Abstract

This research aims to develop interactive media based on differentiated learning to overcome the learning difficulties of IPAS students in grade IV of SD/MI. This research is a Research and Development (R&D) research, using a 4D development model consisting of the stages of definition, design, development and dissemination. The subjects of this study are 71 students and 3 educators who will conduct a media practicality test, media experts, linguists, and material experts. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, interviews and questionnaires. The results of the study show that interactive media is valid and practical in overcoming learning difficulties in learning IPAS. Interactive media was declared valid in terms of language with a percentage of 94%, material with a percentage of 90% and media with a percentage of 96% so that an average of 93.3% was obtained with a very valid category. The practicality of interactive media by educators and students was obtained on average 94% by educators in the Very Practical category and 89.4% by students in the Very Practical category. The development of differentiated learning-based interactive media products does not use an effectiveness test but only uses a validity test and a practicality test. Based on these results, it can be concluded that differentiated learning-based interactive media to overcome learning difficulties in learning science in grade IV of SD/MI is categorized as very valid and very practical and can overcome students' learning difficulties in learning science.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the "BANDREC" teaching materials based on the RADEC learning model in improving cultural and civic literacy among Phase A students in the subject of Pancasila values and symbols. The method used is a quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were second-grade elementary schoolstudents in Bandung. The results showed a significant improvement in students' cultural and civic literacy after using the "BANDREC" teaching materials. The average pre-test score of 28.22 increased to 70.78 in the post-test. Statistical analysis indicates that teaching materials based on the RADEC learning model are effective in enhancing students' understanding of Pancasila values and symbols. These findings suggest that the use of interactive RADEC-based teaching materials can serve as a relevant learning strategy to strengthen students' cultural and civic literacy

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the needs for integrating Bandung local cultural values into reading and writing instruction for second-grade elementary school students as an initial step in developing an ethnopedagogy-based module. The research background stems from the low basic literacy skills found among second-grade elementary students in Cibogo, Lembang. Out of a total of 23 students, 3 students were unable to read, while several students still experienced difficulties in reading fluency, writing simple sentences, and using capital letters and punctuation marks. This condition is exacerbated by instruction that remains dominated by lecture methods and the use of teaching modules that are not contextual to local life and culture. This study employs a qualitative approach with a needs analysis method through interview and observation techniques involving teachers and second-grade elementary students as research subjects. The analysis focuses on identifying elements of Bandung local culture, including community social life, natural environmental conditions, natural products, regional arts, and traditions that are still alive in the Elementary School Bandung community and surrounding areas. Preliminary findings indicate that teachers have not yet developed teaching modules that connect Indonesian language material with students' local cultural context. In fact, the integration of ethnopedagogical values is considered to have the potential to strengthen basic literacy skills through meaningful, contextual learning rooted in students' cultural experiences. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to serve as a foundation for developing ethnopedagogy-based learning modules that integrate Bandung local culture to improve the reading and writing skills of second-grade elementary students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the mathematical connection ability of fifth-grade elementary school students in understanding fraction concepts. Mathematical connection ability is one of the essential aspects that should be developed from the elementary education level, as it enables students to recognize relationships among mathematical concepts and apply them meaningfully in real-life situations. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through a mathematical connection ability test, observations, and interviews. The test instrument was developed based on three main indicators of mathematical connection ability proposed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), namely: (1) the ability to connect mathematical concepts, (2) the ability to connect multiple mathematical representations, and (3) the ability to connect mathematical concepts to real-life situations. The research subjects consisted of 30 fifth-grade students from a public elementary school in Garut Regency. The results indicate that the indicator of connecting mathematical concepts achieved the highest percentage at 68.7% (moderate category), followed by the indicator of connecting representations at 65.4% (moderate category), while the indicator of connecting mathematics to everyday life reached only 42.1% (low category). These findings suggest that students are generally able to identify relationships among mathematical concepts but still experience difficulties in applying these concepts to real-life contexts. Therefore, more in-depth instructional reinforcement is required to help students develop a more meaningful and applicable understanding of the mathematical concepts they learn.
