Abstract

Due to the sore concern of young generation’s insight about Indonesian cultures, thereby it is crucial to introduce them since the early ages. Common ways of introducing Indonesian cultures were by means of pictures, which made the children easily lost their interest. This research was aimed to design interactive multimedia learning in introducing Indonesian cultures especially for early children and also to learn about the effectiveness of interactive multimedia implementation during the classroom learning process. The research is a Research and Development research. Data collection methods were: observation, interview, documentation, and student worksheet test. Data analysis was included: designing interactive multimedia of Adobe Flash CS4, and descriptive analysis of percentage and effectiveness test. The research results show that: the design of learning multimedia for Indonesian culture theme in form of interactive game, the implementation of interactive multimedia that resulted in increasing effective class learning process, presented by the scoring result of pre-test in average of 2.07 to 2.73 for the post-test with mastery of learning result amounted to 80%. Interactive multimedia employed in learning process has given a new variation for the students, in which it was easier for them to memorize the content of the learning subject when they were shown with certain interesting pictures and sounds. Multimedia was able to help the development of interactive responses during the learning process. This result highly expects could be useful in developing and enhancing the scientific knowledge in the area of early childhood education aided by interactive multimedia.

Abstract

The purposes of this study are to improve students problem-solving abilities and self-confidence in the problem-based learning model and to describe the ability of students to solve mathematical problems through a problem-based learning model regarding students' confidence. This research is a mixed methods research, with an embedded experimental model. Data collection techniques used tests of problem-solving skills, confidence questionnaires, interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques using N-Gain, Correlation Pearson and Triangulation of qualitative data. The subject of research amounted to 67 students. The results showed that there was an increase in mathematical problem-solving abilities and students' self-confidence significantly. Students' confidence have N-Gain score of 0.40 was included in the medium category, meanwhile, the students' problem-solving abilities with N-Gain scores of 0.36 included in the medium category. Students with high confidence can understand the problem, develop a problem-solving plan, implement a problem-solving plan, and recheck the results of problem-solving well, students with confidence moderate can understand the problem, develop a plan good problem solving, but less able to recheck the results of problem-solving, students with low self-confidence can understand problems, develop plans for problem-solving well, but are less able to implement problem-solving plans and are unable to recheck results of problem-solving.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was; to analyze the achievement of social skills of students who experienced in learning using the concept mapping. This study is expected to improve teacher performance in learning by looking at the appropriate approach to learning social studies (IPS). This type of research used is a quantitative research method in the form of quasi-experimental design with pre-test – post-test control group design. The population of this study was all grade IV elementary school students in Pattimura Cluster, Genuk Sub-District, Semarang City. The sample was selected through a purposive sampling technique, so that selected SDN Karangroto 03 class IVA as the experimental group and class IV B as the control group. Data collection techniques use non-test techniques which include interview guidelines, observation guidelines, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that; the method of concept mapping effectively increases the social skills of students in social studies learning in the fourth grade of elementary school, with the achievement of 2 indicators namely; (1) the improvement of students' social skills is in the minimum medium category based on the N-Gain test in the experimental class. The results of the N-Gain test in the experimental class are 0.32 which are classified into the medium category; and (2) the average score for concept mapping is in the minimum, medium category. The results of the average making of the concept mapping by students are 78% in the high category.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of the use of school libraries and learning strategies towards students’ achievement with learning motivation as an intervening. This Research Method was a quantitative correlation implemented towards V graders students of Public Primary School in Gunungpati District Semarang City through questionnaire, documentation, and observation. The use of school libraries and learning strategies as an independent variable, students’ achievement as a dependent variable and learning motivation as an intervening variable, were analyzed using path analysis by using t test and Sobel test. The results of the study show that the utilization of the library is relatively sufficient, so that students’ achievement becomes less optimal (p = 0.032 < 0.05). Teachers' learning strategies are sufficient and have a direct effect on less optimal learning achievement (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Learning motivation has an effect as an intervening effect of the utilization of a library towards learning achievements (p = 0.031 < 0.05). The conclusion of this study is the utilization of library and learning strategies have an effect towards learning achievement with learning motivation as an intervening variable towards V graders students of Public Primary School in Gunungpati District.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to distinguish the analyze the difference 21st-century skills of student between the PjBL and the Problem Posing learning models. This research is a quasi-experimental study. Determination of subjects was performed purposively on fourth-grade students of Randuagung Elementary School as the 1st experimental class, amounting to 35 students, and Sukorejo Elementary School as the 2nd experimental group, amounting to 32 students. Data collection was performed by observing communication and collaboration skills during the learning and providing tests of critical thinking and creativity skills after implementing the models. Data analysis used MANOVA. The results showed that there were significant differences in 21st-century skills between students implemented using the PjBL and the Problem Posing models. The optimal PjBL model implementation is creativity, communication, and collaboration skills, due to the results of the multivariate test are different and have a higher average if compared with the implementation of the Problem Posing model. Whereas the implementation of the Problem Posing model has not been optimal for all skills. Critical thinking skills achieved by a student in both model implementation have no significant difference. The differences in the average of the 21st-century skills gained by the student in the two models do not differ greatly. However, the intensity result is that from four skills on the Problem Posing model, critical thinking skills is improve significantly.
