Abstract

This research is motivated by the failure of formal education systems to integrate traditional ecological knowledge into the curriculum, thereby creating a gap between indigenous wisdom values and practices in climate change education. This research aimed to develop an integrated learning model based on the Dukuh indigenous community's ecological wisdom for environmental education in the climate crisis era. A participatory ethnographic approach was employed, involving 38 participants comprising teachers, students, indigenous leaders, and community members. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, photovoice documentation, and participant observation conducted between March and August 2025 in Kampung Adat Dukuh, West Java, Indonesia. Thematic analysis revealed a sophisticated five-function land management system (tutupan, garapan, larangan, titipan, cadangan) and a pamali governance mechanism with compliance rates ranging from 71% to 92%. A significant implementation gap was identified, where 83% of teachers understood local wisdom values. Yet only 17% systematically integrated them into formal curricula due to structural barriers, including limited ethnopedagogical training (88%), curriculum inflexibility (82%), and pressures from an academic achievement orientation (76%). Based on these findings, the EcoPedagogy Culture model is developed, comprising four interconnected pillars: experiential learning, storytelling, ritual-based learning, and apprenticeship. Student preferences strongly favor experiential approaches (94% positive response) and practical demonstrations (88% engagement), compared to traditional lectures (31% engagement). The model demonstrates that students participating in experiential learning sessions achieve 67% higher retention of ecological concepts compared to classroom-only instruction. This research provides an empirically grounded framework for bridging Traditional Ecological Knowledge and formal education systems, offering pathways for climate change adaptation through revitalization of indigenous ecological wisdom in educational contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the current conditions of numeracy literacy learning in elementary schools and analyze the needs for developing microlearning-based e-modules as an innovative solution to support the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. The study was motivated by the fact that numeracy instruction in schools remains dominated by traditional approaches, with limited integration of contextual digital media and minimal innovation in teaching practices. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied, involving five elementary schools in the Moyudan District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. Participants consisted of five fifth-grade teachers and 83 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings revealed that while teachers recognize the importance of strengthening numeracy literacy as a 21st-century competence, they face various challenges, including limited time, insufficient digital pedagogical training, and the unavailability of relevant learning materials. The results highlight that the microlearning approach is pedagogically relevant because it provides concise, contextual, and interactive learning experiences that enhance students’ conceptual understanding and engagement. The study concludes that developing microlearning-based e-modules has significant potential to improve the quality of numeracy literacy learning in elementary schools, supporting a more adaptive, participatory, and technology-integrated learning environment.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has introduced new learning tools, one of which is ChatGPT—a language model capable of supporting academic tasks interactively. However, the effectiveness of such tools in fostering student independence remains under-explored. This study investigates whether students’ acceptance of ChatGPT contributes to their self-directed learning (SDL) in a higher education context. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between students’ acceptance of ChatGPT—conceptualized through perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use—and their level of SDL, with frequency of use tested as a mediating variable. The scope of the study focuses on undergraduate students who have used ChatGPT in academic settings. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. A total of 242 students from various faculties participated in the study. The data were analyzed through multiple regression and Sobel test to assess both direct and indirect effects within the proposed mediation model. The results showed that acceptance of ChatGPT significantly influenced both the frequency of its usage and students' self-directed learning. Although the direct effect of frequency of use on SDL was not statistically significant, the Sobel test revealed a significant indirect effect, indicating that frequency of use acts as a mediator between acceptance and SDL. In other words, students who perceive ChatGPT as useful and easy to use tend to use it more frequently, and this usage contributes—indirectly and significantly—to the development of self-directed learning behaviors. These findings suggest that integrating AI tools like ChatGPT into higher education requires not only technical access but also fostering positive perceptions and habits of use, to truly enhance student autonomy in learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of oral traditions and values of the surviving Ngadhu Bhaga ethnic oral traditions at Ngada Regency that could potentially be used as learning materials in elementary schools. The method used is a case study with a qualitative approach. The data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews with traditional figures, the Education and Culture Office, and documentation. Data analysis uses Campbell's model with a concept-setting approach. Research results show that the Ngadhu Bhaga ethnic oral tradition is still widely found in folktales, myths, legends, and pantuns, and has a potential cultural wealth to be used as contextual learning material. Values such as cooperation, respect, responsibility, and local wisdom are contained in the tradition and are highly relevant to instilling them in students early on. The oral traditions acquired in this study are Inerie folklore, Bu'e Wio folklore, Watu Kaba story, Wolo Watu Ata story, Ngadhubhaga myth or ancestral travel legend, and Ngadhubbhaga traditional proverbs. Stories – these stories and proverbs contain high values that are highly relevant to strengthening student character, and also serve as a form of preservation of local culture in elementary schools. This study recommends that this form of oral tradition be integrated into Indonesian, PPKn, IPS, and also the Art of Culture.

Abstract

Science education in elementary schools in Pinrang Regency is still dominated by conventional approaches. There is low integration of technology and limited development of 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. This study aims to develop and implement a Science teaching module based on TPACK and integrated with the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model. The goal is to enhance students' Four Cs skills. The research used a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) within a Mixed Methods design. Data were collected through expert validation questionnaires (Aiken’s V coefficient), teacher and student practicality questionnaires, structured classroom observation protocols (17 indicators, inter-rater reliability = 0.87), and semi-structured interviews with 12 teachers and 12 school principals. Pre-test and post-test instruments measured Four Cs competencies. Quantitative data were analyzed using normalized gain (N-Gain) calculations and paired-samples t-tests (SPSS v. 28). Qualitative data underwent thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-phase framework in NVivo 12. The results showed that the developed module had high validity and practicality. It achieved average validity and practicality scores of 90%. The module effectively improved students' Four Cs skills, with an average N-Gain score ranging from 0.49 in the limited trial to 0.51 in the wide-scale trial. This study contributes to the development of a teaching model that integrates technology and project-based methods to improve 21st-century skills in elementary education, especially in regions with limited infrastructure. The findings also suggest that improving teacher training and providing adequate infrastructure support are essential for the sustainability of the model's implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of family parenting styles in enhancing the literacy skills of children aged 6–8 during the transition from Early Childhood Education to elementary school. This transitional phase is critical as children move from learning to read toward reading to learn, which requires more advanced literacy competencies. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, this study explores parents’ lived experiences in supporting children’s reading and writing development within the home context. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation of family literacy activities, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that democratic parenting styles play a significant role in fostering children’s intrinsic motivation and independence in literacy activities. Intensive verbal interactions, such as dialogic reading and post-reading discussions, were found to enhance children’s comprehension, narrative skills, and expressive language. In addition, guided use of digital media with active parental mediation supports the development of multimodal literacy when integrated purposefully. Supporting factors identified include consistent home reading routines and strong parental emotional involvement. Conversely, limited parental time and the lack of contextual and age-appropriate reading materials emerged as major barriers to effective family literacy practices.The study concludes that family parenting is a key factor in bridging literacy gaps during the transition from PAUD to elementary school. These findings imply the need for a family literacy model that integrates democratic parenting, rich verbal interaction, and guided digital literacy to support children’s literacy development during this critical transition phase.

Abstract

Art learning on the exploration of primary and secondary colors in elementary schools is still dominated by conventional media. Learning in the Gatot Subroto cluster of Blora Regency has not yet utilized digital media integrated with an optimal learning model. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of the digital media IbisPaint X based on PjBL (Project-Based Learning) on learning outcomes. This study uses a quantitative research design with a true experimental approach. The research method involves a pretest-posttest control group design using cluster random sampling techniques. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and tests. Data analysis in this study uses inferential statistics to test the research hypotheses. The results show a difference in learning outcomes between the use of IbisPaint X based on the PjBL model and conventional media. The average N-gain scores for the experimental and control classes were 59.8% (moderately effective) and 32.1% (not effective), respectively. It is concluded that IbisPaint X media, based on the PjBL model, has an influence on students' learning outcomes in the exploration of primary and secondary colors.
