Abstract

This study aims to analyze the correlation between digital-based learning tools and the interest in learning Indonesian among sixth-grade students at UPT SDN 060849, Medan Barat District, Medan City. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an associative research type. The research sample consisted of 31 students selected using a sampling technique based on the Isaac and Michael formula. The research instrument was a questionnaire whose validity and reliability had been tested using SPSS 22. The results of the validity test showed that 16 questions related to learning tools and 18 questions related to learning interests were declared valid. The reliability test using the Cronbach Alpha technique showed a value of 0.818 for learning tools and 0.899 for learning interests, which are categorized as very high. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that 53% of students agreed that the classroom had sufficient lighting, and 76% of students strongly agreed that the cleanliness of the classroom made them comfortable in learning. In addition, 59% of students strongly agreed that the classroom was always cleaned every day. In terms of learning interests, 71% of students showed a high interest in digital-based learning. The results of the hypothesis test using simple linear regression showed an r value of 0.654 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 42.8%, indicating that digital-based learning tools have a positive and significant correlation with interest in learning Indonesian. Therefore, the better the digital facilities available, the higher the student's interest in learning. This study recommends improving digital tools in schools to optimize the Indonesian language learning process and providing teacher training in the use of educational technology

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students' procedural texts in the Indonesian Language subject in grade V UPT SD Negeri 060874 Medan City. The learning process is still less active, which causes students to be less enthusiastic in learning. Many students tend to chat or play during lessons, so that the material is not conveyed optimally. This condition has an impact on low student grades in the Indonesian Language subject, especially in understanding and writing procedural texts. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether the application of the Problem Solving method can improve student learning outcomes in learning procedural texts. This study uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects in this study were fifth grade students of UPT SD Negeri 060874 Medan City in the 2025-2026 Academic Year. Data were collected through observation of student activities during learning and learning outcome tests in each cycle to determine the improvements that occurred. The results showed that the application of the Problem Solving method can significantly improve student learning outcomes. In cycle I, the percentage of student learning completion reached 70%, while in cycle II it increased to 95%. Thus, there was an increase of 25% after the application of the Problem Solving method. This increase is also supported by changes in student behavior who are more active in learning, more focused on the material, and able to solve problems given in learning procedural texts. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Problem Solving method is an effective learning strategy in improving student learning outcomes. Therefore, this method is recommended to be used in Indonesian language learning to increase student engagement and better learning outcomes
