Abstract

Twenty-first century education demands deep conceptual understanding and applied abilities to address the challenges of modern learning. This study aims to identify the main difficulties faced by elementary school students in science subjects and propose relevant solution strategies to enhance learning effectiveness. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research integrates quantitative and qualitative analyses gathered from two IPAS teachers and thirty sixth-grade students through questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Results reveal that two topics ÔÇ£LetÔÇÖs Get to Know Our EarthÔÇØ (63.33%) and ÔÇ£Harmony in LifeÔÇØ (36.66%) are the most challenging, significantly affecting student engagement and comprehension during lessons. Various solution strategies, including the use of Canva media, spinning earth surface visualizations, LKPD worksheets, 3D sociodrama, and interactive animation videos, have demonstrably improved studentsÔÇÖ conceptual understanding and active participation. These findings highlight the importance of innovative media and contextual strategies in supporting more effective and meaningful science learning at the elementary level.

Abstract

The Hadrah Al-Jiduri art, rooted in the local Islamic tradition of ahlussunnah wal jamaÔÇÖah, serves as a cultural daÔÇÖwah strategy that not only preserves religious values but also fosters character building. This study aims to explore how the Hadrah Al-Jiduri community applies collective leadership, regional coordination, youth involvement, routine gatherings, and major religious events to shape moral traits such as humility (tawadhuÔÇÖ), consistency (istiqomah), love for the Prophet Muhammad SAW, tolerance, discipline, and spiritual awareness. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using Miles and HubermanÔÇÖs interactive model with triangulation for validity. The findings show that the structured and participatory practices of Hadrah Al-Jiduri effectively integrate local cultural wisdom into daÔÇÖwah activities, providing a replicable model for strengthening religious character and communal harmony.┬á┬á

Abstract

The lack of contextually relevant digital learning media rooted in local culture has contributed to low levels of interest and engagement among kindergarten children in learning moral values. This study aims to develop a local wisdom-based e-book from Aceh as an instructional medium to foster moral education in early childhood. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) combined with a descriptive quantitative method. The sample consisted of 18 children aged 5ÔÇô6 years. Data were collected through expert validation (media and content) and observations of child engagement during the e-book trial phase. The results indicated that the e-book was highly feasible, with media expert validation scores reaching 80%, content expert validation scores at 90%, and product trial results with children ranging from 92% to 100%. These findings demonstrate that digital media grounded in local wisdom can effectively enhance young childrenÔÇÖs engagement and understanding of moral values.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia offers flexibility in the implementation of learning; however, its application at the Early Childhood Education (PAUD) level faces various challenges. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at TK Andi Bintang, Palopo City, highlighting the challenges encountered during its execution. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The findings indicate that despite the curriculum's implementation, significant challenges persist, including limited resources, inadequate facilities, insufficient teacher understanding of the curriculum, and low parental involvement in the learning process. These challenges impact the effectiveness of the curriculum implementation, although the potential for children's development remains evident if these issues are addressed. The study emphasizes the need for further efforts to enhance teachers' understanding, improve facilities, and strengthen parental support in children's learning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of project-based farming gardening activities on collaboration and critical thinking skills of children aged 5ÔÇô6 years. The activity engages children in planning, planting, caring for, and harvesting plants for four weeks through a collaborative project that emphasizes joint decision-making, problem-solving, and individual and group responsibility. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was applied to 30 children from two kindergartens in Maduran District, Lamongan Regency, purposively divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through validated and reliable observation instruments, and analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in collaboration skills (t = 3.688, p = 0.00) and critical thinking skills (t = 2.369, p = 0.02) in the experimental group. These findings indicate that project-based farming gardening activities are effective in developing collaboration and critical thinking skills in early childhood and support the strengthening of 21st-century skills in early childhood education.┬á┬á

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum aims to promote differentiated learning practices in line with the diverse backgrounds of students in Indonesia. However, its implementation at the secondary school level still faces various challenges. This study aims to analyze the strategies and barriers encountered in the implementation of this curriculum. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with curriculum managers, supported by direct observation in the learning environment. Data analysis was conducted thematically, following the procedures of Braun and Clarke. The results revealed three main findings: the limited competencies of teachers in applying differentiated learning principles, disparities in access to digital learning resources, and low student involvement in the design of learning activities, which collectively hinder the effectiveness of the curriculum. These findings indicate that national curriculum reform cannot solely rely on policy design but requires strengthening context-based capacities at the educational unit level to realize the full potential of curriculum transformation effectively.

Abstract

Character education is designed to counteract the low moral ethics and weak character of students. In its implementation, continuous improvement and development are necessary. This study aims to compare the enhancement of character education in Islamic schools in Indonesia, with the sample of MI Muhammadiyah 5 Surabaya and in Thailand, with the sample of Phatnawitya School Yala. These two schools represent different yet complementary approaches in integrating character values into their respective education systems. This study adopts a qualitative method with a multi-case study design. The data is analysed with in-depth individual case analysis to understand the specific context of each school. Then, a constant comparative method is carried out to compare the results of each case to find the main patterns, differences, and themes. This study uses Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory as a theoretical framework, which views the development of individuals as influenced by the interaction between individuals and the various layers of the social environment that exist around them. The results of the study show that strengthening character education not only emphasizes cognitive aspects, but also integrates affective and psychomotor aspects harmoniously. At MI Muhammadiyah 5, character education focuses on Islamic values through habituation, character-based learning, and teacher role example. Meanwhile, Phatnawitya School Yala emphasises a religious attitude, empathy, and discipline in Islamic lessons, academic lessons, and the development of students' specialist skills. Despite being in different educational contexts, both schools managed to develop character education models that were relevant to their respective cultures and systems.
