The results of the study showed that students faced three main types of obstacles, namely ontogeny obstacle (mental readiness, lack of motivation and enthusiasm), didactical obstacle (classical way of teaching and without involving students, less than optimal use of teaching materials using only LKS), and epistemology obstacle (limited context and also low mastery of material owned by students)
The PISA score in 2022 decreased by 12 points from the previous edition. This result is the lowest score on record and extends the downward trend in scores from the last five editions of the assessment. In reading tests, reading techniques and materials affect students' reading ability. This study aims to reveal the effect of reading materials and reading frequency on students' reading comprehension ability. Quantitative research was applied to 64 samples. The research data were collected using questionnaires and objective tests. The results showed that students who liked reading digital reading had better reading comprehension (mean rank: 36.58) than students who liked reading print (mean rank: 29.88). Based on the frequency of reading, students' interest in reading was classified as low: high (n= 1); medium (n= 15); and low (n= 48). Reading frequency was positively correlated with reading comprehension performance. High reading frequency has the best reading comprehension performance (mean rank: 62.00), medium frequency (mean rank: 38.33), and low frequency (mean rank: 30.06). Students' low interest in reading is a signal for interventions to develop students' interest in reading, which has implications for improving academic performance.

This research explains the role of parents in implementing the concept of "Merdeka Belajar" for children who have not yet pursued education in Makassar City, focusing on comparing traditional families and modern families. This research analyzes how traditional and modern families support and facilitate preschool children to learn independently. The research method involved surveys, interviews and observations of families representing both groups. The results illustrate significant differences in the approaches and practices of parents from traditional families and modern families towards the concept of "Independent Learning." There is a difference in approach between traditional and modern families supporting independent learning for preschool-age children. Traditional families tend to use more conventional methods, such as reading stories, providing particular time for learning, and showing patience when children have not mastered the material. Meanwhile, modern families utilize more digital media in the learning process. However, traditional and modern families try to stimulate children's curiosity, show appreciation, and create an exciting learning environment. Both face challenges, such as easily bored children with difficulty concentrating. Another difference lies in integrating learning activities with daily activities, which traditional families tend to do, while modern families utilize technology more in the learning process. There are differences in how parents can play a role in encouraging learning independence in preschool children in Makassar city.
