Abstract

The uniqueness of each learner's learning style, whether visual, auditory, or kinesthetic, demands teacher attention. By fulfilling diverse learning needs, learners feel more valued, spurring learning outcomes and motivation. This research examines the impact of differentiated learning styles on IV-grade students' mathematics performance and motivation. An approach focused on quantifiable data utilizing a posttest-only control group design was employed in this study. A total of 31 learners, divided into control and experimental groups, were tested. Data were collected through administering tests and questionnaires. The findings of the study showed a striking difference. The control class had an average learning outcome of 66 and an average motivation of 65.1, while the experimental class achieved an average learning outcome of 92.5 and an average motivation of 86.1. The hypothesis analysis conducted using Jamovi 2.3.28 confirmed this difference, showing a p-value of < 0.001 in both multivariate tests (including Pillai's Trace, Wilks' Lambda, Hotelling's Trace, and Roy's Largest Root) and univariate tests with the same significance level. These findings suggest that differentiated learning enhances student outcomes and motivation.

Abstract

Education plays a fundamental role in shaping future generations who are intellectually competent and morally grounded. In Indonesia, curriculum reforms such as the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) have been introduced to foster these values ​​through intracurricular activities, the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5), and extracurricular programs. One key component of the P5 initiative is the instillation of religious character, which aligns with the first principle of Pancasila. This study examines the influence of religious activities on students' religious character. This type of research is quantitative with a habituation method. This study was chosen to measure the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Data analysis techniques in this study were adjusted to the type of approach and research hypothesis. This study involved 55 fifth-grade students divided into two groups, namely the experimental and control classes. Data were collected through pretests and posttests, which were then analyzed using the T-test to test the hypothesis. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control classes, with a p-value <0.001 indicating that the role of religious ritual activities positively affects students' religious character.

Abstract

This study explores fifth-grade students' mathematical thinking processes, specifically how they interpret and solve addition and subtraction problems in story-based contexts. Using a qualitative case study approach, five students from an elementary school in Yogyakarta were examined through interviews, observations, and mathematics problem-solving tasks. The data were analyzed using inductive thematic coding to uncover patterns in computational strategy and conceptual understanding. Results showed that students employed diverse techniques such as horizontal and vertical stacking, semantic and computational sentence transformation, and even-number decomposition. These strategies reflected varying levels of comprehension regarding commutative and associative mathematical properties. Moreover, students who had difficulty translating story problems into mathematical expressions typically showed weak understanding of operational meaning and structure. The study found that most students shifted from semantic to computational forms for ease in calculation. This suggests the need for instructional support to enhance students’ conceptual grasp of operations. Overall, this study provides insights into how mathematical thinking can be developed through contextual learning and supports integrating meaningful problem-solving practices into mathematics education.

Abstract

The low reading skills of some fourth-grade students at Tanjung Waras Public Elementary School require more effective and supportive learning strategies. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the peer tutoring method in improving reading skills and examine its impact on students' motivation and social dynamics. The study used a descriptive case study approach with stages of diagnostic assessment, implementation of peer tutoring through the "Antaca" team, daily observations, informal interviews, and evaluation of reading development. Data were collected naturally and analyzed qualitatively through the stages of data presentation, reduction, interpretation, and conclusion drawing, as well as through source triangulation. The results showed that peer tutoring can be applied systematically and creates a non-intimidating learning environment, supported by picture-based teaching materials that facilitate the decoding process. The findings also revealed significant improvements in reading fluency, letter recognition accuracy, and students' courage in reading aloud. In addition, this method has a positive impact on learning motivation and social dynamics, marked by increased self-confidence, mutual support, and a more harmonious classroom atmosphere. The study concluded that peer tutoring is effective as a pedagogical strategy for improving basic literacy and building an inclusive classroom climate. The implications of the research confirm that teachers can adopt this approach to strengthen reading learning, especially in classes with heterogeneous abilities.
