Abstract

In the era of Intelligent Society 5.0, collaborative skills, which can be defined as the ability to work effectively with others to achieve common goals, are essential competencies for students to thrive. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effectiveness of Online-based Science Project Learning (SPL) as a substitute instructional model for fostering collaborative skills among elementary school students. The study participants consisted of 75 elementary school fifth-grade students, distributed across three classes in Muhammadiyah Islamic Elementary School, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. It is important to comprehend that this examination was a replica of a preliminary test, and was conducted following the same methodology without the inclusion of a control group. The study design utilized a single-group approach, incorporating both a pretest and a posttest assessment. Furthermore, data analysis was conducted through paired t-test, n-gain calculation, and ANOVA using IBM SPSS version 25. The obtained results showed a statistically significant increase in the collective proficiency score of the observed students, as assessed at a 5% alpha level, after their engagement with the online-based Science Project Learning (SPL) model. Additionally, the average n-gains for the three grades were high, with no grade-level differences, and over 90% of the students responded positively to the online-based SPL Model teaching method. Based on these findings, it was concluded that online-based SPL models improved the collaborative work skills of the observed students. This study has several implications. First, it enhances the understanding of 21st-century life skills and abilities among elementary school teachers in Indonesia. Second, it suggests the potential for expanding the scope of the subject matter. Third, it underscores the importance of government collaborations in studies that prioritize the development of 4C skills, particularly collaboration, among students. Moreover, the study also emphasizes the necessity of online-based Science Project Learning (SPL) for scholars interested in remote learning, with a focus on examining the collaborative abilities and science learning outcomes of elementary students in virtual learning environments.

Abstract

This research aimed to measure prospective teachers' cultural awareness in learning using web and ethnoscience-based media. Then, to confirm the me-dia's feasibility, we conducted teaching material verification tests and media verification tests utilizing Borg Gall theory. A mixed method study was used in data collection techniques, including observations, documentation, and interview. Following the qualitative, quantitative verification test was conducted by two verifiers, with the first verifier, media professionals, rated highly effective with an average of 96.6%. In contrast, the average percent-age of material expert verifiers was 98%, rated highly effective. The results showed that the student's cultural knowledge increased statistically signifi-cantly with 5% alpha after learning science using the media. The average n-gains for the three grades were high, with no differences among the three grades, and over 93% of students responded positively to the media. Ethno-science and web-based learning media meet the media eligibility criteria: val-id, practical, and effective to improve students' cultural awareness in science classrooms.

Abstract

Understanding and communicating stories is one of the fundamental literacy skills needed by the Dukuh Kupang PKK (Family Welfare Empowerment) group. These problems create obstacles in optimising the activities carried out and hinder the creation of innovations to improve the PKK program. The purpose of this service is to help PKK Dukuh Kupang members improve basic literacy skills, especially reading comprehension, comprehension and communication skills through storytelling competitions. The methods used include observation to investigate the problem, collaboration with stakeholders, conducting public relations activities, holding a competition, establishing a sustainability programme, and monitoring and evaluation. Thanks to this service, the literacy level of PKK cadres who participated in the short story writing competition increased significantly. This can be seen from the comparison of the ability to understand information and communication before and after the convention of 20 administrators representing Dukuh Kupang Sub-district. This increase in ability is related to storytelling competition metrics such as narrative weight (30%), rhetoric (30%), language and communication (20%), and creativity (20%). Based on the evaluation results, all teams as participants obtained the lowest score (85%) with the category "Good". In addition, this programme will also result in a strong and strategic cooperation with the Kapanewong Beruba government to implement charitable programmes related to improving the literacy skills of PKK cadres in the future.
