Abstract

Creative thinking is an important competence in elementary education because students need to generate ideas, use different strategies, create original responses, and elaborate their thinking in solving learning problems. In Natural and Social Sciences, creative thinking is particularly relevant because students are expected to observe phenomena, ask questions, design simple solutions, and connect scientific and social knowledge with daily life. This study investigated the improvement of fourth-grade students’ creative thinking skills through Project-Based Learning in Natural and Social Sciences at SDN 060971. The study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 30 fourth-grade students. The main variable was students’ creative thinking skills, measured through four indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The score scale ranged from 0 to 100. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, N-Gain analysis, category distribution, and paired-sample t-test. The findings showed that students’ creative thinking skills improved from a pretest mean of 52.70 to a posttest mean of 77.25, with a mean gain of 24.55 points. The mean N-Gain was 0.52, which was categorized as moderate. The paired-sample t-test showed a statistically significant improvement, t(29) = 61.94, p < .001. Before the treatment, 24 students were categorized as less creative and 6 students were categorized as moderately creative. After the treatment, 29 students reached the creative category and only 1 student remained in the moderately creative category. Based on the indicator analysis, the highest improvement appeared in originality and flexibility, while fluency and elaboration also improved at a moderate level. The study concludes that Project-Based Learning can improve fourth-grade students’ creative thinking skills in Natural and Social Sciences, especially when students are guided to explore problems, design products, collaborate, present ideas, and reflect on their learning process.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of an AI-integrated Deep Learning Project-Based Learning model on the critical thinking skills and scientific literacy of Primary School Teacher Education students at a university in Indonesia. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was employed involving 156 students, with 78 students in the experimental group and 78 students in the control group. Data were collected through critical thinking tests, scientific literacy tests, and a learning engagement questionnaire, then analysed using independent samples t-tests, N-Gain, Cohen’s d, and SEM-PLS. The experimental group achieved higher mean scores in critical thinking skills than the control group (84.28 vs. 71.33) and higher scientific literacy scores (83.10 vs. 71.50). The N-Gain values for critical thinking were 0.71 in the experimental group and 0.46 in the control group, while scientific literacy N-Gain values were 0.69 and 0.47, respectively. Cohen’s d values indicated very large effects for critical thinking skills (4.23) and scientific literacy (4.04). SEM-PLS showed positive relationships between the learning model and engagement (β = 0.72), engagement and critical thinking (β = 0.55), engagement and scientific literacy (β = 0.52), as well as direct effects on critical thinking (β = 0.68) and scientific literacy (β = 0.65). These findings indicate that the model supports meaningful, technology-enhanced learning.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the need for science and social studies learning that can improve students’ learning motivation and learning outcomes through active, concrete, and experience-based learning activities. This study aimed to examine the effect of an experiment-based guided inquiry learning model on fourth-grade elementary students’ learning motivation and science and social studies learning outcomes. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a pretest-posttest control group design was employed. The sample consisted of 43 students, including 22 students in the experimental class and 21 students in the control class. The experimental class was taught using the experiment-based guided inquiry learning model, while the control class received conventional instruction. The research instruments included a science and social studies achievement test, a learning motivation questionnaire, and a learning implementation observation sheet. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and independent samples t-tests. The results showed that the average learning motivation score of the experimental class was 90.15%, which was higher than that of the control class at 72.22%. The average posttest score of the experimental class was 86.00, while the control class obtained 76.24. The hypothesis testing results showed a significance value of less than 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the experimental and control classes. Therefore, the experiment-based guided inquiry learning model had a positive effect on fourth-grade students’ learning motivation and science and social studies learning outcomes.

Abstract

Science and social studies learning in elementary schools still faces challenges related to students’ low learning outcomes due to limited active participation in the learning process. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) cooperative learning model on the science and social studies learning outcomes of fifth-grade elementary school students. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 28 fifth-grade students at Sukamaju Catholic Elementary School, Medan Sunggal, selected through total sampling. The research instrument was a learning achievement test administered before and after the implementation of the NHT model. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a normality test, and a paired sample t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that students’ mean pretest score was 57.3, which increased to 84.7 in the posttest, indicating an improvement of 27.4 points. After the implementation of the NHT model, 22 students, or 79%, achieved the learning objective achievement criteria. The paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between students’ learning outcomes before and after the treatment. Therefore, the Numbered Heads Together cooperative learning model had a positive and significant effect on fifth-grade students’ science and social studies learning outcomes. This model can be used as an active learning alternative that promotes cooperation, responsibility, and student engagement in understanding science and social studies material.

Abstract

This study was conducted at SD Negeri 076098 Dao-Dao involving 30 fifth-grade students as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. The research was motivated by the low level of student activeness, understanding, and creativity due to the dominance of conventional teaching methods. To address this issue, a Project Based Learning (PjBL) model based on Nias local cultural wisdom was implemented on the topic “Oh, Damaged Environment.” The study aimed to determine the effect of the PjBL model on students’ creativity in IPAS learning. The research employed an experimental method with a pretest-posttest design. Research instruments included learning achievement tests and creativity questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability (r = 0.899). The results showed an increase in the average score from 55.4 in the pretest to 82.93 in the posttest, with 26 out of 30 students achieving mastery learning. The questionnaire results indicated a very positive response with an average score of 86.80. The normality test showed that the data were normally distributed (Lcount 0.1167 < Ltable 0.161), while the correlation test produced rcount 0.975 > rtable 0.361, indicating a very strong relationship between the PjBL model and students’ creativity. The hypothesis test showed tcount 23.442 > ttable 1.697, thus Ha was accepted. The increase in creativity was observed in aspects of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Therefore, the Project Based Learning model based on Nias local cultural wisdom has a positive and significant effect on enhancing students’ creativity in IPAS learning at the elementary school level.
