Dalits are unable to enjoy their rights under the Indian Constitution. Though they are original residents of India, they are still treated as untouchables. This article sheds light on how discrimination at the primary school level in the mid-day meal (MDM) scheme is reinforcing the caste system. The school is supposed to be a prime site of democratic institution where the child could have a non-discriminative environment. But the MDMs cooked by Dalit cooks are not eaten by children of upper castes and tribes, thus grossly contradicting such claims. The study is based on primary as well as secondary sources. It shows that children from an early age are moulded into perpetuating the discriminatory mindset of the caste-ridden village society. This article is an attempt to analyse the violence against the Dalit cooks in the Bondaguda village.

Undeniably, the study focusing on akhlaq education is important to conduct, and one of the moral educations is gratitude. The purpose of this present study is to find out the meaning of gratitude based on the Qur'anic digital thematic study and its implications on akhlaq education in elementary school. This study employed a qualitative approach and digital Qur`anic thematic methods. Based on the results of the study, the terms gratitude were revealed in 43 verses of the Quran (Arabic) and 68 verses of the Quran (Indonesian Translation). The meaning of gratitude based on the Qur`anic digital thematic study of the Quran is considered as the value of the core character. Gratitude is commanded for humans who have been given the favor of faith and Islam, have been following the Messenger of Allah Salla Allah ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam, have been granted good sustenance, have been obliged to carry out various types of worship, and they will be granted forgiveness of their sins if they repent. However, most people in fact denied the various favors granted to them. In the bottom line, as an implication, it is obvious that gratitude is highly important to be learned, understood, trained and put into practice from the early age. Inevitably, it can be realized through the existence of formal education institutions, especially primary school level.

This study offers the findings of the demographic data of madrasah diniyah takmiliyah (non-formal form of education, developed through community participation), especially about teachers and students in Bandung city, Indonesia, and give efforts to revitalize their institutional roles and functions. The study used a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to collect and analyze the data. The results showed that madrasah diniyah takmiliyahs in Bandung city are around 1,134 with 75,264 students and 6,292 teachers. The demographic data of madrasah diniyah takmiliyah in Bandung city is very significant when compared to sekolah dasar (formal education at the primary school level)/madrasah ibtidaiyah (formal education at the Islamic primary school level) in Bandung, which only amounted to 545 sekolah dasars/madrasah ibtidaiyahs with 231,174 students and 10,802 teachers. This research found that many parents interested to send their children to madrasah diniyah takmiliyah. Many potential madrasah diniyah takmiliyahs are not owned by other educational institutions.

An attempt is made to provide an interpretive framework for the findings of recent research on teaching at the primary-school level. A model of teaching/learning processes is outlined prior to an investigation of the empirical linkages between the elements of the model. Following this, the implications of the model for teaching skills are explored.

Understanding an English-medium science textbook is possibly challenging for some students. It is, for example, due to the language used. To deal with this issue, construing the use of the other mode, such as visual images, along with the verbal text is regarded useful. Thereby, the construal of multimodality in an English-medium science textbook becomes crucial. Albeit a myriad of inspections on multimodality exists, but to the best of the writer’s knowledge, such investigation with respect to an English-medium science textbook, particularly at a primary school level, was found to be limited. Therefore, this study aimed to scrutinize the verbal text and visual image presented in a science textbook used for a primary school level which is presented in English. To that end, a descriptive research design was employed. In this regard, a systemic functional multimodal discourse analysis (SF-MDA) within the trinocular metafunctions encompassing ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions was utilized. The systemic functional linguistics theory, the grammar of visual design, intersemiotic complementarity, and logico-semantics were the frameworks employed to analyze the artefact, the English-medium science textbook. The findings revealed that the visual image and verbal text interact with one another within the three metafunctions. Given the interaction between the two modes, the present study suggests that both teachers and students are required to take into considerations and be aware of the potential or roles of images along with the verbal text, i.e. the images are not merely accessories, but instead, these are able to assist the comprehension of the science materials learned.

The present paper poses essential questions: What knowledge should students attain and what methods should be applied? The authors started up from cognitivistic view of cognition related to: (a) organizing knowledge of science in the form of generalized ideas or major concepts that can be reduced to a large number of information items, and (b) manner of building up students? knowledge into meaningful units as matrices of interrelated concepts. Attention is directed to difficulties emerging in developing cognitive structures related to complex contents of science and methods of concept learning in the teaching process. The results of investigations show that students? mastery of concepts is poor, and the reasons are to be found in the abstract character of contents themselves, lack of ability to interrelate contents within one discipline and between cognate ones, and the absence of establishing relationships between scientific concepts in cognitive structure. An efficient method of presenting scientific concepts was given and explained at three levels, such as macro, micro and symbolic. A model was suggested as a possible method for netting concepts in chemistry at primary school level. Practical recommendations were given to teachers how to assess students? cognitive structure and how to apply appropriate methods.
