Abstract

During the learning process, students appeared less enthusiastic in paying attention to the teacher’s explanations, they seemed uninterested and bored because the learning activities were predominantly teacher-centered and provided limited opportunities for students to think and actively engage in learning. Furthermore, students were rarely given the chance to interact with their peers to share ideas or thoughts in solving a problem, resulting in a poor understanding of the concepts being studied. This study aims to determine whether the Problem Based Learning model assisted by Wordwall media influences students’ conceptual understanding in the Science and Social Studies (IPAS) subject of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 3 Mamben Lauk. The population of this study consisted of 43 students, and the entire population served as the sample. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with The Posttest Only Control Group Design. Data on students' conceptual understanding were collected through multiple-choice tests. The data were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test technique. The analysis results showed that the experimental class had an average score of 77.95, while the control class had an average score of 70.43. The T-test results yielded a significance value of 0.003 < 0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the Problem Based Learning model assisted by Wordwall media on students' conceptual understanding in the IPAS subject of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 3 Mamben Lauk.

Abstract

Studies on stylistics in modern Arabic poetry that focus on the representation of the sacralization of women through linguistic elements have not been widely done. This research aims to analyze the use of diction and language style and reveal the mechanism of sacralization of women in the poem I Witness No Women Other Than You by Nizar Qabbani. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a stylistic approach. The research data was in the form of four poems that were selected using purposive sampling techniques and collected through literature studies, listening techniques, note techniques, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out based on the theory of diction and the style of the Gorys Keraf language supported by Burhan Nurgiyantoro's image theory. The results of the study show that the use of connotative, symbolic, and religious diction combined with the style of hyperbolic language, metaphor, simile, and allusion forms the representation of women as noble and high-value figures. This representation is strengthened by the dominance of visual, movement, and touching imagery that presents an aesthetic experience while deepening poetic meaning. These findings show that the sacredization of women is built through the integration of stylistic elements, so this research is expected to expand the study of the stylistics of modern Arabic literature.

Abstract

This study examines the sacralization of Arabic-language songs in Indonesian Muslim digital culture, where Arabic is often associated with Islamic religiosity and sacredness. This phenomenon is reflected in the song Nawwarti Ayyami, which is widely used in hadrah performances, majelis sholawat, pesantren activities, and religious social media content despite containing themes of romantic love and emotional intimacy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the sacred and the profane in the song and to interpret its denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings based on Indonesian Muslim perceptions. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. Data were collected through lyric analysis, TikTok and YouTube content, and social media comments representing public reception. The findings reveal that, at the denotative level, the song expresses love and emotional closeness, while at the connotative level it evokes a spiritual atmosphere through the Arabic language, musical intonation, and cultural associations with Islamic symbols. At the mythical level, Arabic is constructed as a representation of sacredness and Muslim religious identity. The study concludes that Nawwarti Ayyami functions not only as popular music but also as a medium for producing religious meaning in contemporary digital culture. This sacralization is reinforced by the Arabic language, its use in religious contexts, and repeated circulation on social media.

Abstract

Digital technology in early childhood education often remains limited to watching and repetitive practice, although digital literacy requires critical, creative, ethical, and contextually meaningful participation. This study mapped young children's digital literacy, examined teachers' pedagogical practices, and identified design requirements for a Deep Digital Play-Based Learning model. A cross-sectional descriptive survey with dual-source needs analysis was conducted. The initial child dataset contained 87 records; five were excluded because reported ages fell outside the 4-to-under-7 criterion, leaving 82 valid records. The teacher dataset comprised 17 educators. The child instrument included 15 items across five dimensions on a four-point scale, whereas the teacher instrument included 14 items across seven dimensions on a five-point scale. Data were analyzed using means, standard deviations, 95% confidence intervals, low-score proportions, Cronbach's alpha, and Friedman tests. Children's overall digital literacy averaged 3.06 (SD = 0.42), with digital creativity as the lowest dimension (M = 3.01). Using camera or recording features to document ideas was the weakest child indicator (M = 2.99; 15.9% low scores). Teachers' pedagogical practices averaged 3.18 (SD = 0.38), but creative production was the weakest dimension (M = 2.82), followed by collaborative sharing (M = 3.00). Facilitating original digital products was the lowest teacher indicator (M = 2.63; 35.3% low scores). The findings reveal a consistent gap between basic device use and productive, reflective, critical, and collaborative digital practices. The model should integrate meaningful triggers, guided exploration, digital creation, critical-ethical dialogue, reflective pauses, and digital-unplugged transfer.

Abstract

Empowerment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is generally still oriented towards conventional training and is not based on analysis of business needs or utilization of local potential. This study aims to develop an empowerment model for MSMEs processing spices and local food based on entrepreneurship education that suits the needs of MSMEs in Ternate City. The research method used Design Based Research (DBR) combined with action research, which included needs analysis, initial prototype development, and limited trials on 12 MSMEs. Data were collected through observation, interviews, focus group discussions, learning outcome tests, performance assessments, and observation of participant activities, then analyzed descriptively qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that the developed model consisted of entrepreneurship education materials based on local potential, practice-based learning, and learning tools in the form of an empowerment book and a facilitator's guide. The trial results showed that most participants achieved good to excellent categories across all materials, with the highest achievements in nutmeg processing (92%) and product packaging selection (91%). The model also increased active participant participation during learning. These findings indicate that the empowerment model based on entrepreneurship education is feasible to implement to improve the competence and competitiveness of MSMEs based on spices and local food.

Abstract

Conservation education in primary schools is seen as an important strategy for developing ecological understanding and environmental awareness through contextual, applied, and experience-based learning. The purpose of this study was to determine teachers' perceptions of conservation, teachers' perceptions of conservation education, and teachers' perceptions of conservation content based on local wisdom. The research method used mixed methods with a sequential exploratory mixed method type. This study consisted of 92 primary school teachers from various schools in Banten Province. The data collection techniques used in this study were questionnaires, interviews, observation, and documentation. The techniques used were descriptive quantitative analysis and thematic qualitative analysis. The results of this study revealed that teachers' perceptions of conservation showed a very high awareness of environmental conservation, teachers' perceptions of conservation education had been integrated into learning, but had not been implemented consistently, and teachers' perceptions of local-based conservation content were still limited and uneven. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that primary school teachers have a high awareness of environmental conservation, but the implementation of local-based conservation education in the classroom is still inconsistent and requires strengthening of competencies and support for contextual teaching materials.

Abstract

One of the problems with religious character is caused by the student management system that has not yet been managed in an integrated manner. In addition, Islamic religious education in elementary schools still emphasizes knowledge aspects more than the formation of attitudes and behaviors. The purpose of this research is to develop and test the effectiveness of the ISLAM Model (Integrated Student Life and Akhlak Management) based on Islamic values in shaping the religious character of elementary school students. This study employed a quantitative approach using a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Experimental Design to evaluate the effectiveness of the ISLAM Model (Integrated Student Life and Akhlak Management) based on Islamic values in improving the religious character of elementary school students. The subjects of this study are 46 fourth-grade students and 2 teachers at Muhammadiyah Bangka Belitung Elementary School, selected thru purposive sampling. Based on descriptive analysis, there was an increase in the average score from 42.3 on the pretest to 52.1 on the posttest. In addition, the results of the paired sample t-test showed a t-value of -11.3 with p < 0.001, indicating a highly significant difference between the conditions before and after the implementation of the model. The implementation of the ISLAM Model (Integrated Student Life and Akhlak Management) based on Islamic values has proven effective in enhancing the religious character of elementary school students.

Abstract

Since environmental problems have reached a global level, it is important to determine reasons for people treating the environment badly. The New Ecological Paradigm Scale or the revised New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) Scale is an instrument used to measure environmental worldview. This study aimed to assess the environmental worldview of Biology education students using the New Ecological Paradigm Scale and see the differences in terms of gender and learning style. This research is included in a cross-sectional study (N = 170). The sample consisted of 143 females (84%) and 27 males (16%) distributed across three learning styles: visual, auditory, and motor, conducted among Biology education students in West Nusa Tenggara. Samples were taken using a cluster sampling design. The study utilized an adopted 15-item version of the revised NEP Scale (Dunlap et al., 2000), consisting of 8 positive and 7 negative statements rated on a 5-point Likert scale, with its validity and reliability statistically verified prior to the main survey. Data analysis was performed using ANOVA. The overall mean score for the New Ecological Paradigm Scale in this study was 59, which indicated a moderate environmental worldview. Descriptively, female students obtained a mean score of 58.5. Meanwhile, regarding learning modalities, students with visual, auditory, and motor learning styles all exhibited a uniformly moderate environmental worldview, with their respective mean scores tightly clustering within a narrow range of 58 to 59. Consequently, the ANOVA analysis confirmed that there are no statistically significant differences in the environmental worldview based on either gender (p = 0.953) or specific learning style categories (p = 0.781). This study revealed an overall moderate NEP response in undergraduate biology education students and identified specific areas where environmental education could play a role.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of imbalanced data in public health, particularly in nutritional surveillance among school-aged children, poses a significant challenge in accurately identifying cases of malnutrition, where the majority class (well-nourished children) often overshadows minority cases, leading to biased predictive outcomes. This issue is especially critical within the Free Nutritious Food (MBG) Program, where early detection of at-risk children is essential for effective intervention. Therefore, this study aims to develop a more reliable predictive model that can address class imbalance and improve the detection of malnutrition. To achieve this, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) was applied to balance the dataset by generating synthetic samples of the minority class, followed by classification using a Support Vector Machine (SVM). The model was evaluated using various train-test split ratios and assessed through multiple performance metrics, including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Cohen’s kappa, and AUC. The findings reveal that conventional SVM models trained on imbalanced data fail to detect malnutrition cases, resulting in zero sensitivity despite high accuracy. In contrast, the SMOTE-enhanced SVM significantly improves detection performance, achieving sensitivity above 90% and accuracy between 95% and 97%, with the optimal model obtained at an 70:30 split ratio. In conclusion, integrating SMOTE with SVM effectively overcomes class imbalance and provides a robust predictive framework for early identification of malnutrition in school-aged children.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Monopoly media on IPAS learning outcomes and critical thinking skills among fourth-grade elementary school students. The study responds to the persistent challenge of low learning achievement and limited critical thinking resulting from teacher-centered instructional practices. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of PBL with Monopoly-based educational media to create a contextual and engaging learning environment in IPAS instruction. A quantitative approach with a posttest-only control group experimental design was employed. The study was conducted during the second semester of the 2025/2026 academic year at SDN 2 Alasmalang and SDN 1 Benelan Kidul, Banyuwangi Regency. The sample consisted of 47 fourth-grade students, including 24 students in the experimental group and 23 students in the control group. The experimental group received PBL instruction supported by Monopoly media, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data were collected through tests, observation, and documentation. Learning outcomes were measured using multiple-choice tests, whereas critical thinking skills were assessed through essay tests covering interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation. Data were analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests followed by independent-samples t-tests. The findings revealed that the PBL model assisted by Monopoly media significantly improved IPAS learning outcomes (p = 0.006) and critical thinking skills (p = 0.009). These results suggest that integrating PBL with Monopoly media is an effective instructional strategy for promoting meaningful learning and enhancing higher-order thinking skills in elementary IPAS education.
