The younger generation acts as the pillar and spearhead of the nation's future, so that students must have good social attitudes in society and as a state. Social studies learning has a very important role in creating social attitudes in each student. The role of social studies learning, apart from developing aspects of students' knowledge, understanding and analytical skills regarding the social conditions of society, social studies learning is also predicted to play an active role in forming students' social attitudes. This research method uses literature review studies such as journals, articles, books and other sources related to social studies learning, instilling social attitudes in students, as well as the role of teachers in instilling social attitudes in each student. The results of this research reveal that the process of forming social attitudes, especially in the context of social studies learning, is an important aspect that must be carried out by teachers in the classroom in educating students. Activities to instill social attitudes through social studies learning can be instilled through social studies learning. Social studies learning can be implemented by incorporating social attitude values into students through strategies or learning systems that involve imitation elements or concrete model rolls through the habituation of other social attitudes such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, tolerance, mutual cooperation, politeness or politeness. , and confident. Social attitudes will be embedded and reflected in daily activities as seen from the learning process implemented by the teacher in social studies learning in the classroom.</p> 2024-06-22T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Herman, Prita Widya, Nika Nurhalisah, Diah Setiawati, Nurfika Lita https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/6531 Identification of Children with Learning Barriers (Dysgraphia) and Treatment in Elementary School 2024-01-08T08:24:53+00:00 Muhammad Fakhri Saifudin q200220022@student.ums.ac.id Yustri Mindaryani q200220022@student.ums.ac.id Susi Lestari q200220022@student.ums.ac.id Minsih q200220022@student.ums.ac.id Choiriyah Widyastuti q200220022@student.ums.ac.id <p><em>Background</em>: Education in elementary schools certainly has the aim of properly realizing the function of national education. However, without realizing it, in carrying out national functions certain obstacles come from both students and teachers. One of the obstacles that is often encountered is dysgraphia. Where dysgraphia is a difficulty experienced by children in reading due to poor writing and spelling in children. Therefore, researchers in this study have the aim of identifying learning barriers and handling them in one of the elementary schools in Sukoharjo Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach.

Teachers are crucial for our nation's future and are essential implementers and integrators of technology in classrooms. They are responsible for innovative use of technology, as it enhances efficiency and effectiveness in everyday life. ICT comprehensively combines computer and telecommunication technology. <em>Aim: </em>They are also commonly used for the certification of competence, to monitor educational standards, and to provide learners with feedback. The qualitative aspect of assessment and evaluation in the field of education has a cutting-edge relationship with students’ academics.<em> Method:</em> Teachers no doubt are saddled with many responsibilities which range from writing lesson plans and notes to instructional delivery and assessment. Hence there is a need for teachers to span to the innovation technology is offering by embracing technological-based assessment. This paper explored the roles of technology in bridging the gap between the paper-pencil assessment to technology-enhanced assessment and proffered strategies on how these assessment apps can be used in the classroom. The study revealed that there are free assessment applications teachers can use to grade students, thereby reducing their workloads. It was therefore recommended among others that training and seminars should be organised for teachers to enlighten them on technology-based assessment. <em>Result and Discussions: </em>Teachers need to take cognizance of the relevancy of the technological tools. It was further pointed out that while observing the relevance of the technology resources, there should be congruence between the tech tools and instructional curriculum. Other factors to be considered are the; appropriateness of the content and alignment with the learning goals. Teachers need to have clear-cut goals before selecting any technology for assessment. Among the common goals to be considered are; efficiency, cost, end-user proficiency, collaboration, and capacity. <em>Conclusıon: </em>Assessment is vital to the education process. Online assessment can help learners engage more effectively and flexibly in knowledge and can help teachers manage assessment more proficiently and efficiently.</p> 2024-06-22T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Samuel Adenubi Onasanya, Abdu Danyaro, Justina Ojoma Attah https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/6415 Enhancing Learning Experience: A Study of Students' Needs for Pocket Books in the Digital Era 2023-12-25T13:06:00+00:00 Rahmi Syafriyeti syafriyetirahmi@gmail.com Ribut Wahyu Eriyanti syafriyetirahmi@gmail.com Ainur Rofiq syafriyetirahmi@gmail.com Atok Miftahul Huda syafriyetirahmi@gmail.com <p>Background: the religious values play a crucial role in shaping the character and morals of students, and understanding the views of lecturers regarding this matter can provide profound insights to enhance higher education.
