Abstract

Writing is important in the character education of elementary school students. The character education of conservation consists of 11 values, namely religious, honest, intelligent, fair, responsible, caring, tolerant, democratic, polite, tough, and loving the country. The love of the country is meant to love the culture and natural environment around us. Therefore the environment is closely related to conservation education. The observations indicate that in the writing of fourth grade elementary school students the character values of conservation have not showed. This attracts researchers to study more about the implementation of conservation contained of writing learning. The purpose of this study was to find the implementation of writing learning with conservation contents in the character education of fourth grade elementary school students. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. This research was carried out at SD Muhammadiyah (SD M) and SDIT Logaritma (SD L) in Karanganyar, Kebumen.The data collection techniques used was in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study showed that the implementation of learning writing with conservation content is focused on the activities of initiating the learning, activities of managing the learning, and activities of closing the learning activities. In the activity of initiating the learning, all of the fourth grade teachers of Islamic Elementary School in Karanganyar have conditioned students, performed apperception, conveyed goals, provided motivation, and informed the learning activities to be carried out. In the learning management activities, the fourth grade teacher of Islamic Elementary School in Karanganyar did not fully teach in accordance with the Learning Implementation Plan. At the end of the learning activities include concluding the learning that has been done, checking the understanding of students, giving questions about evaluating or giving assignments, and closing the learning with prayer. The conservation character that emerges in the activity of initiating the learning was religious. The activity of managing learning raises honest, intelligent, responsible, tolerant, democratic and polite characters. The activity of closing the learning raises honest, responsible and religious characters.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are important to practice early on in elementary school. It is believed that STEM based education could trigger the students to more critical. Individuals who have critical thinking skills will be able to communicate well. Many research results show that critical thinking skills can be stimulated by applying project-based learning in class. This research aims to describe critical thinking skills based on communication skills by using STEM-based Project-Based Learning. The research is a mixed-methods study. The population of this research consisted of fifth graders of Public Primary School 3 Pakis. The research instruments used were critical thinking skills tests, communication skills questionnaires and interview guidelines. The quantitative data was selected by purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data was based on the communication skills levels: high, moderate, and low. Based on the triangulation data it shows that students with high critical thinking skills reached the aspect of analyzing arguments; the moderate level could achieved simple aspects of explanation; while the lower level critical thinker only reaches the aspect of focusing questions. The STEM approach applied in project-based learning is able to encourage students to be able to communicate verbally and improve their critical thinking skills in solving problems.

Abstract

The learning process of Social Science (IPS) in Elementary School has not been yet optimum because teachers lacked knowledge about the contextual approach, had limited learning resources, namely teaching materials as well as the inability to develop teaching materials. Therefore, this study attempted to produce Central Java local wisdom-based contextual Social Science teaching materials with the theme of “Indahnya Kebersamaan” (The Beauty of Togetherness) for the fourth grade level of Elementary School (SD). This study employed Research and Development (R & D) method with the trial design of pre-test and post-test control group. Meanwhile, the data analysis technique used to examine the effectiveness of the teaching materials was N-Gain test by comparing pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental class and the control class. Further, the results of this study showed that: (1) there was a need on the development of Social Science teaching materials which could be used as learning resources to improve the Social Science learning quality in Elementary School. Additionally, the developed teaching materials were declared valid by having the average score of 84.38 with very valid criterion and very well applicable, (2) the characteristics of the developed teaching materials contained 7 components of the contextual approach which utilized Central Java local wisdom, and (3) the effectiveness test of the teaching materials showed that the experimental class achieved higher cognitive learning outcome with the N-Gain value of 0.46 than the control class of 0.19. In conclusion, the developed teaching materials can be used by teachers and students as learning resources in the learning process of Social Science to improve its quality.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the need for teachers to conduct assessment or assessment practices that are in line with the demands of the curriculum. The research aims to: (1) develop an assessment of the learning process in mathematics class V SDN; (2) improve the quality of assessment instruments for the mathematics learning process in the fifth grade of Karanganyar District Elementary School drawing space based on the 2013 curriculum. This type of research is R & D with the observation method. The results of the preliminary research in the form of observations of instruments that will be developed show that the instrument is in the medium category of 22 items and is in the bad category of 4 items. Subsequently given material enrichment which finally can improve the quality of the instrument into 19 medium categories and 7 good category questions. This R & D research uses instrument trials ranging from observation, instrument development to implementation. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, carried out in SD Negeri Karangnyar Regency class V with the subject of Drawing Geometry. Results of the research: at the initial stage (observation) there were 4 instruments in the bad category and 22 in the medium category. The revision is done by providing material reinforcement on items 17 and 19, which is about drawing perspective lines on pyramid and prisms. The development phase (test of improvement) experienced the medium category of 19 instruments and good categories into 7 instruments. The implementation phase of the instrument in the medium category 3 instruments is in the category of 23 instruments. So that it can be concluded that "the development of an assessment instrument for the process of learning mathematics drawing up the space in the Karanganyar District Elementary School level" is worthy of use because it has increased students can concretize a picture of a rib that does not appear to be a perspective image and from the stages that must be passed in the instrument development procedure.
