dies subject. This research is based on the importance of preparing students for the challenges of the 21st century, which require critical, analytical, and creative thinking skills. The method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with 35 students from class VIII-3 as participants. There are two cycles in this study, consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection phases. In the first cycle, although PBL was implemented, only 43% of students scored above the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) of 80, with an average score of 71. Additionally, their activeness in asking questions, answering, expressing opinions, and solving problems was still low. Reflection indicated that students needed time to adapt to PBL and required more motivation from the teacher. In the second cycle, after improvements were made, there was a significant increase. As many as 89% of students scored above the KKM of 80, with an average score of 88. Student activeness also increased with more active participation in class activities. This shows that students better understood and adapted to the PBL model and received better encouragement from the teacher. In conclusion, the implementation of the PBL model is effective in improving students achievement and active participation in the Social Studies subject at SMP Negeri 172 Jakarta. This is evidenced by the significant increase in students average scores and their active participation in learning. The PBL model is capable of stimulating students critical, analytical, and creative thinking skills, as well as enhancing their engagement in learning, creating a more conducive and efficient environment for achieving educational goals.

rvention model to help students be more disciplined during the teaching and learning process for grade 2 students at Muhammadiyah Elementary School. The method used in this research is a quantitative method. The problem in this research is that students have low disciplinary attitudes when in class and also during the teaching and learning process. This is because the subject is a person who is not comfortable studying and remaining silent in class for a long time. In this problem, to overcome this problem, behavior modification is carried out using the token economy technique. The subject used in this research was 1 boy from class 2 of SD Muhammadiyah Gresik who had a low disciplinary attitude. This research aims to determine the increase in student discipline by modifying behavior using the token economy technique. In the implementation, research subjects were given intervention or treatment in the form of rewards by sticking stickers for 21 days with pretest, intervention and posttest stages, then their disciplinary attitudes were observed and at the end of the session if the target behavior that was changed showed good changes then the subject would be given a reward according to the agreement at the beginning. where the prize is exchanged for the number of stickers obtained during the session. This can be seen from the pretest results, the significance value obtained was 10 and for the posttest results the significance value obtained was 13. Based on the gain score calculation, it showed that the subject experienced an increase of 3 scores from the pretest score of 10 to 13. During the posttest this showed an increase but it was not significant.
Abstract:A culturally responsive approach to teaching has become an essential element in building an inclusive, relevant, and transformative educational ecosystem, particularly in the context of Indonesian language instruction at…
the primary school level. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach in Indonesian language learning among second-grade students at SDN Sumobito 1 Jombang. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The data were thematically analyzed to identify patterns of CRT application in daily teaching practices. The findings indicate that student engagement in the learning process is relatively active; however, the integration of CRT principles remains suboptimal. This is evidenced by the limited use of teaching materials that reflect students' cultural backgrounds and the low level of teachers’ conceptual understanding of the CRT approach. The study underscores the importance of enhancing educators’ professional capacity through continuous training focused on pedagogies that are sensitive to local cultural contexts. In addition, the development of culturally responsive teaching materials needs to be accommodated within the curriculum to make learning more contextual and meaningful. The implications of these findings suggest that a systematic implementation of CRT has the potential to improve the quality of Indonesian language education by positioning cultural diversity as a pedagogical asset rather than a barrier. Consequently, the results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for the formulation of more inclusive, adaptive, and culturally equitable basic education policies in multicultural societies.
Abstract:Reading proficiency is a fundamental skill in primary education; however, children with special needs classified as slow learners often face significant challenges in developing early reading abilities due to limitations…
in phonological processing. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the phonic method in improving the reading skills of slow learners through a structured intervention approach. The central research problem addresses how the phonic method can be appropriately adapted to overcome reading difficulties in children with learning delays. The subject of this study was a fifth-grade elementary school student who exhibited marked delays in recognizing letter sounds, constructing words, and understanding simple sentence structures. A case study approach was employed, involving a six-session individualized intervention designed in gradual stages. Each session focused on developing phonological skills, including phoneme identification, blending sounds into syllables, phoneme segmentation, and the introduction of complex patterns such as digraphs and diphthongs. The results demonstrated significant improvement in the subject’s reading ability, evidenced by increased accuracy in letter-sound recognition, reading simple words, and constructing short sentences. Although minor errors in pronunciation and word structure persisted, the subject’s consistent progress throughout the intervention confirmed the phonic method as an effective and applicable approach to teaching reading to slow learners. In conclusion, the phonic method successfully addressed phonological barriers through strategies tailored to the learner’s cognitive profile. The novelty of this study lies in its implementation of the phonic method as a step-by-step phonological intervention model within the context of inclusive primary education an area that remains underexplored and underutilized in both educational practice and research in Indonesia.

ar respons siswa dapat ditelaah secara mendalam tanpa adanya perlakuan atau manipulasi terhadap variabel penelitian. Sebanyak 30 siswa kelas VIII dijadikan subjek melalui teknik purposive sampling, dan 6 di antaranya dipilih untuk sesi wawancara semi terstruktur yang mewakili tiga tingkat kemampuan akademik, yaitu tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes diagnostik tertulis, wawancara yang direkam, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data mengacu pada model interaktif Miles dan Huberman yang terdiri atas reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, dengan triangulasi metode untuk menjaga keterpercayaan temuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 46,67% siswa melakukan setidaknya satu kesalahan dalam mengidentifikasi sisi kubus, 63,33% siswa melakukan kesalahan terkait rusuk, dan 36,67% siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam mengidentifikasi titik sudut secara tepat. Tiga kategori kesalahan yang dominan teridentifikasi, yaitu kesalahan konsep berupa kekeliruan mengidentifikasi unsur geometris, kesalahan visualisasi yang berkaitan dengan kesalahan membaca representasi tiga dimensi, dan kesalahan prosedural dalam menghitung komponen geometris secara sistematis. Faktor penyebab meliputi dimensi internal, terutama lemahnya pemahaman konsep dan rendahnya kemampuan penalaran spasial, serta dimensi eksternal seperti minimnya media pembelajaran dan dominasi strategi mengajar berbasis ceramah. Temuan ini menegaskan perlunya pendekatan pembelajaran geometri bangun ruang yang lebih eksploratif, konstruktivis, dan berbasis media di jenjang SMP.
This study investigates the types and underlying causes of errors made by eighth-grade junior high school students when identifying the faces, edges, and vertices of a cube. A qualitative descriptive research design was employed to examine students' responses in depth without manipulating any research variables. Thirty students from the eighth grade were selected through purposive sampling, and six of them participated in semi-structured interview sessions representing three levels of academic ability: high, moderate, and low. Data were gathered using written diagnostic tests, audio-recorded interviews, and documentation. Analysis followed the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with methodological triangulation applied to ensure the trustworthiness of findings. Results indicated that 46.67% of students committed at least one error in identifying cube faces, 63.33% made errors related to edges, and 36.67% had difficulty identifying vertices correctly. Three dominant error categories were identified: conceptual errors, visualization errors, and procedural errors. Causal factors encompassed internal dimensions, particularly weak conceptual understanding and limited spatial reasoning ability, and external dimensions, including insufficient instructional media and lecture-based teaching strategies.
