No full textThe character of reading enthusiasm is one of the fundamental aspects that needs to be developed from the elementary school level as a foundation for lifelong learning. However, the low reading interest of elementary school students remains a problem faced by the education sector in Indonesia. This condition has an impact on students’ low literacy skills, particularly in understanding texts, processing information, and developing critical thinking abilities. The lack of reading habits from an early age also causes students to be passive in the learning process and experience difficulties in understanding various subjects. In addition, the limited availability of literacy-supporting facilities in schools, such as the lack of interesting reading materials and less literate learning environments, further exacerbates students’ low reading interest. Therefore, strategic and sustainable efforts from schools are needed to foster a reading culture as an integral part of the educational process in elementary schools. This study aims to describe the role of reading corners as a medium for shaping the character of reading enthusiasm among elementary school students. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving teachers and elementary school students as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the presence of well-managed reading corners, equipped with a variety of reading materials and supported by the active role of teachers, can increase students’ reading frequency and interest. Furthermore, reading corners contribute to the development of independent reading habits and the internalization of character values such as discipline, responsibility, and curiosity. Therefore, reading corners can be considered an effective literacy medium in supporting the formation of reading enthusiasm character among elementary school students
Penerapan model Pembelajaran Problem Based Learning (PBL) Berbantuan Media Flipbook Lebah untuk Meningkatkan Numerasi Anak Usia Dini
No full textThis study aims to improve the numeracy skills of early childhood children through the implementation of the "Lebah" digital flipbook media based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in Group A of Al Kautsar Bakti 2 Kindergarten, Madiun. The background of this study is based on initial findings that children's numeracy skills are still low, characterized by difficulties recognizing numbers, counting, matching quantities, and solving simple numerical problems. This condition is caused by numeracy learning that is still conventional, teacher-centered, and lacks contextual and engaging learning for children.
This study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method with the Kemmis and McTaggart model, implemented in two cycles. Each cycle included planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The study subjects were nine children aged 4–5 years. Data were collected through observation of learning activities, assessment of numeracy performance, anecdotal notes, and documentation. The data obtained were analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis to assess improvements in learning outcomes, and qualitative analysis to describe the process and children's engagement during learning.
The results of the study showed a significant increase in children's numeracy skills, from the category of Starting to Develop in the pre-cycle to Developing Very Well in Cycle II, with 85% of children achieving the criteria of Developing According to Expectations and Developing Very Well. In addition, the use of PBL-based flipbooks was able to increase children's engagement, motivation, and the quality of the learning process in a more concrete, contextual, and meaningful way. Thus, the PBL-based "Bee" flipbook media is effective as an innovative alternative in early childhood numeracy learning
THE CONCEPT OF TRUTH IN LANGUAGE USE: WITTGENSTEIN'S THOUGHTS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING
No full textThis study aims to analyze the concept of truth in language use according to Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophical thought and its implications for English language teaching in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods through the analysis of Wittgenstein’s works and recent academic literature in the fields of philosophy of language and pedagogy. Data were obtained from secondary sources, including relevant books and peer-reviewed journal articles, and analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that Wittgenstein’s concept of “truth as use” directly influences a more communicative and contextual approach to English language teaching. The main finding reveals that a language-games-based approach enhances students’ communicative performance by balancing grammatical accuracy and social acceptability. Moreover, the results emphasize that learning evaluation should not only focus on propositional truth but also on functional truth, reflecting learners’ ability to use language appropriately in social contexts. Consequently, this research contributes theoretically by bridging Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language with modern pedagogical practices and offers a conceptual foundation for developing more pragmatic curricula and evaluation strategies in English language teaching
KAJIAN LITERATUR: PENDEKATAN REALISTIC MATHEMATICS EDUCATION (RME) DALAM PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN NUMERASI DI SD
No full textThis Systematic Literature Review aims to examine the effectiveness of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach in enhancing numeracy skills among Elementary School (ES) students. The study is motivated by the low global numeracy literacy of Indonesian students and the dominance of conventional mathematics teaching methods. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), analyzing empirical research journals concerning RME and numeracy in ES published from 2018–2025. The synthesis results demonstrate that applying RME has a significant impact on improving students' numeracy literacy compared to conventional methods. RME is proven effective because it begins learning from realistic contexts, promotes active student involvement in guided reinvention, and links abstract concepts to daily life experiences. This improvement covers the ability to understand problem context, mathematical reasoning, and solving real-life problems. This review concludes that RME is a systematic and relevant learning strategy for strengthening ES students' numeracy, aligned with the demands of the Merdeka Curriculum

This study aims to analyze the effects of work motivation, principal leadership, and emotional intelligence on teacher performance, as well as to examine the moderating role of organizational culture. The study employed a quantitative exploratory design. The population consisted of 149 public and private junior high school English teachers who are members of the Subject Teacher Working Group (MGMP) in Temanggung Regency. Using the Slovin formula, 109 teachers were selected through random sampling. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS software. The analysis included descriptive statistics and outer model testing, covering convergent validity, discriminant validity, and construct reliability, all of which met criteria. Inner model testing assessed model fit, multicollinearity, and effect size, indicating that the model was fit and free from problems. The results show that work motivation, principal leadership, and emotional intelligence have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. Furthermore, organizational culture significantly moderates the relationship between these independent variables and teacher performance, thereby strengthening their influence. In conclusion, improving teacher performance is not solely determined by individual attributes and leadership quality, but is also influenced by the strength of school organizational culture. Therefore, fostering a collaborative and supportive organizational culture is an essential strategy for enhancing teacher performance in schools.
