Abstract

Learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) among elementary students remain suboptimal due to traditional teacher-centered approaches that limit active engagement and conceptual understanding. This study investigated the effectiveness of discovery learning models assisted by image media in improving fourth-grade IPAS learning outcomes. A classroom action research design following Kemmis and McTaggart's cyclical model was implemented over two cycles at SDN 8 Mamboro with 29 fourth-grade students. Data collection employed achievement tests validated by experts (content validity ratio = 0.85, Cronbach's alpha = 0.82) and structured observations. Each cycle comprised planning, action, observation, and reflection phases, with discovery learning activities supported by curriculum-aligned image media. The intervention demonstrated progressive improvements across cycles. Pre-intervention baseline showed 42.5% student competency, increasing to 69.0% in Cycle I and achieving 100% competency in Cycle II. Classical absorption rates improved from 42.5% baseline to 61.75% in Cycle I and 90.75% in Cycle II. Student engagement levels increased from 75% to 88.75%, while teacher effectiveness scores improved from 83.75% to 90%. All students achieved minimum competency standards by the final cycle, with scores ranging from 75-100. The findings validate constructivist learning principles and demonstrate the synergistic effects of combining discovery learning with visual media. Results align with previous research on student-centered approaches while extending understanding of multimedia integration in elementary science education. The dramatic improvement from passive to active learning confirms the effectiveness of this pedagogical combination in addressing contemporary educational challenges and supporting diverse learning styles in IPAS instruction.

Abstract

The urgency of this research is driven by the deficiency in students' critical thinking skills, which is rooted in the dominance of lecture-based teaching approaches. These traditional methods restrict student engagement and exploration, crucial for fostering critical thought. The research aims to explore the impact of the guided inquiry learning model on enhancing critical thinking skills among elementary students, specifically focusing on a sample of 40 fifth-grade students at SDN Lonja. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest control groups, the study gathered data through tests, observations, and documentation. The Paired Samples Test used for data analysis indicated a significant difference at the 5% level, with a p-value of 0.000. This outcome led to the rejection of the null hypothesis, confirming that the guided inquiry model significantly enhances students' critical thinking skills in Natural Sciences. The findings underscore the potential of guided inquiry as an effective instructional model, which actively engages students in learning, promotes analytical thinking, and reduces dependency on rote memorization, thereby nurturing critical thinking competencies essential for lifelong learning and problem-solving. This research holds implications for educators and curriculum developers seeking to adopt student-centered learning strategies that better prepare students for future academic and personal challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the Critical Thinking Skills of Grade IV Students of SDN 2 Talise through Classroom Action Research (CAR). CAR is a research method deliberately conducted in classroom settings to enhance learning quality. The research follows Kemmis and McTaggart's model, comprising four stages: Planning, Action, Observation, and Reflection. Conducted at SDN 2 Talise during the 2024/2025 academic year, this study involved 17 grade IV students as research subjects. Data collection employed both non-test and test techniques. Non-test methods included interviews, observations, and documentation, while test data was gathered through essay assessments evaluating students' critical thinking skills in social studies material. The study implemented Problem-Based Learning (PBL) assisted by audio-visual media. Results demonstrated progressive improvement across cycles. In Pre-Action, classical learning completion achieved 25%. Cycle I showed improvement to 30.76%, representing a 5.76% increase. Most significantly, Cycle II demonstrated substantial progress with 89.41% classical learning completion, indicating a remarkable 58.65% improvement from Cycle I. These findings reveal that PBL implementation with audio-visual support effectively enhances students' critical thinking abilities. The dramatic improvement from 25% to 89.41% completion rates across the research cycles demonstrates the model's effectiveness. The progressive enhancement pattern confirms that structured problem-based approaches, when properly implemented with multimedia support, can significantly develop elementary students' critical thinking skills in social studies education. Therefore, the Problem-Based Learning model proves successful in improving Grade IV students' critical thinking skills at SDN 2 Talise.

Abstract

The background of this community service activity is the existence of problems at the partner school of SDN 6 Banawa, Donggala Regency, namely (1) data obtained that not all teachers have implemented the PBL model in learning. Other problems are (1) Teachers in implementing the PBL model still encounter errors, especially at the stage of student orientation to the problem. At this stage, some teachers directly present the material. They do not provide problems for students to solve in groups. and (2) the lack of teaching materials used to implement the independent curriculum. The purpose of this community service activity is to provide understanding and skills in implementing the PELAJARPADU Interactive Multimedia PBL model in learning. The implementation of community service uses an adult education approach which is usually called the Andragogy approach. Some techniques or methods that can be used in this community service are; group discussions, FGDs, brainstorming and demonstrations. Based on the dissemination activities, it can be concluded that (1) Teachers are enthusiastic about participating in the dissemination of research results on interactive multimedia (pelajarpadu) based on problem-based learning assisted by articulate storylines. (2) The implementation of interactive multimedia (pelajarpadu) based on problem-based learning assisted by articulate storylines received a positive response from participants. The teacher acknowledged that the results of the research could make it easier for teachers to implement the problem-based learning model in learning and make it easier to convey teaching materials to students in the classroom.

Abstract

Traditional teacher-centered approaches in Arts and Culture education often result in passive learning and poor conceptual understanding among elementary students. This study investigated the effect of Discovery Learning assisted by concept maps on fifth-grade students' learning outcomes in Arts and Culture at SD Inpres 1 Kawatuna, Palu, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed with 27 fifth-grade students (19 males, 8 females) selected through saturated sampling. The intervention consisted of six 90-minute sessions integrating Discovery Learning with concept mapping activities. Data were collected using a validated cognitive achievement test (Cronbach's α = 0.717) and analyzed using paired-samples t-test and normalized gain analysis.  The paired-samples t-test revealed statistically significant improvement from pretest (M = 56.48, SD = 13.52) to posttest (M = 85.70, SD = 7.89), with t(26) = 10.18, p < 0.001, and an exceptionally large effect size (Cohen's d = 2.54). Normalized gain analysis demonstrated medium-level effectiveness (g = 0.692, 69.2%).  Discovery Learning assisted by concept maps significantly enhances Arts and Culture learning outcomes by fostering active engagement and systematic knowledge organization. The integrated approach addresses passive learning limitations and promotes deeper conceptual understanding, offering evidence-based pedagogical strategies for Indonesian elementary educators.
