Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a PhET-assisted practical method on the character development and academic achievement of IPA students at SDN Kepandean 03. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was employed. The sample consisted of 28 students in the experimental group and 28 students in the control group, randomly selected from classes VA and VB. The results indicated that the experimental group, which utilized the PhET-assisted practical method, exhibited significant improvements in both character development (posttest mean: 83.75) and academic achievement (posttest mean: 85.11), compared to the control group (character: 77.71, academic achievement: 74.89). These findings suggest that the PhET-assisted practical method is an effective approach for enhancing students' character and academic performance in IPA.

Abstract

This study investigates the development and effectiveness of Construct 2-based Mind Mapping media in enhancing fifth-grade students’ reading comprehension and learning outcomes on exposition text material. The research followed a Research and Development (RD) approach using the ADDIE model, which includes Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation phases. A mixed methods design was applied to explore both the development process and its impact on learning. Participants included fifth-grade students from SDN 1 Kalikebo, Klaten. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and reading comprehension tests. The data analysis involved descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests with normality prerequisite testing, and n-gain calculations to measure learning improvements. The findings indicate that the Construct 2-based Mind Mapping media significantly improved students’ reading comprehension and learning outcomes. The interactive and accessible design of the media made it engaging and aligned with students' learning needs. This supports existing theories emphasizing the benefits of visual learning tools in enhancing comprehension. The results also highlight the media’s relevance and appeal, suggesting that it can be a practical aid for both teachers and students in classroom settings. The study concludes that innovative, interactive learning media can play a critical role in improving academic outcomes. It encourages educators to adopt such media to enrich their teaching strategies and better support students’ learning experiences.

Abstract

Students’ low proficiency in writing Javanese script remains a significant challenge in Javanese language instruction at SD Negeri 1 Grantung, Purbalingga Regency. This issue is largely attributed to students’ difficulties in mastering script forms and the limited use of varied and engaging instructional media. Therefore, innovative learning media are needed to improve students’ writing skills. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the SINJAWA Pop-Up Book integrated with augmented reality (AR) in improving fifth-grade students’ Javanese script writing skills. The research employed a research and development (RD) approach based on the ADDIE model. Participants included 25 fifth-grade students, consisting of six students in a small-group trial and 19 students in a large-group trial, as well as classroom teachers and material and media experts. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, questionnaires, and pretest–posttest assessments. Data analysis involved feasibility validation, practicality analysis, normality testing, and N-Gain analysis. The validation results indicated that the learning media were highly feasible, with scores of 94.28% from material experts and 91.66% from media experts. Practicality assessment showed very positive responses from students (95.2%) and teachers (93.33%). Learning outcomes improved significantly, as reflected by an N-Gain score of 74.48%, categorized as effective. The SINJAWA Pop-Up Book integrated with AR is a feasible, practical, and effective learning medium for enhancing fifth-grade students’ Javanese script writing skills.
