Optimizing Elementary School Education through the Implementation of Karawitan-Based Learning Grounded in Local Wisdom

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to identify the optimization of the implementation of learning based on local musical wisdom in arts and culture music material subjects in elementary schools.
 Methodology: This research uses a classroom action research approach as the main method. The research subjects in this context are fifth grade elementary school students who are involved in learning based on Karawitan Local Wisdom. The data collection technique in this research uses a questionnaire to measure responses and observation sheets to measure student learning activity. The data analysis technique uses descriptive statistics and the independent sample t-test.
 Main Findings: The research results show that the implementation of Karawitan Local Wisdom-based learning at the Sendangsari Village Elementary School, through a project-based and open approach, has had a significant positive impact on students' responses and their activeness in the learning process. There is a real increase in students' interest, understanding and appreciation of the learning material, along with more intensive student participation.
 Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of the results of this research lies in the implementation of a Karawitan Local Wisdom-based learning model at the elementary school level, which concretely depicts significant changes in students' responses and their activeness during the learning process.

The Validity of Authentic Assessment Instruments in the Poe of Dynamic Fluid Materials for High School

“…The rapid development of science and technology is a challenge for the world of education. Ongoing learning should facilitate the acquisition of student skills such as collaboration, creativity, literacy, communication, and critical thinking (Asrizal et al, 2018;Astalini et al, 2022;Nwune et al, 2023;Yusnidar et al, 2023;Aningrum et al, 2024;Alvisari et al, 2024). To answer these challenges, the government has taken various initiatives to improve the quality of education in Indonesia, including improving the curriculum, providing school facilities and infrastructure, and increasing teacher professionalism.…”

A Study of Mixed-Method: Science Process Skills, Interests and Learning Outcomes of Natural Science in Junior High School

“…Learning outcomes can be said to be something that can be learned. Students do what they previously could not do (Watson, 2002;Caspersen et al, 2017;van et al, 2019;Aningrum, Aliazas, & Kim, 2024). Learning outcomes are one of the references to success in the educational process in the form of abilities possessed by students.…”
