Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of teachers as motivators in forming disciplined characters in special needs students in grade 4 of SDN 1 Gunungsari Dalam. This study employed a descriptive method with a qualitative approach to deeply understand the role of teachers in this context. Data collection was carried out through direct observation and unstructured interviews. Observations involved observing daily interactions between teachers and students during learning, while interviews with teachers provided an in-depth understanding of the role of teachers as motivators. The interviewees were one teacher in grade 4 of Elementary School, the principal, and two students with special needs who were the subjects in this study. The study results indicate that students with special needs are granted accommodations during the learning process. In inclusive classrooms, teachers also serve as directors, motivators, and observers. They monitor students' development and offer guidance tailored to each student's requirements and potential. Teachers also establish a positive and inclusive learning environment and motivate students through various methods, such as establishing achievable objectives, dispensing praise, and guiding students based on their interests. Furthermore, the education of children with special needs is significantly influenced by parental support. Parents actively engaged in their children's education can enhance their emotional development and academic performance. At SDN Gunungsari Dalam, parents of students with special needs often communicate with teachers and provide additional support at home. The role of teachers as motivators has proven effective in forming disciplined characters in children with special needs. This study improves discipline in children with special needs and offers a broader range of advantages in inclusive education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of applying motion video-based audiovisual media in increasing the learning motivation of fourth-grade students in PPKN at Cibadak Public Elementary School, Sukaresmi District, Cianjur Regency. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 60 fourth-grade students divided into two groups: the experimental group (30 students) and the control group (30 students), who received conventional learning using the lecture method. Data were collected using a learning motivation questionnaire based on a Likert scale. Instrument testing showed that all questionnaire items were valid with correlation coefficients ranging from r = 0.41–0.78. The reliability test using Cronbach’s Alpha showed a value of α = 0.89, indicating that the instrument was highly reliable. Prior to hypothesis testing, the data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and Levene’s homogeneity test. The data were normally distributed and homogeneous (p > 0.05). Hypothesis testing was conducted using one-way ANOVA with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed a significant difference in learning motivation between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). Cohen's d = 4.32 (experimental) and d = 4.13 (control) indicated a significant effect of motion video media on learning motivation. The study concludes that motion-video-based audiovisual media effectively increase the motivation to learn among fourth-grade PPKN students. The practical implication of this study is the need to integrate video media into the PPKN lesson plan and provide ICT facilities in elementary schools.
