Reading Comprehension Questioning Pattern Used by the Author of Elementary Students’ Workbook
Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill that significantly influences students academic success across all subjects, particularly in elementary school. The questioning patterns employed in elementary students' workbooks significantly influence reading comprehension skills by guiding learners through varying levels of cognitive engagement. This qualitative study aimed to analyze the types and patterns of questions in elementary workbooks and explore their alignment with students' cognitive development stages. Employing a case study approach, the research involved document analysis of 100 questions from workbooks for grades 3, 4, and 5, categorized into factual, inferential, and open ended types, alongside semi-structured interviews with three students (one per grade) to capture preferences and experiences. The results revealed a predominance of factual questions (50%), followed by inferential (30%) and open ended (20%), with grade-specific distributions: Grade 3 (65% factual, 25% inferential, 10% open ended), Grade 4 (50% factual, 35% inferential, 15% open ended), and Grade 5 (35% factual, 35% inferential, 30% open ended). Student preferences aligned with cognitive stages, with younger students favoring factual questions and older ones preferring inferential and open ended types. In conclusion, while workbooks provide foundational comprehension practice, the imbalance toward factual questions may limit higher order thinking development. The study contributes to improving the design of reading materials aligned with students’ cognitive development, recommending a more balanced distribution of question types to foster progressive cognitive growth in elementary education.

Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran Memahami Kandungan Al-Qur’an Pada Mata Pelajaran Al-Qur’an Hadis di MA Darul Ulum Palangka Raya
This study aims to describe the implementation of learning to understand the contents of the Qur'an in the Qur'an Hadith subject at MA Darul Ulum Palangka Raya, which includes preliminary, core, and closing activities, as well as identifying the main obstacles and solutions applied by teachers. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with field research. Data were collected through observation, structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results show that learning is carried out systematically and reflectively. In the introductory activities, teachers build students' readiness to learn through religious habits and reflective perception. In the core activities, tadabbur-based learning using lecture and question-and-answer methods encouraged students to actively construct their understanding of the meaning of Qur'anic verses and internalize the value of patience as part of the learning process. The closing activities emphasized reflection and reinforcement of Qur'anic values. The main obstacles in learning included limited media, learning time, and variations in student motivation. The solution was implemented through flexible learning strategies, strengthening teacher-student interaction, and reinforcing spiritual motivation. These findings show that Al-Qur'an Hadith learning reflects a constructivist approach that not only builds cognitive understanding but also strengthens the internalization of patience as a Qur'anic character trait.

The Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Learning Stations for Differentiated Learning Based on Students' Learning Styles
The integration of learning stations in higher education continues to face challenges in effectively addressing diverse student learning styles. Although differentiated instruction offers substantial promise, its implementation is often hindered by limited resources and the complexity of delivering personalized learning experiences at scale. This study explores the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced learning stations in supporting differentiated instruction aligned with individual learning preferences. Using a mixed-methods explanatory design, the research involved 82 students from an Educational Technology Study Program, divided into an experimental group (utilizing AI-supported learning stations) and a control group (traditional stations without AI). Data collection methods included pre- and post-tests, structured observations, VARK learning style inventories, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative results indicated statistically significant improvements in learning outcomes for the experimental group, reflected in higher post-test scores and greater normalized gains. T-test and ANOVA analyses confirmed the intervention’s overall effectiveness, with no significant variation in learning gains across learning style categories within the experimental group. Qualitative findings supported these outcomes, with participants reporting that the AI-assisted environment fostered more personalized, relevant, and reflective learning experiences. Moreover, the integration of AI was associated with increased learner engagement, heightened motivation, and improved metacognitive awareness of learning preferences. This study contributes empirical evidence supporting the role of AI in enabling differentiated instruction within higher education contexts, highlighting its potential to provide scalable, personalized learning experiences. The findings suggest that AI-driven solutions may address key limitations in traditional instructional design by offering inclusive and adaptive strategies responsive to individual learner needs.

Analisis Kebutuhan Media Pembelajaran IPAS Berbasis Buku Cerita Bergambar Bermuatan Prinsip Pembelajaran Mendalam di Sekolah Dasar
Learning Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) in elementary schools requires deep and contextual conceptual understanding. However, classroom practices remain dominated by teacher-centered approaches and conventional learning media, which contribute to low student learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the needs for developing IPAS learning media in the form of illustrated storybooks integrated with deep learning principles. The study employed a research and development approach focusing on the needs analysis stage and used a descriptive method combining qualitative and quantitative data. The research subjects were fourth-grade teachers and students from six elementary schools in Cluster 7, Tabanan District. Data were collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, student questionnaires on learning media needs, and document analysis of student learning outcomes. The results show that IPAS instruction is still dominated by lecture-based methods with limited use of visual and contextual media. Quantitatively, only 32% of students achieved the Minimum Learning Achievement Criteria, with an average score of 61.7, particularly indicating difficulties in tasks requiring conceptual understanding and contextual application. Both teachers and students expressed a strong need for visually rich and contextual story-based learning media that are easy to use and relevant to students’ daily lives. These findings position needs analysis as a critical empirical foundation for developing IPAS learning media in the form of illustrated storybooks integrated with deep learning principles, an area that has received limited attention in previous studies. Therefore, the development of such media is considered a crucial pedagogical step to support more meaningful, reflective, and student-centered IPAS learning in elementary schools.

Jaran Kepang is widely recognized as a form of traditional cultural heritage and community entertainment; however, its function as a medium for character education within art communities has not been sufficiently explored. In fact, traditional performance practices contain educational values that contribute to the formation of individual and social character, particularly among young community members. This study aims to examine the presentation of Rukun Tri Santoso and to identify the character education values embedded in its performance and community activities. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through participatory observation of performances, in-depth interviews with the community leader, the handler, six dancers, four gamelan musicians, and three supporting members, as well as documentation analysis. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation and member checking. The findings indicate that the Jaran Kepang performance integrates dance movements, gamelan accompaniment, costumes, properties, and performance procedures that are rich in symbolic meanings. These elements reflect character values such as discipline, responsibility, teamwork, mutual cooperation (gotong royong), religiosity, respect, and appreciation of local culture. Importantly, these values are not only manifested during public performances but are consistently internalized throughout rehearsal processes, role distribution, and daily social interactions among paguyuban members. In conclusion, Jaran Kepang functions as an informal, community-based character education agent through embodied cultural practices. This study demonstrates has strong potential as a local wisdom based medium for character education that can be applied in both formal and non-formal educational contexts, particularly in supporting cultural preservation and youth character development.

Analisis Kebutuhan Pengembangan Buku Suplemen Menulis Deskriptif Berbasis Observasi Lingkungan Pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar
This study aims to analyze the need for developing a supplementary book for descriptive writing based on environmental observation for elementary school students. The problem underlying this study is the low quality of students’ descriptive writing, particularly in terms of content development, text organization, and the use of concrete descriptive vocabulary. This research employed a research and development approach with a focus on the needs analysis and preliminary study stage. The study was conducted with sixth-grade students from an elementary school cluster in Tabanan District, involving 72 students and 4 classroom teachers. Data were collected through document analysis of students’ written work, classroom observations, teacher interviews, and a student needs analysis questionnaire. The findings indicate that most students have not achieved mastery in content and language aspects, while descriptive writing instruction in the classroom is still dominated by textbook-based approaches without systematic environmental observation activities. In addition, both teachers and students expressed the need for supplementary teaching materials that can guide the writing process in a structured and contextual manner. The scientific contribution of this study lies in positioning needs analysis as an empirical foundation for designing a descriptive writing supplementary book grounded in the local environmental context and aligned with experience-based learning principles within the Merdeka Curriculum framework.
