Abstract

The importance of character education is applied in the learning process. The application of character education to the learning process to instill character values in students can be instilled or developed through Social Sciences (IPS) subjects. The social studies learning process takes place with a contextual approach. The aim of this research is to find out character education through elementary school social studies learning. The method used is literature study. The results of the research are that character education can be instilled or developed in students through Social Sciences (IPS) subjects. The implementation of character education certainly goes through various stages in ongoing social studies learning. Education is basically a conscious effort to develop the potential of students. Character education is an effort to shape children's personalities so that they become good human beings, good citizens of society and a good country. So that we can anticipate the symptoms of crisis that the country will face along with developments over time. Social studies education is a subject that studies social life and the material is based on studies of history, geography, economics, sociology, anthropology and state administration. Through social science learning, character education values can be included by integrating the material in social science learning.

Abstract

Learning motivation is a crucial factor in the success of science learning at the elementary school level, which requires active engagement, curiosity, and persistence from students. However, science learning in elementary schools often faces the problem of low student motivation due to conventional, teacher-centered instructional approaches with limited interaction. This study aimed to improve the learning motivation of fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 0607 Pagaran Batu through the implementation of the Dragon Ball learning model. This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were all fourth-grade students. Data on students’ learning motivation were collected through observation and questionnaires based on motivation indicators. The findings indicate a substantial improvement in students’ learning motivation across cycles. In the pre-cycle stage, students’ motivation was predominantly categorized as low, with an average score of 48%. Following the implementation of the Dragon Ball model, motivation increased to 72% in Cycle I and further improved to 82% in Cycle II, exceeding the minimum success criterion of 75%. The results suggest that the Dragon Ball learning model effectively promotes active engagement, cooperative interaction, and intrinsic motivation in elementary science learning. This study contributes to cooperative learning literature by demonstrating the pedagogical value of game-based collaborative strategies in fostering student motivation at the primary education level.
