Epistemic Agency in Multimodal Reading: How Primary Learners Construct Knowledge Across Modes
type: item
description: Abstract Reading literacy remains a persistent challenge in many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. However, primary EFL learners frequently encounter difficulties in integrating linguistic, visual, spatial, and gestural modalities. This study investigates how primary learners exercise epistemic agency in multimodal reading and construct knowledge across different modes. Utilizing multimodality theory and epistemic agency, the study implemented an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design involving thirty fifth-grade students from Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 1 Tulang Bawang Barat, Lampung. In Phase 1, a one-group pretest–posttest design measured changes in multimodal comprehension using a validated twenty-item instrument. Results showed significant improvement, with mean scores rising from 61.40 (SD = 8.25) to 74.30 (SD = 7.80), t(29) = 8.52, p < 0.001, and Cohen’s d = 1.56, indicating a large effect. In Phase 2, six students representing varied improvement levels were interviewed and engaged in task-based reflections. Thematic analysis identified five dimensions of epistemic agency: taking initiative, decision-making across modes, justification of understanding, reflection and self-regulation, and collaboration and dialogue. The integration of both phases demonstrated that learners' agentive engagement with multimodal resources underpinned comprehension gains, transforming affordances into strategies for meaning-making. These findings affirm that multimodal pedagogy fosters not only measurable comprehension outcomes but also autonomy, critical thinking, and collaborative engagement. The study recommends embedding multimodal literacy into EFL curricula and providing scaffolds that balance cognitive support with opportunities for agency. Keywords: epistemic agency, knowledge construction, literacy pedagogy, multimodal reading, primary school.

Social Adjustment among in-School Adolescents with Learning Disabilities: Do Parental Socioeconomic Status and Peer Influence Play Any Role?
type: item
description: Abstract Social adjustment, a crucial aspect of everyone’s life, is needed to cope with one’s engagement with others in society and overall social life. However, reports have shown that many in-school adolescents, particularly in Oyo State secondary schools, exhibit poor social adjustment. Therefore, this study investigated the predictive influence of parental socioeconomic status and peer influence on the social adjustment of in-school adolescents with learning disabilities. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design of the correlational type. The multistage sampling procedure was used. The three Senatorial Districts in Oyo State were enumerated. Twenty-seven public senior secondary schools (three from each local government area) were randomly selected. The Screening Inventory for Learning Disabilities was adopted to identify 452 in-school adolescents with learning disabilities. The instruments used were Peer Influence (r=0.76), Parental Socioeconomic Status (r=0.73), and Social Adjustment (r=0.92) scales. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson product moment correlation at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that there was a significant relationship between peer influence and social adjustment (r=0.46) as well as between parental socioeconomic status and social adjustment (r=0.27) of in-school adolescents with learning disabilities. Based on the findings, the researchers made some recommendations for relevant stakeholders. However, the study calls for special educators and stakeholders to identify and support students with learning disabilities early, in order to enhance their social skills and long-term well-being. Keywords: adolescents’ social engagements, learning disabilities, peer influence, socio-economic status of parents.

Digital Competence and Teacher Preparedness for Educational Transformation in the Merdeka Curriculum Framework
type: item
description: Abstract This research aims to analyze the digital competency level of teachers at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) in Cirebon Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The research methodology employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. 49 MI teachers were selected as respondents through random sampling techniques. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Descriptive statistics were used to look at quantitative data, and data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing were used to look at qualitative data. Findings show a generally low level of digital competence, with a mean score of 2.28 (SD = 0.86) on a 5-point scale. Most teachers (40.8%) fell into the “Low” category, 30.6% were “Moderate,” and only 4.1% achieved “Very High.” Digital communication had the highest score (M = 2.52), followed by technology use (M = 2.42), digital ethics (M = 2.11), and content creation (M = 2.08). Teachers struggled most with creating digital materials, using online platforms, and understanding digital ethics. Teaching experience (F = 2.49, p = 0.045) and school location (F = 3.26, p = 0.047) showed significant differences, with urban and less-experienced teachers performing better. The regression analysis revealed age, teaching experience, rural location, and prior training as significant predictors, accounting for 43.5% of the variance. There were no differences between the sexes. The implications of this research point to the urgency of implementing programs to enhance teachers' digital competency.

Need Analysis for Developing a Semiotic-Based Augmented Reality Media to Enhance Numeracy Literacy Among Deaf Children
type: item
description: Abstract This study aims to analyze the needs for developing a semiotic-based Augmented Reality (AR) learning medium to enhance numeracy literacy among deaf students. A qualitative descriptive method was employed through open-ended questionnaires and interviews involving teachers at Sekolah Luar Biasa Negeri Branjangan, Jember Regency, Indonesia. The findings indicate that although 50% of teachers are familiar with AR technology, all participants expressed a strong need and enthusiasm for its implementation in numeracy instruction. Teachers perceived that the visual, interactive, and semiotic features of AR can transform abstract mathematical concepts into concrete and meaningful learning experiences that align with the visual learning strengths of deaf students. The study also revealed that color, animation, and three-dimensional visualization significantly enhance students’ attention and conceptual understanding. The integration of semiotic principles—icons, indices, and symbols—into AR design enables the representation of mathematical meaning through visual signs that are easily accessible and interpretable. This approach bridges the gap between symbolic understanding and experiential learning in mathematics. The findings highlight the significant potential of AR not only as a technological innovation but also as a semiotic learning environment that supports inclusive education for students with hearing impairments. Moreover, these results provide a theoretical and practical foundation for teacher training programs on the use of AR-based technology in special education contexts. Keywords: augmented reality, deaf learners, inclusive education, numeracy literacy semiotics.

The Effect of Cooperative Learning Model on Elementary School Students’ Affective Learning Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis
type: item
description: Abstract This meta-analysis aims to examine the effect of cooperative learning on elementary school students’ affective learning outcomes after the implementation of the cooperative learning model. 40 relevant studies, through online databases, including Google Scholar, DOAJ, ERIC, Springer, Elsevier, and ResearchGate, were identified. Of these, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria and provided usable data, yielding 16 artifacts. Data from 16 artifacts, including sample sizes, means, and standard deviations, were collected using descriptive analysis. The data analysis utilized meta-analysis techniques, including effect size calculation, heterogeneity testing, summary effect estimation using a random-effects model, and the assessment of potential publication bias through forest plots. Those analyses utilized JASP software. The results showed that: (1) The effect size (ES) for affective learning outcomes of elementary school students was 77.06, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) ranging from 73.34 to 81.77. The hypothesis test produced a z value of 0.4035, which is smaller than the critical value (z = 1.96), leading to the acceptance of the null hypothesis (H₀) and the rejection of the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ); (2) Although there is a slight asymmetry in the funnel diagram indicating potential publication bias, the statistically insignificant Egger regression test (z = -0.1078, p = 0.914) supports the robustness of the meta-analysis, which confirms that the cooperative learning model produces moderate to high affective learning outcomes in elementary school students. This finding indicates that although cooperative learning can positively influence students' affective learning outcomes, the observed effect size is not statistically significant at α = 0.05. Thus, it is recommended that future studies refine the design and implementation of cooperative learning strategies to increase their effectiveness and achieve statistically significant improvements in elementa…

description: Abstract Mathematics is a fundamental science that extends beyond the classroom and plays a crucial role in daily life, including within religious contexts, like the principle of Ukhuwah Islamiyah in Islam. Divergent perspectives often overlook this principle, which aims to unite Muslims, thereby impacting children's understanding of diversity. This study explores how mathematical concepts can be interpreted through the lens of Ukhuwah Islamiyah to reinforce both the principle and mathematical thinking. Using a qualitative method with an autoethnographic approach, the researcher (first author) reflects on personal experiences related to Qur'anic and Hadith teachings. Data were collected through narrative writing, narrative inquiry, document analysis, and expert interviews and validated using trustworthiness and authenticity criteria. The findings highlight various mathematical concepts linked to Ukhuwah Islamiyah, such as numbers and operations, geometry (lines and angles), building nets, and the alignment of lines and angles in congregational prayer. These insights provide a basis for integrating Islamic values into elementary mathematics education, fostering meaningful learning experiences. In conclusion, these mathematical elements provide valuable opportunities for classroom instruction, promoting character development, enhancing mathematical reasoning, and reinforcing the principle of Ukhuwah Islamiyah. Keywords: mathematics education, Islamic teachings, ukhuwah islamiyah.

Studi ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana konsep matematika dapat diinterpretasikan melalui lensa Ukhuwah Islamiyah untuk memperkuat pr…

Strengthening Cultural Literacy Through Cirebon Folk Tales Incorporating Religious Moderation Values
type: item
description: Abstract The limited integration of local cultural values and religious moderation in elementary education has hindered the development of students’ character and their understanding of diversity. Although Indonesia possesses rich cultural heritage embedded in regional folklore, these stories are often underutilized as pedagogical resources for fostering tolerance, mutual respect, and harmonious interfaith relations. This study aims to describe the condition of cultural literacy in elementary schools, identify Cirebon folk tales that contain religious moderation values, and examine the implementation of cultural literacy strengthening. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that cultural literacy is inconsistently introduced in schools, that Cirebon folk tales such as Azan Pitu, Klenteng Jamblang, Babad Cirebon, and Nadran contain strong moderation values, and that the strengthening of cultural literacy is implemented through the P3 framework, the School Literacy Movement, and Pancasila Student Profile activities. These results highlight the importance of utilizing local folklore as a culturally grounded medium for cultivating national commitment, tolerance, non-violence, and cultural accommodation among young learners. Keywords: folklore, cultural literacy, religious moderation. Abstrak Integrasi nilai-nilai budaya lokal dan moderasi agama yang terbatas dalam pendidikan dasar telah menghambat perkembangan karakter siswa dan pemahaman mereka terhadap keragaman. Meskipun Indonesia memiliki warisan budaya yang kaya yang tertanam dalam folklore regional, cerita-cerita ini seringkali kurang dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber daya pedagogis untuk menumbuhkan toleransi, saling menghormati, dan hubungan antaragama yang harmonis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan kondisi literasi budaya di sekolah dasar, …
