Abstract

Student boredom in elementary school mathematics learning constitutes a significant structural barrier to numeracy competency achievement. This study aimed: (1) to analyze the effectiveness of the Brain-Based Learning (BBL) model in reducing mathematics learning boredom among fifth-grade students; and (2) to measure the improvement of mathematics learning outcomes through BBL compared to conventional instruction. A quasi-experimental design with a Non-Equivalent Control Group was employed involving 60 students. Instruments included a mathematics achievement test and a validated learning boredom scale. Results demonstrated: (1) a significant difference in learning boredom (t = 8.74; p < 0.001); (2) N-Gain of the experimental class reached a high category (g = 0.72); and (3) effect size indicated a large category (d = 1.23). The study concludes that BBL effectively creates an adaptive and enjoyable mathematics learning environment in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of microteaching in improving teaching competence and emotional intelligence of prospective teachers through a literature review approach (library research). The data were collected from various relevant sources such as academic journals, books, and previous research findings. The results indicate that microteaching has a significant contribution to enhancing pedagogical competence through systematic teaching practice, feedback, and reflection. In addition, microteaching also plays an important role in developing emotional intelligence, particularly in self-regulation, empathy, and social skills. These improvements contribute to better teaching readiness among prospective teachers in real classroom settings. However, microteaching has limitations in fully representing the complexity of real classroom situations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more contextual and integrated microteaching designs with field practice to achieve optimal outcomes.

Abstract

Learning in elementary school plays an important role in developing students’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills. However, students may experience various learning problems, particularly in Grade III. This study aims to analyze students’ learning problems, the factors influencing them, and teachers’ efforts to overcome these difficulties. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving third-grade teachers and students. The results showed that students experienced several learning problems, including lack of concentration, low learning motivation, difficulty understanding learning materials, limited participation, frequent conversations during lessons, and low confidence in expressing opinions or answering questions. These problems were influenced by internal factors, such as low interest in learning, emotional conditions, differences in learning abilities, and lack of readiness, as well as external factors, including limited teaching-method variation, inadequate instructional media, unconducive classroom conditions, and insufficient family support. Teachers addressed these problems through interactive methods, motivation, engaging learning environments, appropriate media, and individual attention.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how primary school teachers manage student behavior through communication. The study combined a descriptive library research method with a qualitative approach. Data were gathered by analyzing a variety of literary sources, including books, scholarly journals, and pertinent papers that address classroom management and communication in learning. The study's findings show that teachers' verbal and nonverbal communication techniques are crucial in influencing students' behavior and fostering a positive learning environment. Students' comprehension of rules can be enhanced, discipline can be promoted, and teacher-student relationships can be strengthened by clear, consistent, persuasive, and sympathetic communication. Additionally, the development of learning is supported without creating emotional strain through the use of proper body language and sensitive remedial communication. Therefore, the ability of primary school instructors to create and implement communication strategies that are suitable for the features of student development has a significant impact on the success of classroom management.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the KALOKA flashcard learning media based on the local wisdom of North Sumatra in the PJOK subject for students of class V OF SD Negeri 064973 Medan Tembung. The development process was carried out through the Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model consisting of five systematic stages, namely Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Validation of the media's feasibility was carried out by material experts, media experts, and educational practitioners, with an average percentage of 96.7%, indicating that the media is in the very feasible category for use in learning. The assessment of the practicality aspect obtained a score of 97.5%, indicating that the media is easy to operate, both by teachers and students, and supports an effective and conducive learning process. The visualization of basic movements presented in the media allows the delivery of basic locomotor and non-locomotor movement materials in a visual, educational, and interesting manner, thereby encouraging student independence in the learning process. The effectiveness test was conducted through an analysis of learning outcomes using a pre-test and post-test, with an average pre-test score of 54.82% and a post-test score of 86.43%. This significant improvement was supported by the N-Gain calculation of 0.7147, which is considered high. Based on these results, the learning media was declared valid, as it met the criteria for appropriate content, appearance, and functionality based on expert assessments; practical, as it could be used optimally by users in real-life learning contexts without significant obstacles; and effective, as it had a significant positive impact on improving student learning outcomes in basic locomotor and non-locomotor movement materials. Therefore, this media has the potential for wider implementation and development in other materials and educational levels.
