The purpose of this study was to improve students' learning outcomes in the Indonesian language subject through the application of the Student Facilitator and Explaining model on the One Point material. The factors underlying this study were learning problems experienced by students such as low Indonesian language learning outcomes below the KKTP standard. The research approach used was classroom action research conducted in 2 cycles where each cycle was carried out in 2 meetings. The results of the study showed that there was an increase in student learning outcomes as seen from the tests obtained from cycle I and cycle II. The results of the cycle I evaluation test with a percentage of learning outcomes of 50% and increased in cycle II with a percentage of learning outcomes of 88%. Based on the results of the evaluation of cycles I and II and the reflections that have been carried out, it can be concluded that by implementing the student facilitator and explaining learning model in the Indonesian language subject of class IV A SD Aisyiyah Muhammadiyah 3 Makassar, it can improve student learning outcomes.

This study aims to examine the perceptions of students in the Elementary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar regarding reading instructional strategies implemented in elementary schools. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The respondents of this study were 32 PGSD students currently enrolled in the reading instruction course. The findings reveal that the majority of students have a positive perception of the various reading instructional strategies taught during the course. They believe that the use of diverse strategies grounded in constructivist theory, such as meaning-based word comprehension strategies and the use of interactive media, is highly effective in enhancing elementary students' reading skills. This research makes a significant contribution to the development of more relevant and effective reading instructional strategies in elementary schools and serves as a reference for teaching practices at the university level.

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of elementary school teacher education (PGSD) students at Muhammadiyah Makassar University which took place over seven weeks from November to December 2024.

Based on the results of this study conducted by researchers, it can be concluded that the experience of 5th semester students of elementary teacher education is quite satisfactory even though there are several obstacles they experienced when taking the results of the test sheets conducted by researchers.
 

This article discusses improving speaking skills in undergraduate PGSD students at Muhammadiyah University of Makassar (Unismuh Makassar), especially in Advanced Indonesian Language Learning courses. This research aims to identify the challenges faced by students in improving their speaking skills and propose solutions that can be applied in the learning process. The method used is qualitative research with a case study approach, which involves observation, interviews and document analysis. The research results show that the main challenges faced by students are lack of self-confidence, limited vocabulary, and the inability to organize arguments systematically. The proposed solutions include the application of effective communication techniques, the use of technology-based learning media, and the habit of speaking in public to increase self-confidence. It is hoped that this research can make a positive contribution to the development of speaking skills of PGSD students at Unismuh Makassar, as well as becoming a reference for teaching Indonesian in tertiary institutions.

This research aims to determine the significant effect of implementing the VCT learning model on the speaking skills of class IV students at SD Inpres Talakauwe, West Bajeng District, Gowa Regency. The type of research used in this research is pre-experimental and is a quantitative type of research. The sample in this study was 25 students.
