Abstract

This study examines differences in students' understanding of basic social studies concepts in the Islamic Elementary Teacher Education Program (PGMI) according to learning motivation and learning styles. A 2×3 factorial quantitative design was employed, and data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis nonparametric test followed by post hoc analysis. The results show that learning motivation does not significantly affect students’ understanding of social studies concepts (p = 0.921 > 0.05). In contrast, learning style has a significant effect (p = 0.037 < 0.05). Further post hoc analysis with a Bonferroni correction reveals a significant difference between the auditory (A2) and kinesthetic (A3) learning styles (p = 0.039 < 0.05). Descriptive findings indicate that students with a kinesthetic learning style achieved higher average scores (95.86) compared to those with an auditory style (89.92). This suggests that kinesthetic learners demonstrate better conceptual understanding. Overall, the findings confirm that motivation level does not differentiate students’ conceptual understanding, while learning styles—particularly kinesthetic—play a significant role. The study highlights the importance of considering diverse learning styles in instructional design to improve students’ conceptual mastery in social studies.

Abstract

Students' understanding of elementary school social studies courses can be influenced by various internal and external factors, namely learning motivation and activity in the lecture process. This study aims to analyze the relationship between learning motivation and student activity with the understanding of basic elementary school social studies concepts in elementary school teacher education students. The approach in this study is a quantitative survey design with a cross-sectional design. There were 82 respondents, consisting of study groups E and F. The instruments used were questionnaires on learning motivation, activity, and understanding of elementary school social studies concepts. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics with JASP and Spearman's correlation test because the data were not normally distributed. The results of this study indicate a positive relationship between student activity and understanding of basic social studies concepts (p = 0.808; p < 0.001). Learning motivation has a significant positive relationship in the moderate category (p = 0.396; p < 0.001). In addition, there was a strong relationship between learning motivation and activity (p = 0.637; p < 0.001). These findings indicate that motivation and activity are important factors in building students' understanding of basic social studies concepts. The interrelationship between these two aspects is expected to support the effectiveness of the learning process in elementary school social studies basic concepts courses.
