Abstract

This study investigates the influence of principal leadership, school work environment, and teacher competence on the performance of teachers in a public elementary school in Depok District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research adopts a quantitative method with an explanatory approach, involving 98 teachers selected through simple random sampling. Data were gathered using structured questionnaires that had undergone validity and reliability testing, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results show that teacher competence contributes the highest influence on teacher performance (40.2%), followed by the work environment (36.8%), and principal leadership (32.5%). These findings highlight the critical role of professional development, a supportive school climate, and transformational leadership in enhancing teaching effectiveness. Furthermore, the study reveals that hierarchical or top-down supervision without adequate teacher involvement may negatively impact performance. Therefore, it is recommended that school leaders adopt a collaborative leadership model, provide conducive work conditions, and continuously invest in teacher training. The study provides empirical evidence that can inform education policymakers and school administrators in developing strategies to improve instructional quality in Indonesian primary schools. Future research should consider broader samples and explore longitudinal impacts across diverse school contexts.

Abstract

The use of interactive digital learning materials, such as electronic modules based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL), is one way the education sector is adapting to technological advances in the Society 5.0 era. This digital transformation requires innovation in learning methods to prepare a generation with 21st-century skills. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the trends in the implementation and impact of the use of e-modules based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in Science Education at the elementary school level. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, this article reviews 20 national and international journals published between 2021 and 2025. The study results indicate that PBL-based e-modules are effective in enhancing various cognitive skills among students, including critical thinking, scientific literacy, problem-solving abilities, and overall learning outcomes. Additionally, PBL e-modules demonstrate high levels of validity and practicality, making them suitable and applicable teaching materials. However, their implementation faces challenges such as limited digital infrastructure, insufficient teacher readiness, and the need for long-term effectiveness analysis and differentiation for students with special needs. This study provides a comprehensive synthesis of the development of PBL e-modules in the field of elementary education and offers strategic recommendations for further research and development, including the exploration of integration with cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR).

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the SQ3R learning model on students’ cognitive learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) for seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Bandar Lampung. A quasi-experimental method with a posttest-only control group design was employed. The sample comprised two randomly selected classes: an experimental group (N = 32) taught using the SQ3R model and a control group (N = 32) taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through a validated and reliable multiple-choice posttest assessing cognitive domains of understanding (C2), analyzing (C4), and evaluating (C6). Data analysis included normality testing (Kolmogorov-Smirnov), homogeneity of variance (Levene’s test), independent samples t-test, and effect size calculation (Cohen’s d). Results revealed a statistically significant difference between groups (t(62) = 2.71, p = 0.009), with the experimental group achieving a higher mean score (M = 79.15, SD = 6.10) compared to the control group (M = 73.20, SD = 7.30). The effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.88) indicated a large effect. These findings confirm that the SQ3R model significantly enhances students’ cognitive learning outcomes, particularly in higher-order thinking skills. The study supports implementing the SQ3R learning strategy as a practical approach to improve academic performance in Islamic Religious Education.

Abstract

Low poetry comprehension and limited emotional engagement among elementary students remain persistent challenges in Indonesian language instruction. This classroom action research aimed to improve students' poetry comprehension and social-emotional skills through the integration of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) elements within the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. The study was conducted in two cycles involving 24 fourth-grade students at SDN Pengkol 01, Sukoharjo. The research applied the Kemmis and McTaggart spiral model, which includes the stages of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Data were collected through observation sheets and written tests and analyzed using percentage techniques for completeness criteria. The results from the pre-cycle showed that only 8 students (37.88%) achieved the minimum score of 70. In cycle I, the average score increased to 70.16 with 13 students (59.02%) achieving completeness. However, the criteria for classical completeness (70%) had not yet been fulfilled. In cycle II, after improvements in learning strategies and the reinforcement of SEL components—such as self-awareness, social awareness, and relationship skills—students' performance significantly improved. The class average reached 95.75 with 22 students (94%) achieving completeness. The study concludes that integrating SEL into PBL in poetry learning not only enhances cognitive outcomes but also fosters students' emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. This approach contributes to more meaningful and holistic learning in the Indonesian language curriculum. The success indicators being met in both cognitive and affective domains confirm the effectiveness of this integrated model for primary school poetry instruction.

Abstract

Literacy and numeracy skills are important foundations that determine students' academic success at the primary school level. However, their achievement is still facing obstacles, mainly due to limited access to technology and the dominance of traditional learning methods. The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing technology-based creative learning in improving literacy and numeracy competencies through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach of 25 selected journals, consisting of 15 international and 10 national journals published in the last five years, from 2019 to 2024. The literature search process was conducted through Scopus, ERIC, Google Scholar, Sinta, and Garuda databases using keywords such as creative learning technology, numeracy digital literacy, and basic education. Journal selection was done systematically based on inclusion criteria, namely: (1) relevance to the topic of numeracy-literacy in basic education, (2) containing elements of technology use in the learning process, (3) based on empirical or experimental research, and (4) available in full access. The journal quality evaluation used the CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme) approach to assess clarity of purpose, methodology and validity of findings. The results of this literature review show that the use of technologies such as gamification, augmented reality (AR) and adaptive platforms can increase student engagement by up to 80%, strengthen understanding of literacy and numeracy concepts between 25-40%, and hone collaborative and critical thinking skills by 35-50%. The most successful implementation strategies include the integration of technology in problem based learning projects and the use of personalised learning apps, which have been shown to consistently improve learning outcomes across different school contexts. However, the implementation of these strategies is still constrained by structural issues, such as limited digital infrastructure with only 30% of schools in remote areas having stable internet access and low teacher preparedness, where around 45% of teachers do not have adequate training in the use of advanced technology. The conclusion of this article states that technology-based creative learning approaches have the potential to be effective innovative solutions, provided they are supported by adequate infrastructure, continuous teacher training and the implementation of hybrid learning models that combine technology with local context based approaches. Policy recommendations are directed at developing offline learning modules for remote areas and strengthening further research based on local wisdom.
