Abstract

Background:This study aims to describe studies related to how ICT is utilized and the obstacles to the utilization of ICT in 21st century learning in elementary schools. Method:This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach and a type of library research or (literature review). The data analysis technique used is content analysis. The validity of the data used is the persistence of observation and triangulation of sources. Result:The results of the study showed that some teachers have used learning media, both ICT and NON-ICT, to support learning, some class teachers do not use learning media for reasons of limited costs and inefficiency in making media, as well as inadequate ICT skills of teachers, hindering communication between teachers and students or even between students, the possibility of misuse of the use of ICT media in the field of education. In the use of computer media, there are obstacles and constraints such as application errors when used, and technical symptoms of electricity such as power outages. Communication that occurs in learning is still less effective, because in some classes there are still students who are embarrassed to ask, or no one asks questions, so the teacher assumes that students already understand the material that has been delivered. Implication:This study is the importance of improving teacher competence in utilizing ICT optimally to support 21st century learning in elementary schools. The results of this study indicate that although the use of ICT can improve the quality of learning, there are various obstacles, such as limited facilities and lack of teacher ability to integrate technology effectively. Novelty:This research is based on an in-depth understanding of the challenges faced in implementing ICT in primary schools, especially in rural areas, which provides new insights for the development of more targeted policies and training.

The research focuses on the journalism program at SD Muhammadiyah 1 Ketelan Surakarta, which serves as a model for integrating literacy development into extracurricular practices. Purpose: The aims of this research are to describe the implementation of journalism extracurricular activities, examine the process of developing students' writing and critical thinking skills through these activities, and identify the obstacles and solutions encountered during implementation. Method: A descriptive qualitative method with a case study design was used. Data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews involving eight informants consisting of teachers and students. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The credibility of the data was ensured through triangulation of techniques and sources. Results: The study revealed that the journalism extracurricular activities were implemented with clear planning, objectives, structured execution, and formative assessment. Students’ writing skills were developed through various activities such as writing short stories, personal narratives, and news clippings using step-by-step writing stages. Critical thinking skills were fostered through tasks that involved analyzing information and expressing ideas coherently in writing. Key obstacles included the diversity of student abilities and inconsistent writing proficiency. Solutions included personalized teacher support, motivational strategies, and selective grouping of students. Implications: The findings highlight that journalism extracurricular activities have strong potential to support literacy and critical thinking development in primary school students. With adequate planning, supportive mentorship, and contextual learning experiences, such programs can serve as effective platforms for cultivating essential 21st-century skills.

Abstract

Background: Science Process Skills (KPS) are crucial in preparing students to meet the challenges of the 4.0 industrial era, emphasizing critical thinking and scientific reasoning from an early age. However, conventional teaching methods without adequate media assistance often result in passive learning environments. Innovative teaching models supported by appropriate media are essential to enhance students' scientific competencies. Objective: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the Visualization, Auditory, Kinesthetic (VAK) learning model assisted by video media and Prezi software on improving the science process skills of fifth-grade students at MIM PK Kartasura. Method: A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group was used. The sample consisted of 55 fifth-grade students, divided into two experimental groups: one group was treated with Prezi software, and the other with video media. Data were collected through tests validated for content and construct validity and analyzed using prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity) followed by hypothesis testing with paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests. Results: The findings revealed significant improvements in students’ science process skills in both groups after the interventions. However, the video media group showed a higher increase in average scores compared to the Prezi software group. Statistical analysis indicated that video media was more effective than Prezi software in enhancing students' science process skills. Conclusion: The VAK learning model assisted by video media proved to be more effective in developing the science process skills of elementary students compared to the use of Prezi software. The results suggest that integrating video media into science instruction can significantly enhance critical learning competencies, serving as a valuable reference for educators in designing engaging and effective learning environments.

Abstract

Background: This study evaluates the language feasibility of the Grade 1 student textbook on the theme Kegemaranku (My Favorites) from the 2013 Curriculum published by the Ministry of Education and Culture, focusing on its conformity to students' developmental levels, communicative effectiveness, and the coherence of its content structure. Method: A qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis was employed. The data were collected from the Kegemaranku textbook and analyzed through an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, based on the BSNP (National Education Standards Agency) textbook assessment guidelines. Results: The analysis revealed that the textbook achieved high feasibility scores: 94.79% for conformity with student development, 92.70% for communicativeness, and 96.35% for the alignment and integration of thought flow. These results categorize the textbook as "very feasible" across all assessed dimensions, although minor inconsistencies were found in explaining abstract concepts and applying Indonesian language rules in certain sub-themes. Implication: The findings suggest that the textbook can effectively support Grade 1 students’ cognitive, social-emotional, and language development. However, continual monitoring and refinement are recommended to ensure even higher linguistic clarity and developmental alignment, which are critical for achieving curriculum goals. Novelty: This study offers a comprehensive and specific evaluation of language feasibility in early grade textbooks by integrating indicators of communicative clarity and developmental appropriateness based on the 2013 Curriculum. It highlights the need for systematic textbook reviews even for materials officially endorsed by national education authorities.
