Abstract

Learning motivation significantly influences elementary students' academic achievement, yet many teachers struggle to implement effective motivational strategies. This study analyzes teaching strategies employed to enhance fourth-grade students' learning motivation and identifies supporting and inhibiting factors in strategy implementation.  A qualitative descriptive design was employed, with data collected through one-week systematic classroom observation, semi-structured interviews with the classroom teacher and school principal, and documentation review at SD Alkhairaat Tondo. Data were analyzed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing processes. Six core motivational strategies were identified: (1) clear communication of learning objectives with ice-breaking activities, (2) association of content with students' daily lives, (3) implementation of varied and interactive teaching methods including technology integration, (4) consistent positive reinforcement through praise and tangible rewards, (5) personal approaches to individual students, and (6) joint evaluation with comprehensive reflection. Progressive increases in student engagement and participation were observed across the week. Supporting factors included adequate facilities, administrative support, professional development, and positive school culture, while inhibiting factors encompassed heterogeneous student motivation, time constraints, and varying confidence levels. Effective motivation enhancement requires comprehensive, integrated implementation of multiple evidence-based strategies. The findings validate convergence between teachers' intuitive practices and research-based motivation principles, offering practical models for educators and informing professional development approaches.

Abstract

Motivasi belajar siswa adalah salah satu faktor penting yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan dalam proses pembelajaran, terutama pada mata pelajaran matematika yang sering dianggap sulit oleh siswa. Di kelas IV SD Model Terpadu Madani, motivasi belajar siswa masih rendah, sehingga diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan motivasi mereka. Salah satu pendekatan yang potensial adalah penerapan media interaktif seperti kuis Wordwall dan benda konkret, yang diharapkan mampu menarik minat siswa dan memfasilitasi pemahaman konsep secara visual. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa kelas IV SD Model Terpadu Madani dalam pembelajaran matematika melalui penerapan media interaktif kuis Wordwall dan benda konkret. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilakukan dalam dua siklus. Setiap siklus meliputi tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi, dan refleksi. Motivasi belajar siswa diukur melalui observasi terhadap lima indikator: ketertarikan dan minat belajar, keterlibatan aktif dalam kelas, respons terhadap umpan balik, antusiasme dalam pembelajaran, serta ketekunan dan konsistensi dalam belajar. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan dalam motivasi belajar siswa. Rata-rata motivasi belajar siswa meningkat dari 51% pada prasiklus menjadi 77% pada siklus I, dan mencapai 91% pada siklus II. Peningkatan ini terlihat pada semua indikator, terutama pada aspek ketertarikan, keterlibatan aktif, dan respons terhadap umpan balik. Kesimpulan: Media interaktif kuis Wordwall dan benda konkret terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran matematika. Penggunaan media ini tidak hanya meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa dalam proses pembelajaran, tetapi juga membantu mereka dalam memahami konsep yang abstrak. Disarankan agar media ini digunakan secara berkelanjutan dan diintegrasikan dengan strategi pembelajaran lainnya untuk memaksimalkan hasil belajar siswa.

Abstract

Traditional teacher-centered approaches in Arts and Culture education often result in passive learning and poor conceptual understanding among elementary students. This study investigated the effect of Discovery Learning assisted by concept maps on fifth-grade students' learning outcomes in Arts and Culture at SD Inpres 1 Kawatuna, Palu, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed with 27 fifth-grade students (19 males, 8 females) selected through saturated sampling. The intervention consisted of six 90-minute sessions integrating Discovery Learning with concept mapping activities. Data were collected using a validated cognitive achievement test (Cronbach's α = 0.717) and analyzed using paired-samples t-test and normalized gain analysis.  The paired-samples t-test revealed statistically significant improvement from pretest (M = 56.48, SD = 13.52) to posttest (M = 85.70, SD = 7.89), with t(26) = 10.18, p < 0.001, and an exceptionally large effect size (Cohen's d = 2.54). Normalized gain analysis demonstrated medium-level effectiveness (g = 0.692, 69.2%).  Discovery Learning assisted by concept maps significantly enhances Arts and Culture learning outcomes by fostering active engagement and systematic knowledge organization. The integrated approach addresses passive learning limitations and promotes deeper conceptual understanding, offering evidence-based pedagogical strategies for Indonesian elementary educators.

Abstract

This study examines the multidimensional roles teachers perform in Visual Arts instruction for fifth-grade students within the Merdeka Curriculum framework at SD Inpres 1 Talise, a post-disaster educational context in Palu, Indonesia. Employing qualitative descriptive methodology, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured teacher interviews, and student questionnaires (n=23) measuring perceptions of teacher effectiveness across 20 items. Results revealed that teachers simultaneously enact three primary roles: educator (20.65% of positive responses), facilitator, and motivator, achieving an overall effectiveness rating of 71.56% despite significant resource constraints. Interview data documented sophisticated pedagogical strategies including character modeling, project-based facilitation, and differentiated motivation techniques. However, persistent challenges emerged including limited facilities, constrained instructional time, and inadequate professional development. Unexpectedly, students demonstrated creative adaptation to resource scarcity through material improvisation and peer mentoring. The findings extend existing literature by demonstrating that moral development remains central to arts education even within student-centered curricula, while revealing how teachers in resource-constrained post-disaster contexts employ adaptive strategies to fulfill complex pedagogical responsibilities. This research contributes empirical evidence for developing targeted teacher professional development, schedule restructuring, and infrastructure investment policies that recognize arts education as critical educational and therapeutic infrastructure, particularly in disaster-affected communities.
