2024-12-15T09:31:49+08:00

The phenomenon of bullying in elementary schools is an important issue that affects students' psychological and social development. This study aims to identify the forms of bullying in elementary schools and explore the role of character education in reducing bullying behaviour. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation involving six informants, namely three teachers, two students and one parent. The results showed that bullying that occurs in elementary schools is more often in the form of verbal and social bullying, with a significant impact on the victim's self-confidence and academic achievement. Character education that includes the values of empathy, tolerance and mutual respect is implemented in the school curriculum and extracurricular activities as a preventive effort. However, the implementation of character education is still faced with challenges, such as the mismatch between the values taught at school and the application at home. This study suggests that character education should be implemented consistently and involve cooperation between teachers, parents and the community to create a bullying-free environment.

2024-12-15T09:35:18+08:00

Empathy is an essential social skill in child development, especially in primary school. Developing empathy in children helps them manage better social relationships and builds a caring character towards others. While the main focus in primary education often lies on academic achievement, social-emotional development, including empathy, should receive more attention. Thematic learning integrates various subjects in one theme relevant to students' real lives and offers an effective approach to fostering empathy. This article uses the literature review to analyze relevant sources on strategies to develop empathy through thematic learning in primary schools. The researcher reviewed scientific articles, books, and journals that discuss the implementation of thematic learning, character development, and empathy in primary education. Based on this literature review, thematic learning can create space for students to understand and feel the feelings of others through collaboration, social interaction, and character values-based learning. This research also shows the importance of the teacher's role in designing and implementing thematic learning that involves social values, including empathy. Thus, thematic learning can improve students' academic achievement and develop the social-emotional skills needed to form a more harmonious and tolerant society.

Peningkatan Hasil Belajar Kognitif Calon Guru Menggunakan Strategi RQA (Reading, Questioning and Answering)

2024-12-15T08:54:34+08:00

This study aims to enhance students’ cognitive learning outcomes through the implementation of the Reading, Questioning, Answering (RQA) strategy. A Classroom Action Research approach was employed using the Kemmis and Taggart model, comprising two cycles. The research participants were students from the Biology Education Program at the University of Sulawesi Barat, enrolled in the Educational Profession course. Data on students’ cognitive learning outcomes were collected using test instruments in the form of multiple-choice and essay questions related to the course material. The findings revealed that in Cycle 1, the average N-gain score for students' cognitive learning outcomes was categorized as low. After refining the strategy in Cycle 2, the N-gain scores improved to a medium category. Improvements included providing key points as guidance during the Reading phase and utilizing a question framework based on Bloom’s taxonomy during the Questioning phase. The adjusted implementation of the RQA strategy significantly enhanced students’ understanding and learning outcomes compared to conventional teaching methods. This research demonstrates that the RQA strategy is not only effective in improving cognitive learning outcomes but also fosters active student engagement in the learning process. These findings suggest that incorporating activity-based learning strategies such as RQA can serve as an effective alternative to improve the quality of higher education instruction
