Abstract

This study investigated the role of self-efficacy in shaping reading and writing competencies among pre-service kindergarten and primary educators, with implications for pedagogical strategies to address skill deficiencies. Focusing on second-semester students enrolled in an English for Academic Purposes course, a cohort of 146 participants was randomly selected from a population of 274. Employing a mixed-methods approach—integrating quantitative surveys and quasi-experimental pre-post tests—the intervention incorporated self-selected reading materials aligned with individual comprehension levels, resulting in a 22.6% to 38.4% increase in confidence and reading engagement. Schema- and table-based instructional tasks demonstrated significant improvements in comprehension and motivation. Furthermore, mandating the integration of 3–5 academic references in writing assignments transformed students’ perceptions of literacy tasks from stress-inducing to intellectually valuable, yielding a 37% rise in positive attitudes and a 38.6% enhancement in self-efficacy. When extended to third-semester cohorts, structured lecturer guidance utilizing tabular frameworks was highlighted as a distinctive pedagogical feature

Abstract

This comparative quantitative study examined smartphone addiction rates among children using a modified Smartphone Addiction Questionnaire, focusing on differences between preschool and primary school students to inform prevention and health promotion strategies. For preschool participants, parents completed the questionnaire, whereas for primary school children, both parents and children provided responses. The assessment tool demonstrated robust psychometric properties, with validity established through rigorous evaluation and high internal consistency for both the children’s and parents’ scales, as indicated by Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. The study cohort comprised 832 participants, including 104 preschool-aged children, 336 parents of primary school-aged children, and 392 primary school students. The prevalence of smartphone addiction differed significantly across groups, with primary school students exhibiting higher rates than preschool-aged children (p < 0.05). This disparity was consistent across both parent- and child-reported measures. Nevertheless, 3.8% of preschool-aged children were classified as high risk for smartphone addiction, with an additional 1% at very high risk, necessitating parental vigilance. Among primary school students, the prevalence was higher, with 7.4%–9.8% at high risk and 0.8%–2.1% at very high risk

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) media is considered important due to its ability to engage elementary school students. The purpose of this study was to develop an AR-based application for teaching food chains in elementary schools. This research followed the Research and Development (R&D) model proposed by Borg & Gall. Data were collected through assessment sheets completed by expert validators, and data analysis involved both quantitative and qualitative methods. The results showed that: 1) the media received a feasibility score of 4.71; 2) the material received a score of 4.11; 3) practitioners rated the media highly, with a score of 4.83; and 4) in the limited trial, 8 out of 10 students scored above the Minimum Mastery Criteria in quizzes. Therefore, it can be concluded that the AR-based food chain application is highly feasible for use in elementary schools. Through AR, students can observe in real time how plants, herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers interact within an ecosystem

Abstract

Student learning independence presents a significant challenge, as numerous students exhibit an undue dependence on peers or instructors and a deficiency in motivation for self-directed learning. This study examines the development of learning autonomy in fourth-grade students at public elementary schools in relation to self-efficacy and parental support. This study used an ex post facto design and quantitative methodology, with a sample of 150 students drawn from a population of 228, using the Taro Yamane formula at a 5% significance level. Data was collected using validated and reliable questionnaires, and normality and linearity were assessed prior to hypothesis testing using Pearson correlation. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and learning independence (r = 0.249) and between parental support and learning independence (r = 0.431). The determination coefficient of 0.272 indicates that the combined influence of self-efficacy and parental support is more significantly associated with learning independence (r = 0.521), accounting for 27.2% of the variance in students' learning independence. The findings provide empirical evidence of the synergistic impact in elementary education settings, implying that increasing students' self-efficacy and parental engagement can significantly improve learning autonomy

Abstract

Students’ low mathematical critical thinking skills, as shown by the 2022 PISA results and studies, suggest that traditional teaching methods may inadequately develop these abilities. This study examines the effectiveness of combining Kahoot technology with the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative model to enhance these skills. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, fifth-grade students in Madiun City were divided into experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed via General Linear Models (GLM) and MANOVA. Results indicate a significant difference between groups (p=0.011), with the intervention explaining 17.4% of variance in improvement (Partial Eta Squared=0.174). This study provides novel evidence that a Kahoot-based TGT model effectively improves mathematical critical thinking in elementary students—an underexplored area in primary education.

Abstract

The educational system faces an epistemological dilemma stemming from individuals’ limited ability to manage their own waste. The integration of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project into primary school curricula through the use of Buried Compost Bin (BCB) media is supported by both the notion of human superiority and these challenges. The project followed the ADDIE model, encompassing analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Tools employed included media validation sheets, student pre- and post-tests, and teacher surveys. A group of 100 students and six teachers was selected to foster environmental awareness and scientific behavioural responses. The BCB media was validated as implementable, accessible, adaptable to various social contexts, and compliant with environmental standards. Statistical methods, including t-tests, were used to analyse quantitative data from teacher evaluations and test results. The findings indicated that BCB media significantly increased awareness and promoted behavioural change, with improvement rising from 12% to 48%. Qualitative linguistic analysis further confirmed a causal link between student media engagement and behavioural change. Overall, BCB media proved effective and efficient in enhancing students’ environmental awareness and encouraging scientific behavioural change

Abstract

The diminishing enthusiasm among students for composing personal narratives, coupled with the overwhelming presence of readily accessible online examples, has prompted many to resort to shortcuts, consequently impeding their creative growth and expression. This study examines the effectiveness of the RADEC learning model in enhancing graphic composition skills among fifth-grade students. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design characterized by a quantitative methodology and a pretest-posttest control group structure, the study engaged a cohort of 60 fifth-grade students from a rural educational institution. The selection of participants was carried out through convenience sampling, which involved choosing two classes, namely VA and VB, with each class comprising 30 students. Data collection was accomplished through a comprehensive approach that included the administration of questionnaires, standardized tests, and the compilation of relevant documentation. The findings indicate that the RADEC model improves students' comprehension of writing concepts and significantly enhances their descriptive writing skills in Indonesian. Its structured, student-centered approach facilitates their progression from basic writing tasks to planning, monitoring, and evaluating their work. Furthermore, it promotes critical, creative, and independent thinking in writing
