Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of board games as a learning medium to improve third-grade students' understanding of English prepositions of place. English, as an international language, plays a crucial role in global communication. Grammar instruction is introduced as early as elementary school; however, many students struggle with distinguishing grammatical components, particularly in prepositions of place. Traditional teaching methods often fail to support students in differentiating these concepts effectively. To address this issue, this study examines the use of board games as a learning medium to enhance students' understanding of grammar. Board games provide an interactive and engaging approach by incorporating game elements into the learning process. Using a one-group pretest – posttest classroom action research design with 27 participants at a public elementary school in Malang. The findings reveal a significant improvement in students' grammar mastery, as indicated by an increase in the average score from 70.2 (pre-test) to 87.1 (post-test) in the first cycle. Observations further demonstrate that board games enhance student engagement, foster a more enjoyable learning environment, and improve comprehension. These results suggest that incorporating board games into grammar instruction can be an effective strategy for young learners.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the education sector demands adaptive leadership and mature technology readiness to achieve the effectiveness of digital learning. This study aims to examine the relationship between transformational leadership and the effectiveness of digital learning, with technology readiness as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was utilized through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on SmartPLS 4. The research sample involved 52 teachers from various schools that have implemented digital learning using purposive sampling techniques. The instruments used included the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), Technology Readiness Index (TRI), and indicators of digital learning effectiveness from Anderson (2008). The analysis results show that transformational leadership does not have a direct effect on the effectiveness of digital learning (p > 0.05), but has a significant effect on technology readiness (p < 0.001). Technology readiness significantly affects the effectiveness of digital learning (p < 0.001) and has been shown to mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and the effectiveness of digital learning. These findings emphasize the importance of technology readiness as a key to success in the implementation of effective digital learning. This research provides practical implications for educational institutions in designing sustainable digital transformation strategies that focus on human resource readiness.

Abstract

This study investigates identifying the most appropriate song rhythms to support ideal English language learning in the madrasah context, as viewed from students’ perspectives. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving four students from MTs NU Pakis as participants. Data were collected through classroom observations, questionnaires, and interviews, with data validity ensured through triangulation. The findings indicate that songs with slow to moderate tempo are preferred and perceived as more effective in facilitating listening comprehension, speaking skill, and boosting motivation in language learning. Students reported that such rhythm made it easier to grasp meaning, imitate pronunciation, and reduce anxiety during English lessons. Songs like “I have a dream” and “You raise me up” were found to create a motivating and supportive learning environment. Therefore, rhythm selection plays a significant role in enhancing language acquisition in madrasah-based EFL instruction. This study offers practical insights for EFL practitioners in selecting effective musical aids, emphasizing the critical link between musical rhythm and pedagogical outcomes in religious educational settings.

Abstract

English speaking skills remain a challenge for elementary school students in Indonesia in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Limited vocabulary, low self-confidence, anxiety when speaking, and limited opportunities for communication practice hinder students' speaking skills. The role-play method is considered adequate for overcoming these problems because it provides students with opportunities to use English in meaningful, real-life situations. This study aims to synthesise empirical findings on the effectiveness of the role-play method in improving the English-speaking skills of elementary school students in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative meta-analysis approach, following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Data were obtained from journal articles published between 2015 and 2025 through the Google Scholar database. Of the 17,600 articles identified, 10 that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were analysed using thematic analysis. However, this study has limitations because it relies solely on Google Scholar, potentially excluding other relevant studies from the analysis. The results showed that the role-play method was effective in improving students' speaking skills across linguistic, affective, and social interaction aspects. Improvements included vocabulary mastery, fluency, confidence, learning motivation, and student activity. In addition, role play encourages meaningful interaction and creates a learning environment that supports English-speaking practice. To maximise results, role-play needs to be applied through scenarios relevant to students' context, explicit teaching of vocabulary and expressions, guided role-play practice, and systematic teacher feedback. Thus, role play is an effective and targeted method for improving the speaking skills of elementary school students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the quality of educational quality manuals and principal supervision on teacher innovation in secondary school instruction. Amid ongoing curriculum reforms, many Indonesian schools still face challenges in fostering innovative teaching practices. This research applies a quantitative explanatory method with a Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach to test the influence of two independent variables: quality of the educational quality manual (X1) and principal supervision (X2), on the dependent variable: teacher instructional innovation (Y). The study was conducted at Sekolah Islam Cendekia—covering SD, SMP, and SMA levels—under the management of Yayasan Pribadi Kamila Cianjur, Indonesia, involving 40 respondents selected from this foundation, which has implemented both standardized educational quality manuals and active principal supervision. The results of the outer model analysis show that all indicators are valid (loading factors > 0.7) and reliable (AVE > 0.5, Composite Reliability > 0.9). The inner model results indicate a very high predictive power, where both X1 and X2 simultaneously explain 93.9% of the variance in teacher innovation (R2 = 0.939). Path coefficient testing revealed that the quality of the educational quality manual has a dominant and significant effect on teacher innovation (β = 0.529; p < 0.05), followed by principal supervision which also shows a strong and significant positive effect (β = 0.450; p < 0.05). These findings suggest that teacher innovation is primarily driven by the clarity of quality standards which provide a "safety structure," supported by active mentorship from the principal. Therefore, schools must prioritize the revitalization of quality manuals as living documents and enhance principal coaching practices to create a sustainable innovation ecosystem. The study contributes theoretically to educational leadership and practically to school improvement strategies in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study conducted a systematic review to examine the role of self-awareness in increasing learning focus and its contribution to strengthening student independence in elementary school. A total of 12 scientific articles published in the 2021–2026 range were comprehensively analyzed. The results of the study show three main mechanisms that make self-awareness-based mindfulness a key intervention. First, self-awareness plays a role in improving the executive function of the brain, including attention control, inhibition of impulsive responses, and cognitive flexibility, which are neurocognitive prerequisites for learning focus. Second, self-awareness provides practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress that can interfere with concentration, while also improving students' emotional awareness. Third, self-awareness supports the formation of school culture and teacher practices that create a supportive learning ecosystem. Advanced synthesis analysis showed that the reinforcement of self-control acted as a mediator explaining the indirect relationship between self-awareness and increased learning focus. Based on these findings, this study recommends the systematic integration of self-awareness practices through reflective activities, simple mindfulness exercises, and emotionally responsive learning strategies in the curriculum and training of elementary school teachers to support academic development, especially in improving learning focus.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the roles of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers and parents in fostering students' spiritual attitudes at MI Miftahul Huda Bonangrejo, Bonang, Demak, in the digital era. The background of this research stems from the phenomenon of declining religious interest among students and the significant influence of technology and globalisation on the religious behaviour of elementary school-aged children. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study involved 12 participants, consisting of the school principal, two PAI teachers, and nine parents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and then analysed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results indicate that PAI teachers play strategic roles as educators of religious values, spiritual guides, moral role models, drivers of the school’s religious culture, and mentors of Islamic-based digital literacy. Meanwhile, parents serve as primary educators through exemplary worship practices, habituation of religious activities, warm religious communication, supervision of technology use, and the creation of a religious family atmosphere. The synergy between PAI teachers and parents has been shown to strengthen students’ religious discipline, social morality, and spiritual awareness. This study concludes that collaboration between schools and families is a crucial foundation for developing students’ spirituality amidst the challenges of the digital era. However, this study is limited to a single educational institution within a specific geographic context, so the findings reflect the characteristics of MI Miftahul Huda Bonangrejo, Demak, and may not fully represent other schools with different social and cultural settings.
