Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has transformed primary education, particularly in geometry learning, which relies heavily on visual-spatial skills. This study aims to examine the influence of Google Sites compared to e-books, as well as the role of visual-spatial intelligence, on fourth-grade students’ understanding of area and volume concepts. A quasi-experimental method with a 2x2 factorial design was employed, involving 62 students from SDN Losari, Jombang. The research instruments were validated and found to be reliable. Two-way ANOVA results indicated that both learning media and visual-spatial intelligence significantly affected students’ conceptual understanding (p < 0.05), with a significant interaction between the two variables. Students with high visual-spatial intelligence who used Google Sites achieved the highest learning outcomes. These findings highlight the effectiveness of interactive digital media and the importance of aligning instruction with students’ cognitive characteristics. It is recommended that teachers integrate web-based tools like Google Sites, especially for topics requiring spatial visualization, to foster more adaptive and meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

E-books and G-Sites are increasingly commonly used in geometry learning in elementary schools; therefore, it is necessary to conduct more intensive research to ensure the effectiveness of this digital media in accordance with the characteristics of students.  This study investigated the effect of these media on Grade 4 students who have different levels of visual-spatial intelligence on their understanding of the subject of geometry. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a 2x2 factorial design, pretest-post-test. The research subjects were 62 students.  This study showed that (1) G-Sites is significantly more effective than e-books in improving geometry learning; (2) students who have high visual-spatial intelligence have a better understanding of geometry than those who have low visual-spatial intelligence; and (3) there is an interaction between digital media and students’ visual-spatial intelligence on the understanding of geometry.  G-Sites are a significantly more effective medium for students with low visual-spatial intelligence.  The conclusion is that the use of digital media for geometry material should consider students’ visual-spatial intelligence.  We suggest that the use of e-books should be combined with concrete media. Concrete media can facilitate the process of externalization from 2D representation to 3D understanding, thereby reducing the cognitive load experienced by low-visual-spatial students.  It is necessary to conduct research by considering other characteristics of students.
