M. Artanti, Gunawan, Khamdun — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the effect of Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Discovery Learning on the science literacy of fourth-grade students in learning the concept of substance forms and their changes within the Merdeka Curriculum context. The research employs a quasi-experimental approach using a non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest design, involving 85 students selected through purposive sampling across three elementary schools in the Gugus Palapa, Kaliwungu District. Data were collected using validated and reliable test instruments and analyzed through normality, homogeneity, and t-test procedures. The findings reveal that both PBL and Discovery Learning significantly improve students’ science literacy compared to conventional methods, with PBL demonstrating a higher mean posttest score (85.40) than Discovery Learning (78.88) and the control class (63.14), indicating stronger effectiveness in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The study implies that student-centered learning models—particularly PBL—serve as powerful pedagogical pathways to elevate science literacy, urging educators to move beyond transmissive teaching toward inquiry-driven, contextualized, and cognitively engaging learning environments.

Recommendations include implementing leadership training and capacity-building programs to optimize educational outcomes in resource-constrained regions.

Mathematical Communication Ability Profile Based on Student Learning Interests (Case Study at Sekolah Dasar Unggulan Terpadu Bumi Kartini Jepara)

A. Khoiroma, B. Sumaji, S. Henry — Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study was motivated by the importance of mathematical communication skills in mathematics learning and the variation in students' learning interests that can affect these skills. The research method employed was a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects were fifth-grade students at SDUT Bumi Kartini Jepara. Data was collected through learning interest questionnaires and in-depth interviews.
This study aims to describe the profile of students' mathematical communication skills in terms of their learning interests in elementary school. This research used a qualitative case study method with data collection techniques including questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation. The conclusion is that mathematical communication skills and Learning interests are interrelated, where mathematical communication skills refer to the ability of students to convey mathematical ideas clearly, both orally and in writing. Mathematical learning interest is a student's tendency to be interested in and engaged in mathematics learning activities. Subjects with a high level of learning interest, after analysis, were found to be able to complete all indicators of mathematical communication skills well, namely representation, writing, reading, discussion, and listening. Subjects with moderate levels of learning interest, after analysis, it was concluded that subjects could complete four indicators of mathematical communication skills, namely listening, discussion, writing, and representation. Subjects with a low category of learning interest still have difficulty understanding problems and developing problem-solving strategies. These subjects are still elements of their abilities and are unwilling to try to solve problems, so they often discuss when answering questions.

The Influence of the Guru Penggerak Program on Teacher Competency and Performance

M. N. Secha, G. Setiadi, S. Utaminingsih — Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The objectives of this study are: (1) to examine the influence of the Guru Penggerak program on teacher competency, (2) to examine the influence of the Guru Penggerak program on teacher performance, and (3) to examine the influence of the Guru Penggerak program on both teacher competency and teacher performance. This research uses a quantitative approach. It is categorized as ex post facto research and applies a descriptive correlational method. The sample consisted of 127 respondents, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data collected through questionnaires were analyzed using SEM. The results of the study show that (1) The output of the 4-fit measurement model for the exogenous variable (Guru Penggerak program) shows a C.R. value ≥ 1.967 and a probability (P) value ≤ 0.05, thus H0 is rejected (the research hypothesis is accepted). This means the exogenous variable (Guru Penggerak program) has a direct influence on its endogenous variable, namely teacher competency. (2) The output of the 4-fit measurement model for the exogenous variable (Guru Penggerak program) shows a C.R. value ≤ 1.967 and a probability (P) value ≥ 0.05, thus H0 is accepted (the research hypothesis is rejected). This indicates that the Guru Penggerak program does not have a direct influence on the endogenous variable, namely teacher performance. (3) Based on the output of the significance of mediation (Sobel test), the two-tailed probability value was ≤ 0.05, therefore H0 is rejected (the research hypothesis is accepted). This finding supports the acceptance of the third hypothesis.
