Abstract

The perception of complexity and a lack of real-world relevance often hinder elementary school students' interest in robotics. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of creative project-based learning in building a strong foundation in robotics and enhancing student engagement at SD Margorejo 1 Surabaya. By integrating design thinking principles and project-based learning, this approach sought to create authentic and meaningful learning experiences. Employing a qualitative case study methodology with a participatory action research design, fifth-grade students were involved in a series of robotics projects designed to address real-world problems in their local environment. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and project artifact analysis. The findings revealed that creative project-based learning significantly increased students' interest in robotics. Students not only grasped fundamental robotics concepts but also developed critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills. Moreover, this approach effectively strengthened students' understanding of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts and fostered awareness of robotics' relevance in daily life. This study concludes that creative project-based learning is an effective strategy for building a strong robotics foundation and cultivating student interest at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of project-based learning in increasing technological literacy in elementary school students. Activities were carried out for three months for 25 class V students at SDN Margorejo 1 Surabaya. The material includes an introduction to basic electronic components, sensors, and simple robot assembly such as line follower and obstacle avoidance. The research used a mixed-method approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The main instruments are a technology literacy test and a participatory observation sheet. The results showed an increase in the average score from 48.2 (pretest) to 78.4 (posttest), with the t-test results showing significance (p < 0.05). Qualitatively, students show high enthusiasm, increased curiosity, as well as collaborative and problem-solving abilities. These results indicate that robotics project-based learning is effective in increasing the technological literacy of elementary school-aged children and is worthy of being integrated into basic STEM learning.

Abstract

The reduction in agricultural land due to being converted into housing and urban areas means that the amount of food production is decreasing. Based on the problems above, the author offers an innovation to overcome the problem of food security through "Smart Farming". This innovation can be implemented by the community using the concept of integrated agriculture with fisheries which is easy to apply on minimal land which has not been utilized properly. However, currently There is currently no system that can monitor the pH and PPM levels of water automatically and easily. This has an impact on the poor quality of hydroponic plant production so that it cannot be sold to consumers and causes losses for this business Internet of Things (IoT) and website, this smart farming innovation was developed as a system for monitoring the condition of pH and PPM levels of water in hydroponic planting media. The development of a website-based pH and PPM monitoring system offers an innovative approach in utilizing technology to overcome the challenges of monitoring water quality effectively. By utilizing the advantages of information technology and the internet, this system can become an important solution in supporting efforts to protect the environment and sustain water resources in the future.
