Abstract

Creative thinking is a skill that student must posses to support the mastery of 21 st-century skills. In natural science (IPA) learning, this ability plays a role in facilitating students to create ideas, innovation, and constructive thinking. This research aims to explore the level of creative thinking ability of fourth-grade students in science learning at the elementary school level. The type of research used is the qualitative descriptive method. The subject of the research were 50 students, consisting of 28 female students and 22 male students. The data collection technique was carried out through observation, test, and documentation. The research instrument consist of eight essay question formulated based out five indicators of creative thinking ability, namely fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, and metaphorical thinking. The data analysis technique used was source triangulation. The result of the data analysis show that the aspect of fluency dominates the students achievement, followed by flexibility. Meanwhile, originality, elaboration, and metaphorical thinking fall into the less satisfactory category. These findings indicate that students tend to be able to present original ideas, but still need reinforcement in flexible thinking as well as in the use of analogies or metaphors.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between learning motivation and science literacy in primary school students. Motivation is an important factor in learning, while science literacy plays a role in developing critical and analytical thinking skills. Using a quantitative approach and correlational survey design, data were obtained from a sample size of 50 students (n = 50) from five public elementary schools in Cirebon, Indonesia. The research instrument consisted of a Likert scale questionnaire to measure the level of motivation as well as a written test to assess science literacy. The results of descriptive statistical analysis showed that students' motivation level was high, with an mean score of 31.82 out of 40. In contrast, science literacy was in the medium category, with an mean score of 16.02 out of 26. The correlational findings indicated that high motivation does not always go hand in hand with improved science literacy. This suggests that internal motivation needs to be balanced with relevant and contextualized learning strategies. Thus, effective science education demands an integrated approach that not only facilitates students' affective aspects but also enriches learning experiences through explorative and meaningful methods. The main contribution of this study lies in emphasizing the importance of integration.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between academic self-efficacy and mathematical problem-solving among elementary school students in Cirebon, Indonesia. With the increasing recognition of psychological factors in 21st-century education, especially in primary education, there is a need for empirical validation to understand how self-efficacy operates at this developmental stage. A quantitative correlational approach was utilized, involving 50 students from five public elementary schools, chosen through purposive sampling. Data collection involved validated mathematical problem-solving assessments and academic self-efficacy questionnaires. The instruments demonstrated acceptable reliability (Cronbach's alpha > 0.6) and content validity was confirmed by experts in the field. Statistical analyses included tests for normality and homogeneity, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. While the data were not normally distributed, they satisfied the assumptions of homogeneity. The results indicated no significant relationship between academic self-efficacy and problem-solving ability (r = -0.014, p = 0.922), with regression analysis further confirming its negligible predictive power (β = -0.029, p = 0.922). These findings imply that academic self-efficacy may not be a crucial determinant of mathematical problem-solving performance at the elementary level, possibly due to the students’ limited metacognitive development. Theoretically, this study contributes to the field of educational psychology by challenging the universality of self-efficacy's influence in early education. Practically, it prompts educators and policymakers to consider developmental readiness when creating interventions designed to enhance self-belief. Future research should investigate mediating variables such as cognitive strategies, emotional regulation, and classroom environment to better understand academic performance among early learners.
