This study aims to describe the planning, implementation, and assessment of differentiated instruction in teaching descriptive text writing to ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Bendo, Magetan Regency. The study was conducted in response to students difficulties in generating ideas, selecting appropriate vocabulary, organizing ideas coherently, and producing vivid descriptive texts. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through lesson plan observation, classroom observation, teacher interviews, and documentation of student learning products. The findings indicate that differentiated instruction was planned through a Merdeka Curriculum-based teaching module, diagnostic assessment, contextual material selection, and the use of PowerPoint, observation sheets, and tiered student worksheets. The implementation emphasized process and learning-environment differentiation through triggering questions, direct observation of real objects around the school, group work, individual scaffolding, immediate feedback, and reflection. Assessment was carried out continuously through diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment. Differentiated instruction helped students generate concrete ideas, organize their writing more systematically, increase motivation, and strengthen descriptive text writing skills. These findings affirm that differentiated instruction can serve as an adaptive strategy in Indonesian language learning at junior high school level.

Natural Science (IPA) learning in elementary schools requires the use of learning media that is able to increase students' interest in learning, learning outcomes, and critical thinking skills. However, science learning is still often done conventionally, causing students to be less active and easily bored. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate learning media that is interactive and in accordance with technological developments. One of the digital learning media that can be used is the Quizlet application. This study aims to examine the application of digital flashcards and interactive quizzes using Quizlet learning media in learning the properties and changes of the form of objects in elementary schools. The research method used is a literature study by examining various relevant sources in the form of scientific journals, research articles, and supporting references related to the use of Quizlet in learning. The results of the study show that the use of Quizlet has a positive impact on the learning process, especially in increasing students' interest, activeness, and feelings of happiness during learning. Quizlet's flashcard and test features help students understand the material through engaging visual and audio-visual displays and varied practice questions. In addition, the use of Quizlet has also been proven to be able to improve students' critical thinking skills through question-answering activities, analyzing material, and providing opinions. Student learning outcomes showed an increase with an average score above the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). Thus, Quizlet can be concluded as an effective, engaging, and relevant digital learning medium to support science learning in elementary schools.  

This study focuses on the analysis of students' learning experiences through artificial volcanic eruption experiments in understanding the material of changes in the state of matter at MI Miftahul Ulum. The problem underlying this study is the difficulty students have in learning the abstract concept of changes in state, so a learning strategy based on real experiences is needed. The artificial volcanic eruption experiment was chosen because it is able to show the process of changes in the state of matter through simple chemical reactions in an interesting and easy-to-understand way. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The subjects of the study were fifth-grade students of MI Miftahul Ulum. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that the implementation of the artificial volcanic eruption experiment created a meaningful learning experience for students. Students appeared more enthusiastic, active, and easily grasped the concept of changes in the state of matter because they experienced the change process directly. In addition, this experiment also fostered students' curiosity, cooperation, and scientific attitudes in learning activities. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the artificial volcanic eruption experiment is an effective learning medium to strengthen the learning experience while improving students' understanding of the material of changes in the state of matter.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using animated video media in improving elementary school students’ understanding of the material of changes in the form of objects, which includes the process of melting, freezing, evaporating, condensing, and sublimating. The material is often difficult for students to understand because it is abstract and cannot always be observed directly. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, where data is collected and analyzed from various reliable sources such as accredited scientific journal articles, books, and previous research results. The analysis technique used refers to the Miles and Huberman model, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the animated video media can improve students’ cognitive understanding through visualization of complex processes, strengthen information retention, and reduce common misconceptions. In addition, this media is also proven to increase students’ motivation, interest in learning, and participation in learning. The effectiveness of animated videos is greatly influenced by the quality of visual design, narration, appropriate duration, and their integration in learning activities such as discussions or experiments. Despite challenges such as limited facilities and teacher training needs, strategic solutions can be implemented to optimize the use of this media. Thus, animated videos can be an innovative and relevant strategic alternative in science learning in elementary schools, especially in conveying abstract concepts in a concrete and fun way.
