This study aims to describe the effect of Wordwall Game Media on creativity and conceptual understanding of elementary school students. This type of research is a quasi-experimental study. The data collection technique is a creativity test and conceptual understanding. The results of the study show that the use of Wordwall Game Media has a significant influence on increasing creativity and conceptual understanding of elementary school students, value of creativity is 0.115 and the sig. value of conceptual understanding is 0.773. The use of this media has been proven to improve students' creative thinking skills, including fluency, flexibility, and elaboration of ideas, as well as deepening their conceptual understanding through more interesting and applicable interactions. Several recommendations can be suggested so that teachers and education practitioners consider the use of Wordwall Game Media as a learning aid to improve students' creativity and conceptual understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to create a simple Differentiated Learning Strategy (DSLS) to improve critical thinking skills and student learning achievement in elementary schools in Jombang Regency. This study aims to help teachers create an inclusive, interactive, and motivating environment for students by addressing the challenges of implementing DSLS and the Merdeka Curriculum policy. The method used is a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent approach. The assessment tools used consist of observation sheets based on Bloom's Taxonomy and learning outcome tests specifically designed to evaluate high-order thinking skills (HOTS) through C4 questions. Data analysis was carried out using repeated measure ANOVA to assess the effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed that the implementation of SDLS significantly improved critical thinking skills and student learning outcomes. This study significantly improves the quality of elementary education and serves as a guide for teachers to implement differentiated learning in other schools.

Abstract

Differentiated learning strategies aim to improve students' learning outcomes and resilience in facing academic challenges. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the strategy among ninth grade students at SMP Negeri Gumukmas. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a total of 98 students, divided into intervention and control groups of 49 students each. The instruments used consisted of a learning outcome test sheet developed from the RPP and grids, a learning resilience observation sheet based on Ann Masten indicators, and a validated and reliable questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Friedman test due to the non-normal distribution of the data. The results showed a significant increase in learning outcomes and resilience for students in the intervention group compared to the control group, with a p-value of less than 0.05. These findings reinforce that differentiated learning strategies are effective in improving learning resilience and improving student learning outcomes.

Abstract

Communication is the most important means of conveying goals; poor communication can lead to the failure of expected goals. This can also occur during the learning process at school. This study aims to enhance students' critical thinking skills and develop their honest character by utilising digital communication media. This research approach utilises R&D combined with the ADDIE model to produce a means of communication between teachers and students in the form of Google Sites learning media integrated with Canva. Experts then validated the resulting learning media to ensure strong results for use in learning. Experts also validated the critical thinking test instrument and the honest character observation sheet to ensure that strong, reliable instruments would be used. The sample of this study consisted of class VII D students of MTsN 2 Jember in the 2024/2025 academic year, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis technique employed N-Gain and was followed by an independent sample t-test, which was subsequently evaluated using Cohen's d test. The results showed that students' critical thinking skills increased to a high category (Cohen's d = -4.501). There was also an increase in students' character scores, which were in the high category (Cohen's d = -5.386). These results suggest that effective communication media can enhance students' critical thinking skills and character. Teacher communication with students using digital media can overcome students' learning difficulties, increase their interest and motivation to learn, and improve their critical thinking skills. Rules regarding assignments and how to monitor them in learning through the Google Sites application train students' character of honesty. Students also responded enthusiastically to the presence of this media. The fatigue they previously experienced in conventional learning was alleviated by delivering more engaging lessons with fresh themes and animations on the Canva display, integrated with Google Sites.
