Social Studies (IPS) learning at the elementary school level plays a strategic role in shaping students’ understanding of social, cultural, and economic life, as well as national values. This study aims to analyze the differences between the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum in IPS learning, including planning, implementation, the use of methods and media, and the assessment of learning outcomes. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study, collecting data from curriculum documents, lesson plans (RPP), syllabi, classroom observations, interviews with teachers and school principals, and student questionnaires. The results indicate that the 2013 Curriculum provides a clear learning structure, detailed lesson plans, and systematic material organization that facilitates teachers, but it is less flexible and less contextualized for students. In contrast, the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes flexibility, relevance of content to the local context, innovative methods such as project-based learning and blended learning, as well as holistic assessment focusing on critical thinking skills, social literacy, and student character. The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum can enhance students’ learning interest, active participation, understanding of social concepts, and social awareness; however, its effectiveness depends on teacher readiness, school support, facilities, and consistency in assessment. These findings suggest that selecting an appropriate IPS curriculum should consider a balance between structure and flexibility, content relevance, teacher competence, and supporting facilities.

Helminth infections caused by Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) and Taenia sp. remain a major public health concern in tropical regions, including Indonesia, particularly among elementary school children. This study aimed to identify the presence of eggs and larvae of intestinal nematodes and cestodes in fecal samples collected from elementary school children in Bekoso Village, East Kalimantan. The research employed a descriptive survey method with a cross-sectional approach, and laboratory examinations were conducted using the Kato-Katz technique. A total of 16 fecal samples were examined to detect Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm, and Taenia sp. eggs. The results showed that 12.5% of samples were positive for hookworm eggs, 12.5% for Taenia sp. eggs, and 6.25% for Ascaris lumbricoides eggs. These findings indicate that poor personal hygiene and inadequate environmental sanitation contribute to an increased risk of intestinal helminth transmission. The study highlights the importance of preventive efforts through the promotion of clean and healthy living behaviors, consistent use of footwear, handwashing with soap, and community participation in mass deworming programs to reduce the prevalence of intestinal helminth infections among elementary school children.

This study aims to examine the role of mathematics education in building numerical literacy in elementary schools, as well as strategies that can be implemented to enhance students' numerical skills.

This study explores the translation shifts found in the soundtrack of the film Rapunzel – Tangled, specifically in the German-to-Indonesian translation. The objective is to identify the types of translation shifts and analyze their distribution and tendencies during the translation process. The research data were taken from three songs: "Wann fängt mein Leben an?", "Mutter weiß mehr", and "Endlich sehe ich das Licht". A qualitative descriptive method was employed, focusing on lines containing translation shifts. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed based on Catford’s (1965) theory of translation shifts. A total of 74 translation shifts were identified, with the highest distribution in "Mutter weiß mehr" (32 shifts), followed by "Wann fängt mein Leben an?" and "Endlich sehe ich das Licht" (21 shifts each). In "Wann fängt mein Leben an?", structural shifts dominated, making up 38.9% of the shifts, followed by class and unit shifts (27.8% each), and intrasystem shifts at 5.5%. In "Mutter weiß mehr", structural shifts accounted for 35.4%, class shifts 34.1%, unit shifts 28%, and intrasystem shifts 2.4%. In "Endlich sehe ich das Licht", class shifts were the most prevalent (33.3%), followed by unit shifts (31.7%), structural shifts (30%), and intrasystem shifts (5%). The study concludes that structural and class shifts are the dominant strategies used in translating the soundtrack, helping to manage linguistic differences while maintaining meaning, musicality, and emotional impact in the target language.

Hand washing is a major pillar in clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS). However, there are still children who do not understand the correct handwashing technique so that germ cleaning is not optimal. This community service activity aims to improve students' knowledge and motor skills in practicing the six steps of hand washing according to World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The method used in this activity is interactive counseling combined with live demonstrations. The stages of the activity include providing material through audiovisual media (video/poster), direct demonstrations by instructors, and independent practice by all participants. In addition, a question and answer session was held to ensure student understanding and corrective feedback on inappropriate movements. Evaluation instruments in the form of observation sheets were used to assess the accuracy of the sequence, duration, and coverage of the hand area when washing. The result of this activity was the success of all participants in practicing the six-step sequence of handwashing correctly independently. The involvement of teachers and school health workers also strengthens the sustainability of this practice through regular monitoring. Through this education, it is hoped that early awareness will arise which has become a routine habit to reduce the risk of disease transmission in the school and home environment and support the creation of a culture of clean living from an early age.

Oral and dental health problems among elementary school children remain relatively high, particularly dental caries, which is influenced by low levels of knowledge and inadequate toothbrushing skills. Children aged 6–12 years are in the mixed dentition phase and therefore require special attention in maintaining oral hygiene. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and toothbrushing skills of elementary school students through a demonstration method using a dental phantom model. The activity was conducted at SD Inpres Maccini Sombala I in January 2026 and involved elementary school students as participants. The methods applied included oral health education, demonstration of proper toothbrushing techniques using a dental phantom, mass toothbrushing practice, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test as well as direct observation. The results showed an improvement in students’ understanding of the correct timing, frequency, and technique of toothbrushing, namely brushing twice a day after breakfast and before bedtime. In addition, students were able to practice proper toothbrushing techniques more effectively after the demonstration. The use of a dental phantom as an educational medium proved to be effective in increasing students’ interest, understanding, and toothbrushing skills. This activity is expected to help establish good toothbrushing habits from an early age and support promotive and preventive efforts to reduce the prevalence of dental caries among elementary school children.

This study aims to describe the implementation of ethical philosophy learning and the assessment pattern for student learning outcomes at the KH. Ahmad Sanusi Sukabumi Institute (INKHAS). Ethical philosophy is understood as a critical study of good and bad values in human actions, which not only accepts moral teachings normatively, but examines them rationally and in depth. In the learning process, this course applies discussion and dialogue methods as the main approach to encourage students to think critically, express opinions argumentatively, and build mutual respect. The lecturer acts as a facilitator who directs the discussion, instills academic ethics, and maintains a scientific learning flow. The assessment pattern does not focus on memorizing theories, but rather on students' analytical abilities as measured through discussion participation, individual assignments, and group assignments. The results of the study indicate that this method is effective in developing students' conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, and moral awareness, although obstacles such as lack of motivation in some students due to the abstract nature of the material are still found. Overall, ethical philosophy learning at INKHAS plays an important role in shaping ethical character, reflective thinking, and responsible attitudes in academic and social life.

Children living in coastal areas face various challenges in developing their literacy and creative potential due to limited access to non-formal educational facilities and adequate learning resources. This condition results in low stimulation of reading, writing, communication, and creative expression skills from an early age.

Background: Pentol is a round-shaped snack that is popular with elemtary school children with a savory taste, affordable price, and easy to find in the school environment. However, uncontrolled consumption of pentol raises concerns about fat and sodium chloride (NaCl) content. Objective: This study aims to determine the levels of fat and NaCl contained in pentol snacks sold at Tondo Urban Village Elementary School, PaluCity. Method: This study used a Complate Random Design (RAL) on five pentol samples in five elementary school in Tondo Village, with two repetitions. Fat content was analyzed by the Soxhlet method, While sodium chloride (NaCl) content was analyzed by Mohr titration. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Findings: The fat content in five pentol sampels at Tondo Urban Village Elementary School ranged from 2,16-4,75% (maximum SNI limit of 10%), while sodium chloride content was 1,55-2,15% (maximum SNI limit of 2,5%). Statistical tests (p=0,4>0.05) showed no significant difference between samples. Although still below the SNI limit, the fat and sodium content is quite high for school children’s snacks. Conclusion: The fat and NaCl content of pentol sancks at Tondo Urban Village Elementary School, Palu City is still below the SNI limit, but the consumption of these snacks need to be limited. Implications: it is hoped that there will be further researchers who analyzed carbhohydrates, proteins and other additives such as preservatives in pentol snacks.

This study provides insights into the effectiveness of using Kahoot! in the Jigsaw learning model.

Penelitian ini mengkaji simbol air dalam Injil Yohanes sebagai bahasa wahyu yang mengungkapkan identitas ilahi Yesus dalam kerangka pneumatologi. Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah adanya kecenderungan studi sebelumnya yang menafsirkan simbol air secara parsial, baik sebagai simbol sakramental maupun metafora spiritual, tanpa melihat keterkaitannya secara menyeluruh dalam struktur naratif Injil Yohanes dan tradisi Yahudi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan bahwa simbol air merupakan struktur teologis yang mengintegrasikan kristologi, dan pneumatologi  Yohanes. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi kepustakaan, melalui analisis teologis-intertekstual terhadap teks-teks Yohanes yang berkaitan dengan simbol air serta hubungannya dengan Perjanjian Lama dan tradisi Yahudi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa simbol air berkembang secara progresif dari makna literal menuju simbol kehidupan ilahi dan Roh Kudus, serta mencapai klimaks dalam peristiwa penyaliban sebagai pencurahan Roh dan kelahiran Gereja. Dengan demikian, air berfungsi sebagai medium pewahyuan yang tidak hanya menjelaskan karya keselamatan, tetapi juga mengungkapkan identitas Yesus sebagai sumber kehidupan ilahi. Implikasi penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa pneumatologi Yohanes pada dasarnya merupakan ekspresi kristologi dalam bahasa simbolik.

Pertumbuhan kawasan industri sebagai dampak urbanisasi turut mendorong peningkatan aktivitas ekonomi di Indonesia. Kawasan Industri Candi di Kota Semarang menjadi salah satu contohnya, namun belum sepenuhnya ditunjang oleh infrastruktur yang memadai. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi tingkat kepuasan dan prioritas pemenuhan infrastruktur berdasarkan persepsi pekerja. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui survei terhadap 100 pekerja dari 111 perusahaan, dengan teknik multi-stage random sampling. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan metode Customer Satisfaction Index dan Importance Performance Analysis. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa dari total infrastruktur yang dianalisis, sebelas telah memenuhi standar, empat cukup memenuhi, dan satu belum memenuhi pedoman teknis kawasan industri. Tingkat kepuasan pekerja terhadap ketersediaan dan kondisi infrastruktur mencapai 72% (kategori puas), sedangkan tingkat kesesuaian antara kepentingan dan kepuasan sebesar 99%. Meski demikian, lima infrastruktur jaringan jalan, jaringan air bersih, sistem pengolahan sampah, unit pemadam kebakaran, dan sarana Kesehatan masih memerlukan pemenuhan atau perbaikan segera. Temuan ini menjadi dasar rekomendasi bagi pengelola dan pemerintah untuk memprioritaskan pemenuhan infrastruktur, guna mendukung keberlangsungan industri dan kesejahteraan pekerja secara optimal.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh bentuk bukaan terhadap kondisi termal bangunan Masjid Jami Al-Hurriyah di Jakarta Selatan. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan dukungan data kuantitatif sebagai data pendukung untuk memperkuat analisis kualitatif, bukan untuk pengujian statistik. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi observasi lapangan, pengukuran suhu udara menggunakan termometer digital, serta analisis visual terhadap pola aliran udara pada setiap lantai bangunan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) bukaan yang terbatas di lantai dasar menyebabkansirkulasi udara tidak optimal dengan suhu berkisar antara 27,6–29,3°C; (2) penggunaan bukaan lebar berbahan kaca di lantai satu meningkatkan suhu ruang hingga 29,1°C akibat paparan radiasi matahari; dan (3) keberadaan bukaan vertikal berupa skylight di lantai dua mampu menciptakan mekanisme stack ventilation yang lebih efektif dengan suhu ruang berkisar antara 26,8–27,3°C. Meskipun demikian, seluruh lantai bangunan belum memenuhi standar kenyamanan termal berdasarkan SNI, yaitu 22,8–25,8°C. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya penerapan strategi desain pasif, seperti optimalisasiventilasi silang, pengendalian radiasi matahari melalui elemen peneduh, serta pemilihan material bangunan yang mampu mengurangi perpindahan panas, guna meningkatkan kenyamanan termal pada bangunan masjid di iklim tropis.
