Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the impact of integrating problem-based learning (PBL) with Google Earth on the critical thinking skills of elementary school students. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, employing a pretest-posttest experimental-control group design. Fifty elementary school students were selected through purposive sampling, consisting of 26 students in the experimental group and 24 students in the control group. The research instruments included a critical thinking skills test based on Facione's dimensions (interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and explanation), as well as an observation sheet to measure learning activities. The results of the ANCOVA analysis of the pretest-posttest scores showed a significant increase in students' critical thinking skills in the experimental group (p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 3.24), indicating a very strong effect.Furthermore, the MANOVA and ANOVA results also confirmed a significant increase in all five dimensions of critical thinking, with the largest effect being on the evaluation dimension. These findings suggest that integrating satellite imagery into PBL learning can provide a contextual and meaningful learning experience. Thus, the use of technology like Google Earth not only enhances critical thinking skills but also fosters deeper environmental awareness in students. It is hoped that this learning implementation can become an innovative alternative in environmental education in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the challenges and strategies employed by multi-subject teachers in carrying out the teaching and learning process at SD Nurul Sakinah Azzahrah, Sorong City. The emergence of multi-subject teachers is a consequence of the limited number of educators, requiring one teacher to handle several subjects beyond their area of expertise. This research applied a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation review. The findings reveal that teachers face several major challenges, including limited time for lesson preparation, varying levels of subject mastery, and a lack of learning media and facilities. Nevertheless, teachers demonstrate adaptability by employing strategies such as utilizing simple technology, creating context-based learning materials from the local environment, and adjusting instructional approaches to students’ characteristics. Support from school leadership and collaboration among teachers also enhance the effectiveness of learning. The study concludes that creativity, professional reflection, and strong commitment are key factors in ensuring the success of multi-subject teachers in maintaining learning quality in elementary schools with limited resources.
