Abstract

The development of 21st-century skills, particularly learning independence and critical thinking, has become an important focus in elementary education. However, many elementary school students still demonstrate limited independence in managing their learning processes and underdeveloped critical thinking skills due to the dominance of conventional teacher-centered learning approaches. Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is considered an effective instructional model because it encourages students to actively construct knowledge through meaningful experiences, problem-solving activities, and real-world projects. This study aimed to examine the effect of water rocket-based Project-Based Learning on elementary school students’ learning independence and critical thinking skills. The research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental method using a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The participants were elementary school students from the Rantasari Cluster, Ajibarang District, with data collected through observation, critical thinking tests, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using prerequisite tests, independent-samples t-tests, and Pearson correlation analysis. The results showed that PjBL through water rocket-making activities significantly improved students’ critical thinking skills (p = 0.023 < 0.05) and learning independence (p = 0.012 < 0.05) compared with conventional learning methods. Furthermore, critical thinking skills and learning independence demonstrated a significant moderate relationship, with a correlation coefficient of 0.490. These findings indicated that water rocket-based PjBL provided meaningful learning experiences that promoted student autonomy, exploration, collaboration, and higher-order thinking skills. Therefore, PjBL can be recommended as an innovative instructional strategy to strengthen elementary students’ critical thinking and independent learning abilities.

Abstract

Mathematics is a universal science that has a major role in the development of knowledge, technology, and information (Sutarsa, 2021). It serves as the foundation for various disciplines, as every field of science inherently involves mathematics. Therefore, mathematics is taught at every level of education in Indonesia, from elementary schools to universities, to foster and develop students’ abilities in logical, analytical, systematic, critical, and creative thinking, as well as their collaboration skills. One of the mathematical competencies expected to be developed in schools is students’ mathematical thinking ability. This includes critical thinking, problem-solving, mathematical connections, mathematical reasoning, and creative thinking skills (Silviana, 2021). Background from this watchfulness because the ability of Class V students at SD Negeri 3 Kalipelus to solve mathematics problems remains relatively low, Students’ critical thinking skills are underdeveloped, as teachers tend to pay limited attention to how students respond to the problems, Students’ lack of active involvement often leads to their exclusion, which hinders the development of their mathematical critical thinking skills, Students still experience difficulties in identifying the relevant concepts, especially when the given problems involve more than one concept. Therefore, one of the alternative instructional strategies that teachers can apply to support students in the learning process is the scaffolding strategy. Scaffolding is a strategy that serves to bridge the gap between students’ existing knowledge and the new knowledge they are expected to acquire. Scaffolding is considered an effective and appropriate strategy for teachers to use when assisting students in solving mathematical problems. This is supported by research conducted by Yuntawati, titled “The Effectiveness of Scaffolding on Improving Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability.” The study yielded positive results, showing a significant difference in problem-solving abilities between the class that received scaffolding and the class that did not, indicating that scaffolding was effective in enhancing students’ mathematical problem-solving skills in that study.

Abstract

This mini research aimed to examine the effectiveness of interactive multimedia on collaboration skills and science learning outcomes concerning the human respiratory system among fifth-grade students at SDN 1 Kalibombong. Interactive multimedia on the respiratory system was directly utilized during the learning sessions for fifth graders. This study adopted an experimental research design with a quasi-experimental setup. The research procedure included a preparatory phase with initial observations and the development of research instruments, the implementation phase, and the conclusion phase. The subjects of this study were fifth-grade students at SDN 1 Kalibombong, Banjarnegara district. Data collection techniques used were observations, document analysis, surveys, and tests. Based on the t-test results for the collaboration skills variable, a tvalue of 2.125 was obtained, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.048, thus H1 was accepted. Similarly, the t-test results for the learning outcomes variable showed a tvalue of 3.112, exceeding the t-table value of 2.048, leading to the acceptance of H1. This mini research concludes that interactive multimedia is effective in enhancing collaboration skills and science learning outcomes related to the human respiratory system.
