Abstract

Background: Ethnomathematics is a mathematics learning approach integrating students' cultural and social contexts into mathematical content. This approach is important for enhancing the relevance and understanding of mathematics at the elementary school level, particularly in fostering multicultural awareness and promoting social justice. However, its implementation still faces various challenges, including issues related to the curriculum, teacher preparedness, and the availability of culture-based teaching materials. Aim: This study aims to analyze the urgency of implementing ethnomathematics in elementary mathematics education and to identify the challenges encountered in its application. A literature review method was employed, analyzing journal articles, books, and previous research on ethnomathematics, elementary mathematics curricula, and culture-based learning practices. Data were collected from databases such as ERIC, Google Scholar, and Scopus and then analyzed thematically. Result and Discussions: The findings indicate that ethnomathematics is highly urgent for (1) increasing students' learning motivation through familiar cultural contexts, (2) developing critical thinking regarding socio-cultural realities, and (3) supporting inclusive education. However, implementation challenges include (1) a lack of teacher training in designing culture-based materials, (2) limited standardized ethnomathematics resources, and (3) resistance from an education system still oriented toward national examinations.

Abstract

Background: This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in the Pancasila Education subject at SDN 2 Panarung. Preliminary observations indicated that students experienced difficulties in understanding the learning material, resulting in low achievement of the Minimum Mastery Criteria (MMC). Aim:  This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of implementing a roleplay method based on the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model to improve students’ learning outcomes. Method: The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 15 fourth-grade students. Data were collected using learning outcome tests in the form of pre-tests and post-tests consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions related to the Pancasila Education material on unity and solidarity in diversity. The data were analyzed descriptively by calculating the average score and the percentage of students who achieved the MMC. The results showed that only 13% of students achieved the MMC in the pre-test, while 87% did not. After the implementation of the action in Cycle I, the percentage of students achieving mastery increased to 60%. Further improvement in Cycle II resulted in all students (100%) achieving the MMC. Result and Discussions: These findings indicate that integrating the roleplay method into the PBL model can support students’ understanding of learning material and improve cognitive learning outcomes. Conclusion, the implementation of the roleplay method based on the PBL model was effective in improving the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in Pancasila Education within the context of Classroom Action Research. However, this study was limited to one class and focused only on short-term cognitive outcomes. These findings provide practical evidence for elementary school teachers to integrate roleplay into PBL-oriented instruction to enhance cognitive learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study is an experimental research using the "One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test Design." The population of the study consisted of all 35 students in class XII MIPA 4 at MAN Kota Palangka Raya. The study used a sample selected through purposive sampling, a non-random sampling technique based on specific criteria or objectives. In this case, the targeted objective was students who were categorized as having low understanding of career decision-making. According to Arikunto (2017), if the subject number is fewer than 100, the entire population can be used as the sample. Therefore, the researcher used the entire population as the sample, since it was fewer than 100 students. The main data collection technique used by the researcher was a questionnaire distributed to assess the improvement in students’ understanding of career choices after being given informational services. Data analysis was conducted using parametric statistics through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, with the help of the SPSS version 25 statistical software, since the data was normally distributed. The researcher drew conclusions based on statistical results. The research findings showed that the result of the t-test using the Paired Sample t-Test was sig. 0.000 < 0.05, and the calculated t-value (tcount) was greater than the table value (ttable), namely 10.822 > 2.052. Thus, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of booklet media can assist students in understanding career choices in class XII MIPA 4 at MAN Kota Palangka Raya.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of ecological messages from the Qur’an and Hadith into primary school education as a means to foster ecological awareness and character in young learners. Amidst the global environmental crisis, early education plays a pivotal role in shaping values and behaviors that support sustainability. While environmental themes are present in Indonesia’s primary curriculum, they often lack spiritual grounding. Islam offers rich theological and ethical foundations for environmental care, such as the prohibition of corruption (fasād), the role of humans as stewards (khalifah), the importance of balance (mīzān), and commands for cleanliness. This qualitative research utilizes document analysis and content analysis to examine how these values can be contextualized in classroom practices. The findings reveal that the Qur’an and Hadith provide not only cognitive knowledge but also spiritual and moral imperatives that can be internalized through thematic learning, project-based activities, and character education. The Merdeka Curriculum and the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) enable cross-subject integration of Islamic ecological values in subjects like Islamic Education, Science, Social Studies, and Bahasa Indonesia. Teachers play a crucial role as value facilitators by modeling environmentally conscious behavior rooted in Islamic teachings. Furthermore, the involvement of families and communities enhances the educational impact, reinforcing that caring for the environment is an act of worship. This research contributes to the development of spiritually grounded environmental education strategies and highlights the potential of Islamic values to promote sustainable living from an early age.

Abstract

The Individualized Curriculum or Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a learning approach designed to accommodate the unique needs of Children with Special Needs (CSN) within inclusive education systems. This study analyzed 24 peer-reviewed articles using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with VOSviewer visualization to identify factors influencing IEP implementation in inclusive elementary schools, particularly within the Palangka Raya context. The review covered literature published between 2015 and 2024 and focused on the planning, execution, and evaluation of IEPs. Findings suggest that IEP success depends significantly on teacher competencies, supportive school policies, parental involvement, and access to adequate resources. While certain schools in Palangka Raya have initiated IEP practices, challenges remain in terms of structural, technical, and cultural barriers. VOSviewer-based visualizations highlight key focus areas in the literature such as "child," "special," and "elementary school," demonstrating an increased scholarly emphasis on inclusive practices. The study recommends enhancing teacher training, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and formulating locally tailored IEP guidelines.
