Abstract

Traditional lecture-based instruction in Indonesian elementary Social Studies education often results in passive student participation and suboptimal learning outcomes. This study examined the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as an alternative pedagogical approach to enhance student engagement and academic achievement in fourth-grade Social Studies instruction. A quasi-experimental study with nonequivalent control group design was conducted at SD Negeri 9 Palu, involving 26 fourth-grade students randomly assigned to experimental (n=13) and control (n=13) groups. The experimental group received eight weeks of PjBL instruction focusing on human body organ systems through collaborative investigations, while the control group received conventional lecture-based teaching. Data were collected using a validated 20-item multiple-choice achievement test administered as pretest and posttest. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, assumption testing, independent samples t-tests, and paired samples t-tests with significance set at α = 0.05. The experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores (M = 88.07, SD = 6.62) compared to the control group (M = 80.38, SD = 9.23), with a statistically significant difference (t = 2.416, p = 0.024) and large effect size (Cohen's d = 0.95). Both groups showed significant within-group improvements, but the experimental group demonstrated greater consistency in learning outcomes with substantially reduced variance (474.35 to 43.91). Project-Based Learning significantly enhances Social Studies learning outcomes and promotes more equitable educational experiences among fourth-grade students. The findings support the implementation of student-centered pedagogical approaches in Indonesian elementary education contexts. Future research should examine PjBL effectiveness across larger samples and extended intervention periods while exploring individual learner characteristics that may influence outcomes.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the influence of the use of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) type cooperative model on the science and science learning outcomes of grade IV students at SD Inpres Bumi Sago. This research is experimental research conducted in one experimental class. The research design used in this research is Pre-Experimental Design in the form of One Group Pretest Posttest. The population in this study was 24 grade IV students at SD Inpres Bumi Sago for the 2024 academic year. The sample in this study was all class IV which was the experimental class. The instrument used is a test instrument, namely multiple choice questions whose validity and reliability have been tested. Data analysis used prerequisite tests, namely normality and linearity tests and hypothesis testing using paired sample t-test which was analyzed using SPSS 22 for windows. Based on the results of this research, it shows a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, so accepting the Ha hypothesis and rejecting the Ho hypothesis, this means that there is an influence of the use of the TGT type cooperative model on the learning outcomes of fourth grade students at SD Inpres Bumi Sago. So it can be concluded that there is an influence of the use of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) type cooperative model on the science and science learning outcomes of Inpres Bumi Sago Elementary School students

Abstract

This study investigates how the Teams Games Tournament cooperative learning model can improve the learning motivation of fourth grade students in Social Studies at Inpres 1 Birobuli Public Elementary School. The research aims to determine whether combining teamwork, friendly competition, and enjoyable activities can encourage students to participate more actively in the learning process. A quantitative approach with a Quasi Experimental design is applied, where class IVA receives the Teams Games Tournament treatment and class IVB functions as the comparison group. A motivation questionnaire is used to collect data after the learning activities. Before testing the hypothesis, the data are examined through normality and homogeneity tests to ensure statistical requirements are met. The hypothesis is then analyzed using the Paired Sample T Test through SPSS Statistic twenty five. The results show a significance value of zero point zero zero zero, lower than the alpha level of zero point zero five, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. These results indicate that the Teams Games Tournament model significantly increases students motivation and creates a more engaging classroom atmosphere.

Abstract

The study aims to address the issue of low motivation and poor learning outcomes in Social Studies. Many students find Social Studies dull due to its focus on memorization, which leads to passive learning. Additionally, teachers' limited familiarity with various learning approaches contributes to students' lack of motivation. The study investigates whether implementing a project-based learning (PBL) model can positively impact motivation and learning outcomes in Social Studies. Fifth-grade students from SDN 17 Poso participated in the quasi-experimental research, divided into experimental and control groups. Pretests and posttests were administered before and after the learning period, respectively, to both groups. Data collection methods included tests, questionnaires, and documentation. Pretests helped establish baseline knowledge levels and facilitated comparison to evaluate the effectiveness of the PBL intervention. Results indicated a significant improvement in motivation and learning outcomes among students exposed to the project-based learning model. The study's implications extend to enhancing teaching methodologies and strategies to foster better engagement and achievement in Social Studies.
