Abstract

The low learning outcomes of students in social sciences, especially in the material of cultural traditions in Indonesia, are often caused using learning models that do not encourage students' independence in exploring the material. This study aims to examine the effect of the self-directed learning model on the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at Elementary School 2 Latihan SPG Ambon in the social studies subject of cultural traditions in Indonesia. Method: This study uses a quantitative approach with an experimental method. Data collection techniques include written tests, observation, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out through instrument validity and reliability tests, as well as prerequisite tests that include normality and homogeneity tests. Hypothesis testing is conducted to ascertain the significant impact among variables. The results of the study indicate that the self-directed learning model has a significant effect on improving student learning outcomes. This improvement is evidenced by the rejection of H0 and acceptance of Ha through the acquisition of a significance value of 0.000, which is smaller than the significance level of 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). Descriptive analysis strengthens the finding that the application of this model effectively encourages better academic achievement. This research contributes to teachers' selection of innovative, student-centered learning models to improve the quality of social studies instruction in elementary schools. Furthermore, these results serve as a reference for schools in their efforts to increase the effectiveness of their independent learning-based curriculum.

Abstract

Innovative learning strategies are needed to help elementary school students understand complicated social studies topics like ethnic and religious diversity. This report is based on Nuruwe Christian Elementary School fourth graders' dismal learning outcomes. This study examines whether the controversial issue learning paradigm improves social studies learning in Nuruwe Christian Elementary School fourth graders. Two cycles of Classroom Action Research (CAR) were used. Each cycle includes planning, action, observation, and reflection. The study included 12 Nuruwe Christian Elementary School fourth graders. Testing, observation, and documentation using test and observation sheets acquired data. Data analysis was carried out using individual assessment techniques and calculating the average value of learning outcomes. The results of the study indicate that the application of the controversial issue learning model to the material about ethnic and religious diversity in my country can significantly improve student learning outcomes. This model has been proven to help teachers in presenting more dynamic and effective learning variations in the classroom. This study provides innovative learning strategies that assist teachers in creating meaningful and beneficial learning activities. In addition, this study enriches references regarding the use of controversial issues as educational media to increase student engagement and academic achievement at the elementary school level.
