Formation of Tolerance Character Through Learning Pancasila in Grade IV SDN 164 Pekanbaru
This study aims to describe the strengthening of the value of tolerance through learning Pancasila Education in grade IV students of SDN 164 Pekanbaru. The background of this research is based on the behavior of students who still do not appreciate differences in religion, ethnicity, culture, and peer background, so a learning strategy is needed that is able to foster a tolerant attitude from an early age. The method used in this study is library research, by collecting data and information from various sources such as books, journals, scientific articles, theses, and other relevant references. The collected data was analyzed descriptively to explain facts related to the application of tolerance values in Pancasila Education learning and explain relevant character strengthening strategies. The results of the study show that instilling the value of tolerance through learning Pancasila Education can form an attitude of respecting differences, accepting the opinions of friends, and working together in group activities regardless of individual background. The cultivation of tolerance values is carried out through a combination of theoretical learning methods, hands-on practice, critical thinking skill development, and teacher examples. Despite this, some students still exhibit exclusive behaviors and minor conflicts caused by a lack of understanding of differences, so strengthening the value of tolerance needs to be done consistently and sustainably. This study recommends the integration of tolerance values in every learning activity, strengthening teacher examples, and parental involvement in guiding students to implement tolerant attitudes at home. Thus, learning Pancasila Education is an effective means to form tolerant character, increase social awareness, and prepare students to be able to live harmoniously in a multicultural society.

The Effect of the Integration of Spaced Repetition and Quizlet on English Speaking Skills at the Elementary School Level
This study aims to investigate the influence of the Spaced Repetition (SR) method assisted by Quizlet media on the improvement of English speaking skills of elementary school students. The research design used a quasi-experiment with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of two groups: the experimental group that was taught with the integration of SR and Quizlet, and the control group that was taught by the Direct Instruction/Shadowing method. Students' initial abilities are measured through the pretest, and the final achievement through the same posttest. The results of the descriptive analysis showed a more significant increase in the experimental group. The mean increased from 62.96 to 84.07 (a difference of 21.11 points), while the control group only increased from 58.34 to 72.41 (difference of 14.07 points). A decrease in standard deviation in the experimental group (9,935 to 9,043) indicated a better equitable distribution of abilities. The results of the inferential statistical test reinforce these findings. The Independent Sample T-Test on the posttest data yielded a significance value of p = 0.001 (p < 0.01), which proves a statistically significant difference in improvement between the two groups. Simple linear regression analysis revealed that the SR-Quizlet method was a strong predictor of ability improvement, with a contribution of 64.7% (Coefficient of Determination R² = 0.647). It was concluded that the integration of the Spaced Repetition method and Quizlet media was effective and superior in improving the English speaking skills of elementary school students compared to conventional methods. This success is supported by a synergistic three-phase learning syntax: (1) reinforcement of early memory through a multisensory approach, (2) consolidation of long-term memory through gamified Spaced Repetition and Active Recall, and (3) improvement of productive skills through contextual application. This study recommends this model as an innovative, evidence-based strategy for teaching speaking at the elementary level.

Analysis of the Thinking Process of Grade V Students of SDI Al Ghaffaar in Solving Mathematical Problems
Math problem-solving skills are essential to train students' logical and analytical thinking, but they are often challenging at the elementary school level due to students' difficulties in understanding initial concepts and digesting the material. This study aims to analyze the thinking process of grade V students of SDI Al Ghaffaar Malang in solving problems of KPK and FPB materials through written tests, student interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the test questions on mathematical problem-solving ability of KPK and FPB materials were tested to be very valid (validity of 90.90%) for grade V students. The main strength of the two students lies in the instrumental understanding in planning and execution of strategies, as evidenced by the high ability to choose methods and apply algorithms. However, students experience significant limitations in relational understanding, particularly in comprehensively understanding problems and verifying results. This pattern of difficulty includes a failure to identify contextual information and conceptual justification, which indicates reasoning is limited to instrumental-procedural aspects. The implications of learning emphasize the need to develop relational understanding through habituation of contextual problem identification, strengthening conceptual reasoning and verification, and optimizing teaching strategies.

The Role of Teachers as Organizers in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Learning: A Literature Review from an Islamic Perspective
Education from an Islamic perspective has an important role in the formation of people who have faith, knowledge, and noble character. Teachers are the main element in the success of education because teachers are also organizers in managing the learning process and fostering students. Teachers are not only facilitators in the classroom, but also organizers, supervisors, and people in charge of creating a positive climate. This research aims to analyze the role of teachers as an organization seen through an Islamic perspective, especially based on the Qur'an and Hadith. The method used is a literature review by taking a qualitative approach from various sources of scientific literature in the form of books, journal articles, and official educational documents. The findings of this study show that from an Islamic perspective, teachers are positioned as murabbi, mursyid, and muzakki. The role of teachers as organizers is also reflected in how teachers manage classrooms, organize learning activities, instill discipline and moral values, and create an effective educational environment with educational value. The perspective of the Qur'an and Hadith affirms that this organizing task must be based on example, justice, compassion, and moral responsibility. Thus, strengthening the role of teachers as organizers based on Islamic values is an important key in improving the quality of education and forming human resources who are knowledgeable, moral, and pious.

Animation Canva-Based PP-SDA Platform: Synergy of Islamic Education and Science in IPAS Learning in MI/SD
Learning Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) in elementary schools requires instructional media that can contextually explain the interrelationships between scientific concepts, social phenomena, and the values of Islamic Primary Education. However, classroom practices are still predominantly dominated by conventional and static media, which inadequately support student engagement and understanding. This study aims to develop the PP-SDA Platform based on Canva Animation as an interactive and visual IPAS learning medium integrated with Islamic values in the topic of Natural Resource Management. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model, which includes the stages of defining, designing, and developing. The defining stage involved curriculum analysis, review of learning outcomes, initial observations, and communication with teachers to identify media needs and learner characteristics. The designing stage produced content concepts, presentation flow, and storyboard-based visual designs, which were developed into a PowerPoint-based prototype using Canva Animation. The development stage included prototype production and limited trials conducted with fourth-grade students of MI Salafiyah Sidorejo using student and teacher response questionnaires as research instruments. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results indicate that the PP-SDA Platform demonstrates high levels of attractiveness, clarity of content, integration of Islamic values, and usefulness, with average scores of 89.60% from students and 91.60% from teachers. The media also enhances students' attention, understanding, and ability to relate scientific concepts to Islamic moral values. Therefore, the PP-SDA Platform is feasible to be used as an innovative learning medium in IPAS instruction.

The Effectiveness of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition Model Assisted by Scratch Media in Improving the Reading Comprehension Ability of Grade V Students
The background of the research is based on the urgency of improving national literacy scores, where data from PIRLS and PISA consistently show serious challenges to students' ability to understand texts inferentially and evaluatively, demanding innovation of learning methods. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how effective the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) model assisted by Scratch media was in improving students' reading and composition skills in grade V compared to the Canva-assisted cooperative learning. A research method with a quasi-experimental design, which used a sample of 60 students, was used in this quantitative study. Once the data is collected through the pretest and posttest, the N-Gain and Independent-Sample t-tests are used. The results showed that, with p = 0.002, there was a significant difference in improvement between the two groups; the experimental class had an average N-Gain of 0.58, and the control class had an average N-Gain of 0.39. These results show that the CIRC Model is very helpful for Scratch in improving students' reading comprehension, especially with the Appreciation indicator. This is an advantage because Scratch is a knowledge construction tool that encourages more complex data processing. However, the Inferential indicator shows the lowest gains. According to this study, the Scratch-assisted CIRC model is a creative approach to improving literacy in elementary schools.

Comparison of The Effectiveness of Portfolio Assessment and Description Tests in Improving the Learning Outcomes of Grade IV Students of SDN 009 Sendayan
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of portfolio assessment and essay tests in improving the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 009 Sendayan. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The sample consisted of two classes; one class received treatment using portfolio assessment, while the other class used essay tests. Data were collected through pretests, posttests, and observations of students' motivation, engagement, and responsibility during the learning process. Quantitative data analysis was conducted by calculating mean scores, mastery levels, and gain scores to measure students' learning improvement. The results indicated that portfolio assessment was more effective than essay tests. The average posttest score of students in the portfolio group reached 83.7, with a mastery level of 95% and a gain score of 0.63 (medium–high category), whereas the essay test group only achieved an average posttest score of 72.9, a mastery level of 35%, and a gain score of 0.29 (low–medium category). In addition to improving learning outcomes, portfolio assessment enhanced students' motivation, responsibility, and engagement, while allowing teachers to monitor learning progress over time. Essay tests were effective for assessing deep conceptual understanding but were less capable of capturing long-term learning processes. These findings suggest that implementing portfolio assessment better supports the improvement of learning outcomes and student engagement in primary school learning.
