Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of technology-based instructional media in IPAS (Science, Social Sciences, and Environment) learning in Grade IV at SDN Inpres 2 Tanamodindi. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that although the school is equipped with adequate technological facilities, their utilization remains low as teachers tend to rely on conventional teaching methods. The main obstacles identified are the lack of understanding and technical skills among teachers in operating technological media, as well as the challenges in adapting to curriculum changes. However, the implementation of technology-based media has been proven to enhance students’ interest and learning motivation, while also creating a more interactive classroom atmosphere. In conclusion, the appropriate use of technology-based instructional media can improve the quality of the IPAS teaching and learning process. Therefore, teacher training and mentoring, along with the development of innovative learning strategies, are essential to improve the quality of IPAS instruction.  Keywords: Elementary School, Instructional Media, IPAS, Learning Motivation, Technology

Abstract

Speaking skills remain inadequately developed in Indonesian elementary education, with students exhibiting passive participation, low confidence, and limited verbal interaction opportunities. This study investigated the effectiveness of the Make a Match cooperative learning model in enhancing third-grade students' speaking competencies through systematic classroom intervention. Employing classroom action research methodology across two iterative cycles at SD Inpres 3 Tondo, this study involved 28 third-grade students and one teacher during the 2025 academic year. Data were collected through structured observations, learning outcome assessments, interviews, and documentation, with analysis integrating quantitative descriptive statistics and qualitative thematic interpretation to evaluate teacher pedagogical quality, student engagement patterns, and speaking achievement outcomes. Substantial improvements were documented across all measured dimensions. Teacher pedagogical quality increased from 61.11% in Cycle I to 94.44% in Cycle II, while student engagement rose from 44.44% to 94.44%. Most significantly, academic achievement rates improved dramatically from 41.67% to 83.33% of students meeting the minimum completion criterion, representing a 41.66 percentage point gain. Findings validate that Make a Match cooperative learning, when implemented with skilled facilitation including enhanced supervision, motivational strategies, and explicit procedural guidance, effectively transforms passive learners into confident communicators. This research contributes empirical evidence demonstrating that speaking skill development requires integrated attention to pedagogical structures, teacher quality, and student psychological support within cooperative learning frameworks.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of the Merdeka Curriculum on creativity development among second-grade students in Indonesian language learning at SD Negeri 02 Dolo. Despite growing emphasis on 21st-century competencies, traditional teacher-centered instruction continues to dominate Indonesian primary classrooms, potentially constraining creativity development. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, complemented by classroom observations, questionnaires, and interviews with 30 second-grade students and their teacher. Data were analyzed using paired-samples t-tests, descriptive statistics, and thematic analysis. Results revealed a paradoxical pattern: while standardized creativity test scores showed minimal change (p = 0.012, d = 0.15), substantial improvements emerged in creative behaviors, autonomous learning, and student engagement. Classroom observation ratings progressed from 80% to 100%, and qualitative data documented increased idea generation, willingness to experiment, and confidence in creative expression. These findings suggest that student-centered, project-based curricula foster meaningful creativity development in young learners, manifesting primarily through behavioral processes rather than immediate test performance gains. The study contributes to early primary education scholarship by revealing limitations of traditional written assessments for capturing children's creativity and supporting the need for multimodal, process-oriented evaluation approaches. Results carry implications for curriculum implementation, teacher professional development, and creativity assessment practices in early primary contexts.
