The Implementation of the Inquiry-Based Learning Model in Improving Elementary School Students' Numeracy and Literacy Skills

Tiara Maharani Suroso, Agata Pritha Kinanditya

This study analyzes the effect of the inquiry-based learning model on elementary school students’ numeracy literacy skills. Using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design with 30 fifth-grade students, data were collected via essay-based tests. The results showed a significant increase in numeracy literacy, with the average score rising from 59.77 on the pretest to 82.53 on the posttest. Statistical validation through a paired-samples t-test yielded a t-value of -145.275 (p < 0.05), confirming that the improvement was not due to random chance. Furthermore, an N-Gain analysis of 0.788 indicates a high level of improvement. Deeper analysis using the Pearson product–moment correlation revealed a very strong positive relationship of 0.991 (p = 0.000) between pretest and posttest scores. This demonstrates that student progress was highly consistent across the group, meaning the intervention effectively benefited both high- and low-achieving students similarly. These findings suggest that inquiry-based learning effectively enhances numeracy literacy by encouraging active involvement and contextual problem-solving.

Exploring Multidimensional Relationships between Educational Situation Perception, Teacher Support, Digital Learning Engagement, and Academic Self-Efficacy in Elementary School

Dita Amelia Putri, Muhammad Alie Muzakki

This study examines the structural relationships among students’ perceptions of the learning environment, perceived teacher support, academic self-efficacy, and students’ engagement in digital learning in elementary school digital learning contexts. A quantitative survey approach was employed, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that academic self-efficacy significantly predicts students’ participation in digital learning activities. Teacher support significantly contributes to strengthening academic self-efficacy and indirectly influences digital learning engagement through the improvement of students’ academic confidence. In contrast, educational situation perception does not show a significant direct relationship with either academic self-efficacy or digital learning engagement. The sequential mediation pathway involving teacher support and academic self-efficacy is statistically confirmed. The model demonstrates satisfactory explanatory power and predictive relevance. The results suggest that psychologically driven factors supported by effective pedagogical practices play a more central role in fostering students’ digital engagement than contextual perceptions operating independently. These findings highlight the mediating role of academic self-efficacy within the multidimensional framework tested in this study.

Tria Fitriana, nanda amelia, rahma eka

AbstractThis qualitative descriptive study aims to analyze the forms, impacts, and underlying factors of bullying behavior at Public Elementary School 064965. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 students (both victims and perpetrators), 5 teachers, and 2 school counselors, supplemented by observation during recess and in classrooms. The findings reveal that verbal bullying (mockery, insults) and social exclusion are the most prevalent forms, occurring frequently in unsupervised areas such as bathrooms and the schoolyard. The psychological impact on victims includes decreased academic motivation, anxiety, and reluctance to attend school. Analysis indicates that contributing factors stem from a confluence of the school environment (lack of supervision, inadequate conflict resolution mechanisms), family background (exposure to aggressive behavior at home), and individual tendencies (desire for dominance, peer pressure). This study concludes that bullying at SD Negeri 064965 is a systemic issue requiring a comprehensive intervention. Recommendations include implementing a whole-school anti-bullying policy, establishing a peer mediation program, and conducting regular psychosocial training for teachers and parents to foster a safer and more inclusive school climate.
