The study aimed: (1) to describe the steps in implementing the CIRC model, (2) to improve Indonesian language learning outcomes through the application of the CIRC model, and (3) to describe the obstacles and solutions in implementing the CIRC model in improving Indonesian language learning outcomes. It was collaborative classroom action research conducted in two cycles. The subjects were teacher and students of fifth grade of SDN Tambakrejo. Data collection techniques were observation, interviews, and tests. Data analysis were data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusion. The results showed that: (1) the steps to the application of Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) model were: a) having orientation, b) forming group, c) distributing texts, d) having discussion, e) having presentation, f) drawing conclusions, and g) closing. (2) The application of CIRC model improved student Indonesian learning outcomes. The averages of student mastery in Indonesian language learning outcomes were 66.07% in cycle I and 85.71% in cycle II. (3) The obstacles were: the students were passive in asking questions, answering questions, and giving opinions. The solutions to overcome the obstacles were the teacher guided, motivated, and gave reward to students giving opinions and answering questions so that the students had courage to give opinions in front of the class. It concludes that the application of Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) model improves Indonesian language learning outcomes to fifth grade students of SDN Tambakrejo in academic year of 2019/2020.

The objectives of the research were to prove significant and positive correlation between reading interests and Indonesian language learning outcomes and to determine the contribution of reading interests on Indonesian language learning outcomes to fifth grade students in Pejagoan Sub-District in academic year of 2019/2020. The research was quantitative correlational study. The prerequisite test used the normality and linearity test. The data analysis included simple correlation test and adjusted R square with significance level of 5%. The results indicated that there was positive and significant relationship between reading interests and Indonesian language learning outcomes. The correlation was 0.539 and Adjusted R square of reading interests on Indonesian language learning outcomes was 22.62%. It concludes that there is significant and positive correlation between reading interests and Indonesian language learning outcomes to fifth grade students in Pejagoan sub-District in academic year of 2019/2020.

The study aimed: (1) to describe the steps of PBL with model materials, (2) to improve mathematics, and (3) to describe the constraints and solutions. It was a collaborative classroom action research (CAR) carried out in three cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were teachers and 20 students. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, and tests. Data analysis included data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that: (1) the steps to the application of PBL with model materials to improve mathematics about solid figures to fifth grade students of SD Negeri 1 Danasri in academic year of 2019/2020 were: (a) examining problem orientation with the model materials, (b) preparing the students to work in groups, (c) having the students to investigate individually or in groups with the help of model materials, (d) having presentation and discussion by using model materials; (e) analyzing and evaluating problem solving process with the help of model materials; (2) the application of PBL with model materials improved mathematics about solid figures. The average percentages of mastery learning were 85% in the first cycle, 90% in the second cycle, and 95% in the third cycle: (3) obstacles in each meeting were (a) a few students used the model materials as tools while learning process and having group discussions, (b) a few students asked questions. The solutions were: (a) the teacher introduced the model materials, (b) the teacher stimulated the students to ask questions.

Education must be able to integrate technology in learning in the classroom including advances in arts and skills education. The integration of technology, art and education is expected to be able to produce students who are creative in creating innovation and solving problems in life. Integrating art education, skills, industry and technology can by implementing alternative learning models namely Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics (STEAM) Education. The assessment aims to see students' perceptions about the application of STEAM in art learning. The purposive-design survey method was used in this study. A total of 112 students were involved as respondents. Survey results show that respondents have varying understandings about STEAM and tend to have positive perceptions. STEAM steps taken by researchers in art learning are focus, detail, discover, apply, present and link. The main obstacle faced by lecturers to implement the STEAM approach is that students are not accustomed to implementing online learning and STEAM is something new for them. This research can be a meaningful and critical feedback on the practice carried out because it is related to student experience.

Education is invesment for the future. The phrase discribed how attractiveness the future with prosperity, a society desirable. But it could not be reached without efforts from anyone who involved in education process. School, family, and society was centered of education. In those institution education held. So, it was plausibility disscuss the cooperation of those institution. Our focus disscuss was homework as medium to cooperate between school and family. The cooperation between one institution with onether for long time means empowering the institution it self. Homework is a time honored practice that can enhance the development of skills and reinforce knowledge gained within the classroom when it used effectively and appropriately. The purposes of homework serve three main functions instructional, communicative, and political. In instructional function, homework is natural extention of the curricular programs because it is an integral component of instruction. It can also serve as a vital link between theschool and family.

Natural phenomena formed on earth such as the formation of mountains can be used as a means for humans to always think and increase curiosity. In the world of education, natural phenomena can be used as a medium for learning. This study aims to analyze and study the legend of Gunung Wurung as a teaching material based on local wisdom and strengthening the character education in elementary school. The legend of Gunung Wurung is one of the folklore located Karangsambung area, Kebumen, Central Java. This research is a descriptive research. The research data was obtained from the results of observations and interviews with residents around the Karangsambung area and the results of the teacher perception questionnaire SDN 02 Kuwayuhan. Data analysis techniques used a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the analysis show that: 1) The legend of Gunung Wurung turned out to be less well known to residents around the Karangsambung area; 2) The legend of Gunung Wurung can be used as an alternative material in thematic learning in elementary schools based on local wisdom; 2) Character education values in the legend of Gunung Wurung include religious character, respect and obedience, cooperation, hard work, social care, patience, and commitment.

Integrated learning in elementary schools requires learning media as a means of communication. Research is needed on analysis of the media use of learning in elementary school learning. The purpose of this research is to examine how the elementary school teachers of perception and motivation to implement ICT-based learning media in learning activities. In this study using a quantitative approach to the type of survey, researchers used surveys, interviews and observations to collect data. The results of quantitative analysis of elementary school teachers are often categorized in learning media use. These results show that teachers have a good perception of the utilization of ICT in learning activities. However, to implement ICT-based media is not optimal.
