Abstract

Learning motivation and conceptual understanding among elementary school students are still considered low. Difficulties in concentrating and understanding abstract material are factors that hinder the achievement of learning objectives. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using Nearpod-based animated video media in improving learning motivation and conceptual understanding of ecosystems among elementary school students. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using the one-group pretest-posttest method. The research subjects consisted of 20 students, who also served as trial participants. Data were collected through a learning motivation questionnaire and a conceptual understanding test that had been validated and tested for reliability. Data analysis was conducted using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test because the data were not normally distributed. The results of the study showed that the use of Nearpod-based animated videos was effective in enhancing learning motivation while strengthening students’ conceptual understanding of ecosystems. Thus, this media can be concluded as an innovative and meaningful learning tool to address low learning motivation and difficulties in understanding abstract concepts among elementary school students. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of utilizing interactive learning technologies to create engaging, concrete, and supportive learning experiences in achieving educational goals.

Abstract

The low level of creativity and problem-solving skills among elementary school students remains a persistent challenge in education, often caused by teacher-centered approaches that limit opportunities for learners to explore and express innovative ideas. This condition highlights the urgency of designing learning models that actively engage students in constructing knowledge while fostering higher-order thinking. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing students’ creativity and problem-solving skills. The research applied a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest only control group design, involving 60 sixth-grade students divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected using creativity and problem-solving tests, which were developed and validated according to standardized procedures. The data analysis employed an independent sample t-test to compare learning outcomes between groups. The findings reveal that students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher levels of creativity and problem-solving skills compared to those in the control group. Conceptually, these results indicate that the PBL model encourages students to generate original ideas, analyze complex situations, and construct critical solutions collaboratively. The study concludes that PBL is an effective pedagogical strategy to promote creativity and problem-solving as essential 21st-century competencies, with implications for strengthening innovative practices in elementary education.
