Abstract

The character crisis of elementary school students since online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic requires Islamic education teachers to improve the quality of learning models that can boost character achievements. This research aims to determine the factors that influence the development of the IREC model and the quality of the IREC model. IREC is the subject matter of Islamic Religious Education and Character. This development research uses the Research and Development model with the stages of definition, design, development, and dissemination. Data collection techniques include interviews, questionnaires, and documentation as well as Focus Group Discussions. Qualitative descriptive data analysis techniques are carried out by analyzing, describing, and summarizing events from data obtained through the interview process, documentation, and observation. The research results show that the success of implementing the IREC model is influenced by supporting factors, namely competent Islamic education teachers, active participation of students, and material moral support from the Principal, Teachers, and parents. The inhibiting factor is the lazy attitude of students. The reliable practice-based IREC model has met the quality of feasibility based on assessments by material and media experts and has been feasible in wide-scale testing. The implementation of the reliable practice-based IREC model can increase the achievements of religious character, responsibility, honesty, discipline, tolerance, and independence.

Abstract

The Curriculum 2013 for elementary schools is designed around integrated thematic learning, One such approach is the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) model. This study investigates the impact of the POE learning model on the learning outcomes at a private elementary school. Employing a quantitative experimental method with a Quasi-Experimental Design, the research targets fifth-grade students as the population. The independent variable is the learning model, while the dependent variable is the student's learning outcomes in integrated thematic learning. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation. The findings reveal a significant positive effect of the POE learning model on student learning outcomes. This is demonstrated by an increase in the average post-test scores compared to pre-test scores by 10.05, verified using the Wilcoxon test. Additionally, the Mann-Whitney U test analysis shows a significance value of 0.002, which is less than the alpha value of 0.05. This indicates a significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental and control groups, confirming the effectiveness of the POE learning model in enhancing student learning in integrated thematic contexts.

Abstract

Test instruments are crucial assessment aspects for students, utilized to gauge their knowledge abilities during the learning process. Educators or teachers must scrutinize and analyze the tests beforehand to ensure that the questions predominantly assess higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Learning processes predominantly focusing on lower-order thinking abilities may result in students struggling with questions that require higher-order thinking skills. This study aims to determine the percentage of knowledge dimension aspects, cognitive process dimension, and HOTS content in three supporting books for Science Learning Material in Fourth Grade. It adopts a quantitative descriptive research approach, analyzing a population of 400 multiple-choice questions from three supporting books, with a sample size of 400 questions. Data collection techniques involve observation and documentation methods, utilizing document analysis guideline sheets as instruments. Findings reveal that the percentage of knowledge dimension results across the three supporting books indicate: factual dimension (23.2%, 34%, and 42%), conceptual dimension (54.8%, 47%, and 40%), procedural dimension (19.6%, 16%, and 16%), and metacognitive dimension (2.4%, 3%, and 2%). Regarding cognitive process dimension and HOTS content (C4 to C6), the supporting books yield: remembering level (C1) ranging from 27.2% to 40%, understanding level (C2) ranging from 32.4% to 40%, applying level (C3) ranging from 8% to 12.8%, analyzing level (C4) ranging from 8% to 22%, evaluating level (C5) ranging from 3% to 7.2%, and creating level (C6) ranging from 0% to 1.6%. According to these findings, the three supporting books for Fourth Grade Elementary School Science Learning Material do not adequately meet the criteria for fostering higher-order thinking skills.
