Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of primary school students, their parents, and primary school teachers regarding the concept of mathematics. The research was motivated by the need to understand how different stakeholders in primary education cognitively and effectively relate to mathematics, which significantly influences students’ long-term attitudes and success in the subject. The objective was to explore how mathematics is defined and emotionally experienced across these groups. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a working group composed of primary school students, parents, and teachers. The data were analyzed thematically. Findings revealed that while most primary school students expressed a liking for mathematics, this percentage was slightly lower among parents. Teachers showed the highest rate of positive attitudes toward mathematics, with nearly all reporting a strong enjoyment of teaching it. Regarding conceptualizations of mathematics, most responses aligned with the Cognitive Domain, particularly within the sub-themes “Numbers and Operations” and “Mathematics is part of daily life.” In contrast, negative affective responses were more prevalent among students and parents, while teachers predominantly expressed positive emotions. The study concludes that fostering a connection between mathematics and real-life contexts is essential. Both teachers and parents should play an active role in nurturing positive mathematical experiences in children to support the development of mathematically competent individuals.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges elementary school students face in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) descriptive writing, a crucial skill often perceived as one of the most complex aspects of language learning. It was conducted on 39 fifth-grade public elementary school students in Pacet sub-district, Bandung Regency, to assess students’ writing abilities through test and non-test instruments. The research employed a descriptive methodology using purposive participant selection on the following criteria: schools that use the Independent curriculum, English is taught by a teacher who is a graduate of English education, and the school is one of the representatives of the sub-district, as determined by the elementary school supervisor. The tests evaluated key aspects of descriptive writing, including format and content, organization and coherence, and sentence construction and vocabulary, while structured questionnaires explored students' difficulties and influencing factors. The study aimed to identify the specific challenges students encounter in writing descriptive texts and uncover factors impacting their performance to inform the development of more effective instructional strategies. The findings show that many students struggle with content development, coherence, and grammar. Corpus analysis reveals frequent issues such as unclear phrasing, code-mixing, and overly brief, highlighting gaps in vocabulary use and sentence construction. Additionally, the questionnaire results revealed that a significant number of students encountered challenges in various aspects of descriptive writing, particularly in vocabulary use, grammar, sentence structure, and idea development. These findings underscore the need for targeted, collaborative, and technology-supported instructional strategies to address students’ specific difficulties and enhance their proficiency and confidence in English descriptive writing.

Abstract

Challenges in elementary education frequently arise from the continued use of conventional and monotonous teaching methods, which often lead to low student engagement and difficulty in grasping abstract concepts such as astronomy. These issues are further compounded by the limited availability of digital learning tools and insufficient teacher training. The gap between the expected implementation of interactive learning and actual classroom practices highlights the urgent need for innovative approaches. One such approach is PjBL integrated with interactive media to improve students' conceptual understanding. This study aims to (1) analyze students’ conceptual understanding of astronomy before and after instructional intervention, and (2) measure the extent of improvement achieved through the implementation of PjBL supported by Universe Sandbox media. Employing a quasi-experimental design (one-group pretest-posttest) involving 32 sixth-grade students at SDN 7 Gondosari, data were collected using tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed through normality testing, paired sample t-tests, and N-Gain calculations. The results indicated a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, with the paired sample t-test yielding a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (0.05), suggesting a substantial increase in conceptual understanding. Additionally, the N-Gain analysis produced an average score of 0.7486, categorized as moderate to high improvement. These findings confirm that the PjBL model, when supported by Universe Sandbox media, is effective in enhancing students’ comprehension of astronomical concepts.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of reading motivation and academic performance among third-grade students. The problem addressed in this research is the limited understanding of how reading motivation influences students' performance, particularly in the context of early education. The background highlights the importance of intrinsic motivation in learning, with previous studies indicating that motivated students are more likely to engage with educational materials and perform better academically. This study employs a quantitative approach, using both univariate and bivariate analyses to assess the distribution of reading motivation and its effect on academic performance. A total of 27 third-grade students were surveyed on their reading motivation, and their academic performance was analyzed. The findings reveal that 59.3% of students exhibited high reading motivation, with 63% showing high academic performance. The logistic regression analysis further shows a significant association between reading motivation and performance (p-value = 0.004), with students exhibiting high motivation more likely to perform well academically. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on the role of motivation in educational outcomes, emphasizing the need for fostering intrinsic reading motivation to improve academic performance. It also provides practical implications for educators and policymakers, encouraging the creation of supportive environments that promote reading engagement and motivation.

Abstract

In the era of 21st-century education, mastery of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is not enough without having higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). This study aimed to analyze HOTS-based TPACK ability in the field of Elementary School Teacher Education (ESTE). This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach with a survey design and data collection through self-assessment instruments. 1644 ESTE students of Teacher Professional Education (TPE) who filled out the instrument from various regions in Indonesia. The students consisted of 94 prospective teachers (Pre-service teachers of TPE) and 1550 TPE students who had become teachers (In-service teachers of TPE). The results showed that ESTE students of TPE showed very good mastery of HOTS-based TPACK. In the Content Knowledge aspect, 90% of students were categorized as having a high level of competence, indicating strong mastery. The ability to solve problems (53.7%) and evaluate student understanding (55.3%) were categorized as medium. In the Pedagogical Knowledge domain, the ability to manage classrooms (69.2%) and select appropriate learning strategies (66.5%) fell into the high category. For Technological Knowledge, 76.2% of students demonstrated a high ability to utilize technology effectively, although 16.9% still had difficulties in evaluating software, which was classified as low. Meanwhile, in the integrative TPACK aspect, 62.8% of students were in the high category in assessing student learning outcomes using a HOTS-based approach. In conclusion, ESTE students of TPE showed very good mastery of HOTS-based TPACK competencies, with high abilities in content knowledge, pedagogy, and technology even though challenges in evaluating software remain to exist. This study implies the need to strengthen training in technology evaluation and the application of higher-order thinking skills to ensure comprehensive and sustainable TPACK competence in teacher education programs.

Abstract

National assessments are essential tools for evaluating educational quality worldwide. In Indonesia, the National Assessment (NA) was introduced to assess literacy, numeracy, character, and the learning environment without direct consequences for individual students. This study was conducted to explore teachers' and students' understanding and perceptions of NA, as well as its implications for classroom learning and assessment. A qualitative method with phenomenological approach was used, involving semi-structured interviews with 11 teachers and 21 fifth-grade students from six public schools in South Jakarta. The findings revealed that most teachers had a basic understanding of NA, with varied interpretations of its purpose and components. Teachers viewed NA as necessary for improving education quality but emphasized the need for better infrastructure and pedagogical support. Students, on the other hand, perceived NA as a low-stakes test with limited impact on their learning. Despite these differing views, the implementation of NA motivated improvements in literacy and numeracy, and increased the use of technology in teaching. However, challenges such as digital literacy gaps and limited device access were noted. The study contributes valuable insights into the perceptions of teachers and students, highlighting the need for infrastructure, training, and the effective use of assessment data to improve educational quality.

Abstract

Several prospective students with special needs registered at THI Integrated Islamic Elementary School; however, not all could be accommodated. This study aims to analyze and describe the planning, organizing, actuating, and supervising of inclusive education at the school. A qualitative descriptive method was employed. The findings are as follows: (1) Planning is based on Islamic values and national policies, involving students with special needs, teachers, and parents; (2) Organization is supported by a structured system consisting of an inclusion coordinator, special education teachers, and an external consultant, with adequate facilities and infrastructure; (3) Actuating is implemented through the Merdeka Curriculum, with modified lesson materials and individualized learning programs—both academic and non-academic—using a pull-out system; (4) Supervision is conducted by the principal, vice principal, and inclusion coordinator, along with the external consultant. However, oversight from government education supervisors is less intensive compared to that in public schools. THI Integrated Islamic Elementary School demonstrates effective inclusive education practices. Nevertheless, ongoing support from educational authorities is needed to ensure program sustainability and continuous improvement. This study offers a comprehensive case study of inclusive education within a private Islamic school, providing valuable insights for educators and policymakers interested in implementing similar initiatives.

Abstract

The loss of self-confidence and responsibility in students can be caused by various factors, both internal and external, such as negative experiences, lack of positive support from people around them, and social comparisons between friends. One way that can be used to implement effective learning strategies is to ensure that teachers involve students actively, creatively, and enjoyably so that they feel more motivated to learn. One of the obstacles faced by teachers when implementing physical education is that students do not feel responsible for what they learn towards the learning objectives that are achieved and the use of appropriate learning models. Therefore, to support students' self-confidence and responsibility, the peer teaching learning model can be used in physical education and sports in schools. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of student development towards self-confidence and responsibility by using the peer teaching model. This study uses a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design with the technique purposive sampling in Class VI SDN 1 Cisurupan Garut. Data were obtained using a questionnaire instrument of student self-confidence and responsibility. Research in this area can provide insight into how schools, teachers, and families can build good character in students, as well as identify factors that influence both characters. Self-confidence and responsibility are two main characters that shape a student's behavior, achievement, and social skills.
