Abstract

Elementary school students may experience difficulty maintaining concentration, retaining information, and recalling recently learned material. This study aimed to develop Run Ping-Pong Ball game media and evaluate its validity and practicality as a tool for training memory skills in classical guidance services. The study employed a Research and Development approach using the 4D model, limited to the Define, Design, and Develop stages. Participants were 26 fourth-grade students at SD Swasta Al-Mukmin. Data were collected through interviews, observations, expert-validation questionnaires, a guidance counselor response questionnaire, and a student response questionnaire. The needs analysis indicated problems related to attention, short-term recall, concentration, and information retention, as well as a preference for active and experience-based media. The media expert awarded a validity score of 84%, and the material expert awarded 93.33%, placing the product in the highly valid category. The guidance counselor’s practicality score was 94%, while the students’ response score was 82.46%, indicating high practicality. The developed game combines physical movement, sequential instructions, and information recall in an enjoyable activity. These findings demonstrate that the product is feasible for limited use in classical guidance services. However, effectiveness in improving memory was not measured and should be examined through experimental research.

Abstract

Junior high school students often experience interpersonal communication difficulties, including expressing opinions, building trust, listening actively, and cooperating with peers. This study aimed to develop and assess a Blind Walk game-based medium for group guidance services designed to train students’ interpersonal communication skills. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. However, the development process was limited to the Develop stage. The participants were eight eighth-grade students from SMP Swasta Cerdas Murni. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires using media and material expert validation sheets, a guidance counselor response questionnaire, and a student response questionnaire. The media expert awarded a score of 80%, categorized as valid, while the material expert awarded 90%, categorized as very valid. Practicality scores reached 94% from the guidance counselor and 96.5% from the students, both categorized as very practical. The product was designed to facilitate cooperation, trust-building, clear instruction delivery, and active listening during group guidance activities. These findings indicate that the developed medium is valid and practical for limited use. Further experimental research is required to determine its effectiveness in improving interpersonal communication skills.

Abstract

Conceptual understanding is essential in elementary science, yet students often memorize the names of matter state changes without explaining the underlying processes. This study aimed to develop and evaluate Interactive Smart Wheel media for improving fourth-grade students’ conceptual understanding of matter state changes. Research and Development was conducted through the ADDIE stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The local product trial involved 25 fourth-grade students, one classroom teacher, one media validator, and one subject-matter validator at SD Swasta IT Zia Salsabila. Data were collected through classroom observation, interviews, expert-validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires, and pretest-posttest concept-understanding tests. The media expert score was 95%, and the material expert score was 90%, indicating high validity. Teacher and student practicality scores were 95.8% and 85.4%, respectively. Students’ mean score increased from 42.8 on the pretest to 84.8 on the posttest, with a mean N-Gain of 0.748 in the high category. The study’s originality lies in combining a physical rotating wheel, visual representations, QR-linked videos, and quiz activities within one manipulative medium. Practically, the product offers teachers a structured way to transform abstract processes into visible and participatory learning experiences. The findings contribute preliminary evidence that interactive manipulative media can support conceptual understanding, although the small single-school sample limits generalization.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate story card media for narrative writing instruction in Indonesian language learning for third-grade elementary students, addressing difficulties in generating ideas, organizing events coherently, and expressing thoughts in written form. A Research and Development design with the ADDIE model was employed, involving 23 third-grade students at SD Negeri 101770 Tembung. Data were collected through classroom observation, teacher interviews, expert validation, response questionnaires, and pretest-posttest narrative writing assessments. Expert evaluations yielded feasibility scores of 90% (media), 94% (content), and 91% (language). Teacher and student response scores reached 92% and 90%, respectively, indicating high practicality. The class-level writing score increased from 40% (pretest) to 90% (posttest), with an N-gain of 0.83, categorized as high. This study offers a structured combination of visual sequences and contextual prompts specifically designed for third-grade learners' concrete operational characteristics, an underexplored intervention in Indonesian elementary narrative writing instruction. Teachers can use the cards as a low-complexity scaffold for collaborative planning and individual writing, providing an accessible, ready-to-implement instructional tool. This research contributes a feasible, practical, and effective story card medium for enhancing narrative writing skills, offering preliminary evidence for curriculum developers and educators seeking innovative, visually mediated approaches to literacy instruction in elementary classrooms.

Abstract

Conceptual understanding is a fundamental cognitive skill in elementary science education, yet many students struggle with abstract concepts such as the human digestive system, which involves invisible internal processes. This study aimed to develop and evaluate audiovisual media to enhance conceptual understanding of the human digestive system among fifth-grade elementary school students. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) methodology with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), the study involved 17 fifth-grade students from SD Negeri 101770 Tembung. Data were collected through expert-validation questionnaires, teacher and student response questionnaires, classroom observation, interviews, and pretest-posttest conceptual-understanding assessments. Validity assessments from the media expert (91.67%) and material expert (98.75%) categorized the media as highly feasible. Practicality testing yielded 96.67% from the teacher response and 84.12% from student responses, both within the highly feasible category. The mean conceptual-understanding score increased from 35 on the pretest to 93 on the posttest, producing an N-gain of 0.89 (89%), categorized as high. The audiovisual media visualized the sequence of digestive processes through synchronized visual and verbal representations, thereby helping students engage with processes that could not be observed directly. These findings indicate high validity, practicality, and potential effectiveness within the one-group trial. The study contributes an ADDIE-based example of how audiovisual media can make abstract elementary science content more concrete. Future studies should test the media with larger and more diverse samples, additional science topics, and controlled experimental designs.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of principal leadership and teacher job satisfaction on teacher performance in public elementary schools within the Kalidoni sub-district of Palembang. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaire distribution to respondents across 7 public elementary schools. The sample comprised 104 teachers, determined using Slovin's formula. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis, incorporating t-tests, F-tests, and coefficient of determination. The findings reveal that: (1) principal leadership has a significant partial influence on teacher performance; (2) teacher job satisfaction has a significant partial influence on teacher performance; and (3) both principal leadership and teacher job satisfaction simultaneously exert a significant influence on teacher performance, confirming that these two variables jointly predict performance outcomes. This study provides empirical evidence from an urban sub-district context in Palembang, demonstrating the combined predictive power of leadership and job satisfaction on teacher performance in a multi-school setting, an area relatively underexplored in local educational research. Findings underscore the necessity for school principals and district policymakers to simultaneously prioritize leadership development and teacher welfare programs to sustain and enhance performance. This research contributes actionable insights for educational administrators, affirming that teacher performance is optimized when strong leadership is complemented by high job satisfaction, offering a foundational reference for performance improvement strategies in urban elementary school contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the principal’s leadership strategies in improving teachers’ performance through conflict management and strengthening organizational culture at SMP Negeri 35 Palembang. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation for data collection. Data were analyzed through interactive model procedures. Findings reveal that the principal’s strategies include open communication, problem clarification, deliberation, regulation enforcement, discipline, cooperation, routine supervision, and professional role modeling. Conflict factors stem from perceptual differences, ineffective communication, unequal task division, character variations, and high administrative burdens. Organizational culture strengthening is influenced by principal assertiveness, teacher commitment, clear rules, and a conducive work climate. Supporting factors include effective communication, teacher collaboration, consistent guidance, professional awareness, and firm regulations. Inhibiting factors comprise differing teacher responses to change, principal time constraints, administrative burdens, latent conflicts, and limited facilities. The integration of conflict management and culture strengthening positively impacts teacher performance through improved discipline, lesson planning quality, work motivation, and a more conducive environment. This study uniquely integrates conflict management and organizational culture strengthening as dual strategies within a single leadership framework in an Indonesian secondary school context. Principals are advised to develop communicative, participatory, and consistent leadership to create a harmonious and productive organizational culture. This research contributes empirical evidence that effective leadership strategies integrating conflict resolution and cultural reinforcement significantly enhance teacher performance, offering actionable insights for school leaders in similar urban secondary education settings.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure and firm value in emerging markets through a PRISMA-guided systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. A systematic search was conducted on 15 May 2026 using Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published between 2020 and 2025. The search identified 13,700 records. The review included peer-reviewed empirical articles published in English or Indonesian, indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, or Sinta, and focused on ESG or corporate social responsibility disclosure and firm value or financial performance in emerging markets. After identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and full-text evaluation, 22 studies were included in the final synthesis. Bibliometric mapping was conducted using VOSviewer through keyword co-occurrence and co-citation analyses. The findings show that 18 of the 22 studies, or 82%, reported a statistically significant positive relationship between ESG disclosure and firm value. The environmental dimension showed the strongest and most consistent association with firm value, while the effects of social and governance disclosure varied across institutional and market contexts. Firm size, institutional ownership, leverage, regulatory quality, and economic sustainability emerged as important moderating or mediating factors. The bibliometric analysis identified three main research clusters: ESG reporting and disclosure mechanisms, firm value and financial performance measures, and corporate governance and stakeholder-related factors. The review also identifies methodological and geographical gaps, particularly the limited use of causal research designs and the underrepresentation of African and Latin American emerging markets. These findings provide relevant implications for corporate managers, investors, regulators, and future ESG researchers.

Abstract

This study examines the constitutionality of classifying members of Indonesia's Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) as regional officials under Articles 18 and 22E of the 1945 Constitution, analyzing its implications for representative democracy, institutional independence, and decentralized governance. Employing normative legal research, the study applies statutory, conceptual, and historical approaches to examine constitutional provisions, legislation, legal doctrines, judicial decisions, and scholarly literature, focusing on the evolution of the DPRD's institutional position under Laws No. 22/1999, 32/2004, and 23/2014. Findings demonstrate that subsequent legislative reforms have shifted the DPRD from a regional legislative body to an element of regional government administration, creating constitutional ambiguity regarding its institutional identity and weakening its representative status. This classification is inconsistent with constitutional principles, as DPRD members derive democratic legitimacy directly from general elections rather than executive authority. This study uniquely integrates constitutional analysis with the historical trajectory of DPRD positioning, an underexplored focus in Indonesian legal scholarship. Harmonization of the statutory framework is recommended by reaffirming the DPRD as a regional representative institution to promote legal certainty and democratic accountability. This research provides a constitutional critique and actionable recommendations for policymakers, contributing to the theoretical discourse on institutional positioning within Indonesia's decentralized governance system.

Abstract

The increasing reliance on digital marketing has transformed how coffee shop businesses communicate with consumers, yet the mechanism through which digital marketing content influences purchase decisions remains insufficiently understood, particularly through the mediating role of brand awareness. This study examines the influence of digital marketing content on purchase decisions through brand awareness among Janji Jiwa consumers in East Denpasar. A quantitative research design was employed using a survey of 100 consumers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through path analysis and the Sobel test with SPSS. The findings demonstrate that digital marketing content significantly enhances brand awareness, while both digital marketing content and brand awareness positively influence purchase decisions. Moreover, brand awareness significantly mediates the relationship between digital marketing content and purchase decisions, indicating that consumers’ purchasing behaviour is shaped not only by direct exposure to digital content but also by the extent to which such content strengthens brand recognition and recall. The novelty of this study lies in integrating digital marketing content, brand awareness, and purchase decisions within a single mediation framework in the context of Indonesia’s coffee shop industry. The findings contribute to digital marketing literature by clarifying the psychological mechanism linking content marketing to consumer purchasing behaviour and provide practical insights for coffee shop managers in designing engaging digital content strategies that strengthen brand awareness and encourage sustainable purchase decisions.
