needs Improvement." These findings suggest that metacognitive scaffolding, localized content, and collaborative projects are essential to enhance higher-order thinking skills. The Ethno-STEAM approach shows strong potential in connecting scientific concepts with students’ cultural backgrounds, encouraging both relevance and engagement in learning. However, its implementation must be supported by structured pedagogical strategies to maximize its effectiveness in elementary education contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically examine the integration of the Reading Workshop model and the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) approach in enhancing reading literacy among elementary school students. Utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this research analyzed seven peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2024 that focused on the development of reading literacy in primary education settings. The findings reveal that the Reading Workshop model, when combined with SRL strategies, significantly improves students' reading comprehension, autonomy, and motivation to read. This integrative approach supports students in setting reading goals, monitoring their comprehension, and reflecting on their reading practices. Additionally, the literature indicates that the incorporation of digital media, culturally responsive materials, and differentiated instruction further enhances literacy outcomes. Particularly, strategies such as Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) enable teachers to tailor reading instruction to students’ actual reading levels, addressing diverse learning needs. In the context of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia, which promotes personalized and inclusive education, the application of SRL-based Reading Workshop becomes highly relevant. Moreover, embedding local cultural values within reading materials fosters a deeper emotional connection and cultural awareness among students, enriching their overall literacy experience. The review concludes that an integrative literacy instruction model combining Reading Workshop and SRL, enriched by digital tools and contextualized content, is effective in addressing the challenges of reading literacy in elementary education. Future studies are encouraged to develop and empirically test instructional designs that operationalize this integration in classroom settings.

Abstract

Student engagement in learning represents a critical indicator of educational quality, yet many Islamic Religious Education programs continue to struggle with low participation rates and passive learning environments. This study investigated the effectiveness of the AIR (Auditory, Intellectual, and Repetition) learning model in enhancing student learning engagement, specifically focusing on students' ability to express ideas during classroom activities. A quasi-experimental design with posttest-only control group was employed involving 62 Grade XI students at SMK Nurul Falah Pugung, Indonesia. Participants were randomly assigned to experimental (n=31) and control (n=31) groups, receiving AIR model instruction and conventional direct instruction respectively. Learning engagement was measured using a validated questionnaire focusing on the "expressing ideas" indicator, demonstrating acceptable reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.701). Data analysis included normality and homogeneity testing followed by independent samples t-test. The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher learning engagement scores (M = 23.45, SD = 3.12) compared to the control group (M = 20.87, SD = 2.98). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between groups (t(60) = 3.456, p = 0.011 < 0.05) with a large effect size (Cohen's d = 0.89), indicating both statistical and practical significance of the intervention. The AIR learning model effectively enhances student engagement by integrating auditory, intellectual, and repetition components that address behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement dimensions. The findings contribute to educational theory by validating innovative pedagogical approaches in religious education contexts and provide practical frameworks for transforming passive learning environments into interactive, student-centered experiences that prepare students for contemporary educational and workplace demands.

Abstract

Phoneme pronunciation disorder of the phoneme /r/ is one of the complex articulation problems and is often experienced by individuals across various age groups. This study aims to analyze the pronunciation disorder of the phoneme /r/ in 19-year-old individuals from a neurolinguistic perspective using a qualitative method. This case study utilizes direct observation and in-depth interviews as data collection techniques to understand articulation patterns, subjective experiences, and the factors influencing the disorder. The results show that the subject experienced distortion of the phoneme /r/, which appeared as a replacement with the phoneme /w/ or the loss of the /r/ sound in various word positions, especially in the initial and middle positions. Neurological activities that affect articulatory motor coordination play an important role in this disorder, further influenced by psychosocial factors such as social anxiety and environmental reactions. The subject also reported frustration and decreased self-confidence that impacted social interaction and motivation in therapy. These findings confirm the need for a therapeutic approach that integrates neurolinguistic stimulation and psychosocial support to improve the articulation function of the phoneme /r/. This study makes an important contribution to the development of neurolinguistic theory and speech therapy practice with a holistic approach that considers neurological, linguistic, and social aspects. Thus, the results of this study can serve as a basis for the development of more effective interventions to overcome /r/ phoneme pronunciation disorders in late adolescence.

Abstract

Despite widespread policy advocacy for inclusive education, significant challenges persist in implementation, particularly regarding teachers' pedagogical competencies to effectively serve students with diverse learning needs. This study addresses the critical gap in continuous coaching programs specifically designed for inclusive education contexts in early childhood settings. This research investigates the effectiveness of continuous coaching in enhancing teachers' pedagogical competencies for inclusive education implementation at Daarussalaam Islamic Integrated Kindergarten. The study employed School Action Research methodology using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducting three cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection over three months. Five kindergarten teachers participated in the intervention, with data collected through observation sheets, semi-structured interviews, competency evaluation instruments, and teacher reflection journals. Each cycle incorporated training sessions, supervision, mentoring, and group discussions, with teachers applying learned strategies in inclusive classrooms. The intervention achieved remarkable success, with all teachers advancing from "Low" or "Adequate" competency levels to "High" performance categories, representing an overall improvement of 87.1% (from 48.28% to 90.28%). Individual teacher improvements ranged from 37.50% to 45.84%. The study achieved 100% success in predetermined criteria, with all teachers reaching "good" or "excellent" competency levels and 85% of students with special needs actively participating in learning activities. Qualitative data revealed profound conceptual evolution and behavioral changes across all competency areas. Continuous coaching significantly enhances teachers' pedagogical competencies for inclusive education, producing transformational change in both individual teacher performance and institutional culture, providing a validated framework for sustainable inclusive education implementation.

Abstract

Mathematics learning difficulties, particularly in fraction addition, represent a significant challenge in elementary education, with students experiencing low academic achievement and diminished self-confidence. This study aimed to improve fraction addition learning outcomes among elementary students with learning difficulties through the implementation of Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) method based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL). A Classroom Action Research design following the Kemmis and McTaggart spiral model was conducted over two cycles with 20 fifth-grade students at an elementary school in Kaliorang District, East Kutai Regency. The study specifically focused on four students with learning difficulties as primary subjects. Data collection employed learning modules, observation sheets, worksheets, evaluation tests, and field notes. Qualitative analysis followed the Miles and Huberman framework, while quantitative analysis utilized percentage and average calculations. Success criteria required students to achieve a minimum average score of ≥75 with 80% class mastery. The intervention demonstrated exceptional effectiveness, with overall proficiency rates improving from 20% (pre-cycle) to 75% (Cycle I) to 100% (Cycle II). Among students with learning difficulties, proficiency increased from 0% to 100%, with average scores improving by 38.25 points. Class average scores rose from 65.70 to 89.80. Student engagement increased by 25.41%, while teacher performance improved by 20%. The CRA-PBL integration proved highly effective in addressing fraction addition learning difficulties, achieving complete mastery among target students. This methodology offers a promising framework for inclusive mathematics education, demonstrating that appropriate instructional approaches can overcome traditional learning barriers and enhance educational outcomes for all students.

Abstract

Learning Pancasila Education in elementary schools has an important role in instilling national values from an early age. However, in practice, this learning is still dominated by conventional methods that do not associate the material with the local culture. One of the cultural potentials that can be integrated into learning is the art of ludruk, which is full of Pancasila values such as mutual cooperation, deliberation, and justice. This study aims to analyze the need for the development of textbooks based on ludruk culture to increase the effectiveness of Pancasila Education learning in elementary schools. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies. The research was conducted at SDN Tambak Wedi 508 Surabaya with 2 Pancasila Education teachers, 1 principal, and 40 students from grades IV and V as participants. The results of the study show that learning is still centered on standard textbooks without the integration of local culture. Teachers face limitations in relevant teaching materials, while students have difficulty understanding the values of Pancasila concretely. However, observations indicate that student engagement significantly improves when ludruk cultural elements are introduced, especially in discussions related to mutual cooperation and justice. In conclusion, the development of ludruk-based textbooks is very necessary to increase students' understanding of Pancasila values while preserving local culture. The recommended textbook should be contextual, interactive, and designed as a supplemental resource that aligns with the current elementary curriculum.

Abstract

Mathematics education faces significant challenges among slow learner students, with only 30% mastering basic addition operations in special schools. This study investigated the effectiveness of contextual-based concrete visual stamp game media on improving integer addition skills among slow learner students in junior high school. A single-subject research design with A-B-A model was employed involving two seventh-grade male slow learner students (IQ 70-90) from SMP Negeri 1 Teluk Pandan. The study consisted of three phases: baseline A1 (3 sessions), intervention B (4 sessions using stamp game media), and baseline A2 (3 sessions). Data were collected through objective tests and analyzed using visual graph analysis techniques, including within-condition and between-condition analyses. Both subjects demonstrated substantial improvements during the intervention phase. Subject ADR's performance increased from a baseline mean of 52% to 81% during intervention, while Subject MIP improved from 46.67% to 81%. The percentage of non-overlapping data showed 0% overlap between baseline A1 and intervention phases, indicating strong treatment effectiveness. Maintenance phase results revealed differential retention patterns, with Subject ADR maintaining scores above baseline levels (75.67%) and Subject MIP showing continued improvement (87.67%). Contextual-based concrete visual stamp game media significantly enhances integer addition skills among slow learner students. The intervention's effectiveness is attributed to its concrete nature, which facilitates the transition from concrete to abstract thinking consistent with constructivist learning principles. These findings support the integration of manipulative tools in inclusive mathematics education for students with diverse learning needs.
