Abstract

The Miniature Micro Hydro Power Center (MHPC) is a learning media development designed to improve critical thinking skills in elementary science education. The operation of this miniature resembles that of the actual MHPC Karekan, located in Banjarnegara, Indonesia. This study aimed to develop the MHPC Miniature media, evaluate its validity, and test its effectiveness in enhancing students' critical thinking skills. This research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method, using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. The research stages included an assessment of teacher and student needs, followed by product validation by material experts (one science lecturer and five experienced teachers), technicians, and nine practitioners. To test its effectiveness, 102 fifth-grade students from the Ki Hajar Dewantara Cluster in North Purwokerto District were selected as the research sample. The sample was divided into an experimental and a control group using a cluster sampling technique. Data from the posttest were analysed for normality and homogeneity before an Independent-Samples T-Test. The results indicated that validation by science experts and practitioners yielded a Content Validity Index (CVI) of > 0.85, indicating the media is highly suitable for learning. Furthermore, the Independent Samples T-test showed that the experimental group using the MHPC miniature performed significantly better than the control group, which used only video-based media (ρ < 0.05). In conclusion, the developed MHPC miniature is a valid and effective tool for fostering critical thinking skills in elementary science learning. These findings imply that integrating contextualized miniatures into the science curriculum can bridge the gap between abstract concepts and real-world applications, providing a scalable model for innovative STEM education.

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

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

The transition from Early Childhood Education (or PAUD in the Indonesian context) to elementary school is a pivotal stage where children shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." This study examines the role of family parenting styles in enhancing children's literacy skills during this critical phase. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research explores parents’ lived experiences in supporting the development of reading and writing at home. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that democratic parenting styles significantly foster children’s intrinsic motivation and independence in literacy. Key practices, such as intensive verbal interactions, dialogic reading, and post-reading discussions, were found to enhance comprehension, narrative skills, and expressive language. Furthermore, purposeful digital media use, combined with active parental mediation, supports multimodal literacy development. Consistent reading routines and strong emotional involvement were identified as vital supporting factors, while limited parental time and a lack of age- appropriate materials emerged as primary barriers. The study concludes that family parenting is a decisive factor in bridging literacy gaps during the transition to elementary school. This research contributes to the literacy transition discourse by establishing a multifaceted family literacy framework specifically tailored for the transition from PAUD to primary schooling. These findings imply the necessity for a family literacy model that integrates democratic parenting, rich verbal interaction, and guided digital literacy to ensure children are prepared for increasing academic demands.

Abstract

The lack of innovative technology-based learning media significantly impacts student learning outcomes. This study aimed to develop practical, feasible, and effective mobile learning media for fourth-grade elementary school dance lessons to enhance academic achievement. The implication of this study is that the learning process becomes more engaging through the integration of technology- based instructional tools. The research utilized the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. The subjects included one subject matter expert, one media expert, one teacher, and 36 fourth-grade students. Data collection techniques included pre- and post-tests, as well as non-test methods such as observation, teacher interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, T-tests, and N-Gain tests. The feasibility analysis of the TERBATIK media indicated that it was highly feasible, with ratings of 100% from the subject matter expert and 93% from the media expert. Response rates from the teacher and students were 93.7% and 93.1%, respectively, placing them in the highly practical category. The normality test results were normal, with pre-test scores of 0.098 and post-test scores of 0.096 (ρ > 0.05). The effectiveness analysis via the T-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (ρ < 0.05), with the average score increasing from 55.6944 in the pre-test to 87.3611 in the post-test. The N-Gain score was 0.7313, representing the high category. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the TERBATIK media is feasible, practical, and effective in improving the learning outcomes of fourth-grade dance classes. These results imply that integrating mobile learning applications into arts education not only modernizes traditional dance instruction but also provides an accessible, interactive platform that bridge the gap between cultural content and digital-native students.
