Abstract

The study aims to identify forms of aggressive behavior which are usually displayed by elementary students and analyze the influence of peer interaction, school discipline and authoritarian parenting on the aggressiveness of elementary school students in 4th and 5th grade at Elementary School 2 Bacin and Elementary School 3 Bacin Kudus. Quantitative research uses experimental research methods and comparative causal approaches. The sample selection uses purposive sampling technique. The sample characteristics used were students of grade IV-V Elementary School 2 Bacin and Elementary School 3 Bacin Kudus, based on screening raised by authoritarian parenting. Data collection uses observation and questionnaire scale. Data analysis using multiple linear regression with the help of SPPSS 21 for Windows. Based on the results of the study, the most common form of aggressiveness is physical aggression in the form of fights between students that trigger violence. The results of the study also showed that there was a significant influence among peer interaction, school discipline and authoritarian parenting on aggressive behavior simultaneously (Fvalue = 3.920 > from Ftable = 2.81). The results of partial hypothesis testing showed that peer interaction and authoritarian parenting had a positive but not significant effect on students' aggressive behavior. School discipline has a negative and significant effect on students' aggressive behavior. Peer interactions, school discipline, and authoritarian parenting explain aggressive behavior by 20.4 %, while 79.6% are influenced by other factors such as ethological, sociological, genetic, situational influences and media violence.

Abstract

The study aims to explain the influence of implementation of SAVI learning models through practicum activities toward 4th-grade students outcomes in science learning. The research methodology used was quasi-experimental with the nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The research results show that the implementation of SAVI learning has a significant influence on improving cognitive, affective, and psychomotor of students. The cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspect of a student of practicum class gained better scores than that of the control class. It was indicated from the treatment by using the SAVI learning model through practicum activities in the experimental class while the control class was treated using the expository model. The affective domain learning outcomes achieved scores of 83.7; the cognitive domain learning outcomes with 76.48 points and psychomotor domain learning outcomes get scores of 84. Based on the results of the research that has been obtained, it can be concluded that the ability of students to conclude the results of the practicum can be improved by using the application of the SAVI learning model.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to; analyze the differences between Gusjigang learning approach and conventional learning on student learning outcomes. The type of research used was a quantitative research method with a nonequivalent control group design. The population consisted of all fourth-grade students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah TBS Kudus Regency. The sample was selected through a purposive sampling technique, so that class IV B was selected with 23 students as the experimental group and class IV C with 23 students as the control group. The data collection technique uses test techniques, namely the pre-test and post-test questions in the form of multiple choices and brief descriptions. The results obtained in the experimental class, namely the class that in the experimental class that experienced learning with the local wisdom model, Gusjigang gained an increase in learning outcomes by 83 in the high category. The N-Gain results in the control class are students who are taught with conventional learning, students who get low n-gain results are 56%, students who get moderate N-gain results are 44%, and none of the students achieves n-gain results high. Whereas in the experimental class, the students who were taught using Gusjigang's local wisdom-based learning, students who got a low n-gain result of 9%, students who got a moderate n-gain of 56%, and students who achieved a high n-gain of 35 %. This shows that the acquisition of student learning outcomes in the experimental class is better than that of the control class.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the interaction between learning models (problem-based learning and inquiry-based learning) and learning styles in improving students learning outcomes (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor). The research method applied in this study was quantitative descriptive by using data analysis techniques of validity test, reliability test, difficulty level test, normality test, homogeneity test, and two-way ANOVA test. The data collection techniques used were tests in the form of descriptive questions, and non-tests in the form of cooperative attitude observation sheets, and student learning style questionnaire sheets. The subjects in this study were 48 students who were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 24 students using the problem-based learning model, and the second group consisted of 24 students using the inquiry-based learning model. The results of the study showed that: There is an interaction between learning models and learning styles in improving the learning outcomes in the cognitive and affective domains. There is no interaction between learning models and learning styles in improving psychomotor domains. The learning model of inquiry-based learning was more effective to be used in the learning than the problem-based learning models in improving student learning outcomes (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor) in the class with heterogeneous student learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic).

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Realistic Mathematics Education model on mathematics problem-solving ability of students and analyze the mathematical problem-solving ability of students based on Polya steps. The method used is the sequential explanatory mixed-method design. The sample in this study is the fourth-grade students of Public Elementary School Bintoro 8 and the fourth-grade students of Public Elementary School Bintoro 9. Quantitative data were analyzed using a t-test and N-gain test based on the value of mathematical problem-solving ability. Qualitative data were analyzed through five procedures: data collection, triangulation, reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results showed that the average difference of mathematical problem-solving ability of students experimental class is better than the control class, improvement of mathematics problem-solving ability of students in the experimental class is higher than the control class. In the high category, students can apply the measures to see, plan, d, and check it well. In the medium category students can apply the measures see, plan, do and check, but there is an error in the operation so that the results of any settlement, while in the low category of students has not concluded.
