Abstract

The present study analyses the needs and readiness for implementing Science and Social Studies (IPAS) learning based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) integrated with local wisdom values, particularly the Toba Nauli cultural philosophy, at the elementary school level. Motivated by the low science literacy of Indonesian students as revealed in the 2022 PISA results and the lack of contextual relevance in IPAS content, the research adopts a mixed-methods design combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, document analysis, and Likert-scale questionnaires involving 20 teachers and 40 students across four elementary schools in Medan. The research results show that teachers have a positive perception of the importance of PjBL and science literacy, as well as a high belief in the relevance of Toba Nauli values in IPAS learning (M = 4.20; SD = 0.68). However, the limitations of teaching modules, lack of training, and low use of local media have made cultural integration in learning not optimally implemented. On the other hand, students show high enthusiasm for project-based learning. However, their actual experience with learning incorporating local culture is minimal (only 15% of students reported having experienced it). These findings indicate a significant potential yet to be realised within the current IPAS learning system. Therefore, this research recommends developing a PjBL-based IPAS learning model that incorporates the Toba Nauli philosophy as a foundation for the local context to enhance students' science literacy in a meaningful, contextual, and culturally rooted manner. These findings are expected to serve as a conceptual and empirical foundation in designing transformative learning innovations in elementary schools.

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

Lead (Pb) is one of dangerous heavy metals that is toxic for human bodies. Lead can be found in the air in the form of air pollution which is produced by the fuel of motor vehicles. According to WHO, in 1995, the level of lead inside the human body can be divided into three levels which are, low (<10ppm), moderate (10-20 ppm), otherwise high (>20ppm) according to the category of pollution. A pedicab driver and a street vendor who frequent the street will surely very often be exposed to vehicle fumes which contains lead (Pb). This experiment is aimed to find out the level of Pb in the hair of pedicab drivers and street vendors around Kapten Muslim Street, Medan. From the overall population is randomly taken each 4 (four) hair samples from pedicab drivers and street vendors, and then continued with an examination using AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). From the result of the experiment, overall obtained that 1 (one) out of the rest is within the high level of toxicity (20,138 ppm), and then 2 (two) within the moderate level of toxicity (10,697 - 16,69 ppm), and 5 (five) others within the low level of toxicity (0,862≈4,533 ppm). This shows that almost all pedicab drivers and street vendors around the Kapten Muslim Street, Medan are already poisoned with heavy metal, Pb, inside their bodies.

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

Science and social studies learning in elementary schools still faces challenges related to students’ low learning outcomes due to limited active participation in the learning process. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) cooperative learning model on the science and social studies learning outcomes of fifth-grade elementary school students. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 28 fifth-grade students at Sukamaju Catholic Elementary School, Medan Sunggal, selected through total sampling. The research instrument was a learning achievement test administered before and after the implementation of the NHT model. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a normality test, and a paired sample t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that students’ mean pretest score was 57.3, which increased to 84.7 in the posttest, indicating an improvement of 27.4 points. After the implementation of the NHT model, 22 students, or 79%, achieved the learning objective achievement criteria. The paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between students’ learning outcomes before and after the treatment. Therefore, the Numbered Heads Together cooperative learning model had a positive and significant effect on fifth-grade students’ science and social studies learning outcomes. This model can be used as an active learning alternative that promotes cooperation, responsibility, and student engagement in understanding science and social studies material.

Abstract

This study was conducted at SD Negeri 076098 Dao-Dao involving 30 fifth-grade students as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. The research was motivated by the low level of student activeness, understanding, and creativity due to the dominance of conventional teaching methods. To address this issue, a Project Based Learning (PjBL) model based on Nias local cultural wisdom was implemented on the topic “Oh, Damaged Environment.” The study aimed to determine the effect of the PjBL model on students’ creativity in IPAS learning. The research employed an experimental method with a pretest-posttest design. Research instruments included learning achievement tests and creativity questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability (r = 0.899). The results showed an increase in the average score from 55.4 in the pretest to 82.93 in the posttest, with 26 out of 30 students achieving mastery learning. The questionnaire results indicated a very positive response with an average score of 86.80. The normality test showed that the data were normally distributed (Lcount 0.1167 < Ltable 0.161), while the correlation test produced rcount 0.975 > rtable 0.361, indicating a very strong relationship between the PjBL model and students’ creativity. The hypothesis test showed tcount 23.442 > ttable 1.697, thus Ha was accepted. The increase in creativity was observed in aspects of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Therefore, the Project Based Learning model based on Nias local cultural wisdom has a positive and significant effect on enhancing students’ creativity in IPAS learning at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low mathematics learning outcomes of third-grade students at UPT SD Negeri 060922 Medan Sunggal on addition and subtraction of thousands. Of 23 students, 16 (69.6%) did not achieve the minimum learning achievement criteria of 70. This study aimed to determine the effect of the edutainment learning method assisted by Monopoly media on students’ mathematics learning outcomes. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample consisted of 23 students selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using a 25-item multiple-choice test and a 20-item student response questionnaire. Data analysis included normality testing, correlation analysis, coefficient of determination, and t-test. The results showed that the mean pretest score of 64.35 increased to 82.26 in the posttest. The correlation test yielded r = 0.906, which was higher than r-table = 0.433, indicating a very strong relationship. The coefficient of determination revealed that 82.08% of the improvement in learning outcomes was influenced by the implementation of the edutainment method assisted by Monopoly media. The t-test result showed t = 9.81 > 1.721, indicating that the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Therefore, the edutainment learning method assisted by Monopoly media had a positive and significant effect on students’ mathematics learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model with a differentiated learning approach on students’ critical thinking skills in Science and Social Studies (IPAS) on the topic of Changes in States of Matter in Grade IV of SD Santo Thomas 2 Medan in the 2025/2026 academic year. The study was motivated by the low level of students’ critical thinking skills, as indicated by learning outcomes that had not yet reached the Minimum Learning Achievement Criteria and by teacher-centered instructional practices. This research employed a quantitative approach using a Quasi-Experimental Design with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 24 students in the experimental class (IVB) and 24 students in the control class (IVA). Data were collected through tests, questionnaires, observations, and documentation. Data analysis included normality testing, homogeneity testing, Independent Sample t-Test, and N-Gain analysis. The findings revealed that the posttest mean score of the experimental class was 73.31, higher than that of the control class at 62.71. The hypothesis test showed a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.001 < 0.05, indicating that H₀ was rejected and Ha was accepted. The N-Gain score of the experimental class was 0.60, categorized as moderate, with an effectiveness level of 60.46% (fairly effective). In addition, the questionnaire results showed an average score of 83.11, categorized as very good. Therefore, the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model with a differentiated learning approach has a significant effect on improving students’ critical thinking skills in IPAS learning.
