Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Whole Language approach to enhance Reading Comprehension Skills among middle school students at SMPN I Bolo. Facing significant challenges in mastering comprehensive language skills, this research utilized a Classroom Action Research method conducted in two cycles, integrating interactive and holistic language learning activities. Initial observations showed that only 61.2% of students achieved the expected level of comprehension, which triggered the need for an integrated approach in teaching. Subsequent adjustments resulted in a substantial increase in comprehension levels, with 91.7% of students achieving the target comprehension scores in the second cycle. The findings indicate that the Whole Language approach not only improves reading comprehension but also actively involves students in the learning process through guided reading and writing activities. This study confirms the effectiveness of the Whole Language approach in creating an engaging and comprehensive learning environment, significantly enhancing students’ reading comprehension abilities.

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.
