Abstract

Students are required to master the subject matter and also create teaching modules that follow differentiated learning guidelines. This aligns with the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum, which prioritizes student-centered learning. The purpose of this study was to analyze students' abilities in developing differentiated teaching modules. The method used in this research is a quantitative descriptive method. The subjects were 16 student teachers in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The research instrument was a differentiated teaching module assessment instrument sheet. The teaching module documents were collected and then analyzed using descriptive statistics with percentage techniques, which were interpreted into scores. Based on the analysis results, students' abilities in designing differentiated teaching modules at PGMI are classified as good and lacking, with a score of 37% for differentiated learning mapping, 73% for general information, 72% for core competencies, and 33% for attachments. This demonstrates the need for the PGMI study program to develop specific training related to differentiated learning mapping and the development of teaching modules, as well as to strengthen lecturer support for students' teaching module design assignments. The results of this study can serve as a basis for curriculum evaluation and the development of learning tools to enhance the competency of PGMI students.

Abstract

The low levels of mathematical communication and problem-solving skills among elementary school students in Indonesia are a serious concern, as reflected in the 2019 TIMSS scores, which fell below the international average (397 out of 487), and the PISA report, which indicates that Indonesian students’ higher-order thinking skills still lag behind those of other Southeast Asian countries. The dominance of conventional, teacher-centered teaching methods is considered one of the main factors hindering the development of these two 21st-century competencies. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model as an alternative instructional strategy for developing elementary students’ communication and problem-solving skills in mathematics. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test control group design, involving 60 fifth-grade students from two elementary schools in South Jakarta. Data were collected through problem-solving ability tests, mathematical communication assessment rubrics, and learning observation sheets. The results showed that students who learned using PjBL demonstrated significant improvements in problem-solving skills (t = 4.523, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 1.12) and mathematical communication (t = 3.876, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.95) compared to the control group using conventional learning methods. The improvement in the experimental group reached 41% for problem-solving and 44% for mathematical communication, while the control group improved by only 16% and 15%, respectively. These findings indicate that PjBL proved effective in the context of this study and demonstrate its potential for continued use as a learning strategy to develop 21st-century skills in mathematics education at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the challenges faced by lower-grade teachers and the strategies used in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesian language learning at SDS Ulumuddin. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving lower-grade teachers and the school principal. The findings indicate that challenges occur at the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. In the planning stage, teachers experienced difficulties in understanding the Merdeka Curriculum concepts, preparing teaching modules, and limited technological skills. During implementation, challenges included students’ varied reading abilities, low reading interest, and limited use of learning media. In the evaluation stage, teachers encountered difficulties in applying assessment principles aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. To address these challenges, teachers implemented several strategies, such as participating in training programs, independently developing teaching modules, using varied media and project-based learning, providing additional support for students with reading difficulties, and conducting continuous assessment. These strategies contributed to increased student participation, motivation, and understanding, although literacy development still requires ongoing support.

Abstract

Students’ understanding of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) concepts in elementary schools is still relatively low, partly due to the limited use of interactive and contextual learning media in the classroom. In addition, the integration of local wisdom values in science learning remains minimal, even though these values can strengthen students’ character and contextual understanding. Therefore, this study aims to develop interactive Flipbook learning materials that integrate the local wisdom value of Tat Twam Asi. The study also evaluates the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the developed media in improving fifth-grade students’ conceptual understanding of IPAS. Using the ADDIE model—which comprises the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation—development research (R&D) is the methodology employed. To examine the effectiveness of the developed media, a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. This design was used to measure students’ conceptual understanding before and after using the interactive flipbook. The research subjects consisted of media experts, material experts, language experts, fifth-grade teachers, and fifth-grade students from Elementary School Cluster 5 in Busungbiu District. This research is important because it evaluates the potential of integrating local wisdom values, such as Tat Twam Asi, into digital learning media to improve students’ conceptual understanding of science. Tests, observations, and questionnaires were employed as data gathering methods. With an average Aiken's V value above 0.88, the study's findings demonstrated the interactive Flipbook media's extremely high level of validity. Teachers and students responded very well to the practicality exam, with a proportion exceeding 90%. With an N-Gain value of 0.54, which falls into the medium-to-high range, the effectiveness test demonstrated an improvement in students' comprehension of IPAS principles. As a result, Tat Twam Asi's interactive Flipbook medium is deemed legitimate, useful, and efficient for use in primary school scientific instruction.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low IPAS learning outcomes of students at SDN 1 Trenceng Tulungagung, as indicated by the low level of learning mastery (±35%) and the lack of tolerance attitudes in learning interactions. The conventional learning approach that still dominates classroom instruction is considered unable to optimize the achievement of cognitive and social learning objectives. This study aims to analyze the effect of students’ perceptions of the implementation of the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning model and emotional intelligence on IPAS learning outcomes through tolerance attitudes as a mediating variable. This study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory correlational design. The sample consisted of 59 students determined using the Isaac and Michael formula. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and documentation of learning outcomes, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. The results show that students’ perceptions of the implementation of the TPS model have a positive and significant effect on tolerance attitudes (β = 0.451; t = 4.215; p < 0.001) and learning outcomes (β = 0.312; t = 2.965; p = 0.003). Emotional intelligence also has a significant effect on tolerance attitudes (β = 0.389; t = 3.874; p < 0.001) and learning outcomes (β = 0.330; t = 3.450; p = 0.001). Furthermore, tolerance attitudes significantly affect learning outcomes (β = 0.322; t = 3.102; p = 0.002) and mediate the effects of both variables. The R² values indicate that the model explains 54.2% of the variance in tolerance attitudes and 61.8% of the variance in learning outcomes.

Abstract

The low level of mathematical problem-solving ability among elementary school students remains a challenge in mathematics learning, particularly in students’ ability to plan strategies, carry out solution steps, and review their answers. This study aimed to describe and analyze students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities based on George Polya’s stages in mathematics learning for fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 25 Banda Aceh. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of five students selected purposively. Data were collected through problem-solving tests and interviews, while data analysis included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on the indicators of each problem-solving stage, namely understanding the problem, planning the solution, carrying out the plan, and looking back. The results showed that, in general, students were able to understand the given problems, but they still experienced difficulties in planning and carrying out solution steps systematically. In addition, the looking back stage had not been carried out optimally by most students. Overall, students’ mathematical problem-solving ability was categorized as moderate. This category indicates that students were able to fulfill some of the problem-solving indicators, but had not demonstrated consistent and optimal performance across all stages. Specifically, two students were able to complete all stages, one student experienced difficulties at the planning and implementation stages, while the other two students experienced difficulties at the planning, implementation, and looking back stages. These findings indicate the need to strengthen the planning, implementation, and reflection stages in the learning process so that students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities can develop optimally.
