Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the management of co-curricular activities in fostering the character of global diversity among primary school students. Global diversity is a key dimension of the Pancasila Student Profile, emphasizing cultural awareness, inclusive interaction, and fair behavior within a pluralistic society. Novelty: This research highlights systematic co-curricular management as a strategic mechanism for strengthening global diversity character within the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, particularly through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5), where practical models at the school level remain varied and underexplored. Methods: The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through the Miles and Huberman interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results: The findings reveal that effective co-curricular management depends on three main aspects: (1) needs-based and contextually relevant planning grounded in local culture, (2) collaborative and experiential learning activities that promote intercultural engagement, and (3) authentic evaluation emphasizing reflection, equitable participation, and inclusive contribution. Principal leadership, community partnerships, and teacher capacity were identified as key supporting factors. Conclusions: Co-curricular activities play a strategic role in shaping global diversity character among primary school students. Systematic and integrated management within the school ecosystem is essential to optimize their impact and achieve the goals of the Pancasila Student Profile.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a hybrid instructional model integrating Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Differentiated Instruction (DI) to improve procedural writing skills among fifth-grade elementary students in Indonesia. Novelty: The study introduces a combined PBL–DI framework within a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, specifically applied to genre-based procedural writing instruction in diverse elementary classrooms. Methods: The research employed a two-cycle Classroom Action Research (CAR) design involving 31 students. Learners engaged in real-world writing tasks tailored to their readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles. Data were collected through writing assessments, observation sheets, reflection journals, field notes, and interviews, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results: Student writing mastery improved significantly from 32% in the pre-action stage to 84% at the end of Cycle II. Qualitative findings indicated increased engagement, greater autonomy in writing, and enhanced self-efficacy. Contextual problem-solving tasks, scaffolded support, and iterative teacher reflection contributed to both cognitive and affective development. Conclusions: Integrating PBL and DI provides an effective, student-centered framework for enhancing procedural writing skills and offers a promising approach for genre-based writing instruction in diverse elementary school settings.

Abstract

Computational thinking is an essential skill that students need to develop in the learning process to systematically analyze problems and construct effective solutions. Objective: This study modified the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method integrated with Multiple Representations (MR) in enhancing elementary students’ computational thinking skills, including decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence on the contribution of an innovative instructional approach in fostering students’ computational thinking skills, thereby supporting the achievement of SDG 4 (Quality Education) through improved learning quality at the elementary level. Method: A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design with purposive sampling (N = 62), consisting of 31 students in the experimental group and 31 students in the control group. Data were analyzed through prerequisite tests and hypothesis testing to examine the effectiveness of the PBL-MR method in improving students’ computational thinking skills. Results: The results of the t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.001), indicating that the implementation of the PBL-MR method significantly enhanced students’ computational thinking skills. Conclusion: The PBL-MR method is more effective in increasing Computational Thinking skills than the traditional method in the control group. These results indicate that the PBL-MR method is effective in improving students’ computational thinking skills as an effort to support the achievement of SDGs 4, by improving the quality of education through meaningful education for elementary school.

Abstract

Deep learning pedagogy has recently been promoted as a strategic response to the evolving demands of Indonesian basic education under the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes student-centered learning, meaningful projects, and the cultivation of 21st-century competencies. Objective: This study investigates primary school teachers’ perceptions of deep learning pedagogy within the Wahidin Sudiro Husodo Cluster, Jumapolo Subdistrict, Karanganyar Regency. Novelty: Implications for developing a teacher training model and future research directions are discussed. Methods: Using a descriptive survey design, data were collected from 30 teachers across eight schools through a structured questionnaire (Likert scale) and complemented by short interviews and documentation review. The survey assessed three major dimensions: conceptual understanding of deep learning, classroom enactment, and school-level readiness for implementation. Results: Findings show that teachers’ conceptual understanding reached a “good” level (M = 3.65 on a 1–4 scale), while classroom enactment was “fairly good” (M = 3.40) and readiness for implementation remained “moderate” (M = 3.25). Qualitative evidence indicates that teachers commonly interpret deep learning as meaningful learning and higher-order thinking, yet some still conflate it with general active learning. Teachers reported constraints related to time allocation, learning media availability, class size, and limited technical training, despite acknowledging the relevance of project-based and problem-based learning for deep learning pedagogy. Conclusions: The study concludes that deep learning pedagogy is viewed positively but requires systemic support through structured professional development, school leadership facilitation, and practical guidance for authentic assessment and reflective learning routines.
