Abstract

Students' interest in learning Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects in elementary schools remains relatively low, as indicated by the limited active participation of students during lessons, which affects the achievement of optimal learning outcomes. This issue is mainly caused by the lack of varied learning models and media, resulting in monotonous and less engaging learning activities. This study aims to improve the learning interest of Grade III students at SDN Tanjungrejo 05 in the IPAS subject through the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Educaplay Froggy Jumps, a web-based educational game. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle included four stages: planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations of student activities and learning interest questionnaires administered before and after the actions. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative techniques. The results indicated a significant increase in students' learning interest from the first to the second cycle. In the first cycle, the average learning interest reached 78%, increasing to 90% by the end of the second cycle. The use of the PBL model assisted by digital educational game media effectively enhanced students' attention, engagement, interest, and enjoyment in learning IPAS material. These findings suggest that integrating problem-based learning with interactive digital media can be an effective and enjoyable alternative strategy for increasing students' learning interest in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the results of an analysis of fourth-grade students' and their parents' self-confidence in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data analysis was conducted using a self-confidence survey questionnaire completed by students, and the results revealed parents' views on their children's levels of self-confidence in the context of learning in elementary school. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design incorporating a survey as the primary data collection instrument. It involved 56 fourth-grade students and their 56 parents. Data collection was conducted using a self-confidence questionnaire validated using a Likert scale. The results of the analysis of student self-confidence indicators included the ability to understand material (85%), the courage to express opinions (75%), readiness to face challenges (80%), and cooperation in groups (75%). Meanwhile, the results of the questionnaire on parents' confidence in accompanying their children's learning were 79.38%, openness to receiving advice from teachers or the school was 84.17%, and role modeling to foster children's self-confidence was 80.83%. These data show that both parents and students have relatively high levels of self-confidence. However, there are variations in students' confidence in expressing opinions and in parents' ability to support their children's learning. These findings confirm that collaboration between parents and students can build children's self-confidence and play a strategic role in learning success in elementary school.
