Abstract

Effective communication skills constitute a crucial foundation for the development of children’s social and academic competencies, making it essential to cultivate these skills from an early age in elementary education. This study aims to enhance students’ effective communication skills through the implementation of the Quantum Teaching Model (QTM), which is believed to foster interactive learning and improve students’ communicative abilities. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, involving 20 students from SD Negeri 2 Tambun, selected through representative sampling. Students were presented with open-ended problems requiring multiple solutions, thereby stimulating critical thinking and creativity. Data analysis was integrated with triangulation techniques through stages of data collection, simplification, categorization, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate an improvement in students’ communication skills across the dimensions of curiosity (13.40%), attitude (8.25%), competitiveness (12.89%), and external motivation (14.44%). These findings affirm that the implementation of QTM promotes more active and participatory learning interactions, thereby enhancing students’ communication skills and supporting the development of 21st-century competencies, particularly critical thinking, collaboration, and interactive communication. This study provides significant contributions to the development of QTM-based instructional strategies oriented toward improving students’ communication competencies and classroom interactions.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited development of elementary school students’ creativity in science learning, particularly in higher-order cognitive skills such as creation. It aims to analyze students’ creativity through STEAM-based science activities in prototype development. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using a multiple-case study design, involving 10–15 students aged 6–12 years. Data were collected through direct observation and structured interviews during two engineering-themed science activities, namely Brush Bot and X-Ray projects. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ creativity, with 80% in the Brush Bot activity and 83% in the X-Ray activity reaching highly creative levels, characterized by artistic quality and functional outcomes. Creativity was assessed through fluency, originality, flexibility, and elaboration, all of which demonstrated very good performance. The results further reveal that STEAM-based activities effectively foster curiosity, independence, and a shift from output-oriented to outcome-oriented thinking. These findings imply that integrating STEAM-based prototype development into elementary science learning constitutes an effective pedagogical strategy to enhance students’ creativity and higher-order thinking skills.

Abstract

This study originates from the suboptimal understanding of the concepts of multiplication and division among elementary school students, which should serve as an important foundation for learning more complex mathematics material. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the drill and practice method in improving mastery of these concepts. The approach used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design of the one-group pretest-posttest type, involving 13 students as a saturated sample from the Shallom Wamena Sunday School community. Data collection was carried out through tests and documentation, then analyzed using a paired sample t-test and N-Gain at a significance level of 0.05 with the help of SPSS 23. The results showed a statistically significant increase (Sig. 0.012 < 0.05) after the application of the method, although the level of improvement based on N-Gain (0.30) was classified as low. These findings indicate that the drill and practice method is effective but not yet optimal in improving deep conceptual understanding. The implications confirm the importance of developing a learning design that not only focuses on repetitive exercises, but also the need to integrate a more constructivistic, contextual, and interaction-based approach to maximize the impact of the results of the method.

Abstract

This study is grounded in the issue of suboptimal development of cooperation and solidarity among elementary school students, which has not been effectively fostered through conventional instructional approaches. The study aims to explore in depth the essential experiences of students participating in scouting-based educational outbound activities using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation at SDN 3 Tolitoli, with a focus on group interaction dynamics, student engagement, and the role of supervising teachers. Data analysis was conducted thematically to uncover the meaning of participants’ collective experiences. The findings indicate that structured outbound activities such as collaborative games, knot-tying exercises, marching drills, and stretcher simulations significantly enhance the quality of social interaction, collective responsibility, and collaborative problem-solving skills. The discussion suggests that experiential learning and group dynamics effectively facilitate the internalization of cooperation and solidarity values, as reflected in improved interpersonal communication, mutual trust, role awareness, and team adaptability. The study implies that integrating scouting-based outbound activities serves as a transformative pedagogical approach, offering strong relevance for sustainably strengthening students’ social competencies.

Abstract

The central phenomenon of this study is the suboptimal social interaction among students from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds in multicultural elementary schools, which may lead to both cooperation and conflict. This study aims to describe forms of social interaction, identify influencing factors, and examine the roles of teachers and schools in fostering harmony at SDN 4 Kamalu. The participants include the principal, teachers, and student representatives from various ethnic and religious groups. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and triangulation-based conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that interactions occur in both associative and dissociative forms. Associative interactions are reflected in cooperation, tolerance, and mutual assistance, while dissociative interactions appear as competition and minor conflicts. Influencing factors include imitation, suggestion, identification, sympathy, empathy, cultural diversity, communication patterns, and the school environment. Teachers and schools play a strategic role by fostering values of tolerance and respect for diversity. These findings highlight the potential of multicultural elementary schools in promoting tolerance and social cohesion through inclusive pedagogical practices and sustainable policies.  The strengthening of inclusive pedagogical practices and school policies constitutes the final recommendation of this study.

Abstract

Colonial historical heritage in various regions of Indonesia continues to face challenges in preservation and educational utilization. One example is the veldboxes in Tolitoli Regency, which remain relatively unfamiliar to local communities and have not been optimally integrated into educational practices. As a result, students have limited understanding of their local history. This study aims to examine the existence of veldboxes as Dutch colonial heritage in Tolitoli Regency and explore their relevance to elementary Social Studies education. A qualitative approach was employed using Archaeological Object Study and Field Research methods at seven Dutch colonial veldbox sites. Data were collected through field observations, documentation, and interviews with local historians, nearby residents, teachers, and the principal. The findings indicate that the veldboxes were constructed around the 1940s as defensive bunkers and coastal observation posts. Their conditions vary from relatively intact to severely damaged, with only two sites officially designated as cultural heritage assets. The study also found that veldbox history has not yet been integrated into Social Studies instruction at SDN 1 Nalu. Nevertheless, these structures have considerable potential as contextual local-history learning resources through field visits, visual media, and instructional modules, thereby enhancing students’ historical understanding and cultural awareness.
