Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of integrating concrete media and PhET simulation in fraction learning using a realistic mathematics approach in elementary schools. This study responded to students' difficulties in understanding abstract mathematical concepts, especially in adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator. The method used was a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design, involving 60 fourth-grade students divided into experimental and control groups. Pretest and posttest were given to both groups. Data were analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests. The results showed a statistically significant increase in the learning outcomes of the experimental group. After the intervention, the experimental group achieved an average posttest score of 77.47 while the control group scored 40.30. The average difference between the two groups was 37.17 points, with a t value of 15.690 and a p value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). These findings confirm that the integration of concrete and digital media in fraction learning through a realistic mathematics approach significantly improves students' learning outcomes. This multimodal learning strategy effectively addresses common difficulties in fraction learning and offers a promising model for enhancing mathematics instruction at the elementary level.

Abstract

Technology based instructional media, such as PowerPoint, serve as an alternative that teachers can use to present material in a more engaging, interactive, and easily understandable way for students. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of utilizing technology through PowerPoint media in supporting the teaching of Akidah Akhlak. The research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach, using data collection techniques that include observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman technique, which involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the implementation of PowerPoint in Akidah Akhlak learning has led to positive changes in how teachers deliver the material. Previously, the dominant methods were lectures and writing notes on the board; however, with PowerPoint, the material is organized more systematically with key points, images, Quranic verses, and tables. Despite challenges such as limited projector availability, laptop compatibility issues, and classroom lighting, the enthusiasm of both teachers and students remains high. This study demonstrates that the use of PowerPoint media in Akidah Akhlak learning not only helps teachers convey the material more effectively but also enhances students’ comprehension, learning interest, and active participation during the lessons.

Abstract

This research investigates the teacher’s role in music education for fifth-grade students at SD Islam Alhidayah Besusu. Recognizing that music learning at the elementary level is essential for developing students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, the study focuses on how teachers act as facilitators, classroom managers, motivators, supervisors, and demonstrators. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation involving a classroom teacher and students. Findings reveal that while the teacher has performed well as a demonstrator and class manager, several challenges persist, including limited musical instruments and the teacher’s lack of formal training in music education. Observations and student questionnaires indicate that students generally perceive the teacher’s efforts positively, especially in creating a conducive learning atmosphere and providing clear demonstrations. Statistical results from the questionnaires show that 62.5% of students state the teacher always gives clear examples before practice, and 50% feel inspired by musical works shown in class. In conclusion, despite facing resource constraints, the teacher’s proactive role significantly supports the effectiveness of music learning. It is recommended that schools provide more comprehensive training and facilities to empower teachers in delivering high-quality music education in primary schools.
