Abstract

This research aims to explore the utilization of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in a more innovative manner for implementation in elementary schools. This approach is designed to enhance students' understanding of key PBL concepts and improve their critical thinking skills. The research methodology employed includes literature analysis and case studies from several elementary schools that implement PBL innovatively. Through literature analysis, fundamental PBL concepts are studied and identified. Subsequently, case studies are conducted in several elementary schools that have implemented PBL with innovative approaches. Data are collected through literature review and document analysis. The research findings indicate that innovative PBL, incorporating technology, collaboration, and authentic assessment, can create a more interactive and engaging learning environment for students. However, challenges faced by teachers in implementing this strategy include a lack of resources, curriculum planning, and adequate training. Therefore, recommendations are proposed to provide greater support for teachers, including additional training and better access to supportive technology. Thus, innovation in project-based learning strategies can enhance the effectiveness of student learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

The decline in citizenship attitudes among elementary school students is a significant concern requiring urgent attention. Citizenship attitudes, encompassing consciousness, responsibility, participation, and loyalty as Indonesian citizens, are crucial in molding individuals who contribute positively to national life. Recent incidents of bullying, violence, and intolerance in elementary schools across Indonesia highlight a disturbing trend, emphasizing the urgent need for action. Bullying incidents, particularly in Mandailing Natal District, persist due to factors like seniority culture and lack of empathy, exacerbating students' vulnerability. To address this decline, civil society's role is essential, yet its full potential remains untapped due to various constraints. Understanding this background is crucial for effective intervention design. Civil society can reinforce citizenship attitudes, advocate social righteousness, and enhance national integration, emphasizing values like legal awareness, social responsibility, and tolerance. Child-friendly school environments and active participation in civil society programs can empower students and foster inclusive communities. Strengthening citizenship attitudes requires curriculum integration, extracurricular activities, and teacher training to enhance students' awareness and critical thinking. Collaborative efforts involving schools, teachers, students, and the local community are vital, along with investment in resources and partnerships. By reinforcing citizenship attitudes, we can cultivate individuals committed to democracy, tolerance, and social responsibility, fostering a harmonious and inclusive society.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of teachers in forming values ​​in Islamic education in elementary schools using Peter L. Berger's social construction theory. This research uses the literature study method. Social construction theory makes Islamic education not only carry an academic dimension but also a means of forming character, morals, norms, and educational values ​​for students. Teachers are the main agents in the educational environment, having a very important role in shaping values ​​in the social construction of Islamic education. The role of teachers as educators is very influential in optimizing the competencies possessed by students so that they are ready and able to interact and adapt in real life. The teacher's role is not only limited to delivering material in class based on learning objectives but has a much greater moral responsibility, namely carrying out the process of internalizing values ​​and norms to students, to shape students' character based on applicable values ​​and norms

Abstract

The low science literacy ability for Central Java Province is certainly related to educational institutions that produce prospective science teachers. The better and more mature the preparations are made, the more professional the graduates are produced. The purpose of this study is to reveal the phenomenon that occurs in an Islamic university in Surakarta as one of the producers of prospective MI teachers. The aspects measured include the essence of science and how to learn science. The data analysis technique uses descriptive statistics. The findings of this research are distinguished from three major challenges, namely (1) Specialization in the scientific field starts from the selection of science courses that are less accommodating to pay attention to the tendency of interest of prospective MI teachers, (2) the determination of courses should refer to the acquisition of science literacy assessments nationally and the rankings of PISA and TIMSS Indonesia, and (3) It is necessary to provide more intensive debriefing to prospective MI teachers about professionalism competencies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategic role of Civic Education (Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan or PKn) in shaping students’ character at the elementary school level, with a particular focus on instilling anti-bullying values, strengthening interpersonal relationships, and preventing as well as intervening in bullying behavior. The research addresses the growing concern over school bullying, which negatively affects students’ emotional well-being and social development. By exploring how PKn can serve as a medium for moral and ethical education, this study contributes to both the theoretical understanding and practical implementation of character education in elementary schools. The research was conducted at SDN Kowangbinagun using a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of school activities. The collected data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. This method ensured that the findings were systematically derived from field data. The study found that PKn plays a crucial role in promoting moral values such as empathy, responsibility, tolerance, and justice among students. Through interactive teaching methods, including group discussions, reflection activities, and collaborative tasks, students developed improved interpersonal skills, including assertive communication and conflict resolution. PKn also effectively functioned as a preventive and intervention tool against bullying, as teachers actively provided awareness, corrected negative behaviors, and fostered a safe and supportive school environment. This study concludes that PKn serves as an effective instrument in cultivating a respectful, empathetic, and cooperative school culture, which ultimately reduces bullying incidents. Future research may explore the integration of digital tools in PKn learning to enhance character education outcomes.

Abstract

The learning process in higher education, particularly in education study programs, is not only oriented towards knowledge transfer, but rather emphasizes the development of prospective teachers' pedagogical capacity in designing and delivering contextual learning materials. The main challenge that often arises, especially among first-semester students, is the low level of active engagement in the learning process due to the still dominant one-way learning approach. Through mixed methods research (qualitative-quantitative) that combines observation, interviews, document analysis, and comprehension tests, it was found that the implementation of Discovery Learning succeeded in significantly increasing both student engagement and their conceptual understanding. Quantitative data showed an average post-test score of 93.13, while qualitative findings revealed the development of students' creative pedagogical abilities in designing innovative learning strategies such as educational songs, puzzle games for Roman numerals, and origami media for fractions. These results prove that the student-centered approach through Discovery Learning not only addresses engagement issues but also builds a more meaningful and applicable understanding of mathematics for prospective teachers and elementary school students.

Abstract

Education is developing rapidly as time goes by, becoming a top priority for a country. However, the quality of human resources in Indonesia is still lagging behind compared to several developed countries. To improve the quality of human resources, education must be prioritized. The concept of humanism in education emphasizes the importance of respecting human values ​​and encouraging the humanization process. Meanwhile, the concept of Merdeka Belajar, interpreted as freedom to think, imagine and express, aims to improve the quality of education so that it is superior to before. The relationship between humanist thinking and the concept of Freedom of Learning in the learning context shows that learning must emphasize the process rather than learning outcomes, by involving students as active subjects in the learning process. It is also important to pay attention to the role of the teacher as a facilitator, as well as using learning methods that support the optimal development of students' potential. Learning evaluation must include cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects, taking into account students' individual development and needs. The method used in this research includes literature analysis and synthesis of relevant ideas to highlight the importance of integrating the concepts of humanism and Freedom of Learning in the educational context in Indonesia.
