Abstract

The integration of technology into elementary mathematics education remains limited, leading to challenges in fostering students' critical thinking skills, especially in abstract topics such as flat shapes. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of Articulate Storyline-based learning media in improving the critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students on the topic of rectangular flat shapes (squares and rectangles). The research employed a Research and Development (RD) approach based on the Borg and Gall model. The participants were 34 fifth-grade students from SD Negeri Tambakaji 03, Semarang. Data were collected through expert validation questionnaires (material and media experts), student response questionnaires, and pretest-posttest instruments. Validity and reliability tests were conducted to ensure the quality of the instruments, and effectiveness was analyzed using the N-gain and t-test. The results show that the developed Articulate Storyline media achieved a validity score of 92%, indicating it is highly feasible for classroom use. Student responses also showed positive acceptance and high practicality. Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills, with an average N-gain score of 0.7084, classified as high. In conclusion, the use of Articulate Storyline media effectively enhances students' critical thinking abilities in mathematics, particularly in learning about flat shapes. The study supports the incorporation of interactive digital media as a pedagogical tool to bridge the gap between abstract mathematical concepts and engaging learning experiences at the elementary level.

Abstract

The Javanese language, particularly its unggah-ungguh or speech levels, plays a vital role in conveying cultural values. However, fifth-grade students at SDN Kalisegoro, Semarang, show low proficiency in using Krama, the formal Javanese register. The rise of digital technology has contributed to decreased exposure and practice of traditional linguistic structures in everyday communication. This qualitative descriptive study employed a case study approach to investigate students' understanding of unggah-ungguh, the factors affecting its usage, and possible interventions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two teachers and four students, as well as document analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal that while students recognize basic Krama vocabulary, they struggle to construct sentences correctly and confidently. Contributing factors include minimal use of Krama at home, lack of motivation, limited school-based reinforcement, and the influence of informal digital communication. Teachers primarily rely on traditional lecture methods, which further reduce student engagement. The results suggest a need for innovative, student-centered learning strategies that integrate digital tools while reinforcing cultural values. To strengthen unggah-ungguh usage, schools should adopt interactive methods such as gamification and digital storytelling. Parental involvement and school policies that support cultural language use are also essential. These efforts can help preserve Javanese speech etiquette among younger generations in the digital era.
