Examining how elementary school students' motivation and academic performance are affected by the use of interactive learning tools is the primary goal of this study. One of the developments that might pique students' interest in learning and get them more involved in the process is interactive learning media, which presents information in a more engaging and accessible way. Study was conducted using a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design. Students in fifth grade from one of the local elementary schools served as the study sample. They were split into two groups, one for the experiment and one for control. While the control group stuck to more traditional approaches, the experimental group made use of interactive learning materials. Testing for reliability and validity was not conducted on the learning motivation questionnaire and learning accomplishment assessments that were used to gather data. To compare the groups' levels of motivation and academic success, a t-statistical test was used to analyze the data. Using interactive learning media significantly increased students' learning motivation compared to the control group, according to the findings. Furthermore, compared to the group that relied on conventional methods of instruction, students in the test group outperformed them academically. These findings show that elementary school students may be motivated and accomplish more with the use of interactive learning tools. In order to make learning more engaging and conducive to student achievement, instructors are encouraged to include interactive media into the learning process

This study aims to identify the strategies used by the fifth-grade teacher at SDN 08 Padang Panjang 1 in addressing writing difficulties (dysgraphia) experienced by a student.

An approach that combines mindfulness and social support has shown more effective results in helping students manage academic stress. Therefore, it is recommended that higher education institutions develop programs that integrate these two interventions to improve students' mental well-being sustainably.

This research is a quantitative research using quasi-experimental design. Before receiving treatment, the experimental group and the control group were given a pre-test to evaluate students' science literacy. The location of the research was carried out on Jalan Lintas Riau, class IV SDN 0401, Pasar Ujung Batu Village, Sosa District, Padang Lawas Regency, North Sumatra Province. The research time was carried out in the odd semester in July-October 2024/2025. The sample of this study used 25 students, namely the experimental and control classes. The data collection technique for this study used tests and interviews. Based on the results of the study, the increase in students' science literacy skills was also strengthened by empirical findings in this study, where the average post-test score in the experimental class reached 80.16, much higher than the control class which only reached 73.20. In addition, the results of the t-test showed a very small significance value (p = 0.000056), indicating that the difference in learning outcomes between the two classes was not a coincidence, but a real result of the application of the CTL model. The fact that the experimental class showed lower variance in the posttest also indicates that the CTL model is able to balance achievement between students and reduce academic gaps.
