Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by pop-up book media on the critical thinking skills of fourth-grade students in the IPAS subject. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group design. The sample consisted of two classes: the experimental group, which used the PBL model with pop-up book assistance, and the control group, which used the cooperative Think Pair Share method. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test based on indicators of critical thinking skills. The data analysis revealed a significant difference in posttest scores between experimental and control groups. The experimental group achieved higher learning outcomes, indicating that the combination of PBL and visual media such as pop-up books effectively enhances students’ critical thinking skills. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of a problem-based learning model and visual media in IPAS instruction, particularly for fourth-grade students who had never used such media before. This approach has proven to encourage active student engagement and provide a more enjoyable and meaningful learning experience.

Abstract

This study investigates the writing difficulties experienced by students with dysgraphia and evaluates the effectiveness of Word Board media as an instructional intervention. The objective of this research is to identify specific patterns of writing challenges among students with dysgraphia and to assess the impact of a multisensory teaching tool in overcoming those challenges. The study involved 20 students from MI Al-Hidayah and MIS Nurul Asyrof, consisting of 10 students from grade 2 and 10 from grade 3. The participants were selected using purposive sampling based on signs of writing difficulties. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using classroom observation, interviews, and document analysis for data collection, while thematic analysis was used to interpret the findings. The results revealed consistent issues such as confusion between visually similar letters (e.g., "b" and "d"), substitution of letters with numbers (e.g., "s" as "5"), irregular spacing, inconsistent capitalization, and letter reversal. After a four-week intervention using Word Board media, students demonstrated improvements in letter differentiation, spacing, motor coordination, and writing confidence. These findings suggest that Word Board media is a practical, low-tech, and inclusive solution for supporting literacy development among students with learning difficulties. The study contributes to the fields of educational psychology and inclusive education by emphasizing the importance of multisensory teaching strategies in early literacy instruction.

Abstract

The background of this research is the low participation of students in the learning process, which has an impact on poor conceptual understanding. Therefore, this research aims to improve students' conceptual understanding through the application of the Learning Start with a Question (LSQ) strategy assisted by Question Card Media in the subject of IPAS. This type of research uses the Classroom Action Research model. This research took place in Class V State Elementary Madrasah 7 Bandar Lampung. The research took place in two cycles consisting of the planning stage, implementation of actions, observation, and reflection on the material of Knowing the Location and Nature of Indonesia. The findings of the study indicated that the application of the LSQ method assisted by question cards was effective in improving students' conceptual understanding in IPAS learning. There was a significant increase in students' conceptual understanding from cycle I to cycle II, with the level of activity reaching a peak of 92.5% in cycle II. Students' understanding also experienced a positive increase from cycle to cycle. The number of students who achieved the Learning Objectives Achievement Criteria increased in each cycle, with cycle 1 at 81% increasing to 92.5% in cycle II. The reflection and adjustment process in each cycle made a positive contribution to the success of the learning method. The implications of this study include the potential application of the Learning Starts With A Question method assisted by Question Card media to improve students' understanding, participation, and activeness in IPAS learning.
