Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve students' understanding of the Concept through the application of contextual learning on fraction material in grade IV of SDN 066048/IV Medan City. This study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method with the Kemmis and McTaggart model consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection in each cycle. The subjects of this study were 28 grade IV students. Data collection was carried out through observation, learning outcome tests, and documentation, then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Learning success is marked by a minimum of 75% of students achieving the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) of 75. The study was conducted in two cycles. In cycle I, the student completion rate reached 66.6% (sufficient category), while in cycle II it increased to 82.0% (good category). The results showed that the application of contextual learning gradually increased student activity, individual responsibility, and group cooperation. Improvements made in cycle II, such as clearer explanations of learning objectives, the use of supporting media, and the formation of heterogeneous learning groups, had a positive impact on student learning outcomes. Thus, contextual learning has proven to be effective in improving students' understanding of the concept of fractions

Abstract

This study examines how Ruma Bolon-based IPAS instruction can strengthen elementary students' critical thinking skills while sustaining Toba Batak cultural values as learning resources. Using an explanatory mixed-methods design, the study involved 30 fourth-grade students in Medan Helvetia District. Quantitative data were gathered through a validated critical-thinking test, supported by interviews, classroom observations, questionnaires, and documentation. Instrument validation showed strong content validity (CVI = 0.91), valid item coefficients (0.42-0.81), and high reliability for the critical-thinking test (Cronbach's alpha = 0.88) and student perception questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha = 0.86). The quantitative findings showed increases in analytical skills from 40% to 70%, synthesis skills from 50% to 75%, and evaluation skills from 60% to 80%; the average score rose from approximately 65% to 85%. A paired-sample t-test confirmed the improvement, t(29) = 16.84, p < 0.001, with a large effect size (Cohen's d = 1.92) and a normalized gain of approximately 0.60. Qualitative findings indicated that Ruma Bolon symbols, spatial organization, and values such as cooperation and social harmony helped students relate IPAS concepts to familiar cultural experiences. The integration of local culture made classroom discussion, project work, and evaluation tasks more meaningful. These findings suggest that culturally grounded IPAS instruction can support critical thinking, creativity, and cultural appreciation when it is designed through clear learning indicators and valid assessment procedures.

Abstract

Mathematics is a fundamental subject in elementary education because it develops students' logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and conceptual understanding. However, many elementary students continue to experience difficulties in learning mathematics due to teacher-centered instructional practices, limited student interaction, and insufficient use of innovative learning media. These conditions often result in low learning outcomes, particularly in understanding the concepts of the area and perimeter of plane figures. Therefore, effective instructional strategies that promote active learning and meaningful student engagement are needed. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Pair Check Cooperative Learning Model assisted by Wordwall media on the mathematics learning outcomes of Grade V students at UPT SD Negeri 018 Aeklung, Humbang Hasundutan Regency, during the 2025/2026 academic year. This research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design. The participants consisted of 27 Grade V students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using mathematics achievement tests and a student response questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality testing, Pearson Product–Moment correlation, coefficient of determination, and t-test analysis. The findings revealed that students' mean score increased from 61.30 on the pre-test to 73.63 on the post-test, indicating improved mathematics achievement after the intervention. Statistical analyses also demonstrated a significant positive effect of the Pair Check Cooperative Learning Model assisted by Wordwall media on students' mathematics learning outcomes. The study concludes that integrating cooperative learning with interactive digital media creates an engaging learning environment that enhances conceptual understanding, active participation, collaboration, and mathematics achievement among elementary school students.

Abstract

This literacy and numeracy tutoring program is based on initial observations that found many students, both in lower and higher grades, still struggle with basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. To address this issue, students were grouped according to their respective weaknesses in difficult school subjects, with special groups for learning to read or count. The aim was to make students feel comfortable and at ease so that they could participate well in learning activities. The result was a very high level of student participation. Students also showed significant improvement in basic skills (reading, writing, and arithmetic) after being grouped according to their needs and weaknesses in the subject matter (reading/writing/arithmetic).

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model on the learning outcomes of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) in fourth-grade students of SDN 060914 Medan Sunggal in the 2025/2026 academic year. The main problem in this study is the low learning outcomes of students in IPAS caused by monotonous conventional learning, centered on the teacher, and the lack of use of visual media. This type of research is quantitative with an experimental method (Pre-Experimental Design) in the form of One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The study population includes all fourth-grade students of SDN 060914 Medan Sunggal, totaling 54 students. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling technique, so that class IVB, totaling 27 students, was selected as the experimental class. Data collection techniques used multiple-choice tests, student response questionnaires, and documentation. The research instrument was tested for validity using the Product Moment correlation formula and for reliability using Cronbach's Alpha using SPSS 22. The test results showed a reliability index of 0.936 for the test item and 0.904 for the questionnaire, both of which are considered very strong. A significant improvement in students' social studies learning outcomes after implementing the Jigsaw learning model was demonstrated through a hypothesis test (t-test) with a significance value (2-tailed) of <0.05. Furthermore, student questionnaire responses indicated a very positive response to the implemented model.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of third-grade students at SD Swasta HKBP Padang Bulan Medan in the Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subject, particularly on the topic of Indonesian Landforms. The purpose of this study was to improve students' learning outcomes through the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles. The participants were 26 third-grade students of SD Swasta HKBP Padang Bulan Medan in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through learning outcome tests and observation sheets of teacher and student activities. The results showed a significant improvement in students' learning outcomes in each cycle. In the pre-test stage, only 4 students (15.38%) achieved mastery learning with an average score of 44.53. After the implementation of the CTL model in Cycle I, the number of students achieving mastery increased to 9 students (34.61%) with an average score of 63.92. In Cycle II, the number of students achieving mastery learning increased to 20 students (76.92%) with an average score of 77.69. Teacher activity improved from 66% in Cycle I to 86% in Cycle II, while student activity increased from 58% to 80%. These findings indicate that the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model effectively improves students' learning outcomes by connecting learning materials to students' real-life experiences. The study was considered successful because it achieved the predetermined success indicator, namely a classical learning mastery level of 75%.
