Abstract

Background: Cognitive learning outcomes in science remain low due to limited student engagement and the dominance of teacher-centered instruction. Specific Background: The human respiratory system is one of the IPA topics where students often struggle to master conceptual understanding. Gap: Previous studies widely examined PBL, but few focused specifically on its role in improving cognitive performance in this topic at the junior high school level. Aim: This study investigates how the PBL model enhances students’ cognitive learning outcomes. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest nonequivalent control group was conducted involving 50 eighth-grade students. Cognitive tests (20 items, C1–C5) were administered, and data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and independent sample t-tests. Results: The experimental class showed a higher improvement (44.4 to 72.6) compared to the control class (39 to 58.2), with a significance value of 0.04. Novelty: This study provides focused evidence of PBL effectiveness on respiratory system material. Implications: PBL can be applied to promote deeper conceptual understanding and student engagement in science learning. Highlights:• PBL strengthens cognitive mastery in science• Significant score improvement compared to conventional learning• Supports active inquiry and problem-solving practices Keywords: Problem Based Learning, Cognitive Outcomes, Science Learning, Respiratory System, Junior High School

Abstract

Background: Learning media play an essential role in improving students’ mathematical understanding, especially in elementary education where difficulties in integer operations are common. Specific Background: Students at SDN Kupang still struggle with integer addition due to limited use of interactive media. Gap: Previous studies highlight the benefits of educational games, yet few develop structured, validated media tailored to integer addition. Aim: This study aims to develop a Ludo-based learning media for integer addition that is valid, practical, and effective. Results: Expert validation showed an average score of 3.46 (very good), student practicality reached 3.3 (very good), and effectiveness achieved an N-Gain of 0.58 (medium), indicating improved learning outcomes. Novelty: This study introduces “Luriung,” a modified Ludo game specifically designed to support integer addition learning. Implications: The media can serve as an alternative tool for mathematics learning, encouraging active engagement and supporting conceptual understanding. Highlights:• Media improves student engagement• Valid and practical learning tool• Supports integer addition mastery Keywords: Ludo, Learning Media, Integer Addition, Elementary Mathematics, ADDIE Model

Abstract

General Background: Education in Indonesia requires learning approaches that foster active student engagement, particularly in early grades. Specific Background: Pancasila Education in grade 1 often faces issues such as low motivation and passive learning due to traditional teacher-centered methods. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies have examined the use of Problem Based Learning (PBL) to strengthen conceptual understanding of Pancasila in early elementary school. Aims: This study aims to improve learning outcomes through the implementation of PBL in grade 1 Pancasila Education. Results: Classroom Action Research involving two cycles showed a significant increase in mastery, from 31.25% in the pre-cycle, to 56.25% in cycle I, and reaching 93.75% in cycle II. Novelty: This study provides early-grade empirical evidence of PBL’s effectiveness for Pancasila concepts using contextual problem exploration. Implications: The findings highlight that well-structured PBL can increase student participation, responsibility, and conceptual understanding in civic-related learning. Highlights:• PBL significantly increased grade 1 Pancasila learning outcomes• Students became more active and disciplined through structured class rules• Two-cycle PTK showed consistent improvement in mastery levels Keywords: Problem Based Learning, Pancasila Education, Learning Outcomes, Early Elementary, Classroom Action Research

Abstract

Background: Learning interest is essential in elementary education, yet many students experience low engagement due to monotonous media and conventional teaching. Specific Background: Flashcards are visual tools that may improve attention, motivation, and learning involvement. Gap: Previous studies mostly focused on cognitive outcomes, while affective aspects such as learning interest remain understudied. Aim: This study investigates whether flashcard media strengthens learning interest among fourth-grade students. Methods: A quantitative experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used involving 20 students. Data on learning interest were collected using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through normality testing and paired sample t-test. Results: The mean score increased from 88.80 (pretest) to 92.10 (posttest), with a significance value of 0.004, indicating a meaningful improvement after using flashcards. Novelty: This research highlights the role of flashcards not only in cognitive enhancement but specifically in supporting students’ affective engagement. Implications: Flashcards can be adopted as an accessible instructional tool to foster interest and increase engagement in elementary classrooms. Highlights:• Increased learning interest after flashcard implementation• Strengthened student engagement and participation• Practical use of visual media in elementary classrooms Keywords: Flashcard Media, Learning Interest, Elementary School, Visual Learning, Student Engagement
