Analysis of Students' Mathematical Concept Understanding Ability in Multiplication Calculation Operation Material
type: item
description: This study aims to investigate fourth-grade students’ understanding of mathematical concepts in solving multiplication problems. A qualitative descriptive method was used, involving 28 elementary school students in Bandung, Indonesia. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data collection, reduction, display, and conclusion techniques. The test instrument consisted of three descriptive questions with indicators of restating ideas, representing concepts mathematically, and applying algorithmic concepts in problem-solving. An unstructured interview was also conducted to identify students’ learning challenges. The results showed that 64% of students could restate a concept, 68% could represent concepts mathematically, and only 18% could apply algorithmic concepts to solve problems. Overall, students’ comprehension of mathematical concepts in multiplication procedures was relatively low, with an average achievement of 50%. Factors contributing to this low understanding include lack of attention, inconsistent study habits, and unengaging teaching methods. These findings highlight the need for more effective instructional strategies that emphasize conceptual understanding, student engagement, and consistent learning habits to improve students’ ability to apply mathematical principles in problem-solving

Local Wisdom-Based Cultural Conservation as an Effort to Preserve and Develop Tourism Villages Through Traditional Music Training in Sukaharja Village, Sukamakmur District, Bogor, West Java
type: item
description: Sukaharja Tourism Village, located in Sukamakmur District, Bogor Regency, West Java, is a village with significant potential being developed through a community-based tourism concept to achieve sustainability. This village leverages its natural, cultural, and social assets through an educational tourism model based on local wisdom, including agriculture, animal husbandry, culinary arts, and nature tourism. However, the arts sector, specifically degung music (a traditional Sundanese orchestra), has not been optimally utilized to support the village's promotion and development. Although a full set of degung gamelan instruments is available at the village hall, its use in promotional events remains minimal. Observing this situation, the researcher is motivated to conduct a culture conservation initiative based on local content, focusing on the development of the traditional degung art. The goal is to preserve this Sundanese cultural heritage while simultaneously supporting the tourism village's growth. Through traditional music training, this effort aims to maximize degung art’s potential as a tourist attraction that boosts the local economy, preserving culture while contributing to Sukaharja Village’s welfare through sustainable tourism.

AI-Supported Teacher Training for Ecological Thinking in STEM-Based Character Education: A Case Study of Early and Primary Islamic Schools in East Nusa Tenggara
type: item
description: This study aims to strengthen both teachers’ and students’ ecological awareness and moral sensitivity through Artificial Intelligence (AI)-supported professional development in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) based character education. Using an action research approach, the program involved 130 teachers from early and primary Islamic schools in East Nusa Tenggara who were trained to design lesson plans and develop digital learning media integrating ecological thinking and sustainability values. Data were collected from lesson plan analyses, reflective journals, and teacher evaluations. Quantitative results indicate a 41% increase in teachers’ efficiency in lesson planning and a 63% improvement in creativity when applying AI tools. Qualitative findings revealed that classroom practices designed after the training promoted stronger environmental care, empathy, and social responsibility among students. Teachers noted that AI applications simplified idea generation and documentation processes, allowing more focus on student-centered learning and value integration. These findings suggest that AI serves not only as a technological support but also as a reflective partner in promoting character-oriented and environmentally responsible pedagogy. The study concludes that AI-assisted teacher training offers a practical model for implementing eco STEM learning that enhances sustainable character development and ecological literacy among students in Islamic education.

The Effectiveness of Local Wisdom-Based Instructional Model in Enhancing Students’ Moral Self-Efficacy: A Case Study of Talang Mamak Values
type: item
description: This study aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an instructional model integrating the local wisdom of Talang Mamak to enhance the moral and ethical self-efficacy of high school students. Mtilizing a rigorous sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the research initiated with a quantitative quasi-experimental one-group pre-test/post-test approach (N=30), followed by a qualitative phase involving thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and key Talang Mamak figures. The model implementation demonstrated a statistically significant increase in students’ Moral Self-Efficacy scores, evidenced by the t-test results improving from a Pre-Test mean of 61.81 to a Post-Test mean of 85.70 (p = 0.000; Cohen's d of 1.95), indicating a large effect size. This high effectiveness affirms the necessity of contextual teaching and learning in character formation. However, inconsistencies in the value of honesty among subjects necessitate a critical theoretical expansion. The findings propose a reformulation of the highest moral stage to include a communal-transcendental ethical Stage to better reflect the collective, spiritual dimensions of indigenous Indonesian ethics. The Talang Mamak PjBL model is a validated, high-impact blueprint for character education. It offers a significant empirical and theoretical contribution by providing a contextually grounded and statistically confirmed and thereby strengthening national character through cultural preservation.

The Role of Islamic Education in Shaping Children's Character Towards the Golden Generation 2045
type: item
description: Education is a critical process for forming individuals who are not only intellectually capable and possess scientific and philosophical thinking abilities, but also capable of developing human and spiritual character. Islamic education is one vital component that helps shape this character. This writing aims to review and consider the important role of Islamic education in building character in children to realize Golden Indonesia 2045, a national vision to create a superior generation strong in character, high in morals, and capable of critical and creative thinking. This vision coincides with Indonesia's predicted demographic bonus in 2045, which the United Nations (2015) suggests will lead to a trend of very fast economic growth. Using a library research methodology, involving the exploration of various journals, books, and documents, the study highlights that Islamic education teaches children to be humble, patient, and kind-hearted, drawing examples from the high morals of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Through the moral and ethical concepts embedded in Islamic education, it is hoped that the golden generation of 2045 will develop into individuals with strong character, integrity, and a commitment to goodness. They will then be able to contribute positively to society, drive positive change, and become future leaders for a better Indonesia by achieving three components of good character: moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action.

Playful Learning: Developing Daily Life Skills in Early Childhood
type: item
description: The purpose of this study was to find out that playing while learning can develop children's daily life skills. The research method used is a systematic literature review. Based on the results of research conducted, Playful-learning is a learning method that is appropriate to the characteristics of children and is able to develop children's life skills through fun activities so that learning will feel more meaningful. Playing together is a world that cannot be separated from early childhood life. So that learning activities often adopt learning methods that are closely related to playing methods. However, it is often found that learning and playing activities are two separate things. It seems as if children cannot develop aspects of their development through play activities alone. Therefore, to create a suitable learning environment for children, it is necessary to integrate the two through the Playful-Learning method. Learning for children is not only enough from an academic point of view, but also must pay attention to aspects of life skills to make it easier for them to live in the future.

Analysis of the Achievement of Fourth Grade Students at SDN 029 Cilengkrang in Solving Multiplication Problems
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze elementary school students' ability to solve multiplication problems and identify the types of errors they make. The research subjects consisted of 25 fourth-grade students from SDN 029 Cilengkrang. The research method used is a case study with the instrument being a written test containing five contextual questions, but the detailed analysis is focused on question number 3. The research results show that 28% of students are in the high ability category, 48% are in the medium category, and 24% are in the low category. The most common errors made by students with moderate and low abilities include errors in modeling word problems, calculation procedure errors, and errors in transforming verbal sentences into mathematical model form. These findings indicate that high-ability students are capable of understanding multiplication concepts and procedures, while some students are still focused on memorizing multiplication results and have not fully grasped their conceptual meaning. Therefore, learning should focus on strengthening the understanding of multiplication concepts thru contextual activities and visual representations to improve students' overall conceptual and procedural abilities.

Creation of Pentatonic Etude 1 as Teaching Material Development for Solfeggio Course
type: item
description: Solfeggio is one of the basic subjects that must be mastered by students enrolled in music education programs. Through solfeggio courses, students are equipped with basic competencies in the form of the ability to hear, feel, play, read, and write both melodic and rhythmic notation. Over the past three years, students' abilities have declined. The most drastic decline occurred among the class of 2022, resulting in many students failing the solfeggio course. Some students struggled to keep up with the material presented. This problem prompted researchers to develop teaching materials by creating pentatonic etude 1 because the materials taught so far have been limited to the use of diatonic scales. The creation of works used as teaching materials is very important to help overcome students' difficulties in learning solfeggio. The research was conducted in several stages, including situation analysis, data collection, artistic work, work testing, and application of the work into lecture teaching materials. The research method used was practice-led research. The results of the study show that pentatonic etude 1 is a development of teaching materials for solfeggio courses that can help students master the pentatonic scale.
