The moral crisis affecting today’s young generation in Indonesia has become a serious concern in the midst of globalization and digitalization. Traditional values are increasingly marginalized by the rise of instant gratification, hedonism, and individualism. This article explores the role of psychology in supporting the implementation of character education as a strategic solution to address this issue. Using a qualitative approach through literature review, the findings reveal that psychology plays a crucial role in shaping students’ character through understanding cognitive development, self-regulation, emotional intelligence, and experiential learning. However, challenges such as limited educator competence, weak collaboration between schools and families, and the negative influence of social media hinder the implementation process. Therefore, integrating psychological approaches with an adaptive education system is essential to foster a resilient and morally grounded generation.

This research aims to examine the impact of social media on the mindset of children at the elementary school level. The method applied is a literature review by analyzing journals, articles, and books relevant to the topic. The findings indicate that social media significantly affects children’s way of thinking, both in positive and negative ways. Positively, it can improve communication abilities and social interaction. However, when used without proper supervision, it may reduce self-confidence, trigger aggressive behavior, and hinder direct social interaction. This study is expected to enrich understanding of the influence of social media on children’s mindsets and serve as a reference for parents, teachers, and educators in formulating effective strategies to minimize potential negative impacts.

Learning interest is the tendency of students to engage in learning activities driven by the desire to achieve optimal results. However, the learning interest of fifth-grade students at MIS Nurul Yaqin remains low.

Learning is defined as the modification of behavior through experience, which includes changes in individual abilities. Teaching is an activity carried out by educators to transfer knowledge and skills to students, while learning is the interaction between educators and students in creating a conducive learning environment. This article discusses the definition, principles, and general procedures in learning, teaching, and learning. These principles include attention, motivation, activeness, direct involvement, repetition, reinforcement, and use of teaching materials. The learning procedure consists of introductory components, core activities, and closing. By understanding and applying these principles and procedures, it is hoped that the learning process can take place optimally and produce positive changes in students.
 
 

This study aims to improve the understanding of third grade elementary school students on time measurement material through the application of the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) learning model with board game media. The main problem in conventional learning is the low active involvement of students and the difficulty in understanding the concept of time concretely. This research is a Classroom Action Research (PTK) conducted in two cycles using the Kemmis and McTaggart model. The research subjects were 23 third grade students of SDN 1 Langon, Jepara. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, tests, and documentation. The results showed a significant increase in student understanding, which was marked by an increase in the average score from 65.3 in the pre-cycle to 85.3 in cycle I, as well as an increase in learning completeness from 40% to 68%. Students were more active in discussions, motivated, and able to explain the concept of time independently. The NHT and board game model creates a collaborative and fun learning atmosphere and supports students' cognitive, social and emotional development. These results prove that educational game-based learning strategies are effective in improving the understanding of abstract mathematical concepts, especially time measurement.
