Abstract

Science instruction in elementary schools often remains teacher-centered, resulting in low student engagement and interest; this is evident in the teaching of plant-related topics to fifth-grade students at SDN Unyur. This study aims to describe the implementation of science instruction using the "Mini Garden Project" medium integrated with the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model, to assess student learning interest following this implementation, and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis involving fifth-grade teachers and students at SDN Unyur. The data were subsequently analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results indicate that instruction was conducted in accordance with the PjBL syntax ranging from defining the fundamental question to evaluating the experience and successfully boosted student learning interest, as evidenced by heightened attention, curiosity, engagement, active participation, and enthusiasm. Supporting factors included school backing, a suitable environment, and the availability of tools and materials, whereas inhibiting factors included time constraints and weather conditions. The study concludes that integrating an environment-based learning medium with the project-based learning model is effective in enhancing elementary students' interest in science learning.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low critical thinking ability of grade IV students of SDN Tembong 2 on the material Changes in Substance Form. The study aims to find out students' critical thinking skills and the influence of the Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) learning model on them. The study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of one group pretest-posttest, involving 40 students in grade IV (A) who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a description test based on critical thinking indicators at the cognitive level C4 and C5, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test assisted by SPSS 25. The results showed that the average pretest score of 12.33 increased to 22.33 in the posttest, with 34 out of 40 students in the medium category and 6 students in the high category. The Wilcoxon test produced an Asymp score. Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000 (< 0.05), so that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. It was concluded that the POGIL model had a significant effect on the critical thinking ability of grade IV students of SDN Tembong 2 on the material on Substance Form Change.
