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

Critical thinking skills are essential skills of the 21st century which are very important for students to master. Unfortunately, some research results show students' low critical thinking skills. One important component that supports the teaching of critical thinking for students is learning tools. The results of the preliminary study show the lack of learning tools that are oriented towards students' scientific activities so that it is suspected to be the cause of students' low critical thinking skills. This study aims to evaluate the validity of inquiry-based biology learning tools that can explicitly be used to teach critical thinking skills. This research is descriptive-evaluative research because it only evaluates the results of expert judgment on the validity of the developed learning tools. Two validators with professor qualifications were involved in this study to evaluate the validity of the product using the validation sheet instrument. The results showed that the learning tools developed in the form of lesson plans, learning materials, student worksheets, and critical thinking ability tests were generally stated to be valid (score = 3.65) and reliable (score = 0.93) used to teach students' critical thinking skills in system teaching materials Respiratory. Further research related to the practicality test and the effectiveness of the resulting device needs to be carried out in further research

Abstract

The implementation of biology learning in high school focuses more on mastering concepts and minimal processes. This can be seen from the tendency of teachers to use more teacher-oriented learning. This condition also occurs in SMA Negeri 4 Palu, causing low students' critical thinking skills. This study aims to implement guided inquiry-based biology learning tools to improve students' critical thinking skills on the respiratory system material. This research is a quantitative descriptive research with one group pretest-posttest design. This research involved 30 students of class XI SMA Negeri 4 Palu. The learning tools implemented in this study are lesson plans, student worksheets, and learning materials. Test instruments in the form of multiple choices and descriptions are used to measure cognitive learning outcomes and students' critical thinking skills. The implementation of learning and student learning activities were also identified in this study using observation sheets carried out by 2 observers. Data were analyzed descriptively using the n-gain equation. Based on the results of the study it was found that (a) the implementation of learning was good (3.6); (b) The frequency of activities that stand out is that they can improve students' critical thinking skills (c) positive student responses (82); (d) students' critical thinking skills increased (N-gain; 0.76 with high criteria). Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the guided inquiry learning model can improve the critical thinking skills of class XI students at SMA Negeri 4 Palu

Abstract

The Influence of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model on the Learning Outcomes of Fourth-Grade Students at SD Inpres 1 Tanamodindi The problem examined in this study is the low learning outcomes of students in science subjects. This study aims to determine the influence of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SD Inpres 1 Tanamodindi. This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent pretest–posttest control group design. The population of this study consisted of Class IV A as the experimental group and Class IV B as the control group. The sample included all students from both classes, with 19 students in the experimental class and 19 students in the control class, resulting in a total of 38 participants. Data were collected through tests and documentation. Data analysis involved prerequisite tests, including normality tests and homogeneity tests, followed by hypothesis testing using the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 program. Based on the results of hypothesis testing using the Paired Samples t-test, a significant value (sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 was obtained from the pretest and posttest scores of the experimental class. Since 0.000 < 0.05, the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model has a significant influence on the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SD Inpres 1 Tanamodindi.
