Abstract

Keterampilan membuka dan menutup pembelajaran merupakan bagian penting dari keterampilan dasar mengajar yang berpengaruh terhadap keberhasilan proses pembelajaran. Namun, dalam praktiknya kedua keterampilan tersebut sering kali belum diterapkan secara optimal, khususnya dalam kegiatan microteaching. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan keterampilan membuka dan menutup pembelajaran dalam kegiatan microteaching serta implikasinya terhadap kesiapan pedagogis calon guru. Penelitian menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Data diperoleh dari buku, jurnal ilmiah, dan dokumen terkait kompetensi pedagogik guru yang dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis isi (content analysis). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan membuka pembelajaran yang efektif meliputi kemampuan menarik perhatian, membangkitkan motivasi, memberikan acuan, dan mengaitkan materi dengan pengalaman peserta didik. Sementara itu, keterampilan menutup pembelajaran dilakukan melalui kegiatan review, evaluasi, refleksi, dan tindak lanjut pembelajaran. Penguasaan kedua keterampilan tersebut terbukti mampu menciptakan pembelajaran yang lebih terstruktur, meningkatkan keterlibatan peserta didik, serta memperkuat pemahaman terhadap materi. Oleh karena itu, keterampilan membuka dan menutup pembelajaran perlu dilatih secara sistematis dalam kegiatan microteaching guna membentuk calon guru yang profesional dan kompeten.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis manajemen kelas dalam mendukung pembelajaran berdiferensiasi serta mengidentifikasi permasalahan yang terjadi selama proses pembelajaran di sekolah dasar. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Penelitian dilaksanakan di UPT SD Negeri 060792 Medan Timur dengan subjek penelitian guru kelas V dan siswa kelas V. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, dokumentasi, dan pencatatan situasi pembelajaran di kelas. Analisis data menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, sedangkan keabsahan data dilakukan melalui triangulasi teknik dan sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa manajemen kelas di UPT SD Negeri 060792 Medan Timur belum berjalan secara optimal. Permasalahan yang ditemukan meliputi rendahnya disiplin sebagian siswa selama pembelajaran, penataan tempat duduk yang masih konvensional sehingga membatasi interaksi belajar, serta adanya perbedaan karakter dan kemampuan siswa dalam memahami materi pembelajaran. Kondisi tersebut mempengaruhi keterlibatan siswa dan efektivitas proses pembelajaran di kelas. Dalam mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, guru mulai menerapkan pembelajaran berdiferensiasi melalui penyesuaian metode pembelajaran, pemberian tugas sesuai kemampuan siswa, dan pengelompokan belajar sederhana. Penerapan pembelajaran berdiferensiasi dinilai mampu membantu guru menciptakan suasana belajar yang lebih aktif, inklusif, dan kondusif. Dengan demikian, manajemen kelas yang efektif dan didukung pembelajaran berdiferensiasi memiliki peran penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran di sekolah dasar. Guru diharapkan mampu menerapkan strategi pengelolaan kelas yang fleksibel dan menyesuaikan pembelajaran dengan kebutuhan siswa yang beragam.

Abstract

This study aims to examine communication strategies that support the creation of social harmony in multicultural communities, particularly among elementary school students. The approach used is a qualitative descriptive study employing literature review and direct observation at SD Negeri 057221 in Lalang Village, Tanjung Pura Subdistrict, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. Data were obtained through analysis of academic literature as well as student interactions during learning activities and group games. The results indicate that cultural diversity in elementary schools can serve as a constructive potential if managed through inclusive, adaptive, and dialogic communication. Observations revealed that children interact more easily when engaged in light-hearted games, which foster cooperation, empathy, and mutual respect. Minor instances of stereotyping and teasing among students were still observed, but these can be minimized through teacher-guided interactive communication strategies. Thus, communication strategies serve not only as a means of conveying messages but also as a primary mechanism for building social solidarity and strengthening character education amidst diversity.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how students participate in microteaching techniques as a differentiated learning management strategy in PGSD Unimed. Differentiated learning is a teaching strategy that modifies learning environments, products, processes, and content based on students' learning profiles, interests, and readiness. Observation, interviews, and data analysis were among the descriptive and qualitative techniques used in this study. The results show that students also developed classroom management skills during the microteaching practice. They received training on time management, fostering a supportive learning environment, and developing productive relationships with students, even if it took the shape of a simulation. Students' enthusiasm and learning outcomes are greatly enhanced by diverse learning. Teachers are better able to provide a conducive learning environment when their teaching strategies are adapted to the individual qualities of each student. This makes it easier for students to comprehend the subject matter being taught.

Abstract

The present investigation is directed at examining how teachers’ fundamental instructional skills are enacted within the learning activities of elementary schools in Medan City. These foundational teaching competencies constitute a critical element of pedagogical expertise, as they underpin the development of learning environments that are effective, engaging, and meaningful for students. A qualitative methodology was adopted, with the study structured as a case study. The participants comprised four elementary school teachers who were deliberately selected through purposive sampling, taking into account their teaching experience. Data collection was conducted by means of semi-structured interviews complemented by document analysis. Subsequently, the gathered data were processed using a descriptive qualitative analytical framework. The findings demonstrate that educators have applied a range of essential teaching skills, encompassing questioning techniques, reinforcement strategies, variation in instructional methods and media, explanatory abilities, lesson initiation, and classroom management. In practice, teachers utilized open-ended questioning to stimulate student engagement, delivered reinforcement in the form of praise and motivational support, and incorporated instructional media—such as digital television, visual images, and educational videos—to facilitate students’ comprehension. Moreover, the study identifies notable distinctions in instructional approaches between teachers in public elementary schools and those in private Islamic elementary institutions, particularly in the application of teaching skills. In general, the effective use of these fundamental teaching competencies fosters more dynamic classroom interaction and enhances students’ motivation to learn. Accordingly, the study underscores the importance of sustained professional development in pedagogical skills as a means to elevate the overall quality of elementary education.   Keywords: Basic Teaching Skills, Pedagogical Competence, Elementary School Learning, Teaching  Strategies, Student Learning Motivation   ABSTRAK   Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji penerapan keterampilan dasar mengajar guru dalam proses pembelajaran di sekolah dasar di Kota Medan.
