Abstract

The purpose of this experimental study is to: 1. Ascertain how varied instruction affects students' learning results at the IPAS in primary schools. 2. To find out an overview of the results of stage C IPAS in elementary schools. 3. To determine whether or not there is an influence of differentiated learning on IPAS outcomes at stage C in elementary schools. The independent variable in this research is learning differentiation, while the dependent variable is students' IPAS outcomes. The population in this study was class V UPT SD Negeri 12 Bontoramba students, Bontoramba District, Jeneponto Regency, consisting of 45 students, class V A as the experimental class and class VA B as the control class. Sample determination was carried out using a saturated sampling technique. Based on the results of descriptive statistical analysis, it is known that the science learning outcomes of experimental and control class students have increased, but the experimental class shows a more significant increase. This is based on the average of the experimental class in the pretest being in the low category and then in the posttest being in the high category. The results of inferential statistical analysis show that Equal variance is not assumed, the Sig (2-tailed) value is smaller than the α value, meaning that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. This shows that there is a significant influence between the application of the differentiation learning model IPAS outcomes at the initial stage C in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of Pop-Up Digital Book media on fourth-grade students’ vocabulary comprehension in English learning at SDN Kalukuang 2 Makassar. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The participants consisted of 40 students divided into an experimental group (n = 20) and a control group (n = 20). Data were collected through classroom observations, vocabulary comprehension tests, and documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an Independent Samples t-test. The findings revealed that the implementation of Pop-Up Digital Book media was carried out effectively, as indicated by an increase in observation scores from 70% to 90% during the treatment sessions. Students in the experimental group demonstrated substantially higher vocabulary comprehension scores than those in the control group. The mean score increased from 49.50 in the pretest to 74.00 in the posttest, whereas the control group showed only a slight improvement. Hypothesis testing indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05), confirming that the use of Pop-Up Digital Book media had a significant positive effect on students’ vocabulary comprehension. These findings suggest that interactive digital learning media can enhance vocabulary acquisition, increase student engagement, and support more effective English language learning at the elementary school level.

Abstract

Listening skills are essential for elementary school students because they support the acquisition of information and the development of other language skills. However, preliminary observations at SD Kemala Bhayangkari Makassar indicated that students experienced difficulties in listening comprehension due to limited learning media and insufficient variation in instructional strategies. This study aimed to improve the listening skills of fourth-grade students through the use of podcast media. The research employed Classroom Action Research consisting of two cycles, each including planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were 19 fourth-grade students and one classroom teacher. Data were collected through observation, listening achievement tests, and documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative techniques by calculating activity percentages and learning mastery levels. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ listening skills. Learning mastery increased from 68.42% in Cycle I to 84.21% in Cycle II. Teacher and student learning activities also improved from the fair category to the good category. These findings indicate that podcasts can serve as effective audio-based learning media for enhancing students’ listening skills. Future studies may explore the integration of podcasts with other digital learning platforms.

Abstract

This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach aimed at developing and evaluating the feasibility of a multimodal-based Quiet Book as a learning medium for numeracy instruction on money recognition for third-grade elementary school students. The study was motivated by the fact that numeracy learning is still predominantly conducted using conventional methods, with limited use of concrete learning media, and has not optimally enhanced students’ interest and active engagement in learning. The development model used in this study was ADDIE, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The analysis stage focused on identifying learning needs, student characteristics, and instructional materials. The design stage involved planning the Quiet Book media by integrating visual, kinesthetic, and digital elements through the use of QR codes. The development stage consisted of producing the media and conducting validations by media experts and subject-matter experts. The implementation stage was carried out through small-group and large-group trials, while the evaluation stage was conducted formatively based on the results of expert validation and field trials. The results of the study indicated that the multimodal-based Quiet Book was classified as highly feasible, with validation scores of 90% from media experts and 94% from material experts. In addition, student responses reached 97% and teacher responses reached 90%, both categorized as highly feasible. Therefore, the multimodal-based Quiet Book is considered valid, practical, and suitable for use as a numeracy learning medium on money recognition in elementary schools.
