Abstract

This research is prompted by the low literacy, numeracy, and science skills of Indonesian students, as indicated by 2022 PISA scores, which suggest a dominance of Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS). As a strategic solution, the Ministry of Elementary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) introduced the Deep Learning approach in 2025 as a new paradigm to enhance educational quality. This study aims to explore the fundamental concepts of Deep Learning in elementary education and analyze its pedagogical relevance to the eight dimensions of the graduate profile. Using a library research method, analyzing 27 recent literature sources, the findings show that Deep Learning, anchored on the pillars of Mindful, Meaningful, and Joyful, is highly relevant in holistically integrating cognitive, affective, and spiritual domains. This approach successfully shifts learning orientation from mere content completion to the development of profound learning experiences. The study confirms that Deep Learning serves as a strategic operational mechanism for producing intelligent, character-driven graduates. The study recommends that educators reorient their roles as learning experience designers and calls for technical policy support to facilitate reflective classroom practices, bridging the gap between conceptual understanding and actual implementation in elementary schools.

Abstract

This article systematically reviews previous studies on the integration of religious character values in learning at Nature-Based Schools using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Data were collected from Google Scholar via Publish or Perish 8 (limited to journals indexed in Sinta 2 and above) and from Scopus through direct database searches. The literature selection followed the PRISMA 2020 protocol, yielding 4 eligible studies. Data were analyzed using NVivo 15 through four thematic analysis stages: coding, categorizing, interpreting, and thematic mapping. The findings reveal that the five dimensions of religiosity proposed by Glock and Stark—belief, knowledge, experience, practice, and consequences are comprehensively implemented in learning at Nature-Based Schools. Belief and knowledge serve as spiritual and intellectual foundations, while experience, practice, and consequences are reflected in students’ moral and reflective behaviors. The integration of these values is realized through Experiential Learning as the core foundation, where learning occurs through direct experience, reflection, and socio-spiritual engagement. This approach encompasses the Humanistic Approach, Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL), Religious Spiritual Approach, and Ecopedagogical Approach, which internalize religious values through social projects, outdoor learning, salat dhuha, charity, and positive habituation. Teachers act as moral exemplars and value facilitators. Overall, Experiential Learning proves effective in fostering holistic religious character formation.

Abstract

The abstract nature of geometry often creates a disconnect between mathematical concepts and students' daily lives, resulting in limited conceptual understanding in elementary education. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an ethnomathematics-based pop-up book, centered on the Tugu Yogyakarta monument, in enhancing fourth-grade students' understanding of plane geometry. Using a quantitative, quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control-group design, the research involved 30 students at SD Netral C Yogyakarta, divided into an experimental and a control group. Data were collected via expert-validated multiple-choice tests and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including the Independent Sample t-Test. Results indicated that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous (p = 0.441). The Independent Sample t-Test yielded a t-count of 3.028 with a significance of 0.004, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. These findings demonstrate that students who used the ethnomathematics pop-up book achieved significantly higher conceptual understanding than those who used conventional textbooks. The integration of 3D visual media and local cultural icons effectively bridges abstract geometric properties with concrete spatial visualization, making it a viable alternative for meaningful mathematics instruction in elementary schools.

Abstract

The science literacy score of Indonesian students is 383, far below the OECD average of 485 (OECD, 2023). This low score is due to IPAS learning process being considered abstract and difficult to understand. There is an urgent need for innovative media that not only visualizes scientific concepts concretely but also instills character values to bridge the cognitive and affective gaps among students. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Komsiga media, which integrates Islamic educational values, in improving students' science literacy skills in the subject of Force. The study applied a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design involving 30 fourth-grade elementary school students as the sole participants. The data were analyzed statistically using the mean difference test and Normalized Gain. The findings show a significant increase in learning outcomes, with the average student score jumping from 63.80 on the pre-test to 87.23 on the post-test. The N-Gain score of 0.65, which falls into the moderate category, confirms that Komsiga integrated with Islamic educational values is able to make science material easier to understand and more relevant to students. Komsiga has been proven to be effective as a bridge for conceptual understanding and character building. This study recommends that this model of integrating technology and values be expanded to other IPAS topics to support holistic learning.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a crucial core competency for elementary school students' success, yet many challenges remain in the practice of reading instruction. Learning often focuses on the literal aspect without addressing deeper cognitive aspects, such as critical thinking about texts. Critical literacy, which positions students as active readers, can be a solution in developing reading comprehension skills. This study aims to analyze the role of metacognitive awareness in critical literacy learning on elementary school students' reading comprehension skills. Using a quantitative, explanatory design, this study shows that critical literacy learning positively influences reading comprehension skills. Furthermore, metacognitive awareness plays an important role in mediating this influence, as students with strong metacognitive awareness tend to be better able to understand texts in depth. The analysis results show that critical literacy learning not only improves reading comprehension skills directly but also increases students' awareness of their thinking processes while reading. These findings suggest that a critical literacy approach integrating metacognitive awareness can improve the quality of elementary school students' reading comprehension and have important implications for the development of Indonesian language learning at the elementary level.

Abstract

This study aims to develop, evaluate the feasibility of, and analyze the potential effectiveness of the vocaroom educational game as a Canva-based instructional tool to improve English vocabulary comprehension for fourth-grade students. Utilizing the Research and Development method with the ADDIE model, the study involved 28 students at SDN Patemon 01 Semarang through a one-group pre-test-post-test design. The unique contribution of this medium lies in its integration of contextual spatial visualization and bilingual audio, which transforms conventional static digital flashcards into an explorative room-mapping experience. Through the Map Challenge and Room Conditions, students are encouraged to understand vocabulary within a concrete environmental context rather than through isolated rote memorization. Expert validation results indicate that the medium is highly feasible for implementation, with scores of 93 percent from material experts and 95 percent from media experts, confirming its alignment with the Kurikulum Merdeka. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test yielded an Asymp Sig 2-tailed value of 0.000, suggesting a significant improvement in student learning achievement from an average of 65.64 to 94.71. An N-Gain score of 0.8286 further suggests high effectiveness within this specific research context. Although these results are promising, the study acknowledges the limitations of a one-group design; therefore, further quasi-experimental research is recommended to strengthen the generalizability of the findings. Overall, the vocaroom educational game serves as a credible instrument to improve English vocabulary comprehension through an interactive spatial-mapping approach.
