Dian Mustika Anggraini, Husni Mubarok, Ima Frafika Sari — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 13:28:21 +0700

Numeracy literacy is very important for elementary school students because it provides a basis for applying mathematics in everyday life. Numeracy literacy requires students to think critically in solving problems. Moreover, elementary school is early childhood education to start getting used to thinking through research and analysis. Researchers use qualitative research in literature studies by reviewing various sources such as books, articles, modules, and final research assignments. The results of the research are that there are several ways to shape the critical thinking character of elementary school students with numeracy literacy, namely 1) using interactive learning models such as project-based learning and problem-based learning; 2) application of numeracy literacy in various classroom activities; and 3) conveying meaningful mathematical values during learning. A teacher can use these three methods optimally, provided that a teacher must also apply numeracy literacy in everyday life. So it will be easier for students to imitate and apply it.

Mira Alfiani, Sarah Fazila — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 13:52:28 +0700

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Discovery learning model combined with puzzle media in improving students' understanding of Natural Science (IPA) concepts in fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 4 Muara Dua. This research employs a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 40 students divided into two groups: the experimental group, which received learning through the Discovery learning model assisted by puzzle media, and the control group, which was taught using the demonstrasi method. Data were collected through pretests and posttests, then analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The results showed that the average posttest score of the experimental group (79.25) was higher than that of the control group (74.7), although the significance value of 0.391 (> 0.05) indicated that the difference was not statistically significant. Nonetheless, a descriptive increase in learning outcomes in the experimental group suggests that the application of the Discovery learning model assisted by puzzle media has a practically positive impact on students' understanding of science concepts.

Teacher mental health is an essential aspect of education, particularly at the Elementary School/Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (SD/MI) level. An unsupportive work environment and ineffective stress management can reduce teacher performance and negatively impact the quality of learning. This study employed a quantitative approach with proportionalrandom sampling to select 120 MI/SD teachers in Kudus Regency as the sample. The research instruments consisted of a work environment scale, a stress management scale, and a mental health scale. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings revealed that the quality of the work environment and stress management significantly influence teachers’ mental health, both simultaneously and partially (p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.616 indicates that these two independent variables contribute 61.6% to the variation in teachers’ mental health. These results confirm that a supportive work environment and effective stress management skills are key factors in maintaining teachers’ mental well-being. This aligns with occupational well-being theories that highlight the importance of psychosocial factors in supporting teacher performance. Schools, madrasahs, and policymakers are advised to optimize workplace facilities, create a conducive work climate, and provide regular stress management training. Such efforts can enhance teachers’ mental well-being, thereby supporting the delivery of high-quality and sustainable learning.
