Abstract

Environmental literacy programs in industrial contexts remain underexplored despite growing recognition of their importance in addressing local environmental challenges. This study examined the effectiveness of an environmental literacy program at SDN Warnasari Cilegon in enhancing students' environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors within an industrial city setting. A descriptive quantitative pre-post intervention design was employed with 180 elementary students (grades IV-VI) who participated in a contextually relevant environmental literacy program focusing on waste management and water conservation. Data collection utilized validated questionnaires, behavioral observations, and semi-structured interviews. Pre-post comparisons were analyzed using paired-samples t-tests with effect sizes calculated using Cohen's d. Results demonstrated significant improvements across all dimensions: environmental knowledge increased from 58.4 to 78.6 points (p < 0.001, d = 1.67), attitudes improved from 3.12 to 4.21 on a five-point scale (p < 0.001, d = 1.72), and behaviors showed substantial enhancement with participation rates increasing by 40-55% in key environmental practices. Qualitative findings revealed that hands-on, locally relevant activities were particularly effective in connecting theoretical knowledge to practical application. The program successfully addressed the knowledge-behavior gap through experiential learning approaches targeting industrial city-specific environmental challenges. This research contributes novel insights into environmental literacy program effectiveness in industrial contexts, providing a replicable model for educational institutions facing similar environmental pressures and demonstrating the critical importance of contextual relevance in environmental education programming.

Abstract

Students' ability to solve integer operations is a fundamental aspect in basic mathematics learning. This study aims to analyze the profile of the ability of grade II elementary school students in solving number operation problems based on three forms of representation: story, numerical, and picture-based questions. The method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques in the form of tests, observations, and interviews. A total of 15 students were the subjects of the study. The test results showed that the highest student success rate was found in picture-based questions (100%), followed by numerical questions (86.67%), and the lowest in story questions (23.33%). Observations indicate that students are more responsive to concrete visual representations compared to narrative forms that demand language understanding. Interviews with teachers supported these findings, citing low literacy integration and media limitations as the main causes of students' difficulties. This study concludes that the representation of questions greatly affects students' ability to solve integer operations. Mathematics learning at the initial level needs to integrate visual and literacy strategies in a balanced manner to build comprehensive problem-solving skills. These findings provide important implications for the development of learning media and curriculum design that is more adaptive to the cognitive needs of early childhood students.

Abstract

This mixed-methods study investigates the effectiveness of Khan Academy in improving fifth-grade students’ ability to solve fraction word problems in a remote primary school in East Java, Indonesia. FouTwenty-four students participated in a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, supported by qualitative interviews with the classroom teacher. Quantitative results indicated a paradoxical outcome: although 86% of students expressed positive attitudes toward the platform, the class average decreased slightly from 37.14 to 34.29, with an increased standard deviation from 15.67 to 16.47. Only 36% of students improved their scores, while 43% experienced notable declines. These findings suggest that initial technological engagement does not guarantee improved academic performance, particularly in under-resourced settings where digital fluency and mathematical foundations are limited. Qualitative analysis revealed that while students favored features such as audio feedback and step-by-step guidance, many struggled with contextual understanding of word problems. Teacher insights highlighted the importance of scaffolding and cultural adaptation in content delivery. The study concludes that Khan Academy holds potential for enhancing learning but requires thoughtful integration with teacher-led instruction, contextual relevance, and differentiated support. This research contributes to the growing discourse on equity and contextualization in digital education, particularly in remote and underserved communities. It also emphasizes the need for blended pedagogical models that bridge the gap between digital enthusiasm and conceptual understanding.

Abstract

This study presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the integration of ethnomathematics in traditional Indonesian dance and its pedagogical potential within mathematics education. Ethnomathematics, as a cultural lens in mathematics, fosters meaningful learning by contextualizing abstract concepts through local knowledge systems. The objective of this review is to explore how traditional dance elements—such as floor patterns, body postures, rhythmic structures, and accessories—reflect mathematical ideas that are adaptable for classroom instruction. A total of ten peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and 2024 were systematically analyzed based on inclusion criteria involving journal accreditation, mention of mathematical-cultural elements, and instructional integration. Findings indicate that various mathematical concepts, particularly in geometry, arithmetic, and transformation, are embedded in traditional dances like Tari Piring, Topeng Malangan, Gandrung, and Dolalak. These include angles, symmetry, rotation, reflection, coordinate geometry, as well as patterns related to Fibonacci sequences and fractals. The review also reveals the importance of teacher training, curriculum support, and interdisciplinary collaboration in ensuring the effective use of ethnomathematics in classrooms. This research underscores the significance of culturally responsive teaching in the Merdeka Curriculum and highlights traditional dance as a rich and underutilized resource for contextual mathematics learning. Integrating local culture into pedagogy not only enhances student engagement and understanding but also supports the preservation of intangible cultural heritage. However, given that only ten studies met the inclusion criteria over a ten-year span, this review acknowledges that the limited sample may not fully represent all existing research in the field. Further empirical investigations and broader database searches are therefore recommended to strengthen the findings and explore new perspectives on ethnomathematics in traditional arts.

Abstract

Fine motor skill deficits significantly impact academic readiness in preschool children, particularly those at risk for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Traditional interventions often fail to accommodate the unique learning characteristics of children with ADHD, necessitating innovative approaches that integrate multisensory engagement with structured skill development. This study investigated the effectiveness of collage activities using loose parts materials in enhancing fine motor skills among preschool children at risk for ADHD. A classroom action research design following the Kemmis and McTaggart model was employed over four weeks at TK Negeri 1 Sangatta Selatan, Indonesia. Eight children aged 4-5 years with ADHD risk factors participated in two intervention cycles, each comprising two collage sessions using diverse loose parts materials. Fine motor skills were assessed across six domains using structured observation checklists with four-point rating scales. Data collection included quantitative assessments, photographic documentation, and teacher interviews. Substantial improvements were observed across all fine motor domains. Pre-intervention assessment revealed that only 25% of participants achieved competent performance levels (BSH/BSB). Following the two-cycle intervention, 100% of children demonstrated competent fine motor skills across all assessed domains. Participants showed enhanced cutting precision, improved pressure control in material adherence, increased scissor manipulation stability, extended attention spans, greater independence in task completion, and improved creativity with precision. Qualitative observations indicated reduced off-task behaviors and increased peer cooperation. The findings demonstrate that collage activities with loose parts materials effectively address fine motor deficits in children at risk for ADHD. The intervention's success supports loose parts theory and provides evidence for inclusive classroom-based approaches that simultaneously enhance motor competencies and attention regulation. The results have significant implications for early childhood educators seeking practical, evidence-based strategies for supporting diverse learners.
