Abstract

The use of innovative learning media is important in improving students’ understanding of ecosystem concepts in elementary science learning. However, science learning activities in elementary schools are still dominated by conventional teaching methods, causing students to become less active during lessons. This study aims to analyze the use of educational quizzes as a learning innovation to improve students’ understanding of ecosystem concepts. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, documentation, and analysis of student quiz results. The findings indicate that educational quizzes were able to increase students’ enthusiasm, participation, concentration, and understanding of ecosystem materials such as food chains, food webs, producers, consumers, and decomposers. Students became more active in answering questions and showed higher motivation during the learning process. Educational quizzes also helped teachers evaluate students’ understanding more effectively and interactively. Therefore, educational quizzes can be used as an effective and enjoyable learning innovation to improve students understanding of ecosystem concepts in elementary science learning.

Abstract

History learning plays a strategic role in developing students’ critical, analytical, and reflective thinking skills. However, instructional practices that still emphasize memorization of facts often fail to foster higher-order thinking abilities. This article aims to examine the implementation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based history learning as an effort to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, namely quality education. The HOTS approach in history learning emphasizes students’ abilities to analyze, evaluate, and create through activities such as interpreting historical sources, solving contextual problems, and engaging in critical discussions of past events. The method used in this study is a literature review by analyzing various sources related to HOTS-based learning strategies and their implementation in history education. The findings indicate that the application of HOTS enhances student engagement, deepens conceptual understanding, and fosters historical awareness relevant to contemporary life. In addition, HOTS-based learning encourages students to develop reflective thinking and make better-informed decisions. The implementation of HOTS in history learning aligns with the principles of SDG 4, which emphasize inclusive, equitable, and quality education. Therefore, integrating HOTS into history instruction not only improves the quality of the learning process but also contributes to the development of a generation that is critical, creative, and adaptive in facing global challenges.

Abstract

The calibre of education in schools is significantly influenced by the efficacy of management methods, with the principle acting as a pivotal leader in guiding and orchestrating school operations. This research aims to investigate the tactics used by principals to improve educational quality in elementary schools. Using a qualitative research design with a literature review approach, the study highlights the principal’s responsibilities as an educator, manager, administrator, innovator, and motivator in supporting school improvement. The results reveal that major challenges faced by primary schools include inadequate facilities and infrastructure, as well as insufficient teacher competence. To address these issues, principals implement various initiatives, such as strengthening teacher capacity, improving educational facilities, and fostering collaboration with relevant stakeholders. The study underscores the crucial role of principal leadership in harmonizing all school components to achieve higher standards of educational quality.

Abstract

The Nyadran tradition at Dam Bagong in Ngantru Village, Trenggalek Regency, represents a form of local wisdom that functions not only as a cultural ritual but also as a socio-ecological practice connecting humans, culture, and the environment. This study aims to analyze the socio-ecological construction embedded in the Nyadran tradition and to explain how the tradition fosters environmental awareness and social solidarity within the local community. The research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation as data collection techniques during the implementation of the Nyadran ritual. Informants were selected through purposive sampling, focusing on individuals with extensive knowledge of the history, meaning, and practices of the tradition. The findings reveal that Nyadran serves as a social mechanism for maintaining harmonious relationships between humans and nature through communal activities such as collective environmental cleaning, the buffalo head offering ritual, and the equitable distribution of ritual resources. The tradition also strengthens collective awareness regarding water resource conservation, environmental sustainability, and the fair use of natural resources. Furthermore, Nyadran reinforces cultural identity and social cohesion while functioning as a social infrastructure that supports ecological sustainability and community-based environmental risk mitigation through local wisdom.

Abstract

Disasters are events that can cause loss of life, environmental damage, property loss, and psychological impacts on communities. Disaster preparedness is a crucial aspect in reducing risks and minimizing impacts through appropriate and effective measures. Tambakrejo Beach in Blitar Regency is prone to disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and tidal floods due to its physical characteristics as a shallow bay directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean. This study aims to analyze the physical conditions and disaster history, the role of the government in disaster mitigation, and the level of community preparedness in the coastal area of Tambakrejo Beach. This research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, with respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. The results indicate that Tambakrejo Beach has a high level of vulnerability to both tsunamis and tidal floods. The government's role in mitigating tidal floods remains largely reactive and is not yet supported by adequate early warning systems. In contrast, tsunami mitigation efforts are more developed through Disaster Resilient Village programs, training, and community outreach. Community preparedness is generally adequate in terms of knowledge; however, it remains limited in technical understanding, emergency response planning, and resource mobilization, particularly for tidal flood hazards. Therefore, strengthening early warning systems, enhancing education, and improving community capacity are essential to achieving comprehensive disaster preparedness.

Abstract

The Bajo people are one of the most prominent nomadic seafaring communities in Southeast Asia, having inhabited the Indonesian waters for centuries. This study aims to comprehensively examine the Bajo people's seafaring traditions as an integral part of Indonesia's maritime heritage that urgently needs to be systematically preserved amidst the increasingly rapid flow of modernization and globalization. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analytical literature study method, namely by systematically collecting, reviewing, and synthesizing relevant academic literature, historical documents, ethnographic reports, government policy documents, and previous research findings related to the maritime traditions of the Bajo community. The results of the study reveal that the Bajo people's seafaring traditions encompass several core dimensions such as the pabbiritang star navigation system that utilizes more than 40 constellations and traditional navigation including lepa-lepa, soppe, and bidi-bidi. These traditions are currently facing serious threats from the government's sedentarization policy, technological modernization, marine environmental degradation, and the failure of knowledge transmission across generations. This study concludes that preserving the Bajo maritime heritage requires an integrated approach that combines systematic scientific documentation, legal recognition of customary maritime rights, community-based education programs, and alternative livelihoods that are economically sustainable while respecting their cultural identity.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the historical development of maritime navigation in the Indonesian archipelago (Nusantara) and its relevance to Indonesia's identity as a maritime nation. The study employs a literature review method by collecting and analyzing data from various primary and secondary sources. The results indicate that Indonesia has a long and rich maritime history, as evidenced by the dominance of maritime kingdoms such as Sriwijaya and Majapahit, which controlled major sea trade routes and built extensive international networks. The development of Nusantara navigation was also influenced by the introduction of various maritime technologies, the spread of religion through sea routes, and ultimately the impact of European colonialism which disrupted traditional maritime trade systems. In the modern era, Indonesia's maritime identity has been revitalized through the Sea Toll program and the Global Maritime Fulcrum vision. This study concludes that an understanding of the historical development of Nusantara navigation is essential as a foundation for building a strong, sovereign, and prosperous maritime Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the understanding of fifth-grade students of SD Negeri 101765 Bandar Setia regarding the material of mixtures and solutions in everyday life and identify factors that influence this understanding. This study used a mixed methods approach with a descriptive design. The research subjects consisted of 21 fifth-grade students and 1 homeroom teacher. Data were collected through questionnaires, essay tests, and interviews, then analyzed descriptively and data triangulation was conducted. The results of the study indicate that most students have a good understanding of the material of mixtures and solutions, especially on concepts related to examples in everyday life. However, there are still some students who have difficulty in distinguishing homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Student understanding is influenced by the use of concrete media, direct learning experiences, and teacher learning strategies. Thus, learning based on direct experience through the use of concrete media and simple experiments is effective in improving students' understanding of the material of mixtures and solutions.
