Abstract

The integration of Science and Social Studies (IPAS) in Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum requires pedagogical approaches that foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, fourth-grade students at SD Inpres 1 Tondo demonstrated low critical thinking abilities and passive learning behaviors, with only 37.04% achieving mastery in IPAS. This study examined the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in improving student learning outcomes in IPAS subjects. A classroom action research design following the Kurt Lewin model was employed over two cycles with 27 fourth-grade students. Data collection utilized observation sheets, achievement tests, interviews, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using percentage formulas for individual and classical mastery, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. The implementation of PBL produced substantial improvements across all measured dimensions. Classical mastery increased dramatically from 37.04% (pre-action) to 44.44% (Cycle I) and 92.59% (Cycle II), exceeding the 80% success criterion. Teacher performance improved from 77.41% to 94.35%, while student engagement increased from 72.32% to 88.39% across cycles. Classical absorption rate rose from 53.52% to 78.70%. Problem-Based Learning effectively enhances both learning processes and outcomes in IPAS for elementary students. The iterative refinement through action research cycles proved essential for maximizing PBL's effectiveness in integrated curriculum contexts.

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study investigated the influence of Canva-based animated video media on fifth-grade students' IPAS (Integrated Science and Social Studies) learning outcomes at SDN 2 Dolo. Employing a nonequivalent control group design, the research involved 60 students divided into experimental (n=34) and control (n=26) groups. The experimental group received instruction using Canva-based animated videos integrating visual animations, text, and audio narration, while the control group experienced conventional teacher-centered methods. Data were collected through validated multiple-choice tests (15 items, reliability α=0.788) administered as pretests and posttests. Descriptive statistics and independent samples t-test were employed for data analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Results revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores (M=84.41, SD=8.941) compared to the control group (M=78.08, SD=9.389), with statistical significance confirmed (t=2.661, p=0.010<0.05). These findings demonstrate that Canva-based animated video media significantly enhances IPAS learning outcomes by promoting student engagement, attention, and conceptual understanding. The study contributes empirical evidence supporting multimedia learning theory in integrated curriculum contexts and validates accessible digital tools' effectiveness in resource-constrained educational settings. Future research should examine long-term retention effects and optimal animation design features across diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

Multiplication instruction in elementary schools often relies on abstract presentations without adequate concrete support, resulting in low student achievement. This study investigated the effect of magic glass learning media on fourth-grade students' multiplication learning outcomes at SD Inpres 1 Tondo. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed with 26 fourth-grade students selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item multiple-choice test with established content validity (CVI > 0.78) and reliability (α = 0.82). Students completed a pretest, participated in four instructional sessions using magic glass media representing multiplication as repeated addition through cups and counting sticks, then completed a posttest. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics and paired-samples t-test (α = 0.05) following Shapiro-Wilk normality testing. Mean scores increased significantly from 35.40 (SD = 15.19) to 75.78 (SD = 18.65), representing a 114% improvement. The paired-samples t-test revealed statistically significant differences (t = -11.251, df = 25, p < 0.001). Low-performing students demonstrated particularly dramatic gains, while engagement remained consistently high throughout treatment sessions. Findings confirm that magic glass media effectively enhances multiplication learning by aligning with students' concrete operational developmental stage, consistent with Piagetian and Brunerian theories. The media facilitates meaningful conceptual understanding through hands-on manipulation, particularly benefiting struggling learners. Magic glass learning media represents an accessible, evidence-based intervention for improving elementary mathematics instruction.
