Abstract

Beginning reading skills are a fundamental foundation for early literacy development. This study aimed to describe the forms of beginning reading difficulties experienced by second-grade students at MI Muhammadiyah Buntu Barana, identify the contributing factors, and formulate the implications of diagnostic analysis for improving reading instruction. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-diagnostic design. The subjects were second-grade students who experienced beginning reading difficulties, while the informants were the classroom teacher and the school principal. Data were collected through observation, beginning reading tests, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source, technique, and time triangulation. The findings showed that 8 out of 12 students, or 66.7%, experienced beginning reading difficulties. These difficulties included recognizing letters, distinguishing visually similar letters, associating letters with sounds, reading syllables, reading simple words, reading fluently, and comprehending simple texts. The contributing factors originated from internal and external aspects. The diagnostic analysis provides a basis for teachers to design more adaptive reading instruction through phonics-based approaches, visual media, gradual reading exercises, guided reading, and individualized support.

Abstract

Descriptive writing skills are an essential literacy competence that should be developed from the elementary school level. However, many students still experience difficulties in generating ideas, selecting appropriate vocabulary, organizing sentences coherently, and producing clear descriptive paragraphs. This study aimed to improve the descriptive writing skills of third-grade students at UPT SDN 6 Pinrang through the implementation of sequential picture media. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research was conducted in two cycles involving 20 students. Data were collected through descriptive writing tests, student activity observations, teacher interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed an improvement in students’ descriptive writing skills, indicated by the increase in the average score from 62 in the pre-cycle stage to 73 in Cycle I and 83 in Cycle II. Classical mastery improved from 30% to 100%. Student learning activities also increased from 55% in the pre-cycle stage to 83.2% in Cycle II. The findings indicate that sequential picture media helps students develop ideas, enrich vocabulary, organize sentences, and produce more systematic descriptive texts. This media can serve as an alternative instructional strategy in Indonesian language learning to strengthen elementary students’ writing literacy.

Abstract

Critical thinking is an essential skill that needs to be developed in elementary science and social studies learning. However, preliminary observations in the fifth grade of UPT SDN 77 Rante Lemo showed that students tended to be passive, were not accustomed to providing logical reasoning, and had difficulty drawing conclusions based on observations. This study aimed to improve students’ critical thinking skills through the implementation of the guided inquiry learning model in the topic of human respiratory organs. This research employed Classroom Action Research based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The participants were 15 fifth-grade students. Data were collected through observation, critical thinking tests, and documentation, and were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive techniques. The results showed an improvement in students’ critical thinking skills. Students’ learning mastery increased from 26.67% in the pre-action stage to 66.67% in the first cycle and reached 100% in the second cycle. Student activity increased from 37.50% to 53.13% and 93.75%, while teacher activity increased from 55.00% to 95.00%. These findings indicate that the guided inquiry learning model, particularly when supported by simple experiments and systematic teacher guidance, can enhance students’ critical thinking skills in elementary science and social studies learning.

Abstract

Tax literacy at the elementary school level has received limited attention because taxation is generally perceived as an economic concept related to adults. However, early understanding of the relationship between citizens’ contributions, public facilities, and social responsibility is essential for developing civic awareness from an early age. This study aimed to develop the Smart Citizen sejak Dini model based on tax literacy and character education for elementary school students. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach by adapting Borg and Gall’s development procedures, consisting of needs analysis, model development, expert validation, revision, and limited trial implementation. The research participants were fifth-grade students at SDN 176 Belajen, Enrekang Regency. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, expert validation, and literacy comprehension tests, and were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results showed that the Smart Citizen sejak Dini model through the CERDAS framework (Cermati, Eksplorasi, Refleksi, Diskusi, Aksi, and Sadari) was categorized as highly feasible, with an average validation score of 4.50. The implementation of the model achieved a learning feasibility rate of 91.25% and improved students’ tax literacy understanding from 65% to 84%. These findings indicate that integrating tax literacy, character education, and civic learning through a contextual approach can serve as an innovative strategy to foster students’ public awareness, social responsibility, and civic character from an early age.

Abstract

Elementary science and social science (IPAS) learning requires instructional strategies that integrate active engagement, social interaction, and digital learning media. This study aimed to analyze improvements in fourth-grade students’ IPAS learning outcomes through Educaplay-assisted Think Pair Share (TPS) and compare them with conventional instruction. A quantitative approach with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design was employed. The participants were 26 fourth-grade students at SDN 116 Enrekang, comprising 13 students in the experimental group and 13 in the control group. The intervention was conducted over eight sessions, excluding the pretest and posttest, focusing on Light and Its Properties. Data were collected through learning achievement tests and observations of instructional implementation and analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, between-group comparisons, and N-gain analysis. The results showed that all students in the experimental group achieved the minimum mastery criterion, compared with 12 students in the control group. Posttest and N-gain analyses revealed significant differences between the groups (p < .05). The implementation of Educaplay-assisted TPS reached 92.8%, categorized as very good. These findings indicate that integrating TPS with Educaplay offers a promising interactive and collaborative approach to supporting conceptual learning in elementary IPAS.
