Abstract

This study aims to analyze the TaRL approach in improving reading literacy among third-grade students at SDN Inpres 2 Woro. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 9 third-grade students. Data were collected through reading ability tests (pretest and posttest), observations, interviews, and document analysis. The results indicate that the TaRL approach is effective in enhancing students' reading abilities. In the initial assessment, 22.2% of students were at the beginner level, 33.3% were at the word level, and 44.5% were at the story level. After implementing the approach for three months, the posttest results showed no students remained at the beginner level, with improvements at the letter level (22.2%), sentence/paragraph level (22.2%), and reading quality at the story level (44.5%). Teachers noted that students became more active, motivated, and confident in reading activities. The study concludes that the TaRL approach is an effective method for improving reading literacy among elementary school students. This approach is recommended for implementation in other schools, with adjustments made according to the specific needs and learning conditions of each institution.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing the Story-Based Learning (SBL) model on the multidimensional literacy and emotional engagement of elementary school students. The research design employed a quasi-experimental method with a mixed-methods approach. A total of 180 fourth-grade students from three elementary schools were divided into two groups: an experimental group applying SBL and a control group following conventional learning. Quantitative data were collected through pre-test and post-test measures assessing reading, writing, and critical thinking abilities, as well as an emotional engagement questionnaire. In addition, qualitative data were obtained from participatory observations and semi-structured interviews to enrich the understanding of the learning process in the field. The analysis showed that the experimental group experienced a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the multidimensional literacy aspects, particularly in reading (85.4 vs. 78.7), writing (83.1 vs. 75.6), critical thinking (81.5 vs. 73.4), and collaboration and communication (84.0 vs. 77.3). An increase in emotional engagement was also reflected by a rise in motivation scores from 3.2 to 4.0 (on a 1–5 scale), accompanied by a higher level of students’ interest and self-confidence compared to the control group. Classroom observations and interviews indicated that story-based instruction successfully triggered students’ enthusiasm, empathy, and active participation in discussions and expressing opinions. Thus, SBL can be proposed as an effective and holistic learning model for enhancing both the multidimensional literacy and emotional engagement of elementary school students. The practical implications of these findings highlight the importance of teachers’ readiness in selecting relevant stories, designing creative activities, and managing classroom interactions in a communicative manner. Curriculum support and collaboration among stakeholders are also needed to optimize the benefits of SBL, fostering a literate, critical, and empathetic generation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Learning Model as a strategy to develop algebraic numeracy in junior high schools (SMP). The research employed a quasi-experimental design, specifically the pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design, involving 120 seventh-grade students divided into an experimental group (STEAM-based learning) and a control group (conventional learning). The main instruments included an algebraic numeracy test, a learning motivation questionnaire, observation sheets, and interview guidelines to explore qualitative aspects. Quantitative data analysis was performed using t-tests and effect size calculations to measure differences in learning outcome improvement between the two groups. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher increase in algebraic numeracy scores compared to the control group. Moreover, classroom observations and interviews with teachers and students revealed that STEAM-based instruction enhances active participation, learning motivation, and collaborative skills. This positive impact is partly driven by the interdisciplinary integration, which makes algebraic material more contextual and engaging. Despite some obstacles, such as limited facilities and time constraints, the overall findings conclude that the STEAM Learning Model effectively contributes to strengthening students’ understanding of algebraic concepts in junior high schools. The practical implications of these findings underscore the need for teacher support and training, curriculum adjustments, and adequate resources to expand the implementation of STEAM across various schools

Abstract

Understanding abstract concepts is still a major challenge in learning science and mathematics at the elementary school level. This study aims to test the effectiveness of a STEM-based Collaborative Learning approach to improving students' understanding of abstract concepts. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 25 fifth-grade students from an elementary school in Jakarta who were selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of abstract concept comprehension tests (pretest and posttest), collaborative involvement observation sheets, and student participation questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively using a paired sample t-test and supported by thematic qualitative analysis. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the abstract concept comprehension score, with an average pretest score of 62.2 increasing to 75.9 on the posttest. The t-test results obtained a value of t = -45.0 with p <0.001, which indicates the statistical effectiveness of the intervention. Observations and questionnaires showed high student involvement in group discussions and collaborative application of concepts. The conclusion of this study is that STEM-based Collaborative Learning is able to facilitate the learning of abstract concepts in a more meaningful and participatory way. Suggestions for further research are to test the effectiveness of this approach at different levels and to explore its integration with digital technology to strengthen students' absorption of abstract, cross-disciplinary material.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) model integrated with Rumah Lengge ethnoscience on elementary school students’ logical thinking skills. The background of this research is rooted in the low level of students’ logical reasoning abilities, which are still dominated by conventional teaching methods that lack contextual relevance and fail to stimulate scientific reasoning. This quantitative study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design involving one experimental class of 25 fifth-grade students in Wawo District, Bima Regency. The research instrument consisted of a logical thinking skills test based on Ennis' (1996) indicators, comprising 10 multiple-choice items with reasoning. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test to examine significant differences between pretest and posttest scores. The results indicated a notable increase in the average score from 61.7 to 71.6, with a statistically significant difference (t = -28.4; p < 0.001). The normality test on the residuals confirmed that the data met the requirements for parametric analysis. These findings demonstrate that the IBL model based on Rumah Lengge ethnoscience is effective in enhancing students’ logical thinking skills by integrating scientific inquiry processes with relevant and meaningful local cultural contexts. The implication of this study suggests that locally contextualized inquiry-based approaches can serve as a strategic alternative to improve the quality of science education in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) model in improving the reading skills of lower-grade elementary school students at SDN 11 Pajo, Dompu Regency. The urgency of this research lies in the low literacy achievement among elementary students, particularly in identifying main ideas, answering literal questions, making inferences, and drawing conclusions from texts. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The subjects consisted of 28 second-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a validated reading comprehension test and classroom observations of TaRL-based learning implementation. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, N-Gain calculations, and paired sample t-tests. The findings indicate a significant increase in the mean score from 54.8 in the pretest to 84.6 in the posttest, with a mean difference of 29.8 points and a significance level of p < 0.001. The N-Gain analysis showed that 39.3% of students were in the high category, 53.6% in the medium category, and only 7.1% in the low category. These results confirm that the TaRL model is not only effective in enhancing literacy outcomes but also in reducing learning gaps through differentiated instruction. This study concludes that TaRL is highly relevant to the implementation of the Independent Curriculum, contributes theoretically to the development of early literacy strategies, and provides practical implications for teachers and policymakers in strengthening reading skills as the foundation for continuous learning.
