Abstract

Background: Science Process Skills (KPS) are crucial in preparing students to meet the challenges of the 4.0 industrial era, emphasizing critical thinking and scientific reasoning from an early age. However, conventional teaching methods without adequate media assistance often result in passive learning environments. Innovative teaching models supported by appropriate media are essential to enhance students' scientific competencies. Objective: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the Visualization, Auditory, Kinesthetic (VAK) learning model assisted by video media and Prezi software on improving the science process skills of fifth-grade students at MIM PK Kartasura. Method: A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group was used. The sample consisted of 55 fifth-grade students, divided into two experimental groups: one group was treated with Prezi software, and the other with video media. Data were collected through tests validated for content and construct validity and analyzed using prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity) followed by hypothesis testing with paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests. Results: The findings revealed significant improvements in students’ science process skills in both groups after the interventions. However, the video media group showed a higher increase in average scores compared to the Prezi software group. Statistical analysis indicated that video media was more effective than Prezi software in enhancing students' science process skills. Conclusion: The VAK learning model assisted by video media proved to be more effective in developing the science process skills of elementary students compared to the use of Prezi software. The results suggest that integrating video media into science instruction can significantly enhance critical learning competencies, serving as a valuable reference for educators in designing engaging and effective learning environments.

Abstract

Background: This study evaluates the language feasibility of the Grade 1 student textbook on the theme Kegemaranku (My Favorites) from the 2013 Curriculum published by the Ministry of Education and Culture, focusing on its conformity to students' developmental levels, communicative effectiveness, and the coherence of its content structure. Method: A qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis was employed. The data were collected from the Kegemaranku textbook and analyzed through an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, based on the BSNP (National Education Standards Agency) textbook assessment guidelines. Results: The analysis revealed that the textbook achieved high feasibility scores: 94.79% for conformity with student development, 92.70% for communicativeness, and 96.35% for the alignment and integration of thought flow. These results categorize the textbook as "very feasible" across all assessed dimensions, although minor inconsistencies were found in explaining abstract concepts and applying Indonesian language rules in certain sub-themes. Implication: The findings suggest that the textbook can effectively support Grade 1 students’ cognitive, social-emotional, and language development. However, continual monitoring and refinement are recommended to ensure even higher linguistic clarity and developmental alignment, which are critical for achieving curriculum goals. Novelty: This study offers a comprehensive and specific evaluation of language feasibility in early grade textbooks by integrating indicators of communicative clarity and developmental appropriateness based on the 2013 Curriculum. It highlights the need for systematic textbook reviews even for materials officially endorsed by national education authorities.
