Abstract

This study aims to improve the reading literacy skills of elementary school students through the implementation of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) integrated with the local wisdom of the Dayak Belusu community. Reading literacy in this research is defined as the ability to understand, interpret, and reflect on written texts at literal, inferential, and summarizing levels. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the spiral model of Kemmis and McTaggart, consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The participants were fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 014 Tana Tidung, North Kalimantan. Data were collected through observation sheets, reading literacy tests, and teacher interviews, and analyzed using quantitative descriptive and qualitative techniques. The results of Cycle I showed that students’ reading literacy was still dominated by literal comprehension and that their participation in discussions was relatively low. After revising the learning strategy in Cycle II, student participation exceeded 80% on most indicators, and the average literacy test score increased from 58 to 76. Teacher interviews confirmed positive changes in cognitive, affective, and attitudinal aspects, including confidence, discipline, and cooperation. These findings indicate that CTL integrated with Dayak Belusu local wisdom effectively enhances reading literacy while strengthening cultural identity and positive character.

Abstract

This study shows how elementary school teachers in Bekasi see the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their teaching. It focuses on three key areas: knowing about digital rights, who owns the things created with AI, and which AI models teachers prefer. The research used a quantitative method, asking 394 teachers chosen through purposeful sampling. Data was gathered using well-tested questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS, using methods like descriptive stats, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings show that all three factors have a positive and strong impact on how teachers view AI in education (with a significance level less than 0.05), with digital rights knowledge being the most important. The findings indicate that teachers' readiness to adopt AI is influenced not only by technical skills but also by an understanding of digital ethics and law. In conclusion, teacher capacity development needs to combine technical and ethical training, along with policy and infrastructure support, to encourage the responsible and sustainable use of AI.

Abstract

This paper discussed the translation processes of PhET interactive simulation  into Ibibio langauge in the concept of special angles. The study uses the translated PhET applet to design a seamless and culturally responsive approach of learning the concepts of special angles, and to assess the academic achievement of students in special angles. The study was quasi-experimental, with three treatment groups, purposively sampled. The findings show that students taught the concept of special angles using PhET interactive simulations with culturally responsive approach obtained significantly higher academic achievement scores when compared to their counterpart taught the same concept using Interactive Lecturing Approach. Although the study yielded a high statistical power, there was no practical significant difference on students’ academic achievements when taught special angles using PhET interactive simulations with culturally responsive approach, and when taught the same concept using PhET interactive simulation without culturally responsive approach. Gender exerted a non-significant influence on students’ academic achievements among the groups. Hence, using PhET interactive simulations with mother tongue features, enhanced academic achievement of students, and contextual instructional delivery in Mathematics. Also, the study underpins situated understanding of Mathematical concepts, leading to optimal learning experiences. In the same vein, it fosters the enculturation of mathematical concepts, glocalization of ethnopedagogical techniques, and reverts the extinction of mother tongue in the Nigerian culture. It was recommended that virtual and culturally responsive strategies should be adopted by instructors to diversify instructional delivery in mathematics education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Project-Based Scientific Approach (PjBL-SA) in science and social studies learning and its influence on elementary students’ critical thinking skills. Conducted in Grade V of SDN 013 Tana Tidung, this mixed-method research integrated qualitative observations and quantitative testing. Data were gathered through classroom observations, questionnaires, critical thinking tests, and interviews with teachers and students. The results showed that the PjBL-SA model effectively enhanced students’ learning engagement and conceptual understanding. Students reported increased motivation (78%), better comprehension through practice (82%), and higher enjoyment in group learning (75%). Statistical analysis using a paired t-test demonstrated a significant improvement in critical thinking performance (pretest = 62.3; posttest = 78.9; t = 6.24; p < 0.05), with the highest gain in the inference indicator (0.42). Pearson correlation analysis further indicated a strong positive relationship between project involvement and critical thinking (r = 0.63; p < 0.01). These findings confirm that PjBL-SA fosters students’ critical, creative, and collaborative abilities, making it a relevant and innovative instructional strategy for IPAS in elementary education.

Abstract

The decline in the practice of traditional games due to modernization has limited opportunities for students to experience character formation through culturally rooted activities. This study aims to explore the relevance of Bengkulu coastal traditional games in shaping elementary school students’ civic disposition and to examine their alignment with Lickona’s eleven essential moral values. The main contribution of this study is the development of a model that integrates local traditional games into formal and informal education as a medium for character and civic education. A systematic literature review method was employed by analyzing thirty research articles published between 2020 and 2025. The analysis shows that traditional games such as Cabur, Congkak, Sekejaran, Bakiak, Bekel, Ingkau, and Lompek Kodok reflect key moral values including responsibility, honesty, fairness, tolerance, wisdom, self-discipline, cooperation, empathy, courage, and democratic participation. The study proposes three integration models: intraclass learning, Profil Pelajar Pancasila projects, and extracurricular activities. These findings demonstrate that traditional games not only preserve cultural heritage but also function as effective pedagogical tools to internalize moral and civic values. It is concluded that Bengkulu coastal traditional games provide a strategic and innovative approach to support character education in elementary schools.

Abstract

Digital literacy is essential in biology learning as students increasingly use digital sources to access scientific information. However, many students still struggle to evaluate online information, while digital platforms often emphasize content delivery rather than digital literacy development. This study examined the effectiveness of a Google Sites-based digital module integrated with RICOSRE in improving students’ digital literacy. This study employed a quasi-experimental method by comparing two intact groups through pretest and posttest procedures. The participants involved 70 students: 34 in the experimental group and 36 in the control group. Data were collected through a test instrument that had been validated and developed with reference to Greenstein’s framework, covering information finding, use of multiple sources, information selection, information evaluation, source and message consideration, and production of original work. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA, N-gain, and effect size. The analysis revealed a significant difference in digital literacy scores, with the experimental group outperforming the control group after controlling for pretest scores, F = 128.008, p < 0.001, partial η² = 0.656. The N-gain score was also higher in the experimental group, 0.57 versus 0.28. These findings indicate that the module effectively strengthens students’ digital literacy in biology learning.
