Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Predict–Observe–Explain (POE) strategy on reducing misconceptions about light among fifth-grade elementary school students. This study describes empirical evidence of differences in the reduction of misconceptions between classes that received instruction using the POE strategy and classes that received instruction through teacher demonstrations. This study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design, specifically a Nonequivalent Control Group Design, conducted at Demangan State Elementary School in the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. The research subjects consisted of 52 fifth-grade students divided into an experimental class and a control class. Misconception data were collected through a validated two-tier diagnostic test, and the results showed that the validity was in the valid category. The reliability estimate of the misconception instrument was obtained through the Cronbach's Alpha test with a coefficient of 0.832, which is classified as high. Data analysis techniques included prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity) and difference tests using independent t-tests for misconception reduction. The results showed that the average misconception reduction score in the experimental class increased from 44.35 on the pretest to 70.65 on the posttest, an increase of 26.30, while the control class only increased from 48.73 to 56.38, an increase of 7.65. The hypothesis test results showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value < 0.05 for both variables, so Ha was accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the POE strategy has a significant effect in reducing students' misconceptions about light.

Abstract

Interest in learning and science literacy needs to be developed early on through learning media that is interesting, interactive, contextual, and environmentally friendly to form student awareness in protecting the environment. This study is a research and development (R&D) of Eco-Friendly Big Book Media for grade 1 elementary school students, which aims to increase students' interest and science literacy. This media is prepared with an interactive and varied approach, in order to increase the involvement of students in the learning process. This research uses the ADDIE development model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. However, this research was only carried out up to the validation stage for product feasibility testing, which involved qualitative and quantitative data analysis, focusing on validation by material experts and media experts as an evaluation step. The validation results show that the Eco-Friendly Big Book Media is very feasible to use, with a feasibility score of 96% from material experts and 95% from media experts. This media is expected to be an effective solution in supporting teachers to increase students' interest and science literacy, especially in grade 1 elementary school.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the correlation between PGSD students' perception (X) of self-efficacy (Y1) and understanding of science (Y2). The problem with this study arises because it is not clear whether students' perception of science learning has an effect on their self-efficacy and conceptual understanding, even though their average comprehension score is quite good (Mean = 71.19). This study uses a correlational quantitative approach involving 21 PGSD UPY students. Perceptions were measured using a questionnaire that had been tested for reliability (α = 0.712), Self-efficacy is measured with its own instruments (α = 0.740), meanwhile, scientific understanding is measured through tests validated through the validity of the content by experts. Data normality test (Shapiro-Wilk, p > 0.05) indicates the data is normally distributed, so Pearson correlation analysis is used. The results showed a significant positive correlation between perception and self-efficacy (r = 0.827; p < 0.01), however, no significant relationship was found between perception and understanding of science (0.297), and between self-efficacy and understanding of science (0.220). These findings indicate that students' positive perceptions are related to self-efficacy, but do not directly affect the conceptual understanding of science.

Abstract

This bibliometric analysis examines research trends in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) in primary school science education based on articles indexed in Scopus from 2016 to 2025. The research method employed bibliometric analysis using Publish or Perish and VOSViewer software to map productivity, author collaboration, and geographical distribution. The results show a significant increase in publications since 2019, with the United States as the leading contributor. The research focus has shifted from developing the STEAM concept towards evaluating the effectiveness of its implementation, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study identifies a gap in evaluative research on the impact of STEAM on learning outcomes and student engagement. The conclusion emphasizes the need for further studies that integrate impact analysis to strengthen the adaptation of the STEAM approach in education.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a learning model integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) and Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) in teaching photosynthesis and water quality at SDN 2 Lebo. The research is grounded in the need to enhance early science and technology literacy, particularly in understanding abstract concepts such as photosynthesis and its environmental influences. IoT is used to monitor real-time environmental parameters—light intensity, temperature, pH, and water turbidity. ChatGPT functions as an AI-based virtual assistant providing interactive explanations of the data. The study adopts a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model. IoT devices were developed with cloud-connected sensors, and the ChatGPT chatbot was tailored to the learning context of elementary students. Implementation involved 60 fourth- and fifth-grade students. Results showed a 32% increase in students’ understanding of photosynthesis and improved participation in scientific discussions. This research recommends the integration of IoT and AI as an innovative approach to foster critical thinking, digital literacy, and environmental awareness in primary education.
