This study investigates the development of Indonesian language literacy among third-grade elementary school students. The primary problems identified were acute classroom passivity and low reading comprehension, evidenced by an initial learning mastery of only 45.16%, which were largely driven by conventional teacher-centered pedagogy. The objective of this research is to enhance early-grade reading literacy and active participation through an innovative instructional intervention. The proposed method employed a two-cycle Classroom Action Research (CAR) design at SDN Jrebeng Kulon 1, integrating the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by serial picture media. This approach utilizes chronological visual scaffolding to facilitate narrative comprehension for students in the concrete operational stage. The results demonstrated a highly significant academic progression: classical learning mastery increased to 70.97% (mean score: 80.80) in Cycle I and culminated in an absolute 100% mastery rate (mean score: 94.51) by the end of Cycle II. The synthesis of these findings reveals that transitioning from static visual aids to serial visual stimuli within a problem-oriented framework effectively mitigates cognitive dissonance and eradicates classroom passivity. In conclusion, the integration of the PBL model with serial picture media serves as a comprehensive pedagogical solution that not only maximizes cognitive reading comprehension but also reconstructs students' verbal articulation and social-collaborative skills, offering a highly scalable strategy for early primary education.

This study aimed to improve students’ learning motivation and Indonesian language learning outcomes in Class IVA of SD Negeri Kradenan through the use of Quizizz as a learning medium. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative approaches using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design developed by Suharsimi Arikunto. The participants consisted of Class IVA students and the Indonesian language teacher at SD Negeri Kradenan. The study was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and achievement tests. The research instruments included interview guidelines, observation sheets, and learning outcome tests. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ learning motivation across several indicators, including enthusiasm for learning, willingness to listen to the teacher’s explanations, confidence in answering questions, and willingness to complete practice exercises. The average achievement of all learning motivation indicators reached 88% by the end of the second cycle. Furthermore, students’ learning outcomes also improved substantially. Learning mastery increased from 37.5% in the pre-cycle stage to 58.3% in Cycle I and reached 83.3% in Cycle II. These findings demonstrate that the use of Quizizz in Indonesian language learning effectively enhances students’ learning motivation, which subsequently contributes to improved learning outcomes.

This research is motivated by the urgency of integrating humanistic values into literature learning for character building among students, as well as the lack of scientific studies that thoroughly examine the novel ‘3726 MDPL’ by Nurwina Sari. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the humanistic values contained in the novel and to describe its relevance as teaching material in high schools. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study design, where data is collected thru content analysis and documentation techniques, and then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The research results show that there are six forms of humanistic values in the novel, namely respecting others opinions, cooperation, caring for others, helping each other, solidarity, and self-sacrifice. These values have significant pedagogical relevance as teaching materials in high school literature because the align the Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes Phase F and the Pancasila Student Profile, particularly in the dimensions of mutual cooperation and global diversity, thus making them an effective medium for fostering empathy and social sensitivity among students.

This study aims to examine and review the impact of language learning through text-based methods on the cognitive abilities of elementary school students. The research approach used is a qualitative study with the main instrument being the researcher, and supporting instruments including observation, interviews, and documentation of student learning outcomes at the elementary school level. Research data was obtained from various library sources, such as books, scientific articles, national and international journals, and other relevant scientific works related to text-based learning and student cognitive development. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Indonesian language learning with text-based methods has a diverse impact on students. Differences in learning outcomes are not only influenced by the strategies and learning processes implemented by teachers, but are also closely related to students' cognitive abilities in understanding, interpreting, and processing information from Indonesian texts. Thus, text-based methods need to be adapted to the characteristics and levels of students' cognitive abilities so that learning objectives can be optimally achieved.

The current research examines the effect of the Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) cooperative learning model on Indonesian language outcomes among sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 106805 Manunggal. Operating within a quantitative framework, this quasi-experimental research utilized a non-equivalent control group design. The sample comprised 50 students, classified into a control group (23 students) and an experimental group (27 students). Data collection involved observations, documentation, alongside pretest and posttest scores. The 10-item essayThe instrument achieved a high level of reliability, with Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients of 0.700 on the pretest and 0.807 on the posttest. Diagnostic tests confirmed the data were normal and homogeneous. The experimental group achieved a substantial learning improvement of 42.04, significantly outperforming the control group's gain of 17.39. The independent sample t-test yielded a critical significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, confirming that the STAD model exerts a significant and positive influence on student’s indonesian language achievement.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using E-Short Story media in teaching children’s story reading skills to fifth-grade students of SD 12/79 Batu Gading, Mare District. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 32 fifth-grade students. The instrument used was a reading comprehension test administered before and after the implementation of the E-Short Story media. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a t-test to identify differences in students’ learning outcomes before and after the treatment. The results showed an improvement in students’ ability to read and understand children’s stories after the use of E-Short Story media. The mean posttest score was higher than the mean pretest score, indicating that the E-Short Story media was effective in improving reading skills. The use of E-Short Story media also increased students’ learning motivation, comprehension of story content, and active participation in the learning process. Therefore, E-Short Story media is recommended as an alternative learning medium for teaching reading in elementary schools.

The effectiveness of public sector organizations in delivering quality services and achieving their mandates depends critically on how they manage their human resources. This study examines the relationship between strategic human resource management (SHRM) practices and organizational performance in Indonesian public sector organizations. Employing a mixed-methods research design, data were collected from 312 public sector managers and HR professionals across 45 government agencies through surveys and 32 in-depth interviews. The research investigates five key SHRM dimensions: strategic recruitment and selection, performance management systems, employee development and training, compensation and rewards, and employee engagement. Findings reveal significant positive relationships between SHRM practices and multiple performance indicators including service quality, operational efficiency, employee productivity, and organizational innovation. Regression analysis demonstrates that SHRM practices collectively explain 47.3% of variance in organizational performance scores. Qualitative data illuminate implementation challenges including limited HR professional capacity, rigid civil service regulations, political interference, and resistance to performance-based management. The study identifies critical success factors such as top management commitment, alignment between HR strategy and organizational strategy, investment in HR analytics capabilities, and cultural transformation toward merit-based practices. Results indicate that high-performing public organizations distinguish themselves through systematic talent management, data-driven HR decision-making, continuous learning cultures, and stronger linkages between individual performance and organizational outcomes. This research contributes empirical evidence on SHRM effectiveness in public sector contexts and provides actionable recommendations for HR practitioners and policymakers seeking to leverage human capital for improved public service delivery.

This study aims to investigate the skill gaps experienced by bachelor’s degree graduates in Indonesia when facing the dual demands of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. The method applied in this research is a systematic literature review, synthesizing findings from 21 scientific articles focusing on the dynamics of skill gaps and the effectiveness of higher education interventions in Indonesia. The study findings reveal two main categories of competency gaps. In the context of Industry 4.0, the most significant deficiencies are observed in specific hard skills, particularly data literacy, artificial intelligence proficiency, and automation across various sectors. Meanwhile, within the Society 5.0 dimension, deeper gaps emerge in soft skills and human-centered competencies, including complex problem-solving, emotional intelligence, creativity, and environmentally sustainable skills. These human-centered skill gaps play a critical role in enhancing graduate value as AI technologies increasingly replace routine tasks. Although the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka program shows positive outcomes in improving sustainability skills and digital certification, it has not fully succeeded in driving fundamental transformation of higher education learning outcomes, limiting alignment with sustainability principles and the Society 5.0 approach. It can be concluded that Indonesian higher education faces the challenge of undertaking fundamental curriculum reform to integrate human-centered competencies as a foundation for preparing future human resources.

In the Independent Curriculum implemented in schools starting the 2024/2025 academic year, there are Learning Outcomes (CP) that read "Students are able to modify/deconstruct literary works for creative economic purposes" and "Students are able to translate one text into another for creative economic purposes". In reality, in schools, there are still few teachers who connect literary works with economic issues, many teachers are still unfamiliar with the concept of translation, not many teachers have participated in translation training, and there is no guidebook for translating literary texts into non-literary texts or vice versa. This also applies to high school Indonesian Language teachers in Rembang Regency. Combining these two Learning Outcomes and connecting them to conditions in society, this community service conducted training on translating literary works into advertising texts for high school Indonesian Language teachers in Rembang Regency. The training was carried out with the first stage providing material on translation and advertising and the second stage providing mentoring to teachers to practice translating literary works into advertising.

This study examines the implementation of Indonesian Language learning in higher education as a foundation for developing students’ academic literacy within an Outcome Based Education (OBE) framework. The research is motivated by serious concerns regarding students’ low academic writing ability, weak critical reading skills, and inconsistent use of academic language, which hinder the formation of academic culture at universities. The objective of this study is to describe and interpret the learning process, challenges, and outcomes of Indonesian Language courses in fostering academic literacy. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach conducted intensively over a three-week period. Data were collected through classroom observations, in depth interviews with lecturers and students, and document analysis of lesson plans, teaching materials, and students’ academic assignments. The findings reveal that although the course design conceptually aligns with OBE principles, its classroom implementation has not fully emphasized reflective processes, critical engagement, and consistent academic language practice. Learning activities tend to focus on task completion rather than on the development of academic thinking processes. The study implies that Indonesian Language learning should be strengthened through reflective, contextual, and process oriented strategies to enhance students’ academic literacy and academic identity. These findings contribute theoretically to studies on academic literacy and practically to the improvement of Indonesian Language instruction in higher education.

The development of academic writing skills among university students remains a serious challenge in higher education, particularly in Indonesian language courses that are often perceived as theoretical and procedural. This study aims to reconstruct Indonesian language learning through an Outcome Based Education (OBE) approach to strengthen students’ scientific writing skills at Universitas Muhammadiyah Maumere. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with students and lecturers over a three-week period. The findings reveal that OBE based learning encourages clearer learning objectives, increases students’ awareness of academic writing standards, and fosters reflective and critical writing practices. Students demonstrated improved understanding of scientific text structures, argument development, and academic language conventions. Furthermore, the learning process shifted from teacher centered instruction to a more participatory and student oriented model, allowing students to actively construct knowledge through observation, discussion, and writing practice. The study also highlights that the integration of contextual learning and continuous feedback plays a crucial role in enhancing students’ confidence and motivation in academic writing. These findings imply that OBE based Indonesian language instruction can serve as an effective pedagogical strategy to cultivate academic literacy, critical thinking, and responsible scholarly attitudes among university students. The study recommends broader implementation of OBE principles in language education to support sustainable improvement in higher education learning outcomes.

This research is motivated by the use of conventional learning models that still dominate Indonesian language learning at the high school level, causing learning to become monotonous and less actively involving students. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing the Quizizz-based Game Based Learning (GBL) model in improving learning outcomes, motivation, and participation of grade XII Social Science students at SMA BIMA Ambulu. The research method used is quantitative experimental with a one-group design (one-group pretest-posttest design). Research subjects consisted of 70 students divided into two classes, namely XII IPS 2 and XII IPS 5, with 35 students each. Data were collected through tests (pretest and posttest), learning motivation questionnaires using a 5-level Likert scale, student activity observation sheets, and documentation of learning activities. Research instruments have been tested for validity using Pearson Product Moment correlation and reliability using Cronbach's Alpha. Data analysis included validity tests, reliability tests, normality tests, and hypothesis testing using Independent Sample t-Test. The research results show that all test items are declared valid (r calculated > r table 0.334) and the instrument is reliable with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.812. The average N-Gain for class XII IPS 2 is 0.668 and class XII IPS 5 is 0.679, both in the medium-high category indicating the effectiveness of the GBL model. The t-test results show no significant difference between the two classes (mean difference 0.011), indicating consistency in the effectiveness of the GBL model in both groups. This study concludes that the Quizizz-based Game Based Learning model is proven effective in improving Indonesian language learning outcomes for grade XII Social Science students at SMA BIMA Ambulu. The implementation of GBL creates more interactive, enjoyable, healthy competitive learning, and is able to increase motivation and active student participation in learning.

This study examines deep learning as an educational approach within the Indonesian education system by exploring its conceptual foundations, policy frameworks, and practical implementation. The background of the study arises from ongoing challenges in Indonesian classrooms, where teacher-centered instruction and surface learning practices remain dominant, limiting students’ critical thinking, engagement, and real-world application of knowledge. The study aims to analyze how deep learning, characterized by mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning, is conceptualized in educational theory, reflected in national education policies, and implemented in classroom practices. Using a qualitative literature review method, data were collected from peer-reviewed national and international journal articles, academic books, and research reports related to deep learning in education. The data were analyzed through thematic synthesis to identify patterns concerning implementation strategies, learning outcomes, and implementation challenges. The findings indicate that deep learning contributes positively to students’ cognitive development, motivation, engagement, and 21st-century skills, particularly critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. However, its implementation in Indonesia faces several obstacles, including limited teacher competence, inadequate assessment systems, insufficient contextual learning materials, and unequal technological infrastructure. The study concludes that successful deep learning implementation requires integrated policy support, continuous teacher professional development, contextualized curriculum design, and equitable access to learning resources. These findings provide practical implications for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers in strengthening sustainable and humanistic education in Indonesia.
