Using Game Based Learning to Optimize 4C Skills in Elementary/MI

Dyah Afifah Andari — 2026-02-13

Twenty first century education requires students to possess key competencies known as the 4C skills (Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity). The Merdeka Curriculum at the elementary schools level encourages the implementation of innovative learning models that can foster these four skills. One effective approach is Game-Based Learning (GBL), a game-based instructional method that emphasizes interaction, challenge, and collaboration. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review method using articles and scientific journals published between 2020–2025. Data sources were collected from accredited national journals and reputable international journals discussing GBL and the development of 4C skills in elementary education. The findings indicate that GBL contributes significantly to the improvement of all four 4C skills. Game elements such as challenges, rules, instant feedback, and social interaction have been proven to enhance students’ critical thinking abilities, increase creativity in problem solving, strengthen communication among students, and build teamwork. In addition, GBL also boosts students’ motivation and active participation during the learning process. These findings suggest that GBL is a relevant and effective approach to be applied within the Merdeka Curriculum, particularly in developing essential 21st-century skills at the elementary schools level.

Analysis of the Needs of Interactive Media "CASINO" Based on Think Pair Share for Indonesian Language Learning in Elementary Schools

Nadia Shofyana — 2026-02-13

This study aims to analyze the need for interactive media "CASINO" based on Think Pair Share in Indonesian language learning at SD IT Al-Akhyar, especially on synonym material. Data were collected through interviews with fifth grade teachers and questionnaires filled out by 24 students. The results of the study indicate that there is no learning media used, teachers only use conventional teaching materials in the form of worksheets and textbooks so that learning is less interesting. As well as the lack of student understanding in Indonesian language learning, especially on synonym material. Strengthened by the questionnaire data where 41.7% of students do not like Indonesian language learning, because the method is monotonous and too much narrative text. From the material aspect, 87.5% of students understand the concept of antonyms, but only 58.3% understand the concept of synonyms. Teachers stated that they had never used interactive media (such as Interactive PPT) and considered that the TPS model and visual media were very necessary to create more collaborative, effective, and efficient learning in time management. In conclusion, the development of the interactive "CASINO" media based on Think Pair Share is highly relevant and necessary to increase students' interest and understanding of vocabulary concepts at the elementary school level.

Muhammad Yudha Pratama — 2026-02-13

In the era of globalization and digitalization, the main challenge faced by the world of education is the decline in the morals and character of students in elementary schools. This phenomenon shows the need to instill noble values as the foundation for building children's character. This study aims to describe the process of revitalizing Islamic values through Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and its influence on the character building of students at SDN Ketapang 1. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study, involving observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation techniques to obtain comprehensive data. The data were analyzed inductively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the implementation of various methods, such as discussions, question and answer sessions, simulations, and stories about the Prophet and his companions, was able to increase the internalization of Islamic values and strengthen the affective and psychomotor aspects of students. The habit of routine religious activities, such as praying in congregation and reciting the Qur'an, also shapes students' spiritual discipline and positive character. Although there is a dependence on the lecture method, in general, this approach is able to create a pleasant learning atmosphere and has a positive effect on the character development of students. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening values-based education as an effort to shape a young generation with Islamic character in the modern era

Artificial Intelligence in Inclusive Education: A Systematic Review of Teacher Competencies

Ade Putra — 2026-02-13

This study aims to systematically review the competencies required of teachers to implement AI in the context of inclusive education. A systematic review approach was used, referring to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Data sources were obtained from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases, covering publications from 2017 to 2025. Of the total 714 articles identified, eight articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed thematically. The results of the study show that the application of AI in inclusive education requires mastery of three main dimensions of teacher competence, namely technical foundations, ethical awareness, and inclusive pedagogy. AI has the potential to strengthen personalized learning, foster equitable access, and improve the psychological well-being of students. However, teacher readiness, training limitations, and weak policy support remain major obstacles to its implementation. This study emphasizes the need to strengthen teachers' AI literacy through targeted professional training, education policies that support inclusivity, and ethical governance that is adaptive to technological dynamics. The results of this review are expected to form the basis for the development of policies and programs to improve teacher competence in the era of artificial intelligence.
