The study used aqualitative method through a case study approach. Sources of data were taken from twelve informantsconsisting of the principal, classroom teacher, a teacher of Islamic education, art teacher andsports teacher selected from four elementary schools using purposive technique. Data were takenthrough in-depth interviews (depth interview) to all informants. The results showed that there areeight important themes on the pattern of implementation of effective character education conductedon students in four schools. Eight themes are carried through: (1) the learning materials; (2) the schoolrules (discipline, care for the environment, responsibility); (3) competition between students of science(creative, fond of reading, curiosity); (4) awards outstanding students (respect, hard work, democratic,caring); (5) commemoration day of nationality (the national spirit, love of the homeland, respect, care);(6) the practice of worship and spiritual guidance (honest, religious, responsibility); (7) scouting(creative, social care, hard working, honest, friendly, peace-loving democratic); (8) their talents andmusic classes (creative and work hard, respect).Keywords: pattern, character education, primary school students

Digital Era

This study discusses the strategy of meeting the needs of information on primary school students in the digital age. The purpose of this study is to identify the strategy to fulfil the information needs of primary school students in the digital era today. This research uses a qualitative approach with case study method. Data collection was done by interview and document analysis. The results of this study indicate that the strategy of fulfilling the information needs of the students of SDN Bendungan Hilir 12 are first through the printed book and then if the printed book does not meet the needs of the information then the students use the internet as a medium in finding information to meet the information needs. Also, when students get information over the internet, to verify the truth of the information, they ask the nearest person who is trusted by the student.

AbstractAll human being’s ways of living, working and studying were significantly impacted by the Covid-19 in 2020. In China, the Ministry of Education reacted fast in ensuring that primary school students could learn online at home by promoting the Sky Class program from February 2020. Educators, parents, and students all faced the challenges of adapting to new online teaching and learning environments. In this small-scale case study, Sky Class’s content and the participants’ experiences, will be presented. Four primary school teachers and five primary school students and their parents participated in three-rounds of interviews sharing their perspectives and experiences of online learning. The study showed that the students gained more parental support and that they benefited from using multimedia functions, like replay, in their Sky Classes. However, the majority of participants reported that the students learnt less. By mapping the learning activities and themes from Sky Class against Cope and Kalantzis’ e-learning ecologies, our study found that only ubiquitous learning and multimodal meaning were achieved. We suggest the reason may be that high cognitive learning was not achieved due to less teachers’ supervision, lack of interaction, delayed feedback, shorter learning times and communication. In conclusion, innovative pedagogies, which can foster different types of learning from the e-learning ecologies may overcome the negative aspects reported about Sky Class. Further research is required for implementing online technology as a catalyst for educational change.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the forms of representation constructed by primary school students in solving mathematical problems. Representation is the basis or foundation of how a student could understand and use mathematical ideas. The forms of representation, such as charts, graphs, and symbols, are essentially a long process of learning mathematics, but unfortunately these representations are often thought of and studied in its final form. Actually, representations should be given as support in the process of understanding concepts, the associations of mathematics, mathematical communication, constructing arguments, and apply mathematical concepts in everyday life through modeling. This research showed that the forms of representation constructed by the students are extremely varied. They are constructed in tables, images, patterns, and in the formal forms of mathematics (the formula). This study was also revealed that some students are able to develop forms of representation using logical mathematical processes. Students begin to formulate a representation using known premise, set the table, make conjecture, and subsequently arrange a formal representation.Keywords: mathematic representation, tables, charts, graphs, statements.

Positive Engagement

The Indigenous Sky Stories Program may have the potential to deliver significant and long-lasting changes to the way science is taught to Year 5 and 6 primary school students. The context for this article is informed by research that shows that educational outcomes can be strengthened when Indigenous knowledge is given the space to co-exist with the hegemony of current western science concepts. This research presents a case study of one primary school involved in the Indigenous Sky Stories Program. It showcases how teachers and students worked in conjunction with their local community to implement the program. The results suggest that introducing cultural sky stories into the science program, engaged and primed Year 5 and 6 students to seek out additional sky stories and to investigate the astronomical content mapped to the National Science Curriculum. The involvement of Aboriginal elders and community enriched the experience for all involved. The integrated science program appears to generate positive engagement for both Indigenous students and their non-Indigenous peers. Additionally, the program provided a valuable template for teachers to emulate and which can act as a model for the requirement to include Indigenous perspectives in the new National Science Curriculum.
