The background of this research is based on the low student engagement and shallow conceptual understanding due to the dominance of conventional teacher-centered learning methods, so that more interactive and meaningful learning innovations are needed. This study aims to explore student conceptual understanding and learning activity through the use of Islamic value-based Pop-Up Student Worksheets (LKPD) on the material of rights and obligations in Civics learning for grade VI at SDI Miftahul Falah Karawang Timur. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects consisted of teachers and grade VI students who were selected purposely. Data collection techniques included observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, with validity testing through triangulation of sources and techniques. The results showed that the use of Islamic value-based Pop-Up Student Worksheets was able to significantly improve student conceptual understanding and learning activity. This is evident from the increase in students' average scores from 60% to 90%. Students were able to understand the concept of rights and obligations, explain their relationship, and relate them to Islamic values such as honesty, responsibility, and justice. In conclusion, Islamic value-based Pop-Up LKPD is effective in increasing understanding and learning activity and creating interactive, contextual, and meaningful learning.
This study aims to determine the importance of preserving the Sundanese language with digital learning media as an effort to maintain Islamic heritage and values in grade 2 students of SDIT Nuralima. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research with a classroom action research design. The research method was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation of students' daily learning and communication activities. The study population was all 72 students in Grade 2 of SDIT Nuralima, with a research sample of 15 students selected using purposive sampling. The research results show that the use of Sundanese in schools is still implemented through lessons, daily conversations, and school cultural activities. Teachers and parents play a crucial role in fostering polite Sundanese use in accordance with Islamic values, such as etiquette, good manners, and respect for elders. However, the development of digital technology and the use of social media have led to a decline in students' interest in using regional languages. The conclusion of this study is that preserving the Sundanese language as an effort to maintain Islamic heritage and values in grade 2 students of SDIT Nuralima needs to be carried out jointly by schools, families, and the community so that cultural heritage is maintained and can be a means of instilling Islamic values in children from an early age.
Difficulties in learning mathematics are still one of the main problems in basic education, especially in the aspect of problem solving. At SDN Cipasung, grade IV students show obstacles in understanding basic mathematical concepts such as multiplication, division, and lack of motivation to learn and independent learning strategies. This has an impact on their low ability to conquer the story is the art of translating word puzzles into a mindset that makes sense and is relevant to reality. This study aims to analyze the role of teachers in overcoming the problem of students' learning difficulties in solving mathematics problems in the Independent Curriculum. This research is motivated by the importance of implementing differentiated learning and a student-centered approach, as emphasized in the Independent Curriculum. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The subjects of the study were grade IV teachers, principals, and students. The results of the study show that teachers have carried out their roles actively and responsively: as facilitators, teachers create a fun learning environment and use concrete media; As motivators, teachers provide praise, appreciation, and emotional support to increase the spirit of learning; and as a mentor, teachers provide individual guidance, adjust learning strategies, and provide reinforcement on an ongoing basis. In conclusion, the presence of teachers is not just teaching, but is the key determinant in unraveling the complexity of story problems and mathematical logic that often hinder students. The implementation of the Independent Curriculum becomes more effective if teachers are able to adapt the learning approach to the characteristics and needs of students as a whole, both academically and emotionally.
This study aims to analyse innovations in the Islamic education curriculum at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah based on collaborative learning in improving the quality of learning and students’ twenty-first-century competencies. The study employed a qualitative approach using the library research method. Data were obtained from accredited national journals, international journals, academic books, and educational policy documents relevant to the last five years. Data collection techniques were conducted through a systematic literature review, while data analysis employed thematic analysis through data reduction, categorisation, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that curriculum innovation based on collaborative learning is capable of creating more active, participatory, and contextual learning processes in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. This approach contributes to the enhancement of communication skills, collaboration, academic literacy, as well as the strengthening of Islamic values and students’ character development. The integration of digital technology also supports learning effectiveness and broadens access to learning resources. However, the implementation of curriculum innovation still faces several challenges, including limited teacher competence, inadequate infrastructure, and low levels of digital literacy. Therefore, strengthening teachers’ capacities and institutional support is necessary to ensure the optimal implementation of a collaborative learning-based curriculum.
Cognitive load management during complex tasks represents a fundamental challenge for elementary school students, whose working memory capacity remains limited and metacognitive abilities are still developing. This qualitative literature review explores how young learners experience and manage cognitive load when confronted with complex academic tasks, synthesizing theoretical perspectives from cognitive psychology and instructional design. The investigation reveals that elementary school students employ varied strategies ranging from simple repetition to rudimentary task segmentation, though most strategies remain unstructured and suboptimal without explicit guidance. External factors including instructional design, teacher support, and physical learning environment substantially influence students' success in managing cognitive load. Individual differences in working memory capacity, prior knowledge, and emotional regulation shape diverse experiences among students facing similar tasks. Effective cognitive load management requires minimizing extraneous load through well designed instruction, managing intrinsic load by aligning task difficulty with developmental readiness, and optimizing germane load through activities that promote schema construction. The development of metacognitive awareness plays a crucial role, enabling students to recognize overload conditions and adjust strategies accordingly. Peer collaboration, when properly structured, can distribute cognitive load and enhance learning outcomes. The experiences of cognitive load management during elementary years have long term implications for the formation of academic dispositions and resilience. The study contributes foundational understanding for designing developmentally appropriate learning experiences that respect the cognitive capacities of young learners
