One of the problems in the learning process for elementary school children is the lack of focus and concentration in learning because teachers often use conventional models and do not interactive. The failure to achieve mastery of learning is caused by students' weak understanding of the material being taught, and the lack of teacher creativity in developing learning models so that the learning outcomes obtained are less than optimal. The researcher aims to analyse the effect between the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model and learning motivation of elementary students on learning outcomes in PPKn subjects. In this study the quantitative experimental method was used with the pretest and posttest experimental designs used. The sample used was 30 students. Data collection techniques is using a pretest-posttest and giving questionnaires to students. The data analysis technique uses a two-way analysis of variance to test the hypothesis. However, a requirement test was carried out, which included a normality test and a homogeneity test. Based on the analysis of the results, there is a relationship between applying the PjBL learning model and learning motivation on the learning outcomes of Civics subjects in elementary schools. It was concluded that applying the PjBL learning model and learning motivation could improve student learning outcomes.
In societies where education holds high significance and parental ambitions for their children’s academic achievements are profound, understanding the rationale behind parental school choice becomes crucial. This study aims to explore the question: Are Saudi parents rational in selecting their children’s schools? Through an in-depth analysis of preferences and decision-making factors, this research endeavors to shed light on the intricate dynamics influencing parental school choice within the Saudi Arabian context. To achieve this objective, semi-structured interviews were conducted with Saudi parents whose children were enrolled in private schools (K-12). The findings indicate that cultural or religious identity emerged as a predominant factor, encompassing elements such as gender segregation in schools, parental preference for English over Arabic language learning, and the emphasis on Islamic religious education. Additionally, accessibility factors such as the physical location of the school and school fees emerged as significant determinants of parental preferences for their children’s schools. Wellbeing emerged as a crucial factor in parental decision-making. Furthermore, certain academic considerations emerged as a primary influencing factor in Saudi parents’ school selection. These considerations included skills development, school pedagogy, school staff quality, and learning outcomes.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Physical Education (PE) learning in instilling and familiarizing positive character values in elementary school children. Character education is becoming increasingly important in the challenging era of globalization, where the flow of foreign cultures and the influence of social media can hinder the development of children's character. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach involving 20 students, 5 parents of students, 2 teachers, and 1 principal at Elementary School Angkasa I Lanud Sutan Syahrir Padang. Data were collected through observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that PE activities are an effective medium in instilling character values such as discipline, cooperation, and responsibility. Teachers act as role models in teaching these values, while parental support strengthens character habits outside of school. Although effective, there are several challenges in its implementation, such as time constraints and lack of training for teachers. This study conveys that PE has great potential to contribute to the formation of a young generation that is not only physically healthy but also strong in character.
