Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that centers on students actively engaging in real-world, meaningful projects to explore and construct knowledge. This study investigates the influence of PBL on learning outcomes, creativity, and student motivation in science learning at the elementary school level. In addition, this study aims to explore how PBL, as an instructional approach, affects learning outcomes, creativity and student motivation in science education. The research employed a quantitative approach through a quasi-experimental method. The sample consisted of elementary school students in Surabaya, Indonesia, who were exposed to PBL activities in their science classes, while a control group experienced conventional instruction. Both groups completed pre- and post-tests to assess changes in creativity and motivation. The research design employed was a true experimental design, involving the formation of two groups, namely the control and experimental groups, through random sampling. This study's results indicate that PBL significantly impacts student learning outcomes, motivation, and creativity in science education. These findings contribute to the existing literature on PBL and its influence on learning outcomes, creativity, and student motivation in science learning. The results underscore the importance of integrating PBL as a practical instructional approach in elementary school classrooms to foster creativity and enhance student motivation. Educators and policymakers can use these insights to promote innovative teaching methods that encourage active participation, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving skills in science education at the elementary level.

Abstract

Fractions serve as a critical foundation in mathematics education, preparing students for more advanced topics such as algebra and probability. Despite their importance, fractions are often difficult for elementary school students to grasp due to their abstract nature, especially when not taught within meaningful contexts. This study investigates the learning obstacles faced by fifth-grade students in understanding the multiplication and division of fractions. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through tests, interviews, classroom observations, and documentation at Lempuyangwangi Elementary School in Yogyakarta. The analysis revealed three primary categories of learning obstacles: (1) Ontogenic obstacles, including students’ inability to simplify fractions correctly, frequent computational errors, and low motivation in learning mathematics; (2) Didactical obstacles, such as difficulties in interpreting word problems and applying appropriate procedures; and (3) Epistemological obstacles, particularly in understanding and applying the inverse concept required for dividing fractions. These findings highlight the need for more contextually relevant and cognitively aligned instructional strategies. Addressing these obstacles can support the development of more effective teaching approaches to enhance students’ conceptual understanding of fraction operations.

Abstract

Collaboration skills as part of the urgency of learning in the 21st century have a crucial position for elementary school students. The discourse on increasing research in the field of education is not in line with the lack of research that discusses students' collaboration skills to participate in groups comprehensively. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring the initial condition of collaboration skills of 126 grade IV students in three elementary schools in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta in depth. The researcher detailed the results of the case study analysis on students' collaboration skills in elementary school. One hundred and twenty-six grade IV students in three elementary schools in Sleman district were selected for observation. Semi-structured observations, semi-structured interviews, and several documents are present as instruments to collect data on initial conditions related to students' collaboration skills. The results show the need to develop students' collaboration skills through learning media innovations that are oriented to the characteristics of diverse student learning styles. This study has implications for the importance of improving students' collaboration skills in science learning in the curriculum through learning media innovations that are tailored to the needs of students' learning styles and can provide independent learning guidelines for students in preparing themselves to face the demands of 21st century skills.
