Abstract

Developing critical thinking and communication skills is essential for prospective teachers in facing the demands of 21st-century education. Case-Based Learning (CBL) provides authentic problem contexts that encourage active discussion, collaboration, and reasoning. This study examined the effect of CBL on team communication skills in the Social Science Education course for PGSD students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendal Batang (UMKABA). A quantitative descriptive design with a pre-test–posttest approach was used, involving 24 students selected through saturation sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires supported by observations and interviews, and analyzed using paired sample t-tests. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ team communication skills after CBL implementation. The average communication score increased from 66.33% (Good) in the pre-test to 81.83% (Very Good) in the posttest (t = -19.728, p 0.001). Improvements were also observed in collaboration and interaction indicators, demonstrating that CBL fostered active participation, constructive dialogue, and teamwork. These results confirm that CBL effectively enhances not only students’ cognitive engagement but also their interpersonal skills, which are critical for future teachers. The findings align with constructivist learning theory, emphasizing that meaningful knowledge is developed through collaborative and interactive processes. CBL significantly improves PGSD students’ communication, collaboration, and interaction skills in social science education. This study suggests that integrating CBL into teacher education curricula can strengthen graduates’ readiness as adaptive and communicative educators.

Abstract

Storytelling is one of the essential language skills that should be developed in elementary school students. However, the storytelling skills of third-grade students were still not optimal, particularly in terms of speaking fluency, intonation, facial expressions, and self-confidence when performing in front of the class. Therefore, hand puppet media were used as a learning tool to help improve students’ storytelling skills. This study aimed to describe the implementation of hand puppet media in storytelling learning activities and to identify the improvement in students’ storytelling skills after the implementation of the media. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were 39 third-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Weleri. Data were collected through observation, storytelling performance tests, interviews, and documentation. The findings showed that the implementation of hand puppet media created a more active, engaging, and enjoyable learning atmosphere, encouraging students to become more confident in telling stories. Improvements were observed in students’ fluency, intonation, facial expressions, and confidence during storytelling activities in front of the class. The students’ average score increased from 64.5 in Cycle I to 77.0 in Cycle II, while the percentage of learning mastery improved from 54% to 85%. Therefore, the implementation of hand puppet media proved effective in improving the storytelling skills of third-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Weleri. ABSTRAK Kemampuan bercerita merupakan salah satu keterampilan berbahasa yang penting dikembangkan pada siswa sekolah dasar. Namun, kemampuan bercerita siswa kelas III masih belum optimal, terutama pada aspek kelancaran berbicara, penggunaan intonasi, ekspresi, dan rasa percaya diri ketika tampil di depan kelas. Oleh karena itu, media boneka tangan digunakan sebagai sarana pembelajaran untuk membantu meningkatkan keterampilan bercerita siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan media boneka tangan dalam pembelajaran bercerita serta mengetahui peningkatan keterampilan bercerita siswa setelah penerapan media tersebut. Penelitian menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus. Setiap siklus terdiri atas tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah 39 siswa kelas III SD Negeri 1 Weleri. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, tes keterampilan bercerita, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan media boneka tangan mampu menciptakan suasana pembelajaran yang lebih aktif, menarik, dan menyenangkan sehingga siswa menjadi lebih percaya diri dalam menyampaikan cerita. Peningkatan keterampilan bercerita terlihat pada aspek kelancaran, intonasi, ekspresi, dan keberanian siswa saat tampil di depan kelas. Nilai rata-rata siswa meningkat dari 64,5 pada siklus I menjadi 77,0 pada siklus II, sedangkan persentase ketuntasan belajar meningkat dari 54% pada siklus I menjadi 85% pada siklus II. Dengan demikian, penerapan media boneka tangan terbukti dapat meningkatkan keterampilan bercerita siswa kelas III SD Negeri 1 Weleri.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the synergy of the Four Centers of Education in creating an active and effective learning ecosystem, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors, and explain the impact of the synergy of the Four Centers of Education on improving student participation and the effectiveness of the learning process at MI-Tahfidzul Qur’an Muhammadiyah Sumberejo. The background of this study is based on the low level of student participation in learning activities, which are still predominantly teacher-centered, causing students to be less actively involved in the learning process. Education does not merely take place at school but also involves families, communities, and social media as environments that influence students’ learning development. This study employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to understand the experiences and meanings perceived by educational stakeholders. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed that the synergy among families, schools, communities, and social media was able to create an active, participatory, conducive, and contextual learning environment. This synergy was implemented through project-based learning, active communication between schools and parents, community involvement in learning activities, and the utilization of social media as a medium for information and educational purposes. Furthermore, the synergy of the Four Centers of Education had a positive impact on increasing students’ participation, critical thinking skills, communication skills, learning motivation, discipline, and the effectiveness of the learning process both inside and outside the classroom. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan sinergi Catur Pusat Pendidikan dalam menciptakan ekosistem pembelajaran aktif dan efektif, mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor pendukung dan penghambat, serta menjelaskan dampak sinergi Catur Pusat Pendidikan terhadap peningkatan keaktifan dan efektivitas proses pembelajaran di MI Tahfidzul Qur’an Muhammadiyah Sumberejo. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada masih rendahnya keterlibatan aktif siswa dalam pembelajaran yang cenderung berpusat pada guru sehingga siswa kurang berpartisipasi secara optimal dalam proses belajar. Pendidikan pada dasarnya tidak hanya berlangsung di sekolah, tetapi juga melibatkan keluarga, masyarakat, dan media sosial sebagai lingkungan yang berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan belajar siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologi untuk memahami pengalaman dan makna yang dirasakan oleh para pelaku pendidikan. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sinergi antara keluarga, sekolah, masyarakat, dan media sosial mampu menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang aktif, partisipatif, kondusif, dan kontekstual. Sinergi tersebut diwujudkan melalui pembelajaran berbasis proyek, komunikasi aktif antara sekolah dan orang tua, keterlibatan masyarakat dalam kegiatan pembelajaran, serta pemanfaatan media sosial sebagai sarana informasi dan edukasi. Selain itu, sinergi Catur Pusat Pendidikan memberikan dampak positif terhadap meningkatnya keaktifan siswa, keterampilan berpikir kritis, kemampuan komunikasi, motivasi belajar, kedisiplinan, serta efektivitas proses pembelajaran baik di dalam maupun di luar kelas.
