Abstract

Modernization and urbanization have brought significant changes to children's living environments, often impacting the development of their environmental identity. The loss of green spaces, urban sprawl, and cultural shifts have reduced children's emotional connection to their residential environments. This study employs a descriptive phenomenological approach to explore children’s subjective experiences in interpreting their environment amidst modernization challenges. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and narrative analysis to uncover the essence of children’s experiences with physical and social environments. The findings reveal that children’s environmental identity is influenced by physical factors, such asgreen spaces and play facilities, as well as social factors, such as family and community support. Additionally, children’s interaction with digital spaces shapes their perception of the real environment. This research offers recommendations for educators, urban planners, and policymakers to create environments that holistically support the development of children's environmental identity, especially in the context of rapid urbanization.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low academic performance of students in mathematics, particularly in the topic of solid geometry, which requires strong visualization and spatial reasoning skills. The purpose of this research is to investigate the extent to which the use of visual media can enhance the mathematics learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SDN Langsar I. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted over two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The results of the study indicated a significant improvement in students' learning outcomes following the implementation of visual media in the learning process. In the pre-action phase, only 3 students met the Minimum Mastery Criteria (MMC). After the implementation of Cycle I, the number of students who achieved mastery increased to 7 students, representing 43.75% of the class. A more substantial improvement was observed in Cycle II, where 14 students, or 87.5%, successfully met the MMC. These findings demonstrate that the integration of visual media such as images, 3D models, and other visual aids has a positive impact on students' conceptual understanding and academic achievement in learning solid geometry. Therefore, visual media can be considered an effective alternative teaching strategy to improve the quality of mathematics instruction at the elementary school level.
