Abstract:This study aims to examine in depth the application of neuroplasticity principles in learning at elementary schools, focusing on the teaching practices of five teachers at SDS Dharma Putra. Neuroplasticity, as a core concept…
cept in neuroscientific learning, describes the brain's ability to form, strengthen, or modify neural networks through experience, repetition, meaningful activities, and students' emotional involvement. Given the characteristics of elementary school students who are at a stage of cognitive development that is highly responsive to learning environment stimulation, a study of the application of neuroplasticity by teachers is important to ensure that the learning process is in line with the brain's working mechanisms.This study used a neuropsychological instrument measuring the dimensions of neuroplasticity to assess four main indicators, namely repetition & practice, dedicated time for review, use of interactive activities, and contextual learning that connects the material to students' real experiences. The data was reinforced through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis of the learning strategies applied by each teacher. The results showed variations in application between teachers. Some teachers showed strong implementation in interactive activities and contextual learning (score of 5), while structured repetition showed lower consistency (score of 3). The interview findings reinforced the instrument results by showing patterns of strategies such as the use of inspirational stories, educational games, quizzes with prizes, conveying the benefits of learning, and scaffolding through easy material as a starting point. This study concludes that the application of neuroplasticity principles is present in teachers' teaching practices, although the level of depth and routine still needs to be strengthened. The theoretical implication confirms that learning that integrates positive emotions, collaborative activities, planned repetition, and contextualization of material has the potential to have a significant impact on the formation of students' neural networks. Practically, this study provides recommendations for strengthening neuroscientific learning-based instructional design as an effort to optimize the learning process of elementary school students.

Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh rendahnya hasil belajar IPAS peserta didik karena kurangnya penggunaan model pembelajaran sehingga peserta didik kurang terlibat secara aktif dalam proses pembelajaran. Solusi dari pemecahan masalah tersebut adalah menggunakan model pembelajaran Teams Games Tournament (TGT). Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan peningkatan hasil belajar IPAS.
Jenis penelitian ini adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Subjek penelitian ini adalah peserta didik kelas V UPT SD Negeri 25 Koto Kaciak pada semester I tahun pelajaran 2024/2025. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama dua siklus, masing-masing siklus terdiri dari 2 pertemuan.
Hasil penelitian pada mata pelajaran IPAS siklus I diperoleh ketuntasan hasil belajar sebanyak 50% dan meningkat pada siklus II menjadi 85%. Pada hasil observasi guru siklus I diperoleh 80,25% dan meningkat pada siklus II menjadi 95,71%. Sedangkan pada aspek peserta didik diperoleh 69,07% dan meningkat pada siklus II menjadi 84,86%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa model pembelajaran Teams Games Tournament (TGT) dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar IPAS peserta didik kelas V UPT SD Negeri 25 Koto Kaciak Kecamatan Sungai Pagu Kabupaten Solok Selatan.
Abstract:This qualitative descriptive study investigated the impact of using board games into English vocabulary instruction for eleventh-grade students at MA Miftahul Ulum Bettet. Data were collected through classroom observations,…
ions, structured interviews with five students and the teacher, and document analysis (lesson plans, student reflections). Thematic analysis revealed that board games significantly enhanced student engagement and motivation, fostering collaborative learning and contextualized vocabulary acquisition. Students reported increased enjoyment and improved vocabulary retention compared to traditional methods. While challenges related to time management and instructional alignment were identified, the findings strongly suggest that board games offer a valuable and effective supplementary approach to vocabulary instruction, aligning with constructivist and experiential learning principles.

he class they teach, especially English teachers. This study used library research methods, the data were taken from several articles and similar research. The source of data came from Google Scholar by using keywords the role of the teacher in the independent curriculum and the application of the independent curriculum in English classes. The results of this study indicate that English teachers are people who play an important role in implementing the independent curriculum. The English teacher in this curriculum acts as a giver of understanding, and has influence to improve the quality of education as well as an adapter that aligns the curriculum with the characteristics and needs of students. English teachers can implement an independent curriculum by changing teaching methods, using new strategies to improve learning outcomes. For curriculum implementation there are several strategies that English teachers can use such as games, music, using interactive learning media when teaching, then you can also use Role-play, Information-gap activities, Jigsaw activities, open-ended discussions and debates.
Abstract:This study aims to examine the utilization of traditional games as educational play tools (EPT) in early childhood learning. The rapid development of technology has reduced children's interest in traditional games, making…
g it necessary to preserve and utilize them as learning media. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews and observations. The results show that traditional games have significant potential in developing children's cognitive, motor, social-emotional, and character values. Furthermore, the integration of local wisdom into educational play tools can foster children's cultural awareness and identity from an early age. However, several challenges remain, such as limited references, teacher competence, and the influence of modern culture. Therefore, collaboration among various stakeholders is needed to optimally develop and implement local wisdom-based educational play tools
