Abstract

Students' conceptual understanding of Natural Sciences and Social Sciences (IPAS) on the topic of the solar system is still low due to the dominance of conventional, non-interactive learning media. This condition highlights the need for technological innovations that provide contextual and engaging learning experiences. This study aims to test the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media in improving students' conceptual understanding. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving two sixth-grade classes at SDN Sanding 2, Petir District, with a total of 60 students. The experimental class used AR media, while the control class used conventional 2D images. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test to determine the difference in the average score increase between the experimental and control groups, after first conducting a normality and homogeneity prerequisite test. The results of the independent t-test show that t_count = 5.92 > t_table = 2.00 with a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. The average conceptual understanding score in the experimental class increased by 18.6 points, compared to 6.4 points in the control class. These findings indicate that Augmented Reality-based learning media effectively improves conceptual understanding and student engagement in learning about the solar system in elementary education.

Abstract

Understanding mathematical concepts is an important skill in developing numeracy literacy in elementary school students. However, initial observations at SDN Bandung 1 in Serang District show that some fifth-grade students still have difficulty understanding basic mathematical concepts, especially in the subject of fraction calculations. This occurs because learning is still teacher-centered and does not sufficiently relate mathematical concepts to real-life contexts. This study aims to determine the effect of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on students' understanding of mathematical concepts. The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent control group type. The research sample consisted of 41 students, namely 21 students in the experimental class and 20 students in the control class. The results of the analysis using the t-test showed a t-value of 3.52 > t-table = 2.02 at a significance level of 0.05. The average posttest score of the experimental class was 82.90, which was higher than that of the control class, which was 73.45. These results indicate that the RME approach has a significant effect on improving students' mathematical concept understanding and helps them understand abstract concepts through more contextual and meaningful situations.
