Abstract

This research is motivated by the low level of creativity and student learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects in grade V at Elementary School Lantebung, Makassar City, which is caused by conventional learning processes that have not accommodated the diversity of student characteristics. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of the implementation of a differentiated learning approach in improving students' creativity and learning outcomes in IPAS. The research method used is a quasi-experimental design with the one-group pretest-posttest design on 37 grade V students. Data collection techniques were carried out through learning outcome tests, observations of teacher and student activities, and creativity assessments. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests. The results showed a significant transformation in the classroom ecosystem, marked by a progressive increase in teacher pedagogical competence (64% to 93%) and student learning activities (60% to 89%). Academically, the average value of learning outcomes increased sharply from 47.43 to 76.89 (t = 18.073; p < 0.000), with a drastic decrease in standard deviation from 11.99 to 6.38, proving a reduced understanding gap among students. Furthermore, this strategy significantly stimulated all aspects of divergent thinking (t = 26.760; p < 0.000), with optimal development in flexibility and elaboration. In conclusion, differentiated learning is an empirically valid, effective, and inclusive model that is highly adaptive to students' characteristics, interests, and learning readiness in maximizing both cognitive potential and creativity in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation process and prove the effectiveness of improving the speaking skills of children aged 4–5 years in Group A at TK Islam Al-Fath Makassar through the utilization of flashcard media (picture cards). The background of the problem is based on initial observations indicating low ability to respond to teachers' verbal stimulation, minimal two-way communication, limited vocabulary, and weak oral articulation among children due to conventional and monotonous language learning models. The approach used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) following the Kemmis and McTaggart adaptive spiral model, conducted in two cycles, where each cycle includes the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects involved 15 preschool children (7 boys and 8 girls). Data were collected through a combination of structured observation techniques and performance assessments, which were then analyzed using quantitative descriptive statistics and the interactive model of qualitative analysis. The results of the intervention demonstrate a significant acceleration in the children's expressive language competency achievement. At the end of Cycle I, the class's average oral ability score only reached 2.02 (Starting to Develop category) due to the dominance of one-way classical instruction. However, after implementing tactical reconstruction based on Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) principles in Cycle II, the average class speaking skill score jumped drastically to 3.72 (Developing Very Well category). Performance improvements were consistently recorded in the aspects of fluency, vocabulary expansion, logical sentence structure composition, and the children's confidence and courage. The study concludes that the interactive-participatory operationalization of flashcards is highly effective in boosting early childhood speaking skills.

Abstract

This study conducted on May 19, 2025, aims to determine the effect of using the Problem-Based Learning model with the Inquiry method on students mathematical problem-solving abilities. Lack of interest, difficulty understanding the material and students unwillingness to ask questions caused 29.16% of students to have daily mathematics test scores below the minimum passing grade. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method (one group pre-test and post-test design), purposive sampling technique, and instruments in the form of observation sheets, tests, and documentation. The results showed that the application of the Problem-Based Learning Model with the Inquiry Method succeeded in creating an active, collaborative, and student-centered learning atmosphere, thereby motivating students to engage in real-world problem solving. The test results showed a significant increase in the average post-test score of students to 88.83 compared to the pre-test score of 69.33. These results prove that the collaboration of these two approaches is very effective in optimizing students conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills at the elementary education level.

Abstract

Low motivation and learning outcomes of students in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) remain a major problem in elementary school learning. The learning process, which tends to be one-way and does not actively involve students, causes a decline in participation and enthusiasm for learning. Based on this, this study aims to determine the effect of applying the Jigsaw cooperative learning model assisted by Wordwall media on the motivation and learning outcomes of fourth-grade students. This study used a one-group pretest-posttest design with 26 students as subjects. The research instruments included observation sheets of teacher and student activities, learning motivation questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The data were analyzed using validity, reliability, normality, and paired sample t-test. The results showed that the application of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model assisted by Wordwall media could significantly improve student motivation and learning outcomes. Students showed higher motivation categories and increased average learning outcome scores after the application of this model. Thus, the Jigsaw learning model assisted by Wordwall proved to be effective in improving student motivation and learning outcomes in IPAS subjects.

Abstract

The development of thematic learning requires teachers to apply approaches that can develop creativity while improving student learning outcomes. One approach that is considered relevant is the experimental method combined with the constructive learning model, because both emphasize meaningful learning activities and direct experience. Based on this background, this study aims to describe the application of the influence of the experimental method and the constructive learning model on the creativity and thematic learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SDN 80 Kuri Lompo. This study uses a quantitative approach through a quasi-experimental Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research sample consisted of 25 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, tests, and documentation, then analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity, T-Test, and Mann-Whitney U Test. Learning success was measured through the implementation of learning and an increase in learning outcomes of at least 75% according to the Minimum Completion Minimum (KKM). The results showed that the average initial ability of students was 72.4 with 56% completeness. After the application of the experimental method and constructive learning, the average learning outcome increased to 86 with 88% classical completeness. Statistical tests showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.002 < 0.05), so it can be concluded that the constructivism-based experimental method is more effective than conventional learning in improving student creativity and learning outcomes.
