Abstract

Background: The problem that occurs at SD Negeri 011 Pondok Gelugur is the lack of interest and attention of students in participating in learning, so that students' initial learning results do not reach the predetermined KKM limits.Objective: This research is Classroom Action Research (PTK) which aims to determine whether the application of audio-visual media in learning about food digestive organs in humans can improve learning outcomes for class V students at SD Negeri 011 Pondok Gelugur.Method: Classroom action research conducted in 2 cycles consists of four main research components, namely: planning; implementation; data collection; and reflection. The research subjects were class V (Fifth) students with 4 male and 6 female students for the 2024/2025 academic year. Data analysis was conducted using learning mastery percentage. The success indicator was defined as a minimum of 80% of students achieving the KKM score.Results: In cycle I, the learning outcomes of students were known to be 5 students who achieved a score above the KKM with an average class score of 71.5. Furthermore, in cycle II improvement activities, student learning outcomes increased to 9 students achieving scores above the KKM with an average class score of 76.5.Conclusion: The conclusion is that the use of audio-visual media makes learning more interesting and can increase students' interest and learning outcomes in science subjects, and learning objectives can be achieved well as evidenced by the significant increase in student learning outcomes.

Abstract

Backround: Learning in elementary schools still faces significant challenges in optimally developing students’ critical thinking skills, primarily due to the persistent dominance of conventional learning methods that afford minimal student engagement and limited opportunities for active knowledge construction.Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating unplugged learning in improving the critical thinking skills of sixth-grade elementary school students on the topic of harmony in ecosystems.Method: The study involved 22 students of Class VI B at SDN 192 Pekanbaru and employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data were collected through validated critical thinking ability tests administered before and after the instructional treatment and analyzed using descriptive statistics and N-Gain analysis to measure the magnitude of learning improvement.Result: The results demonstrated a statistically meaningful increase in students’ critical thinking scores: the mean pretest score was 67.27 (SD = 15.48), which increased to 86.36 (SD = 7.26) on the posttest, representing an improvement of 19.09 points. The average N-Gain score was 0.60 (SD = 0.20), which falls within the Moderate category of effectiveness. Furthermore, the substantial reduction in standard deviation indicates that the learning outcomes became more equitably distributed among all 22 students, suggesting that unplugged learning benefited learners across varying ability levels.Implications: These findings confirm that unplugged learning is an effective and equitable instructional strategy for fostering analytical, reflective, and systematic thinking skills.Conclusion: The results have significant implications for curriculum design and pedagogical practice in Indonesian elementary education, suggesting that device-free, activity-based learning can serve as a viable and accessible alternative to conventional teaching methods.

Abstract

Multicultural education has become one of the important educational approaches in building a harmonious society amidst social, cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity. In the context of Indonesia as a pluralistic country, multicultural education is not only understood as a process of transferring knowledge about diversity, but also as an effort to build social awareness, tolerance, and respect for differences. This study aims to examine the concept of multicultural education from an Islamic perspective by emphasizing the values of ta‘aruf, tasamuh, and justice contained in the Qur’an and Hadith. This research uses a library research method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The data were obtained from various literature sources such as scientific journals, books, academic articles, and previous studies related to Islamic multicultural education. The results of the study show that Islam views diversity as sunnatullah that must be accepted with openness and wisdom. Islamic values teach the importance of living peacefully side by side, respecting the rights of others, and building fair social relationships without discrimination. The example of Prophet Muhammad SAW through the Medina Charter also serves as a concrete example of implementing a harmonious multicultural society. Islamic-based multicultural education has a strategic role in shaping students who are inclusive, humane, tolerant, and able to interact positively within a pluralistic society.

Abstract

Traditional games provide culturally meaningful movement experiences that may stimulate fundamental motor development during early childhood. However, controlled evidence remains limited for structured multi-game traditional interventions in Islamic early childhood education settings using criterion-based gross motor assessment. This study examined the effect of a structured traditional-games program on gross motor development among children attending RA Raudlotul Hidayah Sindang Laut. A quantitative quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group design was modeled with 79 children aged 5-6 years, comprising 40 children in the intervention group and 39 in the control group. The intervention consisted of an eight-week program delivered three times per week for approximately 35 minutes per session and incorporated engklek, gobak sodor, bakiak, boy-boyan, and jump-rope activities. Gross motor competence was assessed using performance criteria adapted from the Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition (TGMD-3), covering locomotor and ball-skill components. The current numerical results are illustrative rather than verified field findings; therefore, they cannot be interpreted as empirical evidence until replaced with actual participant data and the analyses are rerun. Conceptually, the study design is intended to test whether structured traditional games produce greater gross motor improvement than usual movement-learning activities after controlling for baseline performance. The educational implication is that, if supported by verified field data, structured traditional games may offer low-cost, culturally grounded activities for strengthening gross motor competence in early childhood settings.

Abstract

Fine motor competence during early childhood supports manipulation, self-care, emergent writing, and broader school-readiness skills. This study examined whether structured plasticine activities enriched with varied Nusantara themes could improve fine motor performance among children at RA Raudlotul Hidayah Sindang Laut. A quantitative quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group design was modeled with 83 children aged 5-6 years. Forty-two children participated in a seven-week intervention consisting of 21 plasticine sessions, while 41 children followed regular classroom art and manipulative activities. The intervention progressively trained pinching, rolling, flattening, twisting, joining, bilateral manipulation, visual-motor precision, and hand-eye coordination through representations of Indonesian flora and fauna, traditional houses, batik motifs, traditional foods, musical instruments, and maritime icons. Fine motor performance was assessed using a 40-point performance rubric. Synthetic results showed comparable baseline scores between the intervention and control groups (20.88 ± 3.47 vs. 20.39 ± 3.53; p = .525). Posttest scores increased to 28.86 ± 4.85 in the intervention group and 25.27 ± 4.50 in the control group. The mean gain difference was 3.10 points (95% CI [1.75, 4.45], p < .001), with a large standardized effect (Cohen's d = 1.00). ANCOVA controlling for baseline performance confirmed a significant intervention effect, F(1,80) = 20.43, p < .001, partial eta squared = .203. These modeled findings suggest that culturally contextualized plasticine activities may provide repeated, motivating opportunities for precise hand and finger movements while simultaneously introducing children to Indonesian cultural diversity. Field replication using verified participant data and a validated fine motor assessment is required before substantive causal or generalizable claims are made.
