Abstract

Students' critical thinking skills are influenced by teachers' limited competence in implementing problem-solving-oriented learning. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) student worksheets (Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik - LKPD) in improving critical thinking skills in fourth-grade science subjects (Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial - IPAS) at the elementary school level. The development model used in this study follows the ADDIE framework (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research employs a one-group pretest-posttest design, with 15 fourth-grade students as the study participants. Data collection methods include questionnaires and multiple-choice tests. The research instruments were developed based on a structured blueprint to ensure alignment with research guidelines. Content validity was assessed using Gregory’s formula with expert judgment, while item validity was tested using the product-moment correlation method. Reliability testing was conducted using the Cronbach’s Alpha method, as the data consisted of polytomous scores ranging from 0 to 4. Data analysis was carried out using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, including descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The effectiveness test was conducted using a paired sample t-test in SPSS. The results indicated that the Sig. (2-tailed) value was 0.000 < 0.05, leading to the conclusion that the PBL-based student worksheets are significantly effective in enhancing the critical thinking skills of fourth-grade elementary school students.

Abstract

Children with special needs often face difficulties in reading, including frequent errors in word pronunciation, particularly in the Balinese language. This study aims to analyze the phonological errors in reading and understanding Balinese among children with intellectual disabilities. The subjects of this study consist of two classes, with a total of 15 students. The data collection methods and instruments used include observation sheets, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique employed is qualitative descriptive analysis, while data validity is ensured through triangulation, which consists of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings of this study indicate the presence of phonological errors, such as mispronunciations involving phoneme omission and phoneme addition in Balinese language sounds. It can be concluded that the factors contributing to these phonological errors include low cognitive ability, students' tendency to become easily bored or struggle with learning comprehension, and the influence of their first language or surrounding environment. The implications of this study are expected to serve as a reference for teachers in inclusive schools to improve Balinese language instruction for students with special needs.

Abstract

The low critical thinking ability of elementary school students in the subject of IPAS (Integrated Science and Social Studies) is attributed to teaching methods that primarily emphasize rote memorization without incorporating problem-solving activities, particularly those related to real-life environmental issues. This study aims to develop interactive learning multimedia based on the problem-based learning (PBL) model with a focus on Balinese local wisdom to enhance the critical thinking skills of fifth-grade elementary school students in the topic Indonesiaku Kaya Alamnya (My Indonesia, Rich in Natural Resources). The research follows the ADDIE model. Data collection methods employed in this study include tests and questionnaires. The findings of the media validation test indicate a feasibility index of 4.73 for media quality and 4.6 for content quality, both of which fall into the "very good" category. Additionally, the analysis conducted by expert practitioners revealed that the practicality scores obtained were 94% for teachers and 94.4% for students, categorizing the multimedia as highly practical. The effectiveness test results showed a significance level of < 0.01, indicating a significant difference in students' critical thinking abilities before and after using the multimedia. Thus, it can be concluded that the interactive learning multimedia based on the PBL model, incorporating Balinese local wisdom, is both feasible for classroom use and effective in helping students connect conceptual material with real-world situations in their environment.
