Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of interest in learning mathematics among fourth-grade students at SDN 106161 Laut Dendang on the topic of geometry and to identify the factors that influence it. The study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The research subjects consisted of 32 students who were given a questionnaire containing 17 questions about their interest in learning mathematics on the subject of flat shapes. The results showed that 50% of students had a high interest in learning, while the other 50% showed a low interest in learning. This indicates that mathematics learning on the topic of geometry is not yet fully interesting for all students. Factors that influence learning interest include students' perceptions of the difficulty of the material, the learning methods used by teachers, the availability of learning media, and support from the surrounding environment. Recommended solutions include the application of interactive learning methods, the use of concrete and digital media, linking the material to everyday life, and increasing collaboration between teachers, students, and parents. This study is expected to provide input for teachers and schools to increase student interest and learning outcomes in mathematics.

Abstract

School religious activities play a vital role in shaping students’ morality from an early age. This research aims to analyze the influence of religious activities (such as collective prayer, congregational prayer, and religious studies) on the moral development of sixth-grade students at SD IT Al Hijrah 2. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data was collected through interviews and documentation with the class teacher as the main subject. The results indicate that religious activities have a significant impact on instilling values of discipline, responsibility, and respect. Teachers primarily employ the methods of exemplary behavior, habituation, and storytelling as key strategies for moral education. The main challenges encountered include students’ lack of consistency in applying moral values outside of school, the negative influence of gadgets and social media, and variations in parental support. It is concluded that religious activities serve as a moral fortress for students, but their effectiveness highly relies on the synergy between the school, teachers, and parents.

Abstract

This study aims to review various theories, factors, and learning strategies that affect the motivation of mathematics learning of elementary school students. The type of research used is a literature review by examining 10 accredited national journals (2020–2025) and 5 latest scientific books relevant to the topic of basic education and learning psychology. The analysis was carried out descriptively through three stages: data reduction, classification, and synthesis of findings. The results of the study showed that the motivation to learn mathematics of elementary school students was influenced by a combination of internal factors (interest, self-confidence), external (teacher strategies, interactive media), and social factors (learning environment support). Strategies such as Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), formative assessments, and the use of card-based interactive media have proven to be effective in increasing student engagement. In addition, motivational theories from Deci and Ryan (2017) and Uno (2021) affirm the importance of the role of intrinsic motivation in fostering a sustained interest in learning. This study recommends that elementary school teachers develop contextual, fun, and differential mathematics learning in order to increase students' confidence and motivation to learn optimally.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically examine the application of the contextual approach (Contextual Teaching and Learning/CTL) in improving the writing skills of elementary school students. The method used is a systematic literature review by analyzing various articles and scientific books relevant to writing learning and the contextual approach. The results of the study show that the CTL approach is able to create meaningful learning by linking the material to the students' real experiences. This approach has been proven to increase students' active engagement, creativity, and ability to express ideas and thoughts in writing. In addition, CTL helps students understand the material more deeply and retain it longer in their memory. Therefore, the contextual approach is recommended as an alternative effective learning strategy to improve the writing skills of elementary school students.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between teacher motivation and student reading interest at the elementary school level. Low student reading interest remains a challenge in education, characterized by a lack of enthusiasm and independent reading habits. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. A literature review from various scientific journal sources was conducted. The results of the study indicate that teacher motivation plays a significant role in increasing students' interest in reading. Teachers who act as facilitators, motivators, and mentors are able to create a learning environment that supports a culture of literacy. The strategies implemented include providing reading corners, counseling on the importance of reading, and conducting literacy activities 15 minutes before class. These findings reinforce the importance of the active role of teachers in fostering reading interest through a fun and sustainable approach.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the state of interfaith harmony at Pelangi Elementary School, identify inhibiting factors, and design strategies for teachers to instill the values of harmony in elementary schools. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions based on the Miles and Huberman model.The results of the study indicate that harmony among students has not been optimal. Students still tend to interact with peers of the same religion, their understanding of tolerance is still superficial, there are no structured programs to foster harmony, and there is an influence from the family environment that does not sufficiently support inclusive attitudes. To address this, teachers can implement various strategies, including integrating the values of tolerance into the learning process, forming heterogeneous study groups, and organizing thematic programs like Harmony Day and interfaith social projects. In addition, parental and community involvement is essential to strengthen students’ inclusive attitudes. Teachers should also serve as role models in daily life so that students can learn from real examples. These strategies are expected to create an inclusive and harmonious school environment while fostering tolerance from an early age.

Abstract

The lack of early understanding of basic statistical concepts contributes to low numeracy literacy among Elementary School (SD) students, despite this skill being essential for daily life decision-making. This research aims to analyze and describe the significant role of integrated statistics learning in the elementary curriculum in enhancing students' numeracy literacy, particularly in their ability to interpret data, identify trends, and draw evidence-based conclusions. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design on an intervention group (receiving project-based statistics learning) and a control group (conventional mathematics learning) involving 80 Grade V students. The research findings demonstrated a significantly higher and statistically significant increase in numeracy literacy scores in the intervention group (p<0.01). Descriptively, the intervention group showed an average increase (Gain Score) of 82.32% (High category), which contrasts sharply with the control group's average increase of only 31.78% (Low category). These findings indicate that structured and contextual statistics learning plays a crucial and effective role as a tool for developing elementary students' numeracy literacy competence, strengthening their quantitative reasoning skills, and laying a solid foundation for data-based thinking.
