Abstract

This study was motivated by students' challenges in understanding learning concepts in food chain material, which is often considered abstract and filled with new terms that are difficult to understand. Difficulties in distinguishing the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers, as well as remembering the flow of the food chain, are the main obstacles for students. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the E-Lintar Mobile App with integrated songs as an interactive, engaging, effective, and enjoyable learning medium that can enhance students' understanding of the taught material, thereby improving learning outcomes. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, with 30 fifth-grade students as the subjects. Data collection was conducted through tests and non-tests, then analyzed using normality tests, t-tests, and N-Gain calculations. The results showed that this application is highly feasible for use, with a feasibility rating of 95% from subject matter experts, 94% from media experts, 98.75% from teachers, and 96.09% from students. The effectiveness of the application was proven through a t-test on a small group with a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, while on a large group with a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, the results showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. The N-Gain test results for the small group were 0.7207, categorized as high, while the large group achieved 0.7518, also categorized as high. This study contributes to the innovation of technology-based learning media that supports students' critical thinking skills and facilitates teachers in integrating multimedia. Thus, the E-Lintar Mobile App with integrated songs supports concept understanding, improves memory, and creates a more engaging and interactive learning environment for science education, particularly on the topic of food chains at the elementary school level.      Keywords: e-lintar mobile app, songs, sience, problem-based learning.

Abstract

The abstract concept of energy transformation is a subject in the natural and social sciences that students frequently find difficult to comprehend. Conventional learning methods are less effective in enabling students to actively engage in the learning process and visualize energy transformation concepts. Consequently, students encounter challenges in comprehending the energy transformation process, the relationship between energy, and examples of objects. The goal of this study is to evaluate how effective problem-based learning, which includes PhET simulations, gamified quizzes, and songs, is in helping fourth-grade students at SD Negeri Losari better understand energy transformation concepts. The quasi-experimental method was employed in this study, with a nonequivalent control-group design. The experimental class IV A consisted of 21 students, while the control class IV B had 20 students. The total number of students in the sample was 41. The total sampling technique was employed in conjunction with nonprobability sampling. Teaching was conducted in the experimental class (IVA) through PhET simulation, gamification, problem-based learning, and melodies. In contrast, the control group (IV B) implemented conventional teaching methods in conjunction with instructional videos. The independent sample t-test and N-Gain test were the methods of statistical analysis. A significant improvement in learning outcomes was confirmed by the independent t-test, which yielded a p-value of less than 0.05. In contrast to the control class, which achieved an average N-Gain score of 0.2678 (low), the experiment class achieved an average N-Gain score of 0.6655 (moderate). This finding suggests that the conceptual comprehension of energy transformation is enhanced through the incorporation of gamified quizzes, songs, PhET simulations, and problem-based learning.    Keywords: PhET simulations, problem-based learning, song, quizzez, energy transformation.
