Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model on the cognitive abilities of fifth-grade students in learning the topic “My Region, My Pride” at MIS Maura El-Mumtaz, Binjai City. The research seeks to determine whether CTL, which connects learning material to real-life experiences, enhances students’ understanding compared to conventional methods. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed. The sample consisted of 40 students divided into an experimental group (taught using CTL) and a control group (taught without CTL). Data were collected through pretests and posttests, and statistical analysis, including N-Gain scores, was used to measure learning improvement. The findings revealed a significant difference in posttest scores between the experimental and control groups (*p* < 0.05), with the CTL group achieving a higher average score (89.95) compared to the control group (75.65). The N-Gain analysis further confirmed greater improvement in the experimental class (82.70) than in the control class (57.16). This study contributes to existing literature by empirically validating the effectiveness of CTL in enhancing cognitive abilities in social studies, particularly in local wisdom-based learning an area that has received limited attention in prior research. The results suggest that educators should consider adopting CTL strategies to make learning more meaningful and engaging, particularly in subjects requiring contextual understanding, such as social studies. This research provides evidence supporting CTL as an effective pedagogical approach, offering insights for curriculum developers and teachers aiming to improve student learning outcomes through experiential and context-based instruction.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Diorama media on fifth-grade students’ critical thinking skills in social studies at MIS Asmaul Husna. A quantitative experimental design was employed, involving 38 fifth-grade students divided equally into control and experimental groups (19 students each). Data were collected through pretest-posttest assessments to measure critical thinking skills before and after Diorama media implementation in the experimental group. Hypothesis testing revealed a statistically significant effect (sig. 2-tailed = 0.000 < 0.05), confirming that Diorama media enhances critical thinking skills. The experimental group showed marked improvement compared to the control group, leading to the acceptance of Ha (alternative hypothesis) and rejection of Ho (null hypothesis). This study pioneers the application of Diorama media in social studies education at the elementary level, demonstrating its efficacy as an innovative pedagogical tool for fostering higher-order thinking skills. Educators can adopt Diorama media to create engaging, tactile learning experiences that promote active student participation and critical analysis in social studies curricula. The findings provide empirical evidence supporting the integration of visual-spatial learning tools in elementary education, offering a replicable model for enhancing critical thinking through multisensory instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of an Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) module for the topic “My Indonesia is Rich” in enhancing critical thinking skills among fifth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. Employing Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the module underwent rigorous validation by material, media, and language experts, achieving an average score of 4.00 (very good category). Effectiveness was tested via pretest-posttest assessments involving 20 students. The module significantly improved critical thinking, with average scores rising from 52.50 (pretest) to 83.25 (posttest) and an N-Gain of 0.65 (medium–high category). Student feedback yielded an average score of 68.5/80 (very good), confirming the module’s usability and appeal. This study pioneers an IBL-based module tailored to Madrasah Ibtidaiyah’s social studies curriculum, bridging pedagogical innovation with cultural relevance in Indonesian elementary education. The validated module offers teachers a ready-to-use, contextual tool to foster active, meaningful learning aligned with madrasa students’ needs. The research provides an evidence-based model for developing IBL materials that enhance critical thinking while preserving local cultural context, applicable to similar educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to develop illustrated thematic box media for Social Studies, specifically focusing on the material about the History of the Entry of Islam from the perspective of Surah Al-Hasyr, Verse 18, at SMPN 1 Pagar Merbau. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The validation results from material, media, and language experts indicate that the media is suitable for use, with an average score exceeding 75%. The practicality test conducted by teachers yielded a result of 88%, indicating that the media is practical for use in the learning process. Meanwhile, the results of a limited trial with 35 students showed a feasibility level of 98.85%, accompanied by an increase in learning outcomes, with a standard gain value of 0.355, which falls into the moderate category. The results of the Independent Samples t-Test revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control classes (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05), with the average learning outcomes of students in the experimental class being 9.42 points higher. Therefore, the illustrated thematic box media has proven to be effective in enhancing students’ understanding, motivation, and involvement in interactive and contextual Social Studies learning, and is capable of integrating Islamic values through a thematic approach.
