Abstract

This study aims to compare the results of instrument testing methods between applying classical test theory and item response theory using the Rasch model in question instruments on respiratory system material. This study employed descriptive quantitative methodology, with a sample involving 36 students. The analyzed instrument consisted of 40 multiple-choice questions on respiratory system material. Instrument analysis utilized classical test theory with Microsoft Excel and item response theory with Winstep Rasch ver 4.5.2.0. The data analysis from classical test theory and item response theory offers slightly different interpretations but is mutually complementary. Both classical test theory and item response theory may assess the validity, reliability, distractor effectiveness, difficulty level, and discriminating power of questions. Item response theory provides a comprehensive analysis of test results through the use of the Wright map as a bar which helps determine a student's ability about the difficulty level of the question. Scalogram is used to identify patterns in students’ responses, allowing for the detection of cheating and inaccuracies in answering questions. Additionally, DIF items are employed to identify item bias. This study concludes that any developed instrument must possess the characteristics that meet the requirements to measure competency effectively. The requirements for an instrument can be analyzed using item response theory with the Rasch model, which provides in-depth interpretation.Keywords: Classical test theory, item response theory, Rasch model, instrument

Abstract

This study aims to determine the differences between the Jigsaw and Directed Inquiry Activity (DIA) learning models on the reading comprehension ability of fifth-grade students at Nuruwe Christian Elementary School. The purpose of this study is to improve students' reading comprehension ability. This study used a quantitative experimental questionnaire method with a nonequivalent control group design, involving 56 students in classes VA and VB (VA 28 students in the control class using Jigsaw and VB 28 students in the experimental class using Directed Inquiry Activity). Data were collected through essay-based test questions, pretest and posttest data were analyzed using a t-test. The results showed a significant increase in both groups: the reading comprehension ability of students in the control class (Jigsaw) experienced an average increase from 78.75 to 87.86, while the experimental class (DIA) from 78.39 to 86.79. Meanwhile, the t-test analysis revealed a stronger difference in DIA (t-test value -14.517) compared to Jigsaw (t-test value -9.500). The study's conclusions confirm that both models have a positive impact, but DIA is superior due to its independent investigation learning design with 5W+1H questions, thus not only training literal comprehension but also developing critical thinking skills.The research implications recommend the application of DIA to improve students' reading comprehension skills.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness and contextual factors influencing the use of Canva-based interactive learning multimedia in enhancing the cognitive abilities and learning motivation of fifth grade elementary school students. A qualitative descriptive literature review design was employed, chosen to provide a comprehensive understanding of patterns, mechanisms, and perceptions across prior studies rather than to measure quantitative outcomes. Ten peer reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 were examined. Data extracted from these studies included research objectives, participants, educational contexts, methodological approaches, and emerging themes. The analysis was conducted through narrative and thematic synthesis to identify consistent findings and variations across the literature. The results revealed that Canva-based media fostered student engagement, improved visualization of learning materials, and positively influenced both learning outcomes and motivation. Despite challenges such as limited facilities and varying teacher competencies, professional training and institutional support effectively addressed these barriers. Thus, Canva is recognized as a relevant and applicable digital learning tool supporting character- and technology-oriented education within the Independent Curriculum framework.

Abstract

In the digital and globalization era, education is not only required to produce students who are intellectually intelligent, but also have strong Islamic character and morals. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in shaping students' disciplined character through technology-based Akidah Akhlak learning and to identify strategies, obstacles, and the context of learning implementation in schools. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving 13 PAI teachers and 5 students at various levels of education from elementary/Islamic elementary school (SD/MI), junior high/Islamic junior high school (SMP/MTs), to senior high school (MA/SMA). Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews and participatory observation, while data analysis used the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions with source triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the use of technology, such as Islamic digital media, learning videos, interactive applications (Wordwall, Quizizz), and AI platforms have made a positive contribution to improving student discipline. Teachers implemented strategies such as project-based learning, digital role models, and the habituation of moral values. However, various obstacles have been identified, such as limited infrastructure, a lack of digital skills among teachers, and difficulties in monitoring and measuring moral values ​​in the digital environment. Therefore, teacher training, improved facilities, and an integrative approach that combines technology with Islamic values ​​are needed to realize effective and contextual character education.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of parents in strengthening children's moral education in the digital era and identify the challenges faced in the process. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and questionnaires to teachers and parents in the elementary school environment. The results of the study show that the role of parents is still not optimal in accompanying children, especially related to the use of digital technology which increasingly dominates children's daily lives. The three main problems found are the low digital literacy of parents, lack of communication and emotional involvement with children, and lack of supervision of digital content consumed by children. As a result, children experience a decline in moral values such as good manners, empathy, and self-control. This research emphasizes the importance of synergy between families, schools, and communities in creating a supportive environment. Keywords: Digital age, Moral education, The role of parents
