Abstract

Science learning in elementary school requires media that can help students understand concepts more realistically. One of the media that can be used is a miniature eruption volcano that can simulate the process of volcanic eruptions in a simple way. This study aims to find out how the use of miniature mountain media erupts in improving the skills and understanding of grade IV elementary school students. The method used in this study is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Data was obtained through observation during the learning process. The results of the study show that the use of miniature media of erupting mountains is able to increase students' enthusiasm, activeness, and understanding of natural phenomena material. Through simple experimental activities, students can learn directly, discuss with groups, and more easily understand the process of volcanic eruptions. Thus, the miniature media of erupting mountains can be an effective alternative learning media in science science learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

One of the demands of 21st century education is the development of creative thinking skills from the elementary school level, because these skills are the basis for students to generate new ideas, provide alternative answers, and solve problems independently. This study aims to analyze the use of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model assisted by Puzzle Flashcard media in supporting students' creative thinking skills in learning Indonesian language of noun and adjectives in grade II of SDN Beberan 2. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with classroom teachers as the main informants and students as supporting informants. Data was collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and student work results, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study show that the application of the CTL model assisted by Puzzle Flashcard media creates concrete, active, and meaningful learning. Students become more enthusiastic, dare to answer, and work together. Creative thinking skills are seen in the smoothness of producing ideas, the flexibility to provide alternative answers, the authenticity of arranging word pairs, and the elaboration of explaining reasons and developing words into sentences. The CTL model assisted by Puzzle Flashcard media can be an effective alternative to learning Indonesian to support the creative thinking skills of elementary school students.
