Previous research This study was to understand the relationship between the three components of Planned Behavior Theory and the mediating effect of these components on the relationship between Entrepreneurship education and Self-efficacy on Entrepreneurial intentions among experienced students in Vietnam. The findings show that Entrepreneurship education has a direct positive effect on attitudes towards entrepreneurship, control of perceived behavior and subjective norms Entrepreneurship of engineering students in Vietnam. These findings are consistent with many previous studies have confirmed the role of entrepreneurship education in shaping students' entrepreneurial intentions. The main goal of this approach is to obtain empirical data that can be used in testing theoretical models through statistical analysis. Based on the results show that entrepreneurial self confidence (ESC), significantly mediated the relationship between Entrepreneurial Value (EV) and Entrepreneurial Interest (EI). Entrepreneurial values (EV) and Entrepreneurial Interests (EI) significantly mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial self confidence (ESC) and entrepreneurial interest (EI). The values that individuals believe in relation to the world of entrepreneurship strengthen their intention to become entrepreneurs. A number of studies have shown that entrepreneurship education at the elementary level can play an important role in shaping students' attitudes and interests in entrepreneurship in the future.

Analysis of Students' Creative Thinking Abilities in Science Learning in Elementary Schools

2025-05-20T20:53:26+07:00

Creative thinking is a skill that student must posses to support the mastery of 21 st-century skills. In natural science (IPA) learning, this ability plays a role in facilitating students to create ideas, innovation, and constructive thinking. This research aims to explore the level of creative thinking ability of fourth-grade students in science learning at the elementary school level. The type of research used is the qualitative descriptive method. The subject of the research were 50 students, consisting of 28 female students and 22 male students. The data collection technique was carried out through observation, test, and documentation. The research instrument consist of eight essay question formulated based out five indicators of creative thinking ability, namely fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, and metaphorical thinking. The data analysis technique used was source triangulation. The result of the data analysis show that the aspect of fluency dominates the students achievement, followed by flexibility. Meanwhile, originality, elaboration, and metaphorical thinking fall into the less satisfactory category. These findings indicate that students tend to be able to present original ideas, but still need reinforcement in flexible thinking as well as in the use of analogies or metaphors.

The Influence of Self-Efficacy on the Understanding of Science Concepts in Elementary Schools: A Meta-Regression Analysis

2025-05-20T20:54:49+07:00

This research aims to determine the extent to which self-efficacy affects students' understanding of science concepts, specifically in terms of translation, interpretation, and extrapolation abilities. These aspects reflect students’ cognitive skills in explaining, interpreting, and predicting scientific phenomena. The research design used is a quantitative approach with a survey method and non-experimental design. The sample of this study amounted to 50 students, consisting of 22 girls and 27 boys from five elementary schools that are part of Gugus 1 in Pasawahan District, selected through purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques were carried out using tests in the form of test items measuring science concept understanding and non-tests in the form of questionnaires to measure student self-efficacy. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to test the relationship between self-efficacy and understanding of science concepts. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and understanding of science concepts, with a Pearson correlation of 0.341 (p<0.05). This finding indicates that students with a high level of self-efficacy have a better understanding of science concepts. The contribution of this research is to strengthen the understanding of the importance of self-efficacy in science learning. This research is also significant for the development of learning methods that can increase students' self-efficacy to improve understanding of science concepts in the future.

The Effectiveness of Learning Motivation on Science Literacy in Elementary School Students

2025-05-20T21:07:58+07:00

This study aims to analyze the relationship between learning motivation and science literacy in primary school students. Motivation is an important factor in learning, while science literacy plays a role in developing critical and analytical thinking skills. Using a quantitative approach and correlational survey design, data were obtained from a sample size of 50 students (n = 50) from five public elementary schools in Cirebon, Indonesia. The research instrument consisted of a Likert scale questionnaire to measure the level of motivation as well as a written test to assess science literacy. The results of descriptive statistical analysis showed that students' motivation level was high, with an mean score of 31.82 out of 40. In contrast, science literacy was in the medium category, with an mean score of 16.02 out of 26. The correlational findings indicated that high motivation does not always go hand in hand with improved science literacy. This suggests that internal motivation needs to be balanced with relevant and contextualized learning strategies. Thus, effective science education demands an integrated approach that not only facilitates students' affective aspects but also enriches learning experiences through explorative and meaningful methods. The main contribution of this study lies in emphasizing the importance of integration.

Investigating the Impact of Self-Efficacy on Elementary Students’ Mathematical Problem-Solving Skills

2025-05-20T21:07:39+07:00

This study aims to investigate the relationship between academic self-efficacy and mathematical problem-solving among elementary school students in Cirebon, Indonesia. With the increasing recognition of psychological factors in 21st-century education, especially in primary education, there is a need for empirical validation to understand how self-efficacy operates at this developmental stage. A quantitative correlational approach was utilized, involving 50 students from five public elementary schools, chosen through purposive sampling. Data collection involved validated mathematical problem-solving assessments and academic self-efficacy questionnaires. The instruments demonstrated acceptable reliability (Cronbach's alpha > 0.6) and content validity was confirmed by experts in the field. Statistical analyses included tests for normality and homogeneity, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. While the data were not normally distributed, they satisfied the assumptions of homogeneity. The results indicated no significant relationship between academic self-efficacy and problem-solving ability (r = -0.014, p = 0.922), with regression analysis further confirming its negligible predictive power (β = -0.029, p = 0.922). These findings imply that academic self-efficacy may not be a crucial determinant of mathematical problem-solving performance at the elementary level, possibly due to the students’ limited metacognitive development. Theoretically, this study contributes to the field of educational psychology by challenging the universality of self-efficacy's influence in early education. Practically, it prompts educators and policymakers to consider developmental readiness when creating interventions designed to enhance self-belief. Future research should investigate mediating variables such as cognitive strategies, emotional regulation, and classroom environment to better understand academic performance among early learners.
