Abstract

This study aims to analyze semantic concepts in the development of Indonesian literacy competencies of elementary school students. This research is motivated by the low ability of students to understand the meaning of texts and apply semantic concepts in language activities. The research uses the systematic literature review (SLR) method by searching Sinta and Google Scholar indexed articles for the period 2015–2025 that are relevant to semantics and literacy topics in elementary schools. The results of the analysis show that semantics plays an important role in the formation of text meaning, vocabulary mastery, and the ability to compose sentences effectively. Semantic learning models such as concept maps, contextual meaning analysis, and contextual word games have been proven to be effective in improving students' critical thinking skills and understanding of meaning. These findings are in line with the principles of the independent curriculum which emphasizes meaning- and text-based learning. This study concludes that semantic reinforcement needs to be supported by the active role of teachers, adaptive curriculum, and contextual learning media to build meaningful literacy in elementary school students.
