This research aims to explore how a story-based learning approach can increase students' understanding of the rain phenomenon in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning at the elementary school level. Using a qualitative approach and case studies, this research involved fourth grade students and science and science teachers in one elementary school. The research results show that story-based learning is able to change students' erroneous understanding of the rain phenomenon into a more accurate scientific understanding. Stories that connect scientific concepts with students' daily experiences successfully increase their engagement and participation in learning. In addition, this approach can also simplify abstract concepts such as the water cycle, making the material more interesting and easy to understand. Despite some challenges, such as the time required to design relevant stories, the positive impact of this approach on students' understanding and their engagement is significant. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the development of more creative and contextual science learning methods in elementary schools.

The purpose of this study is to see how local folktales and science concepts can be used as learning resources in Natural and Social Science lessons in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI). In this study, qualitative methods and content analysis techniques were applied to relevant local folktales. The main data sources were folktales from various regions in Indonesia, which were selected based on their relevance to science concepts in the IPAS curriculum.

In addition, it was assessed the possibility of folklore can be used as learning media. The results showed that local folktales have great potential as a source of IPAS education covering physics and chemistry concepts, as well as natural phenomena and animal and plant life. Students can gain a better understanding of science concepts through folktales, which are more contextualized and easy to understand. Thus, folktales can be incorporated into IPAS learning to improve students' understanding, enrich their learning experience, and raise awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. In addition, this study suggests the creation of folklore-based learning modules and teacher training programs to maximize this potential.

This research discusses the use of code-mixing in the lyrics of the song “Now I Know” by Kaleb J. Code-mixing, in the form of the insertion of English elements into Indonesian lyrics, often appears in modern music as a response to globalization. A qualitative research approach is used to identify the forms of code-mixing (words, phrases, and clauses), its function, and its impact on the song's message. The results of the analysis show that code-mixing dominates the chorus with English to accentuate emotional intensity, while Indonesian is present in the verses to provide a narrative that is familiar to local listeners. The use of two languages reflects a balance between local and global elements, enhancing the musical aesthetics and international appeal of the song. Intercoding acts as a linguistic and artistic tool that expands the range of listeners, supports the themes of love and regret, and strengthens pop music's connection to globalization trends.

This research was motivated by field observations at MAN 2 Payakumbuh City in October 2021, which found that most students did not perform dhuha prayer. The reasons found include lack of facilities such as clean mukena, laziness, and lack of understanding of the virtues of dhuha prayer. This habit shows the low awareness of students of the importance of familiarizing dhuha prayer as part of daily life. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of MAN 2 Payakumbuh students as key informants, and PAI teachers as supporting informants. The results showed that PAI teachers' efforts in developing students' disciplinary character through habituation of dhuha prayers included the application of punishments such as ruku for several minutes and additional assignments, such as memorizing verses of the Qur'an. In addition, teachers provide motivation, advice, and good examples. Support from the school, teachers, and student guardians is a supporting factor for the success of this program. However, there are obstacles such as differences in student characters, lack of collaboration between teachers, and lack of parental support. One of the main obstacles is the lack of understanding provided by other teachers about the importance of dhuha prayer, which results in low participation.
