Abstract

This study investigates the efforts of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in enhancing student academic achievement and examines whether these efforts contribute to improved learning outcomes. Conducted at MTs Swasta  Darul Ulum North Bekasi from October 2023 to December 2024, the research adopts a qualitative approach to explore the relationship between teacher interventions and student performance. The study identifies several strategies employed by PAI teachers, including the use of contextually appropriate and engaging teaching methods, the integration of inspirational stories from prophets and companions, academic guidance and counseling, the application of the Merdeka curriculum, enrichment activities, targeted remediation, regular assignments, and monthly assessments. Findings reveal that while the improvement in student achievement is gradual and not drastically significant, the consistent and diverse efforts of PAI teachers in Grade 8 contribute positively to learning outcomes. The study concludes that sustained pedagogical interventions, rooted in both motivational and academic support, can progressively enhance student performance in Islamic education.

Abstract

Many lower-grade elementary school students in Indonesia exhibit behavioral issues such as indiscipline, irresponsibility, and lack of empathy, often attributed to language learning approaches that emphasize cognitive development while neglecting affective dimensions. This study aims to explore and analyze the implementation of story-based learning strategies as an innovative approach to reinforce character education among early-grade students. Employing a literature review method, the study draws upon scholarly books, peer-reviewed journals, and relevant academic reports as data sources. The data were examined through content analysis to uncover recurring themes, conceptual linkages, and significant pedagogical insights. The findings reveal that storytelling possesses strong potential for moral value internalization, aligning well with the cognitive and emotional development stages of young learners. The study concludes that story-based learning is an effective, integrative strategy for embedding character education within Indonesian language instruction, offering a holistic approach to shaping positive student behavior.

Abstract

This study addresses the low learning outcomes of elementary school students in understanding the transformation of heat energy into motion energy, particularly due to the predominance of conventional teaching methods and the limited use of concrete instructional media. It examines whether pinwheel lantern media effectively improves the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at State Elementary School 106156 Klumpang Kebun. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was employed. The study involved 40 fourth-grade students divided into an experimental group taught using pinwheel lantern media and a control group taught using audiovisual media. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation and analyzed using normality, homogeneity, independent-samples t-tests, and normalized gain analysis. The findings revealed that the experimental group’s mean score increased from 57.75 on the pretest to 82.50 on the posttest. The hypothesis test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), while the normalized gain reached 59.82%, indicating moderate effectiveness. These findings demonstrate that pinwheel lantern media provides an effective concrete learning medium for improving students’ understanding and learning outcomes regarding heat-to-motion energy transformation.

Abstract

The transformation of elementary education in the twenty-first century requires schools to establish a sustainable quality culture that extends beyond administrative compliance and becomes embedded in everyday educational practices. This study examines the challenges encountered by elementary schools in developing a school-based quality culture and identifies strategic approaches for strengthening its implementation. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, the study synthesizes scholarly literature concerning quality culture, educational leadership, school-based management, teacher professional development, and educational innovation. The findings reveal that the development of a quality culture is constrained by inconsistent leadership commitment, limited teacher participation, resistance to organizational change, insufficient professional development, and the weak integration of continuous evaluation into school practices. Effective implementation requires transformational and participatory leadership, collaborative teacher engagement, data-informed decision-making, continuous professional development, systematic quality evaluation, and context-responsive school innovation. The study concludes that a sustainable school-based quality culture depends on integrating leadership, professional collaboration, evidence-based evaluation, and continuous improvement into the organizational practices of elementary schools. Such integration enables schools to strengthen institutional capacity, improve teaching and learning quality, and adaptively to the evolving demands of twenty-first-century education.

Abstract

Inclusive education seeks to ensure equitable and meaningful learning opportunities for all children, including those with special educational needs, regardless of differences in abilities, backgrounds, or physical and psychological conditions. Nevertheless, its implementation in Indonesia continues to face challenges related to limited specialized support teachers, insufficient teacher training, and persistent social stigma. This study examines effective instructional strategies for children with special educational needs and identifies approaches that can support meaningful learning in inclusive educational settings. Using a qualitative literature review, the study analyzes relevant scholarly literature on inclusive education, instructional practices, and curriculum adaptation. The findings indicate that differentiated instruction, curriculum modification, Individualized Education Programs, and Universal Design for Learning can accommodate diverse learning needs and enhance students’ participation in the learning process. The analysis further demonstrates that effective implementation requires sustained collaboration among teachers, parents, and relevant professionals. The study concludes that a holistic, adaptive, and collaborative instructional approach is essential for establishing equitable and meaningful inclusive learning environments while enabling children with special educational needs to develop their potential optimally.

Abstract

This study addresses the need for sustained English-speaking practice among university students learning English as a foreign language by investigating the implementation of an English-speaking-zone setting and its perceived contribution to speaking fluency in an English Conversation II course at a private university in Pontianak, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative narrative inquiry design, the study involved twenty second-semester students from the English Language and Culture Study Program selected through total population sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic narrative analysis involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed three interconnected stages of implementation: planning, action, and evaluation. Language regulations, teacher supervision, peer support, and language-supporting activities encouraged regular English use, while students reported improvements in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammatical control, and speaking confidence. Nevertheless, limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, hesitation, inconsistent use of English, and insufficiently systematic evaluation remained persistent challenges. The study concludes that an English-speaking-zone setting can provide a supportive environment for sustained speaking practice when reinforced by continuous supervision, meaningful communicative opportunities, and systematic evaluation.
