Abstract

This study aims to analyze the need for augmented reality-based flashcard media for teaching the human respiratory system in fifth-grade elementary school students. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach supported by simple quantitative data obtained from a needs analysis questionnaire. The research was conducted at UPT SDN Kingking 2 Tuban, involving a fifth-grade teacher and nine fifth-grade students. Data were collected through observation, teacher interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and technique triangulation. The findings showed that the learning process was still dominated by textbooks, student worksheets, teacher explanations, and simple instructional videos. Students experienced difficulties in identifying respiratory organs, understanding their functions, and relating the structure and function of the organs. The average daily test score was 66.2, with only three of nine students achieving the minimum learning criteria. The questionnaire results indicated that 88.89% of students needed more engaging and interactive learning media. Furthermore, 88.89% of students expressed interest in learning media featuring three-dimensional images and augmented reality. These findings indicate a strong need for visual, interactive, and concrete learning media to support students' understanding of the abstract concepts of the human respiratory system. Therefore, augmented reality-based flashcards are considered a relevant and potential learning medium to be developed for IPAS learning in fifth-grade elementary schools.

Abstract

Reading comprehension difficulties in elementary schools remain a fundamental issue, particularly regarding the intrinsic components of narrative texts. This study aimed to deeply analyze and map the types and levels of difficulties faced by third-grade students at UPT SDN Banjar in understanding intrinsic story elements, as well as to identify their underlying causes. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design, data were gathered from seven purposively selected participants using an initial ability test, observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The data analysis strictly focused on an interactive qualitative model (data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing), utilizing quantitative scores and percentages solely as supporting data to reinforce the depth of the qualitative interpretation. The findings highlight that the primary form of reading comprehension difficulty experienced by students is cognitive paralysis at the inferential reading level, characterized by severe barriers in processing, connecting, and interpreting implicit information within the story, despite being highly fluent in mechanical oral reading. As a manifestation of this form of difficulty, the plot (sequencing chronological cause-and-effect events) and moral values (extracting hidden messages) became the most difficult intrinsic elements for students to comprehend. These difficulties were driven by internal factors, including a weak holistic understanding of story structures and limited concentration on long texts, alongside instructional factors, which included teacher-centered instruction, minimal classroom interaction, and a limited variety of learning media. Therefore, interactive and contextual learning innovations are required to boost students' reading comprehension literacy.

Abstract

Critical thinking ability is one of the 21st-century skills that need to be developed in elementary school students, especially in science learning. However, students' critical thinking skills are still considered low. One of the factors suspected to influence this is self-efficacy. This study aims to determine the level of self-efficacy, the level of critical thinking ability, and the relationship between self-efficacy and critical thinking ability of fifth-grade students in science subjects at MIM Al Akbar Pandeyan Ngemplak Boyolali in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational research type. The research population consisted of 81 fifth-grade students with a sample of 68 students selected using proportionate stratified random sampling techniques. Data were collected through a self-efficacy questionnaire and an essay test of critical thinking skills that met valid and reliable criteria. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis and product-moment correlation through IBM SPSS version 25. The results of the study show that the students' levels of self-efficacy and critical thinking skills are in the moderate category, with percentages of 73.52% and 63.23%, respectively. There is a positive relationship between self-efficacy and critical thinking skills (sig. = 0.001 < 0.05; r = 0.388) with a low-level relationship category.

Abstract

The low learning outcomes of grade IV students at SD Negeri Gedongombo 1 on the solar system topic are presumed to be related to the limited availability of concrete and interactive learning media. This condition underscores the need for innovative instructional materials capable of bridging the gap between abstract astronomical concepts and the cognitive capacity of grade IV students, who remain at the concrete-operational stage. This study aims to examine the validity of three-dimensional pop-up book media on the solar system topic as an IPAS (natural and social science) learning medium for grade IV. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method at the product-validation stage, using descriptive quantitative analysis based on assessments from three independent validators (a language expert, a content expert, and a media expert) using a 1-5 Likert-scale instrument. The language expert validation yielded 100% (Very Valid), the content expert 94% (Very Valid), and the media expert 96% (Very Valid), with an overall average of 96.7%. All three validators confirmed the media is feasible for use without substantial revision. Because this study is limited to the expert-validation stage, claims regarding actual improvement of student learning outcomes require further testing through practicality and effectiveness trials involving students.

Abstract

The background of this study is the low level of mastery of letters particularly syllables beginning with L among students in Year 1 at SDN Sidorejo 1 Tuban. Two main objectives were formulated: to describe the implementation of animal-themed flash cards and to examine their impact on students' ability to recognise letters. A Classroom Action Research (PTK) design with Kemmis and McTaggart's model was implemented, covering the planning, execution, observation, and reflection stages. The participants consisted of 20 first grade students (12 boys and 8 girls). Data was collected through written tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. The results showed a significant increase: the class average in Cycle I was 72.5 with a class completion rate of 40%, and in Cycle II it increased to 82.25 with a class completion rate of 95%. These results demonstrate that flash cards with animal themes are effective in creating an active, enjoyable and meaningful learning environment in lower-level classes.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the importance of creative thinking skills as one of the essential competencies in the 21st century that should be developed through higher education learning processes. One learning model that has the potential to facilitate the development of creative thinking skills is Project-Based Learning (PjBL). This study aimed to analyze the creative thinking skills of students in the Elementary School Teacher Education Program (Pendidikan Guru Sekolah Dasar / PGSD) in the Learning Innovation course through the implementation of the PjBL model. The study employed a quantitative descriptive method supported by qualitative data. The participants consisted of 30 fifth-semester PGSD students at Muhammadiyah University of Kendal Batang selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews. Data analysis was conducted descriptively to describe students' creative thinking skills based on the indicators of fluency, flexibility, and originality. The findings revealed that students' creative thinking skills improved across all indicators after the implementation of PjBL. The percentage of fluency skills increased from 65.63% to 82.50%, flexibility from 61.56% to 78.44%, and originality from 61.67% to 82.08%. The highest improvement was found in the originality indicator, with an increase of 20.41%. Observation and interview results indicated that project-based learning provided students with opportunities to engage in discussions, exchange ideas, receive feedback, and reflect on and revise the projects they developed. These findings suggest that the implementation of PjBL is associated with a tendency to improve students' creative thinking skills during the learning process.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low student learning outcomes regarding the topics of Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) and Least Common Multiple (LCM), a result of the limited use of engaging and interactive learning media. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Tapak Gunung learning media based on the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in teaching GCD and LCM to fourth grade elementary school students. This research is part of a broader Research and Development (R&D) project for the Tapak Gunung learning media. This article focuses on the media effectiveness testing phase, employing a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 32 fourth-grade students from SDN 1 Nglaban, selected using a total sampling technique. The effectiveness test was conducted in two stages: a limited trial involving 9 students and an extensive trial involving 23 students. Data were analyzed using classical learning mastery, N-Gain scores, normality tests, and paired-sample t-tests. The research instrument was a learning achievement test validated by subject matter and instructional experts. The results showed that classical learning mastery reached 88.8% in the limited trial and rose to 100% in the extensive trial. The average pretest score of 65.78 increased to 92.21 in the posttest, with an N-Gain score of 0.77, falling into the high category. The paired-sample t-test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. Thus, the PBL-based Tapak Gunung learning media proved effective in improving the learning outcomes of fourth-grade elementary school students regarding GCD and LCM. This medium can serve as an alternative for elementary school teachers to create mathematics instruction that is more active, engaging, and meaningful.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum promotes contextual learning through the use of local culture as part of the learning process. However, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum that integrates Banjar culture to enhance elementary students' environmental awareness still requires further investigation. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Banjar culture-based Merdeka Curriculum in enhancing the environmental awareness of fourth-grade students at SDN Murung Raya 5. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a purposively selected classroom teacher and documentation of the interview process. The findings show that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum was supported by the development of flexible teaching modules, the use of digital media such as Smart TVs and projectors, and diverse learning strategies to accommodate the needs of students with special educational needs. The integration of Banjar local wisdom was implemented through local language learning, the creation of traditional rhymes and poetry, and local food programs. Meanwhile, students' environmental awareness was developed through practical habituation programs, including Clean Saturday, Healthy Saturday, and waste-sorting habits. The findings imply that the use of local culture in learning can serve as a relevant strategy to support the strengthening of character education and environmental education in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of character-based digital comic media on students' learning outcomes in Pancasila Education, particularly on the topic of the values of the first principle of Pancasila, among fifth-grade students at SDN Buncitan. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 50 fifth-grade students, divided into an experimental group (n = 25) and a control group (n = 25). Data were collected using a validated multiple-choice learning achievement test. Data analysis was conducted using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene's test for homogeneity, and the paired-samples t-test at a significance level of 5%. The results indicated that the mean score of the experimental group increased from 71.40 in the pretest to 86.60 in the posttest, while the control group increased from 67.20 to 71.20. The paired-samples t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < .05), indicating a statistically significant improvement in learning outcomes in both groups after the learning process. However, the experimental group demonstrated a greater improvement than the control group. These findings suggest that character-based digital comic media has the potential to support the improvement of elementary school students' learning outcomes in Pancasila Education.
