This study aims to improve student learning outcomes through the implementation of the cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type in science instruction for Grade V students at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis & McTaggart model, which consists of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research was conducted in two cycles to measure progressive improvements in student learning outcomes. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects were all 20 students of Grade V at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. In the pre-cycle stage, before the intervention, only 25% of the students achieved satisfactory learning outcomes, which was categorized as "not yet meeting expectations." After the implementation of the first cycle, student achievement improved to 50%, falling into the category of "approaching fairly successful." However, this result had not yet reached the expected level of success. In the second cycle, the application of the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model was further optimized. The results showed a significant increase, with 80% of students achieving successful outcomes, which was categorized as "approaching highly successful." This improvement demonstrates that the jigsaw model effectively enhances student engagement, individual and group accountability, and conceptual understanding in science learning. Therefore, this study concludes that the cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type has a positive impact on improving student learning outcomes in science. The researcher recommends that teachers, especially in science and religious education (PAI), adopt the jigsaw learning model as a strategic alternative to foster an active, enjoyable, and meaningful learning process. The collaborative nature of the model encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning and for helping their peers, creating a more supportive and productive classroom environment.

. This Classroom Action Research aims to improve students' understanding of map material in social science lessons using the Mind Map learning model. The research was conducted at SD Negeri 1 Damarjati with fifth-grade students as the subjects. The research consisted of two cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The methods used to collect data were tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. In the pre-cycle, students demonstrated a limited understanding of map material, as reflected in both their test scores and classroom participation. The findings revealed a notable increase in students' comprehension after the implementation of the Mind Map learning model. The average class score rose from 56.1 in the pre-cycle to 70.8 in Cycle I, and further increased to 84.5 in Cycle II. Moreover, the percentage of students achieving the minimum mastery criteria (KKM) also improved significantly—from 30% in the pre-cycle to 56.6% in Cycle I, and then to 90% in Cycle II. The improvement was not only in academic achievement but also in learning enthusiasm, student engagement, and the ability to recall and connect concepts. The Mind Map learning model helped students better visualize the relationship between different elements of the subject matter, which enhanced both individual and group learning. Additionally, classroom observations indicated that students became more active in discussions and showed better collaboration with peers. These results indicate that the implementation of the Mind Map learning model not only enhances cognitive engagement and visual comprehension but also fosters students’ participation and collaborative learning environments. Thus, it can be concluded that the Mind Map learning model is an effective, student-centered method to improve understanding of map material in elementary schools.

This study examines the contribution of the PAKEM (Participatory, Active, Creative, and Fun) learning model in fostering students' self-confidence in outlying areas, especially Hoi Village, Oenino District, South Central Timor Regency. The background of the study is the low self-confidence of students due to minimal parental support, social pressure, and geographical and economic challenges that affect the quality of learning. This study aims to identify learning strategies used by teachers to build students' self-confidence and improve their learning achievement. The method used is a qualitative approach through literature studies and interviews with three informants: two elementary school teachers who actively teach and open free tutoring, and one local resident as a direct observer. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the PAKEM model has a significant impact on increasing students' self-confidence through active, contextual, and fun learning activities. Teachers who are pedagogically sensitive are able to create an inclusive and supportive learning space, so that students feel valued and dare to express themselves. Despite obstacles such as time constraints, variations in student character, and a less than ideal teacher-student ratio, the PAKEM model still provides positive results in building learning motivation and restoring students' self-image. In conclusion, PAKEM is not just a learning method, but a transformative approach that is able to overcome students' psychological barriers and create a strong foundation of self-confidence to support children's academic success and character.

The findings indicate that diverse testing methods enhance students’ learning motivation by accommodating different learning styles and have a positive effect on academic achievement, not only in knowledge mastery but also in the application of Christian values in daily life.

Educational supervision serves as a key instrument in improving educational quality; however, its implementation in elementary schools often faces systemic challenges that affect teacher performance and learning quality. This study aims to analyze the implementation of educational supervision by school principals to improve the performance of Catholic Religious Education (CRE) teachers in enhancing educational quality at Inpres Natarita Elementary School. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with the school principal and CRE teacher as research subjects. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Data analysis used the interactive model of Miles and Huberman with stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.The findings reveal significant disparities between the implementation of administrative supervision and academic supervision. Administrative supervision is consistently implemented but remains procedural-mechanistic in nature, while academic supervision experiences systematic deficits with minimal frequency (once per semester). This condition impacts the competence-performance gap phenomenon in CRE teacher performance, characterized by the dominance of lecture methods, limited learning innovation, and minimal professional initiative. Educational quality shows acceptable achievement in graduation rates but has not been optimal in potential realization and educational value-added.Educational supervision at SDI Natarita has not achieved optimal effectiveness due to a paradigm that remains compliance-oriented rather than development-oriented. A fundamental reorientation toward holistic and transformative supervision is needed to optimize teacher performance and educational quality.

Extension workers have been instrumental in encouraging farmers to adopt new technologies, aiming to improve productivity, income, social status, and climate resilience. This study investigates challenges in technology adoption and its impact on vegetable production, economic and social enhancement, and climate resilience in Svay Rieng province. Data from 302 agricultural cooperative members were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation to examine relationships and linear regression to predict factors influencing farmers' achievements. Results show that internal challenges (labor, capital, technical know-how) significantly influence success, followed by external challenges. Investments in hard technologies (e.g., net houses, drip irrigation) strongly correlated with achievements, while soft technologies (technical knowledge) had a lesser impact. Regression analysis identified internal challenges and adoption of hard technologies as key predictors, explaining 25% of overall performance, including 36%, 29%, and 25% of economic, social, and climate resilience improvements, respectively. For production, only internal challenges and hard technologies were determinants, predicting 30%. Addressing internal challenges and enhancing technology applications are critical to improving vegetable producers' success in the province.

This thesis discusses efforts to increase students’ interest in learning Mathematics through the use of concrete media among third-grade students at SDN 110/1 Tenam. The purpose of the study is to improve students’ interest in learning Mathematics by using concrete media with these third-grade students. The results of the study show an increase in learning activities that indicate student interest during Cycle I and Cycle II. In Cycle I, all student learning activities were still at percentages below 70%, with ratings categorized as poor and adequate. Meanwhile, in Cycle II, the increase in student learning activities was shown by all activities reaching percentages above 74%, which means they exceeded the predetermined Learning Objectives Achievement Criteria (KKTP) and were rated good and very good. In addition, improved learning outcomes, as evidence of increased student interest, also showed a significant rise. In Cycle I, students’ learning outcomes did not meet the Learning Objectives Achievement Criteria (KKTP), with a class average of 68.9%, whereas in Cycle II, overall class mastery reached 82.3%. This improvement in learning outcomes indicates that students showed fairly good interest when learning with concrete media.
