Abstract

The Society 5.0 era poses significant challenges to character education in Indonesian Islamic secondary schools (madrasah), where digital disruption threatens to widen the gap between institutional moral objectives and students' actual behaviour. This study investigates the implementation of character values — religiosity, discipline, honesty, creativity, and responsibility — among students at MAN 2 Soppeng, South Sulawesi. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and 30 Grade XI students, complemented by observation and documentation. Analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model, with validity ensured through triangulation and member checks. Findings reveal that while character education is systematically delivered through habituation, role modelling, and extracurricular activities, internalisation remains uneven: student compliance is predominantly externally driven rather than grounded in autonomous moral awareness, with the most pronounced gaps in discipline and honesty. Theoretically, these results affirm the integrative relevance of Thomas Lickona's moral knowing–feeling–action framework and Vygotsky's social constructivism, demonstrating that sustainable character formation requires affectively rich, scaffolded, and dialogic pedagogical conditions. These findings contribute an integrative theoretical model applicable to madrasah character education in the Society 5.0 era.

Abstract

The rapid digitization of education demands accessible tools for managing learning devices in elementary schools. This study examines the implementation, effectiveness, and influence of teacher and student digital competence on microsite utilization as a low-cost solution for centralized learning device management at SD Negeri 4 Kuwaron. A qualitative single-case study design was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with seven teachers, the principal, and five students, supplemented by 12 hours of non-participant classroom observations and systematic documentation analysis of the school’s s.id microsite. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña with triangulation for trustworthiness. Microsites functioned primarily as centralized administrative repositories (66% static documents), delivering notable time savings and ease of access for teachers and enabling principal monitoring. Pedagogical features (interactive Quizizz embeds) were used in only 25% of observed lessons and exclusively by teachers with higher digital competence. Student access limitations led to deliberate low-bandwidth content adaptations. An unexpected finding was the emergence of access-log monitoring for informal home learning oversight. The findings strongly support Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations theory (relative advantage and compatibility) and the TPACK framework, while highlighting a staged adoption process in low-resource settings. Microsites serve as effective, scalable proxies for formal Learning Management Systems, offering practical implications for Merdeka Curriculum implementation despite infrastructure constraints.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a Snakes and Ladders learning medium integrating the Sawerigading folktale and local wisdom values for fifth-grade folklore instruction in Indonesian elementary schools. A Research and Development (R&D) design guided by the ADDIE model was employed, with one classroom teacher and 18 fifth-grade students at SDN 269 Lambatu, East Luwu Regency, as research subjects, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via observation, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, and analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. Needs analysis revealed that 100% of students preferred game-based learning, while teachers reported overreliance on conventional textbook-based instruction. The developed medium incorporated 36 game squares embedding comprehension questions and cultural reflection tasks drawn from the Sawerigading narrative. Expert validation yielded scores of 82.50% (media), 83.33% (content), and 80.00% (cultural), all within the valid to very valid category. Practicality testing produced scores of 91.56% from students and 91.66% from the teacher, both classified as very practical. These findings confirm that traditional game mechanics and regional folklore can be systematically synthesized into a culturally coherent and pedagogically sound instructional medium. This study contributes a replicable, ADDIE-based model for culturally responsive learning media development applicable across diverse regional contexts in Indonesia.

Abstract

Despite growing interest in principal leadership, empirical studies examining how strategic management practices at the elementary school level translate into concrete learning quality improvements remain limited, particularly in underserved local contexts. This study aimed to analyze the principal's strategic management practices in school revitalization efforts and their implications for improving learning quality at SDN Inti Tomoli, Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, structured observations, and student questionnaires involving the principal, teachers, school committee members, and 28 students from Grades IV–VI. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Five interconnected strategic management dimensions were identified: participatory learning planning aligned with the Independent Curriculum, teacher competency development, facilities revitalization with transparent budget governance, empowerment-based resource organization, and multi-stakeholder evaluation. These practices produced measurable improvements in instructional quality, student motivation, and school culture. A notable finding was that participatory organizational structures did not fully resolve disparities in teacher technology access. The findings confirm that principal strategic management is central to successful elementary school revitalization and sustainable learning quality improvement, while extending the literature by foregrounding budget transparency and culturally responsive pedagogy as consequential dimensions of effective revitalization management.

Abstract

This study examined the role of Torata Dance-based learning in fostering character education among elementary school students at SD Negeri Tondo, Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study was motivated by the persistent gap in empirical research on how specific local traditional dances function as systematic pedagogical instruments for character formation. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, involving 29 third-grade students and one arts teacher as participants. Data were collected through structured observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles et al.'s interactive model. Findings reveal that Torata Dance instruction, delivered through culturally mediated sequential stages, cultivated five core character values — religiosity, discipline, responsibility, love for the homeland, and social care — through embodied practice and teacher-guided cultural explanation. A particularly notable finding is that value internalization was not a spontaneous outcome of dance participation but was systematically shaped by the teacher's pedagogical intentionality and capacity to integrate cultural meanings into instructional sequences. These results affirm that local cultural dance, when pedagogically mediated, constitutes an effective and contextually relevant vehicle for holistic character education, contributing empirical evidence to discussions on culturally responsive pedagogy and arts-based moral formation in elementary schooling.

Abstract

Academic supervision is widely recognized as a strategic mechanism for improving instructional quality in primary schools; however, studies that emphasize a humanistic and collaborative supervision model within the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum remain limited. This study aims to examine the implementation of academic supervision by the principal and its contribution to improving teachers’ professional competence and learning quality at SD Pedurungan Kidul 05. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study explored supervision practices as they naturally occurred in the school context. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving the principal, classroom teachers, and educational staff. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, while credibility was ensured through triangulation of sources and methods. The findings reveal that academic supervision was implemented systematically through pre-observation, classroom observation, and post-observation stages, applying a humanistic and collaborative approach. This supervision model positioned teachers as professional partners, encouraging reflective teaching and continuous improvement. As a result, teachers showed notable improvements in lesson planning, differentiated instructional strategies, classroom management, and formative assessment practices aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. These changes contributed to more student-centered learning and increased student engagement. This study offers empirical evidence that humanistic academic supervision strengthens instructional practices and supports sustainable learning quality improvement in primary education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Inquiry learning model assisted by concrete media on student learning outcomes in the material of force effects on objects in grade IV SD Inpres Bumi Sagu. This study uses a quantitative method with a Quasi Experiment design using Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research subjects involved class IV A as the control class (19 students) and class IV B as the experimental class (19 students). The instruments used included learning outcome tests in the form of 22 multiple-choice questions that had been tested for validity and reliability, as well as interview guidelines to explore students' learning experiences. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using Independent Sample T-Test. The research results show that the average pretest score of the experimental class was 53.95, increasing to 90.37 on the posttest, while the control class increased from 63.21 to 81.74. The Independent Sample T-Test shows a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, which means Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. Interview results support the quantitative findings, showing that students in the experimental class experienced increased conceptual understanding, learning motivation, and critical thinking skills. Students in the low, medium, and high categories all felt the benefits of more meaningful learning through direct experience with concrete media. Thus, the Inquiry learning model assisted by concrete media is proven effective in improving student learning outcomes in science learning on the material of force effects on objects in grade IV SD Inpres Bumi Sagu.

Abstract

Effective classroom management is fundamental to fostering student learning discipline, yet empirical evidence from rural, resource-constrained elementary schools remains limited. This study examined how teachers' classroom management strategies contribute to creating a conducive learning environment and improving student discipline in such an underrepresented context.  A qualitative descriptive design was employed at SDN Inpres Sumondung, Banggai Islands Regency, Central Sulawesi. One Grade III classroom teacher and four students were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via structured classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles et al.'s (2014) interactive model,  comprising data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing ,  with triangulation to ensure trustworthiness.  Five classroom management strategies were consistently observed: collaborative rule-setting, flexible physical environment arrangement, structured instructional time management, persuasive teacher–student interaction, and systematic positive reinforcement. Student learning discipline was predominantly demonstrated through punctual attendance and assignment completion, while rule compliance during learning remained partial.  These strategies collectively fostered a participatory and relational classroom climate that supported student discipline even under severe infrastructural constraints. Notably, teacher-improvised micro-zone arrangements produced unexpected reductions in off-task behavior, suggesting that spatial agency can partially compensate for resource deficits.  Adaptive, relational, and participatory classroom management practices can effectively cultivate learning discipline in rural elementary schools, advancing the proposition that teacher agency, not resource adequacy, constitutes the primary determinant of management effectiveness.

Abstract

Learning interest is a multidimensional psychological construct that critically shapes students’ academic engagement and outcomes in elementary science education. Empirical evidence on its disaggregated indicator profile in Integrated Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) under Indonesia’s Independent Curriculum remains limited, particularly in rural school contexts. This descriptive quantitative study examined learning interest among 15 fifth-grade students at Porame State Elementary School, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi. Data were collected via a validated 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.81) across four indicators: subject interest, student attention, feelings of enjoyment, and active engagement, analyzed using univariate percentage analysis. The overall learning interest score was 72.75% (high), with attention reaching the very high level (88.33%), while subject interest (67.33%), enjoyment (68.00%), and active engagement (67.33%) each fell in the moderate range. Notably, only 46.66% of students studied independently in the teacher’s absence. This attention–engagement divergence suggests that high behavioral compliance does not necessarily reflect deep affective or autonomous engagement, a pattern characteristic of teacher-centered instructional contexts. Findings contribute to the reconceptualization of learning interest as an asymmetrically developing construct and call for inquiry-based, locally contextualized IPAS instruction to foster genuine student engagement.

Abstract

Parental involvement is widely recognized as a critical determinant of children's reading comprehension development; however, its specific mechanisms and constraints within the Indonesian elementary school context remain insufficiently understood.  This study aimed to describe the nature of parental roles in supporting Indonesian language learning at home, analyze students' reading comprehension profiles, and identify structural barriers inhibiting effective parental engagement.  A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed with 40 parent–student dyads at a state elementary school in Garut City. Data were collected through a validated Likert-scale questionnaire (α = 0.87), a reading comprehension test (α = 0.83), and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.  The majority of students (45.0%) performed at the Adequate level, with pronounced deficits in inferential and evaluative comprehension. Overall parental involvement was moderate (M = 2.53), characterized predominantly by reactive rather than proactive engagement. Three intersecting structural barriers were identified: occupational time constraints, parental literacy competency gaps, and digital media displacement.  Parental disengagement reflects structural constraints rather than motivational deficits, underscoring the need for accessible, evidence-based family literacy programs targeting higher-order comprehension support in Indonesian elementary education.
