Abstract

The rapid changes of the twenty-first century require education systems to develop students who possess not only academic competence but also strong character and essential life skills. In Indonesia, the Pancasila Student Profile has been introduced through the Merdeka Curriculum as a strategic framework for strengthening character education while responding to global educational demands. This study aims to analyze how twenty-first-century learning approaches contribute to strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile in educational practice. This research employed a qualitative literature review design by analyzing academic journal articles, books, and policy documents related to the Pancasila Student Profile, twenty-first-century learning, and character education. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns, key findings, and relationships between contemporary pedagogical approaches and the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. The results indicate a strong alignment between the Pancasila Student Profile and twenty-first-century competencies, particularly critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Project-based learning, problem-based learning, collaborative learning, and the Project for Strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) were found to be effective in internalizing Pancasila values through contextual and experiential learning. However, challenges such as teacher readiness, limited resources, and infrastructure disparities remain significant obstacles to effective implementation.In conclusion, strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile through twenty-first-century learning requires integrated efforts involving innovative pedagogy, continuous teacher professional development, and systemic institutional support. By combining global competencies with national values, Indonesian education can foster students who are resilient, ethical, and well-prepared to face future challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of formative assessment on elementary school students’ learning achievement. The background of this research is the limited implementation of formative assessment in classroom learning, where assessment practices tend to focus on summative tests rather than continuous evaluation of the learning process. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. The study was conducted at a public elementary school in Bandung during the 2024/2025 academic year. The participants consisted of two fifth-grade classes, with one class assigned as the experimental group implementing formative assessment strategies and the other as the control group using conventional assessment methods. Data were collected over a six-week period through learning achievement tests and classroom observations. The results of the data analysis revealed a significant difference in post-test scores between the experimental and control groups. Students who experienced formative assessment showed higher learning achievement compared to those who received conventional assessment. In addition, formative assessment was found to increase student motivation, participation, and engagement in the learning process. These findings indicate that formative assessment is effective in improving students’ learning achievement and supporting a more meaningful and student-centered learning environment in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the problems of elementary school students’ understanding of mathematical concepts in relation to teachers’ teaching strategies. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using structured interviews as the main data collection technique. The participants consisted of third-grade students and a mathematics teacher at SD UPT Negeri 060866 Medan Timur. Data were analyzed through stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students’ low understanding of mathematical concepts is influenced by several interrelated factors. From the students’ perspective, the main obstacles include low learning motivation, the perception that mathematics is a difficult subject, difficulties in connecting mathematical concepts with everyday life, and limited abstract thinking abilities. From the teachers’ perspective, mathematics learning is still dominated by conventional teaching methods, limited use of learning media and concrete teaching aids, monotonous instructional strategies, and the use of language that is not aligned with students’ cognitive development. In addition, teachers rarely provide feedback or explanations regarding students’ errors in solving mathematical problems. These results indicate that students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics is closely related to the teaching strategies applied by teachers. Therefore, more interactive, contextual, and student-centered learning approaches supported by appropriate media and simple, communicative language are needed to improve students’ understanding of mathematical concepts.

Abstract

This study was conducted in response to the limited number of studies examining the integration of local wisdom in geometry learning at the elementary school level, despite its potential to enhance conceptual understanding and cultural preservation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the integration of local wisdom in teaching geometric shapes through a contextual learning model in elementary schools. This research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data were collected from relevant national and international literature and analyzed through thematic synthesis to identify patterns, concepts, and effective instructional strategies. The findings indicate that elements of local culture, such as traditional buildings, fabric motifs, traditional games, arts, and community traditions, contain various geometric concepts that can be utilized as contextual learning resources. The application of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) integrated with local wisdom has been shown to improve students’ motivation, conceptual understanding, and engagement by connecting abstract geometric concepts with students’ real-life experiences. Furthermore, this approach contributes to strengthening students’ cultural awareness and appreciation. The study concludes that integrating local wisdom into geometry learning through a contextual model enhances instructional effectiveness while supporting the development of ethnomathematics-based learning and cultural preservation in elementary education.
