eceived through vision. It includes the recognition of shapes, colors, sizes, patterns, and visual relationships, which are essential for children’s learning readiness. This study aims to improve the visual perceptual abilities of children aged 5–6 years at TK Sarantau Sasurambi through smartboard-based learning. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method conducted in several cycles, namely planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were children aged 5–6 years. The research instruments included observation sheets of visual perceptual abilities (visual discrimination, visual memory, matching, sequencing, spatial relations, and eye–hand coordination), observation sheets on the use of the smartboard, and field notes. The results showed an improvement in visual perceptual abilities from the pre-cycle to Cycle I and Cycle II. Children’s mastery in the pre-cycle reached only 45%, increased to 65% in Cycle I, and reached 88% in Cycle II. The use of smartboards proved effective as it offers interactive and engaging visual learning experiences and facilitates children’s direct manipulation of objects. Therefore, smartboard-based learning is highly effective in improving the visual perceptual abilities of children aged 5–6 years.

Abstract:Pengintegrasian nilai-nilai moderasi beragama ke dalam pengajaran Pancasila di sekolah dasar telah menjadi kebutuhan mendesak karena munculnya kecenderungan intoleransi dalam pergaulan siswa, sementara praktik pembelajaran…
an di kelas seringkali tidak memberikan pengalaman yang cukup untuk menumbuhkan sikap moderat. Situasi ini menciptakan kesenjangan antara tuntutan kurikulum dan implementasi nyata di kelas, sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan implementasi nilai-nilai moderasi beragama, jenis nilai yang diintegrasikan, dan upaya guru dalam mengoptimalkan pembelajaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif lapangan dengan teknik observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi pada guru dan siswa di sekolah dasar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi nilai-nilai moderasi beragama terjadi melalui penguatan diskusi kelas, pembiasaan saling menghormati, dan mengaitkan materi Pancasila dengan situasi sosial yang dekat dengan pengalaman siswa. Guru mengimplementasikan nilai-nilai toleransi, keseimbangan, musyawarah, dan menghargai perbedaan melalui metode bercerita, kerja kelompok, dan pemanfaatan momen-momen insidental dalam dinamika kelas. Meskipun demikian, efektivitas implementasi masih dipengaruhi oleh keterbatasan pedoman, variasi kompetensi guru, dan kurangnya evaluasi berbasis karakter moderat. Temuan ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya pengembangan model pembelajaran yang lebih sistematis, pelatihan berkelanjutan bagi guru, dan dukungan kebijakan sekolah agar pembelajaran Pancasila dapat menjadi ruang strategis untuk menumbuhkan sikap moderasi beragama sejak dini.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using a Smartboard in increasing students' enthusiasm for learning in the Pancasila Education subject in grade V of SDN 07 Mudiak Lawe, Sungai Pagu District, South Solok Regency.…
gency. From initial observations, it was seen that students' enthusiasm for learning tended to be low, as seen from their inactive attitudes, little interaction, and easily distracted when teachers used less diverse learning methods. To address this, a Smartboard was proposed as an innovative solution. This tool is an interactive whiteboard that uses multimedia and audiovisual technology, so it can combine teaching materials with images, videos, and animations to make learning more interesting and diverse. The method used in this study was the correlation method, namely a quantitative method that studies the relationship between the use of Smartboard interactive features and the level of student enthusiasm for learning. The results showed that the use of Smartboard in learning was proven to be able to increase student enthusiasm for learning. After implementing the Smartboard, students appeared more active and enthusiastic during the learning process, so that their enthusiasm for learning increased and reduced boredom. The implementation of Smartboard involves game-based learning methods such as Duck Race Games and Wordwall, which successfully trigger students' curiosity, focus, and enthusiasm, and encourage them to actively participate in answering questions and interacting in class.

s, and documentation, this study identified three main problems that hinder the success of group learning: gender differences affecting group formation, difficulty ensuring the active participation of each member, and relatively long time for group management. The results of the study indicate that these problems cause group learning to be less effective and have an impact on the decline in students' English skills. Therefore, strategies such as forming inclusive groups, clear division of tasks, the use of participatory observation instruments, the utilization of technology, and the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning approach are recommended to improve the effectiveness of group learning and students' English skills. This study provides an important contribution to developing English teaching methods at the elementary school level by considering social aspects and more effective classroom management.
Abstract:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pendekatan pembelajaran Joyful Learning berbantuan media digital terhadap minat belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam di SDN 178 Tuban dan UPT SP SDN…
170 Mulyasri. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya minat belajar siswa dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam yang masih didominasi oleh metode konvensional dan kurangnya penggunaan media digital yang menarik. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif komparatif, dengan pendekatan eksperimen semu (quasi experiment). Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh siswa kelas V di kedua sekolah tersebut, sedangkan sampel penelitian diambil menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket minat belajar, observasi, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis dengan uji validitas, reliabilitas, dan uji-t (independent sample t-test) untuk melihat perbedaan minat belajar antara kelompok yang menggunakan dan tidak menggunakan pendekatan Joyful Learning berbantuan media digital. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan signifikan minat belajar siswa antara pembelajaran yang menggunakan pendekatan Joyful Learning berbantuan media digital dengan yang tidak menggunakan. Siswa yang mengikuti pembelajaran dengan pendekatan Joyful Learning menunjukkan tingkat antusiasme, perhatian, dan keterlibatan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan siswa pada pembelajaran konvensional. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pendekatan Joyful Learning berbantuan media digital berpengaruh positif terhadap peningkatan minat belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam di sekolah dasar. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar guru PAI lebih mengintegrasikan unsur pembelajaran yang menyenangkan dan berbasis teknologi digital agar proses belajar menjadi lebih interaktif, menarik, dan bermakna.
