The aim of the research is to determine the process of implementing Al-Qur'an learning and improving Al-Qur’an reading skills using a combination of talaqqi and ummi methods for students. The research was conducted by applying a descriptive qualitative method and subjects were taken using a purposive sampling technique. Data was taken using observation, interview and documentation techniques and then tested for validity using data triangulation. Next, data analysis techniques is carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results are 1) The implementation of a combination of talaqqi and ummi methods in improving Al-Qur’an reading skills has succeeded in creating students who meet the indicators to be said to be capable of reading the Al-Qur'an; 2) Its effectiveness can be seen from increasing skills in reading the Al-Qur'an, such as fluency, accuracy of recitation, and makhorijul letters. Challenges arise such as teacher limitations and differences in students' ability to remember letter shapes so that they do not meet the indicators. Training for tutors and assistance from parents when studying at home will maximize students’ skills in reading the Al-Qur’an.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum on the moral development of elementary school students. The Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes flexibility, relevance, and student-centered learning, is expected to contribute positively to the development of students’ character and moral values. This study employs a literature review method to examine the concept of the Merdeka Curriculum, theories of moral development in elementary school children, and the potential relationship between the curriculum and students’ moral growth. The findings indicate that the flexibility of the Merdeka Curriculum enables teachers to integrate moral values contextually and in accordance with students’ needs. In addition, project-based learning and collaborative activities have the potential to foster empathy, responsibility, and social awareness among students. However, effective implementation requires teachers to possess a deep understanding of children’s stages of moral development as well as appropriate instructional strategies. The implications of this study suggest that elementary school teachers and educational policymakers should strengthen the integration of character education and ethical digital literacy within the learning process. Furthermore, schools are encouraged to design learning activities that promote students’ moral reasoning, collaboration, and social responsibility through meaningful real-life experiences. In conclusion, the Merdeka Curriculum has significant potential to support the moral development of elementary school students. Nevertheless, its success largely depends on well-planned and adaptive implementation practices.

Abstract

This research aims to assess the effect of the Cool, Critical, Creative, and Meaningful (3CM) learning model in improving students' critical thinking skills on the topic of matrices. A quantitative approach was used, employing a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest format. The study involved 30 11th-grade science students from SMA Muhammadiyah Mlati. The instruments for this research included a critical thinking skills test based on the indicators of Focus, Reason, Inference, Situation, Clarity, and Overview, as well as a student perception questionnaire regarding the 3CM learning model. The validity and reliability tests showed that all instruments were valid and reliable. Tests for normality and linearity confirmed that the data were normally distributed and exhibited a significant linear relationship. Regression analysis demonstrated a positive and significant correlation between the 3CM model and students’ critical thinking skills (sig. = 0.003 < 0.05), with the model explaining 27.7% of the variance. The average pretest score of 61.56 increased to 85.80 in the posttest, with the greatest improvement observed in the Situation indicator. These findings indicate that the 3CM model is effective in enhancing students' critical thinking skills and contributes to the development of innovative teaching strategies in mathematics education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the Flipped Classroom strategy in learning Natural Sciences (IPA) in elementary schools, especially in shaping the character and global insight of students. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a library research method, which analyzes various literature sources such as relevant and up-to-date scientific journals.  The results show that Flipped Classroom encourages independent learning outside the classroom and collaborative activities in the classroom, which significantly improves students' conceptual understanding as well as basic scientific skills. In addition, this strategy also strengthens character traits such as independence, responsibility and tolerance, while expanding students' global horizons through access to international learning resources. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of education system support, teacher training, and the role of parents to ensure the successful implementation of this strategy in creating a learning process that is holistic, contextual, and relevant to the demands of 21st century education.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the reinforcement of discipline character through religious extracurricular activities at MI Unggulan Jabalul Khoir. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method by directly observing the implementation of religious extracurricular programs and their role in shaping students’ discipline. Data were collected through interviews with the school principal, extracurricular mentors, and 13 student participants. The analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which involves four stages: extensive data collection, data reduction based on the research focus, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validation was carried out using theoretical and source triangulation. The study found three main religious extracurricular activities: Hadrah (disciplining through art), Karate (disciplining through physical training), and Tadzkir (a more in-depth spiritual character-building program led by a religious teacher with deeper expertise). Tadzkir was integrated across all extracurricular activities and focused on leadership training, daily reflection, talent expression, and planning for the future. The program proved effective, as demonstrated by three students winning in Fahmil Qur'an and Hadrah competitions

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe learning strategies in teaching and dealing with slow learners. Various factors cause children to be slow learners, possibly from inappropriate parental education and can be high fever since infancy. This study uses a qualitative method to explore the shortcomings or challenges of each slow learner in the inclusive school. Signs of children's learning development are identified from the time they enter early school such as PG (playground) or TK (Kindergarten). Detecting slowdowns or disorders in growth and development can affect the development of the child's brain in learning. The stages in dealing with slow learners start from investigating the causes of slow learners, creating comfortable learning circles, making basic or small part assignments, using teaching methods until finding the right teaching method for slow learners and providing assistance such as accompanying teachers if needed. Teachers must study the strengths and weaknesses of each student in one class. Both regular children and children with special needs. The teacher's job is to accompany and direct students to become better individuals in the future.

Abstract

Reading literacy is an important foundation for students’ learning and academic development in elementary education. However, literacy achievement among elementary school students in Indonesia remains relatively low. This study aimed to examine school library strategies used to strengthen reading literacy among students at Mojosongo V Public Elementary School, Surakarta, Indonesia. This study employed a qualitative case study design involving librarians, teachers, and students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. The data were analysed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through source triangulation and member checking. The findings showed that reading literacy was supported through strengthening library management, implementing literacy programs through the School Literacy Program, encouraging teacher and parent involvement, improving access to reading facilities, and providing reading materials relevant to students’ interests. Several challenges were also identified, including limited human resources, inadequate digital infrastructure, and limited updated book collections. In addition, students showed higher reading motivation through literacy reward programs and regular literacy activities integrated into school routines.
