Abstract

Student learning outcomes in Indonesian language subjects remain suboptimal in rural elementary schools, necessitating pedagogical innovations that leverage locally available resources. This study examined the effectiveness of implementing a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by environmental resources in improving Indonesian language learning outcomes among fifth-grade students. This classroom action research employed the Kemmis and McTaggart spiral model across two cycles at SDN 3 Sirenja, involving nine fifth-grade students. Data were collected through structured observation protocols documenting teacher and student activities, field notes, and criterion-referenced achievement tests. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine individual absorption rates and classical learning mastery, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis following Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's framework. Classical learning completeness increased dramatically from 11.11% at baseline to 88.88% in Cycle II, exceeding the institutional standard of 80%. Classical absorption rates improved from 32.22% to 80%, while teacher activity increased from 80.64% to 87.17% and student activity rose from 71.42% to 87.90%, indicating transformed classroom dynamics. The findings demonstrate that environment-assisted PBL significantly enhances Indonesian language learning in rural contexts by transforming passive instruction into active, student-centered learning. This approach offers a sustainable pedagogical model for resource-constrained schools, leveraging local environmental resources rather than requiring expensive materials or technology infrastructure.

Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in elementary education represents a critical strategy for enhancing learning quality, yet implementation in resource-constrained contexts remains underexplored. This study examined IT-based learning management implementation and its relationship to student learning motivation in elementary schools with limited infrastructure. A qualitative multiple case study was conducted at two elementary schools in Campaka District, Cianjur Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through participatory observations, semi-structured interviews with principals, teachers, and students, and documentary analysis. Data analysis employed Miles et al.'s (2014) framework incorporating data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation ensuring validity. Findings revealed that both schools enhanced student engagement and motivation through IT integration despite infrastructure disparities. SDN Margasari demonstrated systematic management across planning, organization, implementation, and evaluation functions, while SDN Hegarmanah exhibited emergent practices aligned with early adoption stages. Key obstacles included equipment limitations, internet connectivity issues, and variable teacher competencies. Adaptive solutions encompassed phased infrastructure development, targeted professional development, and pedagogical innovation. Results confirm that systematic IT-based learning management can effectively increase elementary students' learning motivation even within resource constraints when calibrated to institutional capacity. Findings extend Terry's management theory and motivational frameworks while illuminating developmental progressions in technology integration requiring differentiated support strategies for schools at varying implementation stages.

Abstract

The development of independence and social-emotional competencies in elementary students requires systematic collaboration between teachers and parents, yet structured partnership models remain insufficiently explored in Indonesian educational contexts. This study examines teacher-parent collaboration in developing students' independence and social-emotional skills at SDN 011 Cibuntu, Bandung City, identifying critical components and implementation mechanisms. A qualitative case study design was employed, collecting data through in-depth interviews with five teachers, one school principal, and eight parents, supplemented by systematic observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's framework. Three essential collaboration dimensions emerged: joint planning incorporating bidirectional input, coordinated implementation through aligned home-school strategies and intensive communication (averaging 3.7 exchanges per parent monthly), and collaborative evaluation enabling dual-context monitoring. Active collaboration improved student independence indicators and social-emotional competencies, though implementation faced substantial barriers including documentation gaps, time constraints affecting economically disadvantaged families, and informal evaluation practices. Social-emotional development required more intensive collaboration than independence skills, revealing differential impacts across developmental domains. Systematic teacher-parent collaboration effectively supports student development when accompanied by structured protocols, professional development, flexible engagement options, and formal evaluation tools. Realizing collaboration potential demands systemic supports addressing capacity building at individual, institutional, and policy levels rather than relying on individual initiative alone.

Abstract

Junior high school students face persistent challenges in developing English speaking competence, including limited vocabulary, poor pronunciation, lack of confidence, and anxiety. Traditional lecture-based instruction fails to engage students effectively, necessitating innovative pedagogical approaches. This study examined how systematic management of picture story media enhances English speaking competence among junior high school students. A qualitative case study was conducted at one junior high school in Bandung, Indonesia, involving English teachers and students across grades seven through nine. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic analysis guided by management theory and language learning frameworks.  Findings revealed that systematic planning, structured organization, strategic implementation, and comprehensive evaluation of picture story media significantly improved student outcomes. Vocabulary retention increased from 41% to 73%, fluency scores rose from 2.3 to 3.8, and confidence levels improved dramatically from 1.9 to 4.1 on five-point scales. Students demonstrated enhanced engagement (87% versus 52% in traditional instruction), spontaneous peer teaching, and autonomous learning behaviors. Picture story media, when systematically managed, effectively enhances English speaking competence by reducing cognitive load, lowering affective barriers, and facilitating collaborative learning. The study provides theoretical validation of multimedia learning principles and practical frameworks for educators implementing visual narrative approaches in language instruction.

Abstract

Twenty-first century education requires comprehensive student leadership development beyond academic achievement. Student councils represent strategic platforms for cultivating organizational competencies, yet frequently encounter systematic challenges including inadequate coaching frameworks and limited developmental programming. This qualitative descriptive study examined student council development through self-development training at two Islamic secondary schools in Indonesia. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with principals, advisors, teachers, and council members, and documentation analysis. Analysis followed Miles et al.'s interactive model, with trustworthiness established through triangulation, member checking, and thick description. Findings revealed that systematic application of management functions—planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling—effectively enhanced student competencies when grounded in participatory approaches. Planning employed needs analysis and deliberative forums. Organization established democratic structures with clear role delineation. Implementation utilized experiential methods integrating theoretical instruction with authentic practice. Control mechanisms incorporated reflective evaluation and constructive feedback. Both schools successfully developed leadership, communication, and organizational competencies while adapting frameworks to distinct institutional contexts—one emphasizing technical-managerial skills, the other integrating Islamic values. Results demonstrate that student councils function as transformative leadership laboratories when supported through structured development programs. The integrated model extends management theory into youth organizational contexts while providing actionable frameworks for educational practitioners seeking to optimize student council effectiveness as strategic vehicles for comprehensive character and competency development.

Abstract

Education in the twenty-first century increasingly requires innovation that integrates technology with cultural values to create meaningful learning experiences. This study aimed to develop and evaluate Smart Apps, an interactive digital learning media integrating IPAS content with Central Sulawesi's local wisdom, specifically the traditional Lalove musical instrument, for fifth-grade students. Employing Research and Development (R&D) design guided by the ADDIE model, the study involved 28 fifth-grade students at SDN Inpres 1 Lolu, one classroom teacher, and two expert validators. Data were collected through validation sheets, practicality questionnaires, observations, and interviews, analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The developed media achieved exceptional validity, with material quality rated at 93.33% and media quality at 90.00%, both categorized as "very valid." Practicality assessments revealed strong endorsement from teachers (86.67%) and students (92.90%), confirming the media's user-friendliness and pedagogical effectiveness. The Lalove integration enhanced student engagement and cultural appreciation. An unexpected finding revealed gender-differentiated participation patterns in collaborative technology use, warranting future investigation. The findings validate that culturally responsive digital media can simultaneously achieve pedagogical rigor and learner appeal. This study contributes the TPACK+C framework, extending traditional TPACK to incorporate cultural knowledge as an essential dimension for technology integration in culturally diverse contexts, providing a replicable model for developing culturally grounded educational technology.

Abstract

Violence in elementary schools has emerged as a critical national concern requiring systematic policy responses. Indonesia's Ministerial Regulation No. 46 of 2023 established School Violence Prevention and Handling Teams (TPPK) to create safe learning environments, yet implementation challenges persist across educational settings. This study analyzed TPPK policy implementation in Indonesian elementary schools using Edwards III's four-dimensional framework (communication, resources, disposition, bureaucratic structure) and examined local wisdom integration as a complementary violence prevention strategy. A systematic reflective literature review was conducted, synthesizing peer-reviewed journals, government regulations, and policy reports published primarily within 2019-2025. Content analysis employed Edwards III's theoretical dimensions to identify implementation patterns, challenges, and the role of cultural values. Findings revealed persistent implementation gaps attributable to inconsistent communication failing to build shared understanding, insufficient resource allocation constraining implementer capacity, dispositional orientations prioritizing compliance over commitment, and predominantly administrative bureaucratic structures. However, integration of Indonesian cultural values—gotong royong (mutual cooperation), tepa selira (empathetic respect), and musyawarah (deliberation)—demonstrated significant potential to strengthen implementer disposition and enhance policy effectiveness by fostering empathy and moral commitment. Effective TPPK implementation requires alignment across Edwards III's four dimensions, strengthened through cultural integration that transforms formal policies into contextually meaningful practices. Local wisdom functions as a mediating dimension permeating structural variables, suggesting that universal implementation theories require cultural adaptation across diverse sociocultural contexts to create safe, inclusive elementary school environments.

Abstract

Science literacy remains a critical challenge in elementary education, with many students struggling to connect scientific concepts to real-world contexts. This study investigated the effectiveness of implementing a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach to enhance science literacy among third-grade students in integrated IPAS learning within the Indonesian Merdeka Curriculum. A classroom action research design employing Kemmis and McTaggart's cyclical model was conducted over two cycles at SDN Cempaka Putih Barat 01, Central Jakarta, involving 32 third-grade students. Data were collected through performance-based assessments, systematic classroom observations, and documentation, with analysis following Miles and Huberman's interactive model. The intervention achieved substantial improvements in science literacy outcomes. Student pass rates increased dramatically from 43.75% at baseline to 71.87% after Cycle 1 and 90.63% after Cycle 2, while mean achievement scores rose from 66.47 to 74.71 and ultimately to 83.24. Observational data documented progressive improvements in both teacher pedagogical practices (2.58 to 2.87) and student engagement levels (1.96 to 2.23). The findings provide empirical evidence that STEAM-based instruction effectively enhances science literacy by promoting interdisciplinary integration, constructivist learning, and student-centered pedagogy. The results extend existing literature by demonstrating STEAM's effectiveness within the Indonesian educational context and offering detailed implementation insights for practitioners seeking evidence-based strategies to improve elementary science education.

Abstract

This study analyzes the trends and effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) in elementary mathematics education from 2019 to 2025. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted on 30 indexed articles selected using the PRISMA 2020 protocol. The findings reveal that 55% of the studies were conducted in Indonesia, indicating a strong geographical concentration. Quantitatively, the reviewed studies reported significant learning improvements, as evidenced by p-values below 0.05, effectiveness rates of up to 91%, user satisfaction reaching 95.6%, media feasibility scores ranging from 81% to 99%, and one study reporting a high N-Gain value of 0.90. In addition, AR was found to enhance conceptual understanding, geometric ability, spatial reasoning, and learning motivation, while also reducing students’ cognitive load. Despite its positive impact, several challenges remain, including variations in teacher readiness, infrastructure limitations, and the lack of long-term evaluation studies. Overall, AR functions not only as a visualization tool but also as a catalyst for more interactive, immersive, and student-centered mathematics learning. Future research is recommended to employ longitudinal designs, broaden participant contexts, and develop more adaptive AR-based learning models to strengthen empirical evidence in primary mathematics education.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on students’ critical thinking skills and learning autonomy in primary education, addressing the limited empirical evidence examining the simultaneous development of these competencies at the elementary school level in Indonesia. The research was conducted in a public elementary school in Bram Itam District involving two sixth-grade classes, Class VI A and Class VI B, each comprising 21 students. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group was employed, using a critical thinking test and a learning autonomy questionnaire as data collection instruments. The results indicated a substantial improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group, with mean critical thinking scores increasing from 68.10 to 84.29 and learning autonomy from 70.43 to 86.05. Independent samples t-test analysis revealed significant differences between groups for both critical thinking (t = 3.42, p < 0.05) and learning autonomy (t = 3.76, p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that PBL effectively enhances analytical reasoning and self-regulated learning among elementary students. The study supports the integration of PBL as a strategic instructional model to promote higher-order thinking and independent learning in alignment with 21st-century educational demands and the Kurikulum Merdeka reform.
