Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of using Secret Box media to enhance fourth-grade elementary school students’ understanding of diversity-related concepts. The research was motivated by the low level of student comprehension, as evidenced by initial learning evaluation results showing a mastery rate of only 33%. Employing a classroom action research (CAR) approach, the study was conducted in two cycles at UPT SDN 066055 Medan. In the first cycle, the implementation of media was suboptimal, resulting in a moderate increase in learning completeness to 67%. To address this, the second cycle involved the integration of Secret Box media with supporting instructional videos, leading to a significant improvement in student outcomes. Final assessments showed that 92% of students achieved mastery. The findings indicate that Secret Box media not only facilitates better understanding of diversity content but also fosters active engagement, enthusiasm, and curiosity among students during the learning process. This study concludes that creative and contextual learning tools like the Secret Box can effectively bridge conceptual gaps in elementary classrooms, particularly in abstract thematic subjects such as social diversity.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Water Cycle Diorama media integrated with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing fourth-grade elementary students’ conceptual understanding of the water cycle. The research was motivated by the students' difficulty in visualizing and comprehending the dynamic processes within the water cycle. Utilizing classroom action research across two cycles—comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection—this study was conducted at SD Negeri 066055 Medan. Data collection involved conceptual understanding tests and observation of student participation. The findings revealed a notable improvement in learning outcomes, with the percentage of concept mastery rising to 67% in the first cycle and reaching 100% in the second cycle. The implementation of the Water Cycle Diorama media significantly fostered active engagement and increased enthusiasm among students. Furthermore, the PBL approach supported deeper and more concrete comprehension of abstract scientific processes. These results emphasize the importance of integrating innovative, learner-centered strategies into science instruction at the primary level to promote meaningful learning and long-term conceptual retention.
