Effective learning methods are those that efficiently achieve educational goals while considering learners’ characteristics. Singing emerges as a highly favored approach among children due to its lively and joyful nature, fostering active participation. Learning outcomes, a result of the interplay between teaching and learning activities, are elucidated through the understanding of “results” and “learning.” “Results” signify the functional changes resulting from an activity, while “learning” represents an individual’s efforts to undergo behavioral change. Learning is a directed process aimed at achieving predetermined competencies, involving activities such as observing, creating, problem-solving, listening, and practicing. The culmination of these activities defines the acquired abilities of students after the learning process. Singing, as a method, exemplifies its effectiveness through its ability to create a positive and dynamic learning environment, engaging children in a participatory and enjoyable manner.

This study aims to describe the results of research on learning community strategies in improving students' critical thinking skills. The method used is a literature study that collects several previous studies to answer critical thinking, learning communities, and the influence of learning community methods in improving students' critical thinking skills. Critical thinking is a person's ability to reflect, re-examine, and modify existing thoughts. Learning community is interaction between students and students and students with teachers interactively. Previous research has mentioned that learning communities can make students interactive in learning. Based on the literature review conducted, it can be concluded that the learning community has a significant role in improving students' critical thinking skills.

This study aims to understand the perspectives of parents and teachers regarding their roles in preventing bullying, as well as to identify the strategies they use in collaboration. This research uses qualitative methods to explore the relationship between parents and teachers in preventing bullying cases in elementary schools. The role of parents and teachers is very important to prevent bullying. Therefore, parents and teachers should have a similar understanding of the importance of cooperation or collaboration in preventing bullying. Parents and teachers should also realize that the responsibility of preventing and overcoming bullying does not lie solely with one party, but requires close cooperation.

This research was motivated by the lack of educator innovation in developing interactive teaching materials. This can be seen from various phenomena of student saturation related to learning that tends to be boring. The purpose of this study is so that researchers or readers can find out one of the learning innovations that can be used by educators, namely the development of LKPD teaching materials based on Liveworksheet software. The research method used is the Research and Development (R & D) research method with its development model, namely ADDIE (Analyziz, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). At the validation stage, the LKPD was validated by 3 validators, namely 1 material expert validator, 1 linguist validator and 1 design expert validator. The results showed that the development of LKPD teaching materials based on Liveworksheet Software is feasible to be used in learning. This is evidenced by the average V results obtained from material expert validation which is 0.92, linguist validation is 0.75, and design expert validation is 0.96. With the conclusion that LKPD based on Liveworksheet Software is feasible and effective to be used in the learning process in Phase B PPKn Material in MI / SD.

This study aims to describe the process of using virtue tree media in increasing students' understanding of class 1 MI Nurul Ulum Bojonegoro material. This study aims to determine the effect of virtue tree media on understanding PPKn material and the differences in the results of using virtue tree media on class 1 students' understanding of MI Nurul Ulum Bojonegoro.

This study aims to investigate the impact of gamification-based learning media in the learning process at MIS Terpadu Al-Azhfar North Gorontalo, focusing on student motivation and learning outcomes. This type of research is descriptive qualitative to gain an in-depth understanding of the use of gamification-based learning media by teachers at MIS Terpadu Al-Azhfar North Gorontalo. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen that the teachers of MIS Terpadu Al-Azhfar North Gorontalo have yet to maximize the use of gamification-based learning media, so learning is less fun and ineffective, students seem inactive in the learning process There is no two-way communication between teachers and students. In addition, there is no teacher creativity in making the class more fun, and teacher mastery of the class could be better, resulting in a lack of student interest to focus on learning in the classroom. A trial of the use of Gamification-based learning media in the learning process at the Integrated MIS Terpadu Al-Azhfar shows that the use of gamification-based learning media positively impacts learning motivation and student engagement. Teachers who integrate game elements in learning successfully create an engaging and dynamic learning environment. Students show greater interest in education and are more eager to participate in learning activities. Student academic outcomes also improved, with an improved understanding of concepts and critical thinking skills.

This research is motivated by the level of critical thinking abilities of students in class V science subjects at SD N 2 Rejosari which are still considered less critical. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning model using Kokami media on students' critical thinking abilities. The research was carried out at SD N 2 Rejosari, Kab. Central Lampung. The type of experimental research used in this research is Quasi Experimental Design. The data collection technique used a quantitative approach by giving questions to 26 class VA students and 19 class VB students. The results of this research indicate that there is an influence of the TGT learning model on critical thinking skills in science subjects. This is proven in hypothesis testing using paired samples t-test data analysis.  Based on the results of  data analysis, a significance level (sig) < 0.05 was obtained, namely 0.014 < 0.05, which indicates that H0 was rejected and HI was accepted in this study. This means that learning using the TGT learning model has an effect on the critical thinking abilities of class V students at SD Negeri 2 Rejosari Kab. Central Lampung where there are significant differences between the experimental class and the control class.

The main objective of this research is to find out how to play the listen-repeat-say game and how it affects students’ mastery of Javanese language skills.

(2-tailed) 0.000 <0.05. 3) Designing and describing the implementation of the listen-repeat-say game applied to Javanese.

This research describes the supporting and obstacle factors in implementing the Jigsaw method in social studies learning for grade V elementary schools. The type of research used is a case study with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques are interviews, observation and documentation. The Miles and Huberman model data analysis technique which includes data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results of the research show that the supporting factors are the fulfillment of school facilities and infrastructure, as well as the active role of the school, both by teachers and school principals through programs that are able to increase teacher competence in relation to learning at school and the inhibiting factor is the Jigsaw method which requires time old and smart students tend not to want to be put together. The application of the Jigsaw method in class V social studies learning in elementary schools begins with the preparation of learning tools such as lesson plans. The implementation process carried out by the teacher in learning includes initial or opening activities, core activities and final activities. The initial activities were carried out by the teacher by providing motivation and apperception. In the core activity, the teacher implements the Jigsaw method through the steps that have been prepared. In the final activity, the teacher provides a conclusion. The evaluation process is carried out through written tests. The results show effectiveness in the learning process and are able to improve learning outcomes for students.
