Abstract

Low early reading proficiency among elementary school students remains a persistent challenge in Indonesian primary education, particularly with respect to oral reading dimensions such as pronunciation, intonation, voice clarity, and fluency. Puzzle media has emerged as a promising interactive instructional tool; however, empirical evidence of its effectiveness among third-grade students — a transitional learner cohort — remains limited. This study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group arrangement. The participants comprised 40 third-grade students at SDN Inpres 1 Lasoani, divided equally into an experimental class (n = 20) and a control class (n = 20) using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a validated early reading performance test (reliability coefficient r = .87) assessing four reading aspects, and analysed using a Paired Sample T-Test following confirmed normality (Shapiro-Wilk) and homogeneity (Levene's) assumptions. The experimental class demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in reading skills, with mean scores increasing from 76.97 (pretest) to 96.22 (posttest), yielding t(37) = −2.155 and p = .038 (< .05). Gains were consistent across all four assessed reading dimensions. The findings confirm that puzzle media effectively improves holistic oral reading competencies in Grade 3 students, extending prior research predominantly focused on Grade 1 and Grade 2 learners. The results are interpretable through dual coding theory and support the integration of puzzle media as a structured reading intervention aligned with the Merdeka Belajar differentiated learning framework.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Discovery Learning model on the critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students at SD Inpres 2 Besusu. The research employed a quantitative method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study consisted of all fifth-grade students at SD Inpres 2 Besusu, totaling 19 students. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling, in which the entire population was used as the sample due to its relatively small size (fewer than 30 individuals). Therefore, the sample in this study was all 19 fifth-grade students at SD Inpres 2 Besusu. Data collection techniques included a critical thinking skills test, observation sheets, and interviews. The data analysis used in this study comprised descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, assisted by the IBM SPSS Statistics version 30 application. Based on the results and analysis of the research data, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the Discovery Learning model on the students' critical thinking skills in class V at SD Inpres 2 Besusu. This can be seen from the posttest results in the IPAS subject, where the average score was 88.37. The Paired Sample T-Test analysis showed a significance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating that the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This demonstrates that the Discovery Learning model has a positive effect on the critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students at SD Inpres 2 Besusu. This research implies that the implementation of the Discovery Learning model can enhance students' critical thinking skills. Therefore, this model can be more widely integrated into the learning process at SD Inpres 2 Besusu to help students develop analytical and more creative problem-solving skills. Additionally, the findings of this study provide a basis for teachers to use more interactive and discovery-based teaching models to improve the quality of education and students' critical thinking abilities in the future.

Abstract

Learning motivation is a crucial factor that determines the success of education at the elementary school level. However, some students still exhibit low motivation despite the teacher's efforts to create engaging learning experiences. This study aims to explore the teacher's role as a motivator in enhancing the learning motivation of fifth-grade students at SDN 1 Sindue. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation involving one teacher and six students categorized as having high and low motivation. The results show that the teacher implemented various strategies such as stimulating learning interest, creating a pleasant atmosphere, giving praise, assessments, rewards, and competitions. These strategies were found effective in increasing motivation for most students, although some students faced internal obstacles such as laziness and lack of self-confidence, as well as external obstacles like difficulty with the material and an unfavorable learning environment. The study highlights the importance of individualized and adaptive approaches by teachers to sustain student learning motivation. The implications of this research emphasize the need for teacher training in implementing more personal and context-specific motivational strategies. This study also contributes to the literature on learning motivation at the elementary level through an empirically grounded, context-specific approach.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students mathematatics learning outcomes by using the make a match learining model assisted by concrete media made from used goods in class 3 of SD Negeri Watusampu. The research method used in this study is classroom action research (CAR) which is carried out cyclically. The subjects in this study were 23 students of class 3 of SD Negeri Watusampu. The instruments used by researchers in collecting data were observation  sheets, evaluation test questions, interviews and documentation. The data analysis techniques used in this study were quantitative data analysis and qualitative data analysis. The result of the study showed that using the make a match learning model assisted by concrete media made from used goods can improve the mathematics learning outcomes of class 3 students of SD Negeri Watusampu. The average value of classical learning completeness in cycle I was 52,17% then in cycle II there was an increase of 34,78% to 86,95%. The number of students who completed cycle I was 12 people, then in cycle II it increased to 20 students. The number of students who did not complete cycle I was 11 people, then in cycle II it decreased to 3 people. Based on the results and discussions that have been described above, it was obtained that by implementing the make a match learing model assisted by concrete media made from used goods, it can improve students’ mathematics learning outcomes in grade 3 of SD Negeri Watusampu. This is indicated by the classical learning completion achieved in cycle I of 52.17% rhen in cycle II it increased to 86,95%.
