The phenomenon of radicalism in Indonesia is still rife, such as the bombing of the church in Surabaya, the shootout with radicalist in Yogyakarta, are some examples of recent events of radicalism. Likewise, the events of radicalism in the world, the radical group ISIS is a group that often carries out acts of radicalism and ISIS propaganda that should be watched out so as not to damage peace in Indonesia. This shows that the importance of efforts to overcome radicalism, namely through the prevention of the development of radicalism. The background of this research is motivated by the importance of preventing radicalism from developing among primary school students through instilling the values of patriotism. The story book "Negeri Hastinapura" was chosen because wayang can be used as an educational tool, because it contains elements of truth, justice, purpose, obedience, loyalty, heroism, spiritual, psychological, philosophical and all aspects of human disposition and its problems (Tofani, 2013). “Negeri Hastinapura” is the country contained in the Mahabharata puppet story. This story book "Negeri Hastinapura" takes place when it is led by Prabu Yudistira, where the country is safe, peaceful, and the community is prosperous, so students can be taught exemplary values and instilling the values of patriotism. The development of the story book "Negeri Hastinapura" was designed using the development research (R&D) method using the subject of primary school students. The story book "Negeri Hastinapura" was tested in primary schools, SDIT Insan Utama, Yogyakarta. The results of the analysis of the value of patriotism showed that the t-test score was 5.350 with Sig. 0,000. This shows that there is a significant increase in the value of students' patriotism between before and after learning using the story book "Negeri Hastinapura".

The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with school refusal behavior in primary school students. Student’s self-report and teacher’s measures were implemented; and students were recruited from 20 primary schools in six districts in Selangor, Malaysia. The survey was conducted at the end of school term in 2016, with a total of 915 students from Year 4 and Year 5 participating. The sample of students had been absent from school for more than 15% of school days in the current year. Pearson correlation shows a significant relationship between academic achievement and school satisfaction toward school refusal behavior. The findings of this study suggest that academic difficulties and dissatisfaction towards school environment could be the important risk factors for school refusal behavior. The present study underscores the importance of early detection and intervention as measures to reduce school refusal. Finally, the findings imply that the role of school factors should always be taken into account in connection with school refusal behaviour.

Post Disaster

The Ranau Earthquake that struck on 5 June 2015, February 2018, and April 2021, were a new disaster in Sabah and caused many Sabahan to panic. The unpredicted disaster also caused a serious impact on all aspects of life in Sabah. The earthquake has caused severe damage to eight primary schools in the vicinity of the epicenter, although no casualties were reported. However, the disaster has deep passing psychological effects among students. In this study, we examine how the primary school teachers enabled the student to be resilient during and after the disaster. Based on the interviews with 16 primary school students, it was revealed that most of the teachers used WhatsApp to support resilience during and after the earthquake. Interviews with 16 primary school teachers revealed there were two main reasons for them to communicate with students, namely, delivering emotional aid and monitoring their stress. Based on student interviews, five content categories of emotional support were identified: caring, reassuring, emotion sharing, belonging, and distracting. The main contribution of this study is that social media can be used as a spontaneous and proactive tool for supporting the student’s resilience during and after the earthquake trauma.

Reading Activities

<p>Reading is an important skill in learning English. However, reading class is not emphasized in some primary schools in China, and there are various problems with the reading activities, which inadequately just focus on teaching of words, sentences separately from texts. This paper aims to bring out a whole system of principles in designing flexible English reading activities to help students form a good reading habit, apply reading skills, use language learned pragmatically and be familiar with the cultures covered in read materials. At last, some examples are offered to demonstrate how to implement these principles so as to enhance reading for Primary school students effectively.</p>

Class Scheduling

The objective of this study was to investigate whether the class scheduling of Nature and Biology classes in blocks results in better learning success for primary school students, and whether this depends on the average student success rate (i.e., student performance categories), age, or prior knowledge. For this study, we have assumed that block scheduling results in better success rates for older lower-performing primary-school students. The research included 773 fifth- to eighth-grade students from 14 Croatian primary schools. The students fell into two groups: one group attending 45-min Nature and Biology lessons twice a week (single-scheduled classes), and another group attending a 90-min lesson once a week (block-scheduled class). To assess the level of student learning success, all students underwent both an initial and final written exam in Nature and/or Biology, specific to each grade. The rmANOVA proved that there was a significant interaction among class scheduling, performance categories, and the initial and final written exam scores of fifth- and seventh-grade students. Such a correlation was not found among the sixth- and eighth-grade students. Our findings further indicate that students achieve better results in block-scheduled classes at the end of primary school education, and that block class scheduling does not necessarily result in improved student achievement, particularly in lower-performing students.

Foreign language learning styles are aimed at facilitating students' learning and therefore the teaching style used is important in terms of matching learners' styles to their educational needs. The present study was aimed at investigating several dimensions of primary school students' language learning styles and the ways in which certain styles are shaped and favored by teachers' teaching styles. The primary aim was to find out whether or not the measures taken by the Turkish Ministry of Education regarding rectifying the shortage of teachers of English as a foreign language have had an effect on the learning styles of primary school students. The secondary aim was to examine the varying learning styles of EFL students in two primary schools and to establish whether or not there has been a change in these learning styles. Finally, the researcher examined whether or not the economic conditions of the schools had an influence on the students' learning styles.

Therefore, using of models in complex and abstract subjects becomes very important.&amp;#160; It provides convenience for the teaching of problems about which students encounter the assosication and concretization in daily life. For this reason, geoscience subjects must be supported by necessary materials and students should be provided by learning by doing. Students benefit from tools such as models and posters to provide permanent and easy learning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geoscience education with models;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Provides an understanding events that cannot be detected by five sensory organs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Makes complex topics more understandable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Makes easy to learn abstract ideas and concepts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Provides permanent learning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Objectives of geoscience education with models;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-To enable students to become active in the teaching environment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-To increase students&amp;#8217;&amp;#160; interest for the geoscience subjects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-To ensure the permanent learning of the students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-To develop students&amp;#8217; teamwork and collaboration skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-To improve students&amp;#8217; creativity skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In primary school students' positive attitudes towards school and learning affect the following educational life. Geoscience education with models is one of the important ways for primary school students to increase the desire for learning and to develop positive attitudes towards school.
