This study aims to analyze the strategy of optimizing the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in the digital era in elementary schools. Augmented Reality is a technology that unites the real world with the virtual world through smartphones, thus enabling a more interactive and immersive learning experience. Augmented Reality (AR) technology in education allows students to visualize the concept of learning materials that are difficult to understand. This research identifies the implementation of Augmented Reality technology in the learning process. The incorporation of virtual and real elements not only makes learning material more interesting, but also makes it easier for learners to understand and remember. The research methodology used is qualitative with data collection through observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman data analysis model. Fieldresult show that the implementation of ugmented Reality technology in the learning process helps visualize learning materials and makes learning more interesting, so that students are enthusiastic in the learning process. In the implementation of Augmented Reality technology, of course, there are obstacles that become obstacles to the learning process, the obstacles include lack of device storage, unstable internet networks, and limited encyclopedia books for scanning. To overcome these obstacles, strategies are needed to optimize the use of Augmented Reality technology, including teacher training, providing sufficient space on the device, network stability, ad adequate encyclopedias.

In the 21st century, civilization and technology are advancing, so students need more than just theoretical abilities; they need to develop creative and innovative abilities that can balance the abilities required for the future. Project-based learning emerged as one of the effective alternatives, which provides opportunities for students to be directly involved in real experiential learning and allows them to apply what they have learned to various conditions in everyday life. Therefore, this study aims to illustrate how project-based learning can optimize the intellectual intelligence of elementary school students, especially class V-B cultural arts and crafts material written batik. This method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with informants, namely class teachers and students V-B SDN Dadaprejo 01. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that project-based learning strategies contribute to better intellectual intelligence. Students' ability to carry out activities, actively discuss, and complete tasks shows their intellectual intelligence. Their great curiosity and critical questions during learning reflect their interest in learning and developed thinking. This positively impacts their academic achievement and equips them to face future educational challenges.

The preservation of local cultural heritage is one of the essential things that need to be considered in developing the character of the younger generation. In Indonesia, regional cultures are very varied and rich in values that are aesthetic and provide education. Local culture includes traditions, arts, customs, languages, and handicraft products that reflect the identity of a region. However, with globalization and technological advances, attention to preserving local culture is declining, especially among the youth. One way to overcome this problem is to integrate local culture into the teaching and learning process at school. Every grade 3 elementary school student must master Javanese writing and language skills. Most students find the skill of writing Javanese script very difficult to master. Learning to write Javanese scripts in elementary school needs to be studied to determine the teacher's teaching method in class. This study aims to analyze the ability of students to recognize, write, and read Javanese script letters after applying multisensory methods and describe the process of applying multisensory methods in learning Javanese script in class IV elementary school. This study uses descriptive qualitative research methods with data collection through observation, interviews, documentation, and research subjects, namely grade IV students and class teachers. The teacher uses the multisensory method, which involves using various senses in the learning process. The study results are expected to help other researchers compile Javanese language research, add insight into knowledge for readers in the field of education, and can be applied practically in the classroom as a form of learning.

This study aims to determine the strength of integrity and sustainability of local wisdom in its application in elementary schools. The method used in this research is a systematic literature review that collects various literature or journals. The results of this study show that the integrity of local wisdom in education in elementary schools is one of the essential foundations in shaping students' character, identity, and connection with local culture. Many studies emphasize the values of local wisdom, such as gotong royong, mutual respect, preserving cultural heritage, and teaching the values of perseverance and determination through folklore and traditions. In addition, implementing local wisdom into the learning curriculum is a practical approach and provides significant strength in supporting sustainable development for future generations. Hence, it is essential to cooperate with the government, schools, teachers, and the surrounding community to support the implementation of local wisdom.

This study was motivated by the low understanding of mathematical concepts in students. This study aims to analyze the ability to understand mathematical concepts of geometry material in grade V students. This type of research is descriptive quantitative research. The instruments used were tests, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. The results showed that the ability to understand concepts in class V students was low, which was shown based on the test results with the results of 3 students in the high category, 6 students in the medium category, and 2 students in the low category. Factors influencing this low understanding include less varied teaching methods, lack of visual aids, learning resource support, and lack of student motivation. This study contributes to educators in improving geometry teaching methods with more variety and involving relevant visual aids, as well as motivating students, to improve better concept understanding in elementary school students

The Adversity Quotient (AQ) is a measure of a person's resilience in adversity and ability to solve problems in Mathematics. In this study, the solution to the two-dimensional shape problem of grade 3 elementary school students was explained based on the adversity quotient. This type of descriptive exploration is used to conduct qualitative research. Three grade III students of SD Muhammadiyah 9 Malang City were involved in this study representing 3 categories of AQ. The tools used are written exam questions, interview guidelines, and observations. One question related to the circumference of a two-dimensional shape is given in the form of a written test. This study analyzed the learning outcomes of three third-grade students through four stages: data transcription, data selection, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed two problem-solving patterns based on the AQ category. The first pattern is understanding the problem, planning the problem-solving, executing the plan, and looking back is done by the category of quitters and campers. The second pattern of understanding the problem, planning the problem solving, executing the plan, understanding the problem, planning the problem solving, executing the plan, and looking back is done with the category of climbers.

One of difficulty student in study mathematics that is how to finish math narrative text. The purpose of research this that is for describe about effectiveness of the bar model for finish math narrative text for school base. Type of research used in study that is descriptive qualitative, with 22 of students in third grade as a research subject. Moreover, this research was conducted in State Elementary School 01 of Beji Junrejo Disctrict, Batu – East Java. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews and tests. Furthermore from the data obtained analyzed in a way qualitative with use stage: data reduction, data presentation, and withdrawal data conclusions. The research results show that the bar model is very effective help student in finish math narrative text this elementary school student capable draw a bar model for represent mark in mathematics. This is can help they in answer question with more easy and doable develop number sense ability.
