Abstract

This research aims to explore effective educational service approaches for children with special needs through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. This method is used to identify, evaluate, and interpret all relevant research on the studied topic. The focus of the research includes three main elements: inclusive approaches, the use of educational technology, and collaboration between parents, teachers, and other professionals. The results of the literature review indicate that an inclusive approach allows children with special needs (CSN) to learn in a supportive environment, which can enhance their social engagement and academic achievement. The use of educational technology, such as specialized software and communication aids, has proven effective in overcoming learning barriers and improving children's cognitive and motor skills. Moreover, close collaboration between parents, teachers, and other professionals is crucial in designing and implementing a comprehensive and consistent Individualized Education Plan (IEP). This research concludes that an integrated and inclusive educational service approach can provide children with special needs the best opportunities to reach their full potential in a supportive and adaptive environment.

Abstract

This study reconstructs the civilizational values of the Trumon Kingdom through an ethnopedagogical perspective as a model for strengthening character education at SMA Negeri 1 Trumon. A qualitative case study design was employed to explore local values, school practices, and the perceived effects of value-based learning. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observation, documentation, and field notes involving school leaders, teachers, students, and Trumon customary figures. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by thematic coding and triangulation. The findings reveal seven core values: religiosity, mutual cooperation, deliberation, wise leadership, respect for custom, independence, and courage. These values were transformed into an ethnopedagogical model through contextual learning, local storytelling, value discussion, school culture, social practice, and cultural projects. The model strengthened students’ religiosity, discipline, responsibility, social care, and cultural identity.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the urgency of internalizing spiritual intelligence in the midst of moral challenges in the elementary school era. This study aims to analyze the implementation, implications, and supporting or inhibiting factors of the habit of reading and memorizing short surahs of the Al-Qur'an at MIS Al-Islam, Bengkulu City. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that: 1) The habituation is integrated into the school’s routine program, specifically through collective morning recitations that involve all school members; 2) This practice significantly enhances students' spiritual intelligence, manifested in increased self-awareness, responsibility, and the ability to find spiritual meaning in daily activities; 3) While adequate facilities and teacher commitment act as primary catalysts, low student enthusiasm and inconsistent discipline remain key challenges. This study concludes that structured Qur'anic habituation is a vital instrument in shaping the spiritual character of students in Madrasah environments.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) based on a deep learning approach in elementary school science learning under the Independent Curriculum. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a field research type at Tepungsari Public Elementary School. The research subjects consisted of a fifth-grade teacher and 27 students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results showed that the implementation of PjBL was able to create active, contextual, and meaningful science learning through project activities based on the surrounding environment. The deep learning approach encouraged students to think critically, creatively, collaboratively, and reflectively during the learning process. Student creativity was seen through the ability to generate ideas, modify projects, and communicate results communicatively. Implementation constraints included limited time, learning facilities, and differences in student abilities. Teachers overcame these constraints through group mentoring, staged project management, and the use of simple media. This study provides implications that deep learning-based PjBL can be an innovative learning alternative in enhancing elementary school students' creativity under the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically analyze scientific literature regarding the application of the ADDIE model in developing interactive multimedia for Coding and AI subjects at the primary school level, identifying research trends, best practices, and gaps requiring further academic attention. The study adopts a Semantic Literature Review (SLR) approach incorporating systematic mapping and semantic analysis. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol was applied to select articles from Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and IEEE Xplore databases. A total of 47 Scopus-indexed journal articles (2015–2025) were analyzed using thematic synthesis and conceptual mapping techniques. The analysis reveals a significant increase in the application of the ADDIE model for interactive multimedia development, with a primary focus on the Development phase, which integrates AI tools for content acceleration. Key findings include: (1) a dominance of asynchronous e-learning approaches (70%) in implementation; (2) the integration of multimedia presentations through short films (35%) as a best practice; (3) a critical need for a comprehensive AI literacy framework for educators; and (4) a research gap in long-term evaluations of learning effectiveness. The ADDIE model proves effective as a systematic framework for developing Coding and AI learning multimedia in primary schools; however, it requires adaptation through generative AI integration and agile approaches to remain responsive to rapid technological advancements. Future research should focus on developing valid and reliable assessment tools to measure AI literacy in primary school students.

Abstract

AbstractThis study analyzes the representation of the eight Graduate Profile dimensions—faith and piety toward God Almighty, citizenship, critical reasoning, creativity, collaboration, independence, health, and communication—as mandated by Permendikdasmen No. 10 of 2025, within the Grade V Indonesian Language Textbook Revised 2024 of the Independent Curriculum. Employing a qualitative content analysis design, a validated coding instrument based on the regulation's operational indicators was used to systematically identify, quantify, and assess the integration quality of each dimension across all textual content types. The findings reveal that while all eight dimensions are present in the textbook, their distribution is markedly uneven. Critical reasoning (20.49%) and communication (18.54%) dominate, whereas health (4.88%), collaboration (8.78%), and citizenship (9.76%) are significantly underrepresented. The health dimension, newly introduced by the 2025 regulation, appears in only ten instances across the entire textbook and lacks dedicated learning activities. Integration quality varies substantially: critical reasoning and communication are rated high, independence, creativity, and faith and piety are medium, while citizenship, collaboration, and health are low. These results highlight a pronounced cognitive bias and an urgent need for textbook revision to ensure balanced representation of all dimensions, particularly health literacy, global citizenship, and structured collaboration. The study provides the first empirical evidence of textbook alignment with the new Graduate Profile standards and offers a replicable methodology for future instructional material evaluation.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Creative Week as a strategic approach to strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile in primary education, with a focus on implementation at SDN 76 Bengkulu City. Using a qualitative descriptive design supported by document analysis, observation, and structured interviews, the research explores how Creative Week operationalizes PBL principles through arts-based projects, cultural exploration, and community involvement. The findings reveal that Creative Week serves as an effective platform for internalizing Pancasila values, enabling students to experience collaboration, diversity appreciation, creativity, and social responsibility in authentic contexts. Despite challenges such as limited resources, time constraints, and uneven conceptual understanding among students, the overall impact on character formation is significantly positive. The study further highlights the need for stronger program planning, enhanced teacher capacity, and increased stakeholder collaboration to optimize implementation. Theoretically, the integration of PBL and Creative Week demonstrates strong pedagogical synergy in reinforcing multiple dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile, including Creativity, Critical Thinking, Independence, Mutual Cooperation, Global Diversity, and Faith and Noble Morals. The findings have wider implications for character-based education in Indonesia, suggesting that similar experiential and culturally grounded programs can be adopted across schools to strengthen national character values. Future research is encouraged to examine the long-term and comparative impacts of such initiatives.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Research-Based Learning (RBL) model on improving scientific reasoning and critical thinking skills of PGMI students in the Science learning course. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a pretest–posttest control group design. The research subjects consisted of two groups of PGMI students at IAIN Curup: the experimental group (n=30) that received learning using the RBL model and the control group (n=30) that received conventional learning. The research instruments were tests of scientific reasoning and critical thinking skills administered before (pretest) and after (posttest) the treatment. Data analysis used paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test. The results showed that: (1) there was a significant improvement in scientific reasoning skills of students in the RBL group from a pretest mean of 59.67 to 84.70 at posttest (p < 0.05); (2) there was a significant improvement in critical thinking skills from a mean of 57.83 to 69.33 (p < 0.05); and (3) there was a significant difference between the RBL group and the conventional group on both skills, with the RBL group obtaining higher scores (p < 0.05). These findings prove that the RBL model is effective in developing higher-order thinking skills of prospective madrasah ibtidaiyah teacher students. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of implementing RBL as an innovative learning alternative in higher education, particularly in teacher education programs, to prepare students for the demands of 21st-century skills
