The purpose of this research is to develop teaching materials in the form of interactive e-modules with a scientific approach to Buddhist material and cultural diversity in Indonesia. This research and development is carried out because the learning process in schools is still conventional, namely the lecture method, and is fixated on the guidebook, and the use of media has not been carried out optimally. The delivery of each material requires a more attractive display and other supporting sources so that it is easy for students to understand. Along with technology development in the learning process, media can be used in learning materials, such as e-module teaching material products. So that students are expected to more easily understand the material and learning becomes more effective and efficient. The method used in this study is research and development or research and development (R and D) level 3. The steps used are several steps, namely researching and developing existing products. The subject of this research is students. The data collection technique uses observation sheets for product validation, the one-group pretest-posttest method, and analysis techniques using paired samples test. The overall assessment results given by the validators of material experts, media, and Buddhist teachers received an average score of 4.31 with a percentage of 86% in the very decent category.

Using data from the National Center for Educational Statistics research spanning fifteen years, researchers examined the impact of national educational policy implementation on the role of social studies in elementary schools. Specifically, with the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2007 and the continuation of federal-mandated testing of English language arts (ELA) and mathematics in grades three through five, researchers sought to understand how policy decisions to extend testing to science affected teacher decisions in regard to instructional time allocations for core subject areas of ELA, mathematics, science, and social studies in elementary schools. Results of this quantitative study offer large-scale evidence of the declining role of social studies in an era in which testing is clearly linked to subject-area importance. Findings provide an overview of the national scope of testing and the ramifications for social studies in elementary schools. Researchers conclude that curriculum standardization, accountability, and high-stakes testing have had adverse affects on social studies time allotments in comparison to tested subjects.

Abstract. Indonesia has many cultures, traditions, and customs that are not widely known by the younger generation.

This article aims to explain the contribution of creative economic development in the effort to lift local cultural diversity in Indonesia, which is examined in the perspective of anthropology. Through a two-month literature study, The authors found that the development of the creative economy at least resulted in two implications of reducing community economic gaps and efforts to foster cultural work in Indonesia. The first implications show that according to the survei of Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) and Badan Ekonomi Kreatif (Bekraf), the contribution of creative economy to the country's income are large and increase continuously. The second implication shows that the potential to explore cultural diversity in Indonesia is one of them by developing a distinctive cultural product that is locally characterized. In anthropology perspective, culture and creative economy have a correlation which both come from an infinite human idea. Through ideas, both finds their base in converting social capital into economic capital and vice versa

This study addresses the issue of low student learning outcomes attributed to the frequent use of conventional teaching methods by educators in elementary schools. The Introduction, Connect, Apply, Reflect, and Extend (ICARE) learning model is proposed as a potential solution to enhance these outcomes. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of implementing the ICARE learning model on students' cognitive learning outcomes in science and social studies (IPAS) in elementary schools. Additionally, the study compares the improvement of cognitive outcomes between students taught using the ICARE model and those taught using traditional methods. This quasi-experimental research employs a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The findings reveal that the application of the ICARE learning model significantly influences cognitive learning outcomes in IPAS subjects, with an effect size of 46.2%. Furthermore, students instructed through the ICARE model demonstrate greater improvement in cognitive learning outcomes compared to those who receive conventional instruction.
