Abstract

The advancement of technology in education demands teachers to innovate learning processes, particularly to improve students' psychomotor skills. However, science learning for grade IV students still faces challenges such as limited innovation, minimal use of technology-based media, and unmeasured psychomotor skills. This study investigates the effectiveness of using a contextual Virtual Laboratory (VirLab) practicum module supported by PhET simulation in teaching energy material to fourth-grade students at Banyuripan Elementary School. Employing a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-shot case study approach, this research involved 18 students who were observed during practicum activities focusing on imitation and manipulation stages of psychomotor skills. Data were analyzed using the normalized gain formula to measure skill improvement. Results revealed an average gain value of 0.8056, categorized as "high," confirming that the VirLab practicum module effectively enhances students' psychomotor skills, particularly in imitation and manipulation. This study demonstrates that integrating contextual virtual labs in science education positively influences active learning and skill development at the elementary level.

Abstract

Differentiated learning is student-centered learning and aims to meet students' learning needs. This research aims to determine the implementation, impact, advantages and disadvantages of differentiated learning. This type of research uses descriptive qualitative research. Data collection was carried out by observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. It can be seen from how Differentiated Learning is implemented in the Merdeka Curriculum at the Driving School, Kec. Jetis, Bantul Regency includes SD Negeri 1 Sumberagung, SD Negeri Jetis, and SD Muhammadiyah Blawong 1. The data sources consist of 3 school principals, 3 class II teachers and class II students totaling 73 students and less than 100, so this population can be used as a research sample. The results of the research show that the implementation of differentiated learning in class II at the Jetis District Driving School has been running optimally. However, there is one driving school that has not been optimal, namely SD Muhammadiyah Blawong 1. The implementation of differentiated learning goes through several stages, namely planning, implementation and evaluation. Differentiated learning planning is carried out by school principals, namely educators, managers and learning supervisors. Teachers carry out differentiated learning by applying differentiated learning components. Learning evaluation is carried out using diagnostic formative and summative assessments. The impact on differentiated learning can be seen and measured using a Likert scale with a percentage result 100 % from numbers 1-4 in the Likert scale categories.The advantages and disadvantages are almost the same as the implementation conditions, where there are two schools that are optimal and there is one driving school that is not yet optimal because of supervision so they have to bring in a supervisor. And it can be calculated using a Likert scale from statements made by researchers and has positive results, namely 97%.Keyword: Implementation, Impact, Strengths and Weaknesses of Differentiated Learning, Grade II Elementary School, Independent Curriculum, Driving School
