Abstract

A common problem that is often encountered is that students are not active enough in classroom learning. The large number of passive students can lower student achievement and even prevent the achievement of predetermined learning outcomes. This study will focus on the implementation of the class star program. This program aims to support active student participation during the learning process. The research method involves students as subjects and teachers as implementers of the program. The program will last for 4 weeks and involve 25 students. A questionnaire will be given to teachers who implement the class program in their classrooms. The star results show that student participation increased, with an average of 6.16 stars per student. Participation was categorized as low (<5 stars) for 10 students (40%), moderate (5-9 stars) for 11 students (44%), and high (≥10 stars) for 4 students (16%). This shows a positive trend in student participation in the classroom. The results of the questionnaire show that teachers agree that the star student program can increase students' courage in expressing their opinions, their enthusiasm in answering questions from teachers after the material has been presented, and encourage a competitive classroom atmosphere through students' desire to get high grades. Teachers feel that this program is easy to implement in learning activities.

Abstract

Early childhood education plays an important role in fostering children's interest in learning as a foundation for readiness for further education. Children aged 5–6 years need a learning approach that is fun, meaningful, and appropriate to their developmental characteristics. The singing method is one relevant learning strategy because it integrates language, rhythm, movement, and emotion into the learning process. This study aims to analyze and describe the implementation of the singing method in increasing the learning interest of 5-6 year old children at Baqiyatus Shalihat Indonesia Early Childhood Education Center, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors of its implementation, and examine teachers' perceptions and experiences regarding the effectiveness of this method. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation of learning activities, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the singing method was implemented in a planned manner in accordance with the learning theme and was able to increase children's enthusiasm, activity, and interest in participating in learning activities. Supporting factors include teacher competence, institutional support, and availability of facilities, while inhibiting factors include limited song variety and differences in children's characteristics. Teachers view the singing method as an effective, enjoyable, and meaningful learning strategy in increasing the learning interest of early childhood.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low listening skills of elementary school students caused by the lack of use of interesting and interactive learning media. In addition, the importance of early landslide disaster mitigation education is also a concern in learning. This study aims to describe the development process and determine the effectiveness of digital media based on Grok.ai and Canva in improving the listening skills of third-grade elementary school students. This study used a descriptive quantitative method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 22 students. Data collection techniques were carried out through pretest and posttest tests, then analyzed using normality tests, paired sample t-tests, and N-Gain calculations. The results showed that the average pretest score of 56.97 increased to 83.64 in the posttest. The t-test results showed a significance value <0.05, indicating a significant difference, and the N-Gain value of 0.6617 is in the moderate category. Thus, digital media based on Grok.ai and Canva are effective in improving students' listening skills. This research has implications for the use of AI-based technology in innovative learning and has the potential to be developed into other materials.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of parents in shaping the religious character of early childhood at TKQ Daarul Mu'minin Buaran Serpong, as well as to identify the factors that influence and the obstacles encountered in the process. The formation of religious character in early childhood is an important aspect of education because at this stage of development, children are very receptive to the values, attitudes, and behaviors that will shape their personalities in the future. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and parents of students as research informants. The results show that parents play an important role in shaping children's religious character through the habit of worship, providing examples of religious behavior, and assisting in daily religious activities. Factors that support this role include parents' awareness of the importance of religious education, a religious family environment, and cooperation between parents and schools. The obstacles faced include parents' limited time and the influence of the digital environment. This study emphasizes the importance of synergy between families and schools in supporting the formation of children's religious character from an early age.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low reading comprehension ability of elementary school students and the limited use of engaging digital learning media, particularly in forest fire mitigation materials. This study aimed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using an e-comic entitled “Forest Fire” developed using Canva and presented through a flipbook website to improve fourth-grade students’ reading comprehension skills. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design using a one group pretest–posttest design. The subjects were 15 fourth-grade students of SDN Lidah Kulon IV. Data were collected through tests and interviews and analyzed using the N-gain formula. The results showed that the average pretest score of 12.93 increased to 14.67 in the posttest, with an N-gain value of 0.57, categorized as moderate. This indicates that the use of Canva-based e-comics and flipbooks was moderately effective in improving students’ reading comprehension skills. The media enhanced students’ reading interest, engagement, and understanding through visual and narrative presentation. Therefore, e-comics can serve as an innovative digital learning medium to support literacy development in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low effectiveness of reading instruction in elementary schools, which has not fully linked the material to the students’ sociocultural context, as well as the lack of integration of diversity values into teaching materials. This study aims to develop and test the feasibility of a reading Student Worksheet (LKPD) based on the local wisdom of the Madura Karapan Sapi (Bull Racing) tradition to foster an attitude of mutual respect for diversity. The study employs the Research and Development (R&D) method using a simplified Borg and Gall model, encompassing the stages of needs analysis, design, development, validation, revision, and limited pilot testing. The approach used was a mixed-methods design, with data collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests. The results of the study showed a significant improvement in students’ reading skills, marked by an increase in the average score from 68.57 to 89.29. Additionally, students demonstrated a more positive attitude toward diversity. Thus, the LKPD based on the local wisdom of the Madura Karapan Sapi is deemed suitable and effective for use as contextual teaching material that not only improves reading skills but also strengthens the development of students’ social character.

Abstract

Indonesian language learning in elementary schools is often monotonous and teacher-centered, leading to low reading interest and comprehension among students, with minimal integration of local wisdom to enrich cultural literacy. Local wisdom constitutes knowledge, values, and traditions that develop within society and are passed down from generation to generation as part of a region’s cultural identity. Through learning based on local wisdom, students not only acquire academic knowledge but also learn to know, understand, and appreciate their own regional culture. This study aimed to develop a Mini Booklet LKPD based on Solo City’s local wisdom to enhance reading skills for fifth-grade elementary students. The Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) was implemented at an elementary school in Gresik during the even semester of 2025/2026, involving needs analysis, design, expert validation, and trials with 23 students. Instruments included validation sheets and response questionnaires, analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. Results indicated the LKPD was highly feasible (media expert 80%, material expert 88%) and practical (77.75%). In conclusion, this LKPD serves as an innovative, engaging, and contextual medium; future prospects include testing its effectiveness on learning outcomes and expansion to other materials.

Abstract

Basic literacy is an essential competency that must be mastered by elementary school students. However, its development remains a challenge, especially for slow learners who have limitations in processing information. One factor that influences learning success is the availability of teaching materials that are appropriate to student characteristics. This study aims to describe the practicality level of the Student Worksheet (LKPD) "I Can Read and Write". This LKPD is used as an instrument to identify the basic literacy of slow learner students in inclusive elementary schools. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model. The research subjects consisted of a first-grade teacher at SDN Ketintang II as the practicality assessor and one slow learner student as the interview respondent. Data were collected through a practicality questionnaire and interviews. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods. The results showed that the LKPD obtained a practicality percentage of 88%, categorized as very practical. LKPD is considered easy to use, appropriate to student needs, and able to increase learning engagement. Thus, this LKPD has the potential to be an adaptive teaching material as well as an effective basic literacy identification tool.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop worksheets on earthquake disaster mitigation using crossword puzzles and cloze exercises, and to test their validity and practicality among fourth-grade students at SDN Klurak Sidoarjo. The study employed a Research and Development method using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results showed that the worksheets achieved 98.61% content validity and 100% media validity, placing them in the “highly valid” category. The practicality test also revealed positive responses from teachers and students, as the worksheets were easy to use, engaging, and aided in understanding the material. These findings align with the characteristics of cloze exercises, which support reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and critical thinking, as well as crossword puzzles, which have been proven to enhance vocabulary and learning engagement. Thus, the developed worksheets are suitable for use as innovative thematic teaching materials to improve language literacy and disaster mitigation awareness among students.
