Abstract

This quantitative study aimed to examine the relationship between student anxiety and mathematics learning outcomes among fourth-grade students at SDN Sugihwaras Candi during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research employed a survey method with a saturated sampling technique, resulting in a sample size of 60 fourth-grade students. Hypothesis testing was conducted using a correlation test, and the results revealed a significant negative relationship (-0.718) between student anxiety and mathematics learning outcomes. The findings indicate a strong association between higher levels of anxiety and lower achievement in mathematics among fourth-grade students during the Covid-19 pandemic. These results emphasize the need for interventions and support to address student anxiety, as it can significantly impact their academic performance in mathematics. Highlights: Student anxiety: Examining the impact of anxiety on students' academic performance in mathematics. Mathematics learning outcomes: Investigating the relationship between anxiety levels and achievement in math. Fourth grade students: Assessing the effects of anxiety on fourth graders' learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. Keywords: student anxiety, mathematics learning outcomes, fourth grade, Covid-19 pandemic, quantitative approach

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of utilizing the learning media "Articulate Storyline" on the motivation of fourth-grade students in SDN Sekardangan. Recognizing the prevalence of motivation issues among students, this study employs an experimental approach with a "one group pretest posttest design" to examine the relationship between learning media and student motivation. The data was collected through a social studies learning motivation questionnaire administered to the research sample. The findings demonstrate a significant positive effect of implementing Articulate Storyline on student learning, highlighting its potential as an effective tool for enhancing motivation in educational settings. The implications of these results offer valuable insights for educators and policymakers aiming to foster a conducive learning environment. Highlights: The use of Articulate Storyline learning media significantly enhances student motivation. Experimental study explores the impact of Articulate Storyline on fourth-grade students' motivation. Findings highlight the positive influence of learning media on student motivation. Keywords: Articulate Storyline, learning media, student motivation, experimental study, fourth-grade students.

Abstract

General Background: Early reading skills constitute a fundamental foundation for elementary school learning and are essential for academic development. Specific Background: Many lower-grade students still encounter difficulties in mastering beginning reading, necessitating structured instructional approaches such as the Structural Analytical Synthesis (SAS) method. Knowledge Gap: Despite prior studies on early reading instruction, limited evidence exists regarding the application of the SAS method to second-grade students within the specific context of SDN Lemah Putro 3. Aims: This study aimed to determine whether the SAS method could improve the initial reading ability of second-grade students at SDN Lemah Putro 3. Results: Using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design with 16 students, data collected through reading tests and observations showed a rise in mean scores from 80.4 on the pretest to 92.5 on the posttest, with paired sample t-test results indicating a statistically significant difference. Novelty: The study provides contextual empirical evidence on the application of the SAS method for early reading instruction at the second-grade level in an Indonesian elementary school setting. Implications: These findings suggest that the SAS method can serve as an alternative instructional strategy for beginning reading in primary education and support teachers in facilitating foundational literacy development. Highlights: Mean test scores increased from 80.4 before treatment to 92.5 after instruction. Statistical testing confirmed a significant difference between initial and final measurements. Learners showed greater fluency, accuracy, and pronunciation during reading tasks.
