Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Wordwall game media on elementary school students' scientific literacy skills. This study was conducted using an experimental method involving two groups: an experimental group using Wordwall media and a control group using conventional learning methods. Data was collected through pre-tests and post-tests designed to measure students' scientific literacy skills before and after treatment. The analysis showed that the experimental group's average pre-test score was 57.8, while the control group was 56.0. After treatment, the average post-test score of the experimental group increased to 80.2, while the control group only reached 76.6. Statistical analysis using the t-test showed a significant difference between the two groups (p <0.05), indicating that Wordwall media improved scientific literacy skills. The sample of this study consisted of elementary school students taken from two different classes, with each group consisting of 20 students. The results showed that using Wordwall game media significantly improved students' scientific literacy skills compared to conventional methods. Thus, Wordwall Press can be an alternative and innovative way to improve elementary school students' scientific literacy. This study's results indicate a significant difference between students' scientific literacy abilities before and after treatment. This study also revealed that using Wordwall improves the understanding of scientific concepts and motivates students to be more active in learning.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of animated video utilization as an instructional medium on enhancing elementary school students' critical thinking abilities in science education, specifically focusing on human body organs in sixth grade. Animated videos, which integrate visual elements, textual information, and audio components, are practical pedagogical tools that facilitate educators' more engaging and comprehensive content delivery. Critical thinking is conceptualized as a higher-order cognitive process involving systematically evaluating information, problem-solving, decision-making, and formulating reasoned judgments based on logical analysis and evidence-based arguments. The research employed a quasi-experimental methodology with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 46 sixth-grade students who were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. Both groups were administered a pretest to establish baseline critical thinking abilities. The experimental group received instruction through animated video media, whereas the control group was taught using conventional instructional methods. A posttest was conducted following the intervention to assess the students' progress. Data obtained from the pretest and posttest were analyzed using an independent samples t-test, following preliminary tests for normality and homogeneity of variance. The analysis results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the critical thinking skills of students exposed to animated video instruction compared to those who received traditional teaching. These findings suggest that the integration of animated video media in science education can serve as an effective strategy to foster critical thinking development among elementary school students.
