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

Reading comprehension is a crucial language skill for elementary school students in the 21st century. However, the quality of reading instruction in Indonesian schools remains inadequate. An assessment of fourth-grade narrative text comprehension found that only 30% of students answered questions effectively, while 70% struggled. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the ARIAS (Assurance, Relevance, Interest, Assessment, Satisfaction) model, integrated with Project-Based Learning (PjBL), in improving reading comprehension among fourth-grade students in Cimahi, Indonesia. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design with 30 students as participants, the intervention was conducted over four sessions. The teacher implemented ARIAS through Project-Based Learning. Students created an explosion box project based on 5W+1H questions (Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How), targeting skills such as identifying main ideas, locating details, interpreting vocabulary, making inferences, and evaluating text structure. The pretest mean score was 62.70, rising to 77.10 on the posttest. A paired sample t-test showed a t-value of -14.133 with a significance level of 0.001, indicating significant improvement. These findings suggest that integrating ARIAS with PjBL fosters student engagement and enhances reading comprehension. The study offers insights for educators on using structured motivational strategies and hands-on projects to improve literacy skills in elementary students.
