Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the ways in which thematic learning influences students so that they understand science concepts in fourth grade. It is the low level of students’ conceptual understanding within science that drives at this research, and rote memorization still dominates in fact. A quasi-experimental method uses a quantitative approach within the study. The research design is a pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental group did receive thematic learning treatment at that time. The control group did receive conventional instruction instead of something else. In the study were thirty fourth-grade students divided equally into two groups. The researchers mainly used a test for science concept understanding. That test collected data. For analyzing data, t-tests were involved, along with normality tests and homogeneity tests. Thematic learning students showed a key improvement versus the control group's scores after the tests. Thematic learning connects academic content to students’ real-life experiences. It shows better understanding about science, especially ideas on energy change. Responses from students regarding the thematic learning model were positive. It suggests improved academic outcomes along with a more meaningful and enjoyable classroom environment. Therefore, thematic learning is an effective approach indeed. Elementary science education can get better.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media through the GeoGebra application on the mathematics learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in the topic of geometric solids. This research was motivated by the low understanding of students regarding geometric solid concepts, which are abstract and difficult to visualize through conventional media. The method used is a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group. The sample consisted of two classes, each with 15 students, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research instruments included learning outcome tests and student response questionnaires. The results showed that students who learned using GeoGebra AR showed a significant improvement in learning outcomes compared to those taught by conventional methods. GeoGebra AR media provided a more concrete, interactive, and engaging learning experience. Thus, AR-based learning media can be an effective alternative to enhance students' conceptual understanding of mathematics in elementary schools.
