The number line and the neutralization model have been used very extensively in teaching integer additions and subtractions for decades. Despite their advantages, issues concerning subtractions on these models are still debatable. Therefore, the neutralization on an empty number line (NNL) model is proposed in this research to help students better understand the meaning of integer subtractions as well as additions. This report is a part of a design research study conducted in a classroom of 28 elementary school students at the fifth grade. Data were gathered by collecting students’ written work, conducting interviews and observations during the teaching experiment. This paper focuses on students’ perceptions of the NNL model and what factors that might contribute to students’ achievements in understanding integer additions and subtractions. The analysis revealed that most students overemphasized on the use of the NNL model as a procedural method instead of as a model for thinking. Moreover, students’ mathematical beliefs and conceptions on the use of the column strategy and the absence of a discussion on the need of using the model are found to be some factors that could cause students’ misunderstandings. However, with a thorough planning, the NNL model has a potential to help students developing a meaning of integer additions and subtractions.

The purpose of this study was to determine the improvement of the character of homeland love for elementary school students through the application of ethno-edutainment-based learning. This research is a pre-experimental study with one group pretest post test design research design. The sample used in this study was a fifth grade student of Muhammadiyah Kudus Elementary School with a purposive sampling technique. Data on students' love of homeland characters was obtainedusing student observation sheets and analyzed using normalized gain tests. The results showed that students' homeland love character scores after learning were higher, reaching 12.54 compared to before learning with a score of 6.36. The results of the normalized gain analysis show that the level of increase in the love character of the homeland students in the low category was 4.55%, the medium category was 40.91%, and the high category was 54.54%. Classically, the value of normalized gain g is 72% or 0.72, which means that the interpretation of the increasein the character of love for the country is high

The design and learning of STEM in elementary schools are still not widely used in learning in elementary schools. STEM learning is relevant to the 2013 curriculum, like the current. Thematic learning. Thus, it is necessary to develop a STEM learning design, using development based research, namely EDR (Educational Design Research). The goal is to produce STEM learning projects that have been designed in the form of lesson plans for fifth-grade elementary school students. The method used in this research is development based research, namely EDR (Educational Design Research) with data collection techniques including interviews, discussions, observations, document analysis or documentation studies, and questionnaires. The subjects in this study were fifth-grade elementary school students. This article presents the analysis and exploration results, which is the first stage in this research, covering initial orientation, literature study, field-based investigations, field visits, professional meetings, and networking. This study aims to confirm that STEM learning in the 2013 curriculum is very appropriate for supporting the fulfillment of 21st-century skills for elementary students. The products produced from the first stage are problem definition, long term goals, partial design requirements, and initial designs.Keywords: STEM Learning, 2013 Curriculum, 21st Century Skills====================================================================================================Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan desain pembelajaran STEM di Sekolah Dasar dengan menggunakan penelitian berbasis pengembangan yaitu EDR (Educational Design Research).

Thisstudyaims toimprove poetry writing skills with acrostic techniques in elementary school students. This research is descriptive qualitative. This type of research is a class action research (Class Action Research). The research carried out consisted of two cycles, each cycle being carried out three times.TheThe research procedure includes planning, implementing the action, observing and reflecting. The subjects in this study were 34 grade V elementary school students.After carrying out the research in the first cycle 21 of 34 students got a score of 72.35 who got a "low" qualification. After that, the second cycle of research was carried out, 33 students got an average score of 80 in the "High" qualification. Based on the results of the research in the first and second cycles it proves that the application of acrostic techniques in learning to write poetry in fifth grade elementary school students is very appropriate because the application of these techniques can improve student learning outcomes in writing poetry for the better.

The purpose of this study was to develop and test the effectiveness of the character education module based on the school literacy movement. This type of research uses Research and Development (RnD). The research subjects used were fifth grade elementary school students in the RA Kartini Cluster, Jaken District, Pati Regency. Data collection techniques by means of observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. The data was collected using observation sheets, interview sheets, photos of activities, and filling out questionnaires. Sources of data obtained from filling out questionnaires, observations, and responses from school principals, class teachers, subject teachers, students, and school committees on the implementation of the module. The resulting module is validated by material experts and module experts. Small group trials were conducted in fifth grade SDN Mojoluhur, Jaken District, Pati Regency.

<span>This research was motivated by limited self-regulated learning (SRL) in elementary school students. The aim of this research was to understand the increase in SRL of elementary school students apply the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach which was reviewed as a whole and based on Early Mathematical Ability (EMA) during the COVID-19. This study was applied with a quasi-experimental method through a nonequivalent control group. Determination of the sample through purposive sampling on fifth-grade elementary school students in Central Jakarta. The sample coincide of 27 students each for the CPA and the conventional class. Measurement through a scale of SRL. This research informs the students' SRL on CPA learning that is significantly better than SRL with conventional approach reviewed as a whole and in the medium EMA group., however, based on the high and low EMA groups, SRL students who received CPA learning were not significantly better than those with conventional learning.</span>
