Abstract

This study explores the potential of Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media integrated with ethnomathematics to enhance students’ spatial ability in the context of teaching 3D geometry to fifth-grade elementary students. Spatial ability, which includes spatial perception, mental rotation, spatial visualization, spatial relations, and spatial orientation, is a critical cognitive skill for understanding geometric concepts. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method was employed to identify, evaluate, and synthesize findings from 15 studies related to the use of AR and ethnomathematics in mathematics education. The review reveals that AR offers significant advantages in presenting three-dimensional geometric objects interactively, visually, and concretely, which improves students' comprehension of abstract spatial relationships and enhances mental manipulation of objects. Additionally, the integration of ethnomathematics provides contextual learning experiences by linking mathematical content to students’ cultural backgrounds, thereby increasing engagement and motivation. These findings support the Van Hiele theory, emphasizing the importance of gradual stages in geometric understanding. The combination of AR and ethnomathematics not only deepens spatial reasoning but also promotes meaningful and culturally relevant learning experiences. Future studies should further explore the impact of AR-based ethnomathematical media through empirical classroom-based research and assess its long-term effects on students’ mathematical thinking and spatial abilities. The 21 students selected for the classroom trials were chosen through purposive sampling, ensuring the sample’s relevance to the study context.

Abstract

Speaking skills are one of the essential competencies in Indonesian language learning at elementary schools. However, initial observations in class V.B at SD Negeri 151/IV Jambi City showed that most students still experienced difficulties in expressing ideas orally, characterized by lack of confidence and limited vocabulary usage. This study aims to improve the speaking skills of Grade V.B students of SD Negeri 151/IV Jambi City by implementing the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model combined with the Show and Tell method. Speaking skills are an important aspect in language learning that reflect students' ability to express ideas coherently and confidently. This research involved 25 fifth-grade students and was conducted over two cycles using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method. Data collection techniques included observation, testing, and documentation. The study results showed that before the intervention, students' speaking skills were still low, marked by a soft voice, limited vocabulary, and anxiety when speaking in public. After the implementation of PjBL and Show and Tell, there was a significant increase in confidence, fluency, and the organization of ideas when speaking. In Cycle I, the class average score increased from 69 (pre-action) to 76, and in Cycle II it rose further to 83. The percentage of students meeting the minimum competency increased from 32% in the pre-action stage to 84% in Cycle I, and reached 92% in Cycle II. The application of this combined method had a positive impact on students' speaking skills by encouraging active participation, critical thinking, and collaboration. Therefore, the integration of Project-Based Learning and Show and Tell is recommended as an effective instructional strategy for enhancing speaking skills in elementary school students.

Abstract

The curriculum changes in Indonesia, from KTSP to the Merdeka Curriculum, aim to improve the quality of education by emphasizing 21st-century skills and the Pancasila Student Profile. One of the key aspects of the Merdeka Curriculum is the implementation of authentic assessment, which encompasses affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains. However, many teachers face difficulties in understanding and applying this, particularly in reading skills. This study aims to analyze teachers’ perceptions of the implementation of authentic assessment in reading skills at SDN 205/IV in Jambi City. The research employs a qualitative approach using a phenomenological study. Data were collected through observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed inductively using thematic coding, verification, and data triangulation. The findings show that teachers’ understanding of authentic assessment varies. Five fourth-grade teachers experienced difficulties in its implementation due to time constraints, lack of training, and low student motivation in reading. Authentic assessments were carried out through observation, written tests, oral tests, and the provision of feedback to enhance students’ understanding. To overcome these challenges, teachers applied strategies such as observation journals, differentiated instruction, and reflective discussion techniques to improve the effectiveness of reading instruction.

Abstract

The rapid growth of technology has had a significant impact on the lifestyle of pre-teens, especially those belonging to the Alpha generation. This study explores the role of digital parenting in shaping the behavior and academic performance of sixth-grade students at Stella Maris Private Elementary School in Jambi City. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews with parents, teachers, and students. This study involved 4 sixth-grade students. The findings reveal that most parents apply a democratic parenting style, which allows children to explore digital media with appropriate guidance and boundaries. This method has proven effective in helping children balance digital exposure with academic responsibilities. Conversely, authoritarian and neglectful parenting styles are rarely applied due to their negative impact on children's emotional and social development. Permissive parenting, while offering freedom, tends to lead to a lack of discipline and declining academic performance. The study concludes that democratic parenting, when integrated with clear digital media usage rules, plays a crucial role in supporting the development of pre-teens in the digital era. Practical implications of these findings highlight the importance of parents' role in setting clear boundaries for digital media use, as well as adopting a parenting style that supports children's emotional, social, and academic development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the need for developing interactive educational game-based evaluation media to enhance elementary school students' understanding of the human digestive system. The research is grounded in constructivist learning theory, which emphasizes active, engaging, and student-centered learning. The problem addressed is the dominance of conventional paper-and-pencil evaluations, which are considered less effective and less engaging. This study used a survey method involving 20 fifth-grade students and 5 science teachers as respondents. Data were collected using a Guttman scale questionnaire and analyzed quantitatively. Findings reveal that 75% of students found it easier to understand material through interactive media, and 65% preferred game-based learning over textbooks. Meanwhile, 100% of teachers still use conventional evaluations, with 75% acknowledging that the current media is not engaging for students. The study concludes that there is a strong need to develop interactive educational game-based evaluation tools. These tools can improve student motivation and provide teachers with faster, more accurate feedback, supporting more effective science learning in elementary education.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of learning based on the local wisdom of the Maataa tradition on improving the cultural literacy of elementary school students. Method: The research approach used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design in the form of a pretest-posttest control group design without randomization. The research subjects consisted of 61 fifth-grade students at SDN 63 Buton, divided into two groups: experimental (n = 31) and control (n = 30). The experimental group received learning based on Maataa traditions, while the control group received conventional learning. The intervention was conducted over three weeks with two learning sessions per week. The research measurement tool was a cultural literacy essay test that had undergone expert validation and reliability testing (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.622). Data analysis was performed using an independent samples t-test and N-gain test. Results: The study results showed a significant increase in average scores from pre-test to post-test in the experimental group (from 70.8 to 92.9) compared to the control group (from 70 to 88.7). The t-test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Additionally, the N-gain score of the experimental group was 0.76 (high category), while the N-gain score of the control group was 0.62 (moderate category). These findings indicate that learning based on the local wisdom of the Maataa tradition effectively enhances students' cultural literacy. Implications: These results emphasize the importance of integrating local cultural values into the learning process as a contextual pedagogical strategy that supports the strengthening of cultural identity and student engagement in social studies learning at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This research explores the integration of ethnoscience within the traditional batik-making process in Sidoarjo as a contextual learning resource for elementary school students. The study aims to identify scientific concepts embedded in local cultural practices and analyze their relevance to the IPAS (Integrated Science and Social Studies) curriculum. Using a qualitative ethnographic method, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation at Batik Tulis Al-Huda in Sidoarjo. Findings reveal that each stage of the batik process—from molani (sketching motifs), malemi (applying wax), nyolet (coloring), to nglorod (wax removal)—reflects basic scientific principles such as heat transfer, changes in states of matter, diffusion, and evaporation. These concepts align with key IPAS learning objectives at the elementary level. The study highlights how incorporating local wisdom into science education can foster scientific literacy, cultural identity, and contextual understanding among students. The research contributes to the development of culturally responsive teaching strategies and supports the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn) curriculum by linking classroom content to students’ cultural environment. It is recommended that future studies expand to other regions and examine how ethnoscience-based resources impact student learning outcomes. This study includes 25 references, 7 observation photos, and qualitative analysis tables to support the findings.

Abstract

This study is significant because it addresses the critical issue of secondary school dropout rates in Raja Ampat, a region with unique geographic and socio-economic challenges. By evaluating the strategies of the Department of Education, identifying key contributing factors, and assessing intervention efforts, this study provides actionable insights to improve education policies and programs. This study was conducted in 2024 using data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. The validity of the data in this study used qualitative methods, so that validity testing using triangulation techniques was carried out by including time for observation, interviews, and documentation. These findings can help policymakers, educators, and local stakeholders in designing targeted solutions to improve access to and completion of compulsory basic education, which ultimately drives long-term social and economic development in underserved island communities. This study uncovers gaps in policy implementation, such as a 30% shortage in teacher coverage and only 40% of schools meeting facility standards, while identifying root causes such as poverty (where 60% of dropouts cited financial constraints) and remote access (45% of villages do not have adequate school infrastructure). Despite these challenges, the Pursuit School Program increased enrollment by 200 students in West Waigeo District (2022–2023) and the study findings suggest that the Department of Education’s strategy for completing compulsory education is still lacking. In addition, this study contributes to SDG 4 (Quality Education) by advocating for context-specific solutions to reduce gaps in completion of compulsory education, offering a model for similar areas facing similar challenges.
