Abstract

This paper documents the implementation of the STAD cooperative learning model assisted by pop-up book media to improve the descriptive writing skills of students in class VC UPT SDN 064025 Medan. This study is a classroom action research, which describes the process and results of actions taken in a classroom to improve results and quality of the learning process. The research subjects were students in class VC at UPT SDN Medan in the academic year 2024/2025. There were 25 students in class VC, consisting of 13 female and 12 male students. The research results indicate that implementing the STAD Cooperative Learning Model assisted by Pop-Up Books can improve descriptive writing skills, as evidenced by an increase in the learning completion rate from 64% in cycle I to 84% in cycle II. This shows that the STAD Cooperative Learning Model assisted by Pop-Up Books is suitable for improving elementary school students' descriptive writing skills.

Abstract

The present study analyses the needs and readiness for implementing Science and Social Studies (IPAS) learning based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) integrated with local wisdom values, particularly the Toba Nauli cultural philosophy, at the elementary school level. Motivated by the low science literacy of Indonesian students as revealed in the 2022 PISA results and the lack of contextual relevance in IPAS content, the research adopts a mixed-methods design combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, document analysis, and Likert-scale questionnaires involving 20 teachers and 40 students across four elementary schools in Medan. The research results show that teachers have a positive perception of the importance of PjBL and science literacy, as well as a high belief in the relevance of Toba Nauli values in IPAS learning (M = 4.20; SD = 0.68). However, the limitations of teaching modules, lack of training, and low use of local media have made cultural integration in learning not optimally implemented. On the other hand, students show high enthusiasm for project-based learning. However, their actual experience with learning incorporating local culture is minimal (only 15% of students reported having experienced it). These findings indicate a significant potential yet to be realised within the current IPAS learning system. Therefore, this research recommends developing a PjBL-based IPAS learning model that incorporates the Toba Nauli philosophy as a foundation for the local context to enhance students' science literacy in a meaningful, contextual, and culturally rooted manner. These findings are expected to serve as a conceptual and empirical foundation in designing transformative learning innovations in elementary schools.

Abstract

The present study is motivated by ninth-grade students' low science learning outcomes at SMP Negeri 2 Labuhan Deli. The study aimed to improve students' science learning outcomes using the concept map method. The research instruments used in this study were observation and test questions. The data analysis shows an improvement in students' learning outcomes. In the pre-test on dynamic electricity, only seven students (33.3%) achieved a score of 70 or above, while 14 students (66.6%) did not. The average pre-test score was 62. After being taught using the concept map method, in the post-test, 18 students (85.7%) were deemed to have achieved mastery if their scores were equal to or above the minimum passing grade of 70, while three students (14.3%) did not achieve mastery. Thus, applying the concept map learning method to dynamic electricity material is quite effective because it can improve student learning outcomes. The N-gain test data calculation also yielded an N-Gain score of 46.01%, which falls under the Effective N-Gain Interpretation Category. -Gain Interpretation Category, where a score of 46–75 is interpreted as sufficiently effective in improving student learning outcomes.
