Abstract

This study examines parental preferences between the K-12 and K-10 curricula in the Philippines, focusing on four key indicators: college readiness, employability, financial burden, and time consumption. Anchored in a descriptive quantitative approach, the research surveyed 600 parents of elementary students from three public schools in the province of Laguna using a 4-point Likert scale questionnaire. Results reveal that while parents generally view both curricula as capable of preparing students for college and employment, the K-10 curriculum is slightly favored in terms of financial practicality and shorter duration. A t-test analysis also showed significant gender-based differences, with mothers perceiving K-12 as more burdensome in time and cost. These findings highlight the relevance of understanding household-level experiences amid ongoing policy debates, particularly proposals to remove senior high school as a college prerequisite. The study underscores the need to align educational reforms with the real capacities and expectations of Filipino families.

Abstract

This research investigates the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teaching English in Pakistan's private primary schools. The study focuses on AI technologies such as Grammarly, ChatGPT, and Duolingo, examining their benefits and challenges in primary education. International studies have shown that AI aids in writing, feedback, and personalised learning; however, the impact of these tools in Pakistan’s primary schools remains underexplored. This gap is addressed by synthesising findings from global literature and examining how international trends are influencing local educational practices. The research method involves a systematic literature review of 57 articles from databases such as Scopus and ERIC. Using qualitative synthesis and theme classification according to PRISMA guidelines, the study identifies both positive outcomes, including enhanced engagement and improved language performance, and challenges, such as digital inequality, teachers' lack of preparedness, and an over-reliance on automation. The findings underscore the need for tailored ethical guidelines and ongoing professional development for teachers to ensure the effective and equitable integration of AI in primary school education.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate HydroAR, an Augmented Reality-based learning media for teaching the water cycle to elementary students. Using the 4D R&D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), the study involved 22 student respondents and 1 teacher in a limited-scale pilot test, and 30 student respondents in a wide-scale dissemination test in Cirebon Regency. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through quantitative and qualitative methods. Results show that HydroAR is highly feasible and effective. Media and material experts rated it “very feasible,” and student responses yielded SUS scores of 83.18% (limited-scale) and 85.58% (wide-scale), both categorized as “acceptable.” The media increased students' interest and improved learning outcomes on water cycle material. AR integration helped present abstract content more clearly and engagingly. This media proves valuable for science education, especially in teaching abstract concepts. HydroAR demonstrates the potential of AR-based tools in enhancing understanding, making learning more interactive, and supporting teachers in delivering complex material visually.

Abstract

Character education is a foundational pillar in students' moral and social development, particularly at the primary education level. This study examined the role of Sundanese local wisdoms silih asah (mutual enlightenment), silih asih (mutual affection), and silih asuh (mutual care) in shaping students' character across the cognitive, affective, and behavioural dimensions. A qualitative case study design was employed to enable an in-depth exploration of how these values are integrated into the learning ecosystem of a public primary school in Nunuk Baru Village. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis conducted within the school setting. Qualitative data were systematically analyzed using NVivo software to support coding, thematic analysis, and data triangulation. The findings indicate that teacher empathy accounted for 30% of compassion-based interactions, peer support behaviours emerged in 25% of observed incidents, and practices reflecting silih asuh, such as a buddy system, were documented 21 times. In addition, spontaneous acts of care and active participation in extracurricular communal activities reflected the authentic internalization of these values. This study highlights the importance of embedding local wisdom into formal schooling as a sustainable approach to fostering prosocial behaviour and strengthening students' moral resilience amid the challenges of globalization.

Abstract

This study investigated the ideological dimensions of dance pedagogy within the context of performance-based competency examinations at Dinda Bestari Studio. Adopting a qualitative case study methodology, the research explored how cultural, social, and educational values were transmitted through traditional dance instruction in a non-formal educational setting. Data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews with instructors and students, and the analysis of documented learning activities. The findings indicate that the project-based evaluation functioned as an assessment of skill proficiency that holistically considered students’ mastery of basic movements, artistic expression, presentation techniques, and cultural knowledge as interconnected dimensions of dance competence. This evaluation framework demonstrates that dance education within the studio functions as a strategic locus for character building and cultural awareness, thereby challenging the hegemony of formal curricula that frequently marginalise local values. The originality of this study lies in its integration of culturally grounded non-formal educational evaluation with a thematic analysis of ideology and character formation.

Abstract

In recent years, primary education has gained increased scholarly and policy attention due to its critical role in shaping foundational learning and long-term academic outcomes. This study addresses this gap by conducting a bibliometric analysis of 85 peer-reviewed publications from 2015 to 2025, focusing on trends and patterns in instructional and teacher education research within primary education. The primary objectives were to map publication output, identify key contributors and institutions, examine collaborative networks, and reveal emerging themes. Relevant data were retrieved from the Scopus database and subjected to bibliometric analysis through a combination of performance analysis and science mapping to visualise co-authorship patterns, keyword co-occurrences, and citation networks. Findings revealed a significant increase in research output over the decade, particularly after 2017, with notable contributions from both high-income and emerging economies. Thematic analysis uncovered four dominant clusters: instructional strategies, teacher preparation, curriculum reform, and inclusive education, with growing attention to digital pedagogy and equity since 2020. This study concludes that while the field has matured in scale and scope, international collaboration remains limited, and certain critical areas—such as gender-sensitive pedagogy and rural instruction—remain underexplored

Abstract

The memorisation of short Quranic chapters, or Surahs, within elementary religious education frequently poses challenges related to student engagement and rote retention capabilities. Consequently, this study aimed to address these issues through the development and subsequent evaluation of an educational board game, focusing on its feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness. The research employed a Research and Development methodology based on the Borg & Gall model which culminated in a final product trial involving 25 fourth-grade students. Data collection utilised expert validation questionnaires, teacher and student practicality assessments, interest surveys, and both written and oral pre-tests and post-tests. The findings indicated that the board game is highly viable, evidenced by strong ratings from content experts at 91.43% and media experts at 78.05%. Moreover, the product was deemed highly practical by both teachers and students, who awarded it scores of 97.03% and 98.52% respectively. The intervention demonstrated effectiveness through a 16% increase in student interest and enhanced memorisation proficiency, characterised by moderate N-gain scores in written (0.62) and oral (0.43) assessments. The distinct advantage of this board game lies in its integration of five interactive challenge types, specifically memorisation, composition, writing, questioning, and insight, organised within a 14-category chapter system

This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive flipbook that integrates distinctive regional commodities based on the local wisdom of Musi Banyuasin. This research employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model, was implemented with two fifth-grade classes, consisting of an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n =31). The research instruments utilised included expert validation rubrics, learner practicality questionnaires (measuring ease of use and clarity of learning activities), and assessments of learning outcomes. The results indicate that the flipbook demonstrated high validity in terms of content, design, and linguistic suitability. Furthermore, user practicality was rated as very high (91.6%). The flipbook proved effective in enhancing learning outcomes, as evidenced by a high N-Gain score in the experimental class (0.73) compared to a low score in the control class (0.14), alongside a significant difference observed in the t-test ($p = 0.000 < 0.05$). Consequently, this innovation has the potential to serve as an engaging and meaningful pedagogical resource aligned with the demands of twenty-first-century education.

Abstract

The development of religious character in primary school pupils constitutes a fundamental pillar of integrated Islamic education. This study aimed to empirically examine the implementation of the ADLX Introflex Integrated Curriculum in cultivating religious character among pupils at IQRO' Nogosari Integrated Islamic Primary School. Adopting a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, the research involved key stakeholders—including the school principal, teachers, and pupils—as participants. Data were collected via in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analysed using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that the implementation of the ADLX Integrated Curriculum is organised around core elements: Active Learning, Deep Learning, Learner Experience, and the INTROFLEX approach. The curriculum is delivered through curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular channels. The formation of religious character is specifically supported by programmes such as Iqro’ Inspire, Tahsin and Tahfidz Al Bayan, Worship Monitoring, and Islamic Personal Development (BPI). The study also underscores the ongoing collaboration among teachers, school administration, and parents in fostering pupils’ religious character. The ADLX Introflex curriculum holds substantial implications for elevating pupils’ spiritual awareness and enriches the wider discourse on character education within the context of Islamic tarbiyah.

Abstract

In the era of globalisation and digital transformation, elementary education faces challenges in preserving local cultural values within technology-based learning environments. Digital learning media often emphasise globalised content, limiting culturally grounded learning experiences. Meanwhile, Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) have become a core objective of 21st-century education, yet empirically validated media integrating Indonesian cultural diversity with HOTS development remain scarce. This study aims to develop and evaluate KEBAYA (Digital Comics on Indonesian Cultural Diversity), a culture-based digital comic designed to enhance students’ HOTS through interactive narratives. Using a research and development approach with the ADDIE model, the study involved needs analysis, product design aligned with curriculum and cultural values, development using the Canva application, expert validation, and field trials with elementary students. Effectiveness was assessed through HOTS-oriented tests and response questionnaires. The results show that KEBAYA is valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ HOTS, particularly analysis, evaluation, and creative thinking, offering a scalable model for culturally responsive digital learning. This study contributes to culturally responsive digital pedagogy and provides a scalable learning medium for elementary education.
