Abstract

Critical thinking is a fundamental competency in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning; however, school-based assessment practices remain dominated by conventional techniques that primarily measure learning outcomes and provide limited insight into students’ thinking processes. This study aimed to compare the critical thinking skills of students assessed through authentic and conventional assessment techniques and to determine whether the two approaches produced significantly different outcomes. A quantitative quasi-experimental approach with a nonequivalent control group design was employed. The sample comprised 68 students, including 35 students in the experimental group and 33 students in the control group. Data were collected using an essay-based critical thinking test developed according to the FRISCO indicators: Focus, Reason, Inference, Situation, Clarity, and Overview. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, N-Gain analysis, and an independent-samples t test. The findings showed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean posttest score than the control group (73.94 vs. 63.00). The data met the assumptions of normality (p > .05) and homogeneity (p = .236), while the independent-samples t test revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups, t = 4.430, p < .001. The N-Gain analysis also indicated greater improvement among students assessed through authentic assessment than among those assessed through conventional assessment. These findings demonstrate that authentic assessment is more effective in supporting the development of students’ critical thinking skills in IPAS learning. This study contributes practical evidence that assessment practices incorporating process-oriented and performance-based tasks can provide a more comprehensive measure of students’ reasoning and strengthen the integration of critical thinking into elementary science and social science instruction.

Abstract

Improving the mathematics learning process and outcomes in fractions requires a learning model that can promote students’ active engagement. This study aimed to describe the implementation process of the Treasure Hunt Math learning model and improve Grade V students’ mathematics learning outcomes in fractions at UPTD SD Negeri 85 Parepare. The study employed a qualitative approach with a Classroom Action Research design conducted over two cycles. The participants comprised 34 Grade V students, while one classroom teacher acted as an observer. Data were collected through observation, learning achievement tests, and documentation and were subsequently analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods through data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results showed that the implementation of Treasure Hunt Math improved the students’ mathematics learning process and outcomes. In Cycle I, the learning process and outcomes remained in the adequate category because the teacher and students were still adapting to the implemented model. Following improvements in Cycle II, the learning process became more active, collaborative, and enjoyable, accompanied by an increase in learning mastery to the good category. These findings confirm that Treasure Hunt Math can be used as an alternative learning model to improve students’ engagement and mathematics learning outcomes, particularly in fractions at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of interactive learning videos on Grade IV students’ learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) at UPTD SD Negeri 67 Parepare. A quantitative approach was employed using a pre-experimental, one-group pretest–posttest design. The study population comprised 218 students enrolled at the school, while the sample consisted of one Grade IV class comprising 31 students. The participants received instruction using interactive learning videos during the IPAS learning process. Data were collected through learning-outcome tests administered before and after the intervention and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. A paired-samples t test was conducted to determine whether students’ learning outcomes differed significantly between the pretest and posttest. The analysis produced a two-tailed significance value of p = .001, which was below the .05 significance threshold; therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. These findings demonstrate a statistically significant difference in students’ learning outcomes following the use of interactive learning videos. Thus, interactive learning videos were associated with improved IPAS learning outcomes among the participating Grade IV students. The findings indicate that interactive learning videos can serve as a potentially effective instructional medium for supporting IPAS learning in elementary school settings, although the pre-experimental design limits the strength of causal inference.
