The aim of this research is to find the problems of advanced writing skills of upper elementary school students, and provide solutions. The research method used is a literature review. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there are two factors that cause students' difficulties in writing at a high level, namely internal factors and external factors. Internal factors include students' weak motor skills, weak visual memory, low students' interest and motivation to learn, and finally students' study habits in class and at home. Meanwhile, external factors include lack of attention from parents towards students, an atmosphere at home that is less supportive, environmental conditions and finally the influence of social media. The lack of writing skills in elementary school students may also be caused by the less than optimal use of innovative learning methods. One way to optimize the writing learning process and increase students' writing motivation is to increase students' interest in writing through interesting learning models and learning media.

Physical education plays an important role in improving the fitness and health of the younger generation, especially at primary school level. This study aims to analyze the effect of physical education programs on the physical fitness of elementary school students. With a qualitative approach, this research collects data through interviews and observations to understand the relationship between physical education programs and students’ physical fitness. The research results show that the level of physical fitness of students at SD Negeri 064966 is still less than optimal, mainly due to lack of physical activity. The physical fitness of male students is better than that of female students, and fitness levels increase with grade level. Physical education programs are proven to have many benefits, including improving physical health, motor skills, mental well-being, social interaction, preventing obesity, developing healthy habits, and improving concentration and academic achievement. In conclusion, a structured physical education program can significantly improve students’ physical fitness and quality of life, so it needs to continue to be developed and implemented effectively in elementary schools.

This research aims to discuss the application of cognitive learning theory in the learning process in elementary schools. The main focus is on how cognitive approaches can improve students' understanding and skills. The research methods used were literature studies and field observations in several elementary schools. Cognitive learning theory was developed by experts such as Jean Piaget and Jerome Bruner, who emphasized the importance of internal mental processes in understanding information. Piaget described four stages of children's cognitive development, while Bruner emphasized discovery-based learning. The research results show that a cognitive approach to learning can increase learning effectiveness, student motivation, as well as critical and creative thinking abilities. Students taught using cognitive methods show active participation in class activities, increased understanding of the material, and higher academic scores compared to traditional learning methods. Teachers report that this method helps students develop higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. The practical implications of this research suggest that cognitive learning methods should be widely applied in elementary schools to optimize students' learning potential.

This research aims to describe the role of teachers in 21st century learning for elementary school students in the independent curriculum.  In this research, the method used is qualitative descriptive analysis with a library research approach, namely an approach that focuses on literature analysis.  Researchers collect data from various written sources such as books, journals and other references.  Based on the research results, it shows that in 21st century learning teachers have a very important and crucial role in the learning process and development of students' skills based on 4C skills (communication, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity).  It is hoped that 21st century learning for elementary school students through the independent curriculum can develop students' potential and skills to compete with developments that are increasingly developing day by day.  The implementation of the independent curriculum in elementary schools also plays a role in creating empowered students, able to adapt to current developments through a project to strengthen the profile of Pancasila students.  Therefore, it is hoped that there will be collaboration and support from parents, school principals and the government so as to produce a young generation who are intelligent, have character and are ready to face the future.

Poor environmental sanitation and malnutrition are the leading causes of STH infection. This study aims to determine the relationship between ecological sanitation, nutritional status, and STH infection incidence in elementary school children. This type of research is descriptive research. The research location is UPT SDN 060831, Medan City. The sample was 32 respondent, Medan City students, obtained using the total sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaire instruments, Body Mass Index (BMI) examinations, and fecal examinations. The data were further analyzed univariately. The results showed that most environmental sanitation conditions did not qualify, such as latrine conditions (68.8%), SPAL conditions (75.0%), trash can conditions (87.5%), and clean water facilities (68.8%). Nutritional status (BMI/U) was most in the normal category (65.6%), and no helminth eggs were found in respondents (negative STH), so a relationship analysis could not be carried out. It is suggested that the school and parents support government programs related to providing mass worm- prevention drugs.

Basic education is the primary foundation in the development of human and societal quality. However, the quality of learning in primary schools is often influenced by the availability of adequate educational facilities. This study aims to identify educational problems at MIS Modern Az-Zakky Elementary School through a literature review and fishbone analysis. In this study, we collected and analyzed various relevant literature on the topic. The analysis results show that several educational problems, such as inadequate classrooms, insufficient learning equipment, and other supporting facilities, can significantly affect the quality of learning in primary schools. Existing educational problems can hinder the learning process, reduce student interest in learning, and lower students' academic achievement. Additionally, the impact of these problems can worsen educational disparities and the overall quality of education.
