This study aims to analyze the impact of Distance Learning (PJJ) on the learning outcomes of elementary school students during the COVID-19 pandemic. In its implementation, PJJ presents various challenges, including decreased learning outcomes (learning loss), lack of student involvement, low concentration, and limited learning facilities. Inhibiting factors such as access to technology, minimal parental guidance, and lack of motivation for independent learning also worsen the condition. However, various strategies have been implemented by teachers and parents to overcome these obstacles, ranging from variations in learning methods, strengthening communication, to creating a conducive learning environment. The results of the analysis show that collaboration between teachers and parents is very important in maintaining the quality of learning. This study also found a significant difference between learning outcomes before and during PJJ, where face-to-face learning tends to provide better results. This study recommends the need to strengthen educational infrastructure and increase the digital capacity of all elements of education as an effort to face similar challenges in the future.
 

Technological developments and changes in the global world are driving rapid transformation in various aspects.The education system needs to undergo fundamental changes to prepare the next generation to face the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. A new curriculum needs to be designed to teach students the essential skills of this century, such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and understanding digital literacy. The conventional curriculum model that focuses on mastering factual knowledge and basic skills is no longer sufficient.In order to change education, all aspects of the education ecosystem must be evaluated comprehensively, including the government, educational institutions, teachers, parents, and society as a whole. The curriculum must be updated to support project-based learning methods, cross-disciplinary research, and an emphasis on developing 21st century skills. In addition, the way of teaching must shift from a teacher-dominated approach to a student-focused approach, with the help of digital technology.

This study was motivated by students' understanding of writing and completing letters and words at the early stages of learning to write. The aim is to improve students' understanding of how to write productively and descriptively. Data were collected through observation, practice questions, and documentation with a qualitative case study approach. The results showed that students were able to write loose letters, distinguish similar letters (b, d, p, q), and complete missing letters and words in the context of words and sentences.

This study analyzes the implementation of the Holistic Integrative Early Childhood Education (PAUD) policy in Surabaya as a strategic step to improve the quality and equity of PAUD services through intersectoral collaboration. Recognizing the significance of integrating education, health, nutrition, and child protection services, this study aims to analyze implementation strategies, challenges, and local innovations in providing holistic services in PAUD institutions in urban areas. This study applies a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data through policy document analysis, semi-structured interviews with PAUD administrators, teachers, local officials, and parent representatives, and direct observation at several PAUD institutions. The research findings indicate that policy implementation is carried out through structured socialization, the formation of intersectoral coordination teams, and the provision of additional services such as routine health checks and parenting classes. However, challenges remain, such as uneven facilities and infrastructure among PAUD institutions, differences in teachers' understanding of the holistic integrative concept, and a lack of practical collaboration between PAUD institutions and health or child protection agencies. The study also identified local innovations, such as the use of social media to communicate with parents, enriching teaching materials with local cultural insights, and collaborating with universities to support activities. These findings emphasize that successful policy implementation depends not only on national regulations but also on local leadership skills, stakeholder collaboration, and responsiveness to community needs. Therefore, the study recommends improving ongoing training for educators, providing an adaptive policy framework to support local innovation, and developing digital infrastructure to facilitate more efficient communication and coordination.

This study aims to (1) Describe the application of gamification-based cooperative learning models in mathematics subjects in the counting ability of grade I students. (2) To determine the students' counting ability after using gamification-based cooperative learning model in mathematics subject in grade I. (3) To find out whether there is an increase in counting ability after using a gamification-based cooperative learning model in mathematics subjects in grade I. This research used PTK which was carried out in two cycles. Each cycle includes 4 stages, namely planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The subjects of this research were students of class I B MIN 2 Kota Palangka Raya with a total of 37 students. The results showed (1) In cycle I, the analysis of teacher activity obtained a percentage of 92.70% with very good criteria, there was an increase in cycle II with a percentage of 98.80% with very good criteria. While student activity in cycle I obtained a percentage of 88.54% with very good criteria and an increase in cycle II with a percentage of 97.61% with very good criteria. (2) The increase in learning ability seen from the posttest results is evident from the increase in posttest scores in each cycle. In cycle I, the classical completeness was 56.75% to 86.48% in cycle II. (3) The increase in student learning outcomes using a gamification-based cooperative learning model to improve students' numeracy skills towards improving learning outcomes in cycle I the percentage of student completeness reached 56.75% while in cycle II it increased by 86.52%. In Cycle I N-Gain got a medium category by obtaining a value of 0.377 with the N-Gain score division category 0.3?g?0.7. Whereas in cycle II it got a high category of 0.755 with the N-Gain division category score g> 0.7.

This research was conducted to examine in depth what are the main differences between the Learning Outcomes (CP) and Learning Objectives (TP) in the Merdeka Curriculum compared to the Core Competencies (KI) and Basic Competencies (KD) in the 2013 Curriculum. The main focus is on how this affects the development and implementation of mathematics teaching modules in phase E, especially in SMA Negeri 16 Padang. The research method used was qualitative research involving direct observation at the school, conducting in-depth interviews, and reviewing documents related to various teaching modules. From the analysis, it can be seen that the structure of CP and TP is more integrative, contextual, and flexible compared to the structure of KI and KD which tend to be separate and procedural in nature. In addition, teaching modules based on Merdeka Curriculum encourage the development of the Pancasila Student Profile and 21st century competencies. This conclusion has a major influence on curriculum development and learning designs that are more adaptive to student needs and the times.
