This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing Game Based Learning (GBL) in improving students' learning outcomes on the human digestive system material in grade V at SDN Dukuh Kupang 3/490 Surabaya. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a nonequivalent control group design involving two groups: the experimental group (15 students) taught using GBL and the control group (15 students) taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through learning outcome tests (pretest and posttest), observation sheets, and learning motivation questionnaires. Data analysis used the independent sample t-test to examine differences in learning outcomes between the two groups. The results showed that the posttest average score of the experimental group (85.7) was significantly higher than that of the control group (74.3), with p < 0.05. Additionally, observations indicated that active student engagement in the experimental group reached 91%, while the control group only achieved 72%. The application of GBL also increased students' learning motivation, with the motivation score of the experimental group rising from 67.8% to 88.5%. This study concludes that the implementation of Game Based Learning is effective in enhancing learning outcomes, engagement, and motivation in IPAS lessons on the human digestive system material. These findings recommend GBL as an innovative teaching method for improving educational quality in elementary schools.  

The digital revolution has had a significant impact on the world of education, including English language teaching. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) enable more flexible and interactive learning through online platforms such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which provide global access to education at low or no cost. Although MOOCs offer great opportunities, challenges such as the digital divide and integration with traditional curricula remain barriers. Teaching English in the digital era requires innovative approaches that incorporate technology, such as computer-assisted learning (CALL) and AI-based applications, to enhance students' linguistic skills. The role of teachers has also changed, from being a presenter of material to a facilitator who guides students in utilizing digital learning resources. With adequate training and digital literacy support, teachers can integrate technology into learning to create a more relevant and effective learning experience. Adapting to these changes is essential to improving the quality of education in the digital era.

The utilization of cultural value integration in open BIPA (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) teaching materials is a strategic approach that can improve the quality of Indonesian language learning among foreign speakers. This study aims to analyze the utilization of cultural value integration in open Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) teaching materials. This method is carried out by collecting ten scientific articles in Indonesian language journals found from the Google Scholar database. The literature comes from the period 2021 - 2024. This study explores various relevant scientific articles to identify effective methods and media in integrating cultural values ​​into BIPA teaching. From the ten articles analyzed, the results show that the use of cultural elements, such as folklore, traditions, and social practices, in teaching materials not only enriches learning content but also helps learners understand the social and cultural context in which the language is used. This creates a more contextual and in-depth learning experience, which in turn improves learners' communication skills. These findings provide recommendations for the development of BIPA teaching materials that are more comprehensive and responsive to the needs of foreign learners.

The Merdeka Curriculum is a new innovation in the Indonesian education system which aims to give students the freedom to learn and emphasizes the importance of building character and moral values. This study investigates how a free curriculum contributes to the moral formation of students in elementary schools. Relevant sources, such as books, scientific articles and educational policy documents, were collected and analyzed through the literature study method in this research. This research found that a free curriculum, with a more contextual learning approach and involving students' active participation in real activities such as collaborative projects and extracurricular activities, helps students understand moral values ​​and apply them in everyday life. It is proven that parental and community involvement is also an important component in building student character. This research found that the free curriculum not only focuses on improving students' academic achievement but also strengthens moral and ethical values. Therefore, continuous development of this curriculum is necessary to achieve broad educational goals. It is hoped that this research will help educators, policy makers and other researchers improve the quality of education in Indonesia by providing guidance for maximizing the curriculum to achieve more comprehensive educational goals.

This research sought to ascertain and characterize how the use of digital learning resources improved the dance learning outcomes of Class VIII SMPN 17 Kerinci pupils. Class action research (PTK), a subset of qualitative research, is the kind of study that this is. The researcher is the primary instrument in this study, with the help of supporting instruments in the form of written assessments (cognitive). Twenty-five pupils from class VIII A at SMP Negeri 17 Kerinci served as the study's subjects. Two cycles of planning, execution, observation, and reflection were employed in this study. The findings demonstrated that using digital learning resources to teach dance may enhance student learning outcomes. Due to the fact that many pupils still do not take learning seriously, cycle I learning has not been successfully implemented; cycle II learning continues this education. Cycle II learning has been implemented with good execution. Nearly all of the tasks at each level are completed, and students are actively engaged in their education, increasing the quality of their learning results. The average student learning results from written tests during cycle I were 56%, whereas the average student learning outcomes during cycle II were 84%. Applying digital learning media to dance education has been shown to improve student learning results, according to data analysis and debate.

This research is motivated by the learning process of Catholic religious education in the classroom experienced as only for the sake of cognitive formation that is done simply. Cognitive formation is not an easy thing to do, but requires a strategy for the achievement of maximum learning outcomes. In reality, in the learning process, students follow more, so that their cognition is getting weaker. In this case, Jerome S. Brunner suggests that, cognitive theory becomes very important in achieving educational goals, including in Catholic religious education. Meanwhile, the purpose of this research is that students can achieve good mental or cognitive quality, not just intelligence alone. The method used in this research is the literature review method. The results of this study are first, cognitive learning theory is a theory in which it states that the learning process takes precedence over the learning outcomes. Second, the active participation of individuals in the cognitive process is the basis for achieving the learning objectives of Catholic religion. Third, Catholic religious teachers as facilitators who motivate and evaluate students in the learning process of Catholic religious education. Fourth, Catholic religious teachers can use Bruner's cognitive theory for the application of Catholic religious education learning in the classroom.
