Abstract

The low learning outcomes of 3rd grade students at Public Elementery School 05 Mukomuko City in Mathematics subjects two-dimentional figure and their characteristics only 3 students (38%) who have the above grades of minimum criteria (KKM). With an average student evaluation score of 48. For this reason, it is necessary to improve learning to improve student learning outcomes. One effort to improve learning is the use of appropriate learning models with subject matter. In this case the researchers used a direct learning model (direct instruction) to improve student learning outcomes. Direct Learning Model is one of the active learning models that provides opportunities for students to share ideas, consider the most appropriate answers and answer questions verbally so as to foster student confidence in expressing ideas or answers in front of the class thus is expected to improve student learning outcomes. From the learning outcomes that researchers do turn out direct learning models (direct instruction) can improve student learning outcomes, this is evidenced by an increase in student learning outcomes in each study that researchers do. Learning that researchers do begins with the prasiklus stage which is carried out on Tuesday April 25 2017 with an average student learning outcomes of 50.8, improvement of the first cycle Tuesday May 2, 2017 the average student learning outcomes to 61, and improvement of Cycle II Tuesday 09 May 2017 the average student learning outcomes 81.5. Thus it can be concluded that using the direct learning model in Mathematics can improve student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the experimental method, specifically using hydroponic techniques, in improving student learning outcomes in primary school science education. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures was employed, involving two groups of sixth-grade students from MI NU Tamrinut Thullab Undaan Kudus, Indonesia. The experimental group engaged in hands-on hydroponic activities, while the control group received traditional lecture-based instruction. The results indicate a significant improvement in the experimental group’s post-test scores (M = 89.31) compared to the control group (M = 74.33), with statistical analysis revealing a t-value of 5.85 (p < 0.05). Qualitative feedback from students further supports these findings, as they reported increased motivation and a deeper understanding of scientific concepts through the experimental method. This study highlights the potential of inquiry-based, hands-on learning to enhance student engagement and performance, especially in resource-limited educational settings. The findings suggest that integrating experimental methods into the science curriculum can significantly improve learning outcomes and should be considered in future educational reforms. However, the study's limitations, including a small sample size, indicate the need for further research to replicate these findings in diverse contexts.

Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has been widely recognized as an effective pedagogical model for improving students’ understanding of science by encouraging active engagement, critical thinking, and problem-solving. This study aimed to analyze conceptually how the application of PBL can enhance students’ comprehension in natural science learning at the elementary school level. A library research design was employed, drawing upon books, journal articles, and relevant prior studies, which were systematically reviewed and synthesized to examine theoretical foundations, practical implementations, and empirical findings of PBL in science education. The analysis revealed that PBL facilitates higher-order thinking skills by providing authentic problem contexts that require inquiry, collaboration, and reflective learning, thereby improving students’ conceptual mastery and their ability to connect scientific principles with real-life experiences. Furthermore, PBL was shown to strengthen creativity, motivation, communication, and collaboration among learners, making it an appropriate model to prepare students with competencies aligned to 21st-century education. The novelty of this study lies in its contextualization of PBL within Indonesian elementary education, highlighting both its theoretical potential and practical relevance for improving science literacy. The findings imply that educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers should consider integrating PBL as a strategic instructional model to enhance the quality of science teaching and learning, while future studies are encouraged to validate these insights through classroom-based empirical research.

Abstract

Improving the quality of science education in primary schools has become a central concern in Indonesia, where international assessments continue to indicate lower achievement levels compared to neighboring countries, thus underscoring the importance of adopting pedagogical approaches that foster inquiry and scientific reasoning from an early age. This study aimed to analyze the urgency of implementing the scientific approach in natural science learning at the elementary school level by situating it within the framework of the 2013 Curriculum. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from policy documents, peer-reviewed journals, and scholarly books and analyzed through thematic analysis to identify key patterns, challenges, and opportunities related to the integration of inquiry-oriented instruction. The results reveal that while the scientific approach is conceptually aligned with international standards of inquiry-based learning and has the potential to enhance student engagement and critical thinking, its implementation in Indonesian classrooms remains constrained by systemic barriers such as limited teacher preparation, insufficient resources, and exam-driven teaching practices. The discussion highlights that bridging the gap between curricular policy and classroom practice requires sustained professional development, contextual adaptation of teaching strategies, and supportive educational policies that prioritize inquiry processes over rote memorization. This study contributes to the literature by offering novel insights into the conceptual and practical urgency of the scientific approach in developing country contexts and implies that successful integration could not only improve student learning outcomes but also strengthen the foundations of scientific literacy essential for twenty-first century competencies.

Abstract

This study addresses the need for classroom‐level evidence on student activeness in junior-high science by estimating the proportion of learners across engagement categories during routine lessons. Using a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional design, data were collected in a single administration from an intact eighth-grade class at SMPN 14 Bengkulu City (N = 30; 15 male, 15 female; response rate 100%). A 15-item Likert-type questionnaire operationalized five indicators of classroom activeness (participation in discussions, articulating opinions, initiating questions, problem solving, and involvement in practical work). Responses were summarized as frequencies and percentages across five categories (Inactive, Less active, Moderately active, Active, Very active). Results showed no students in the Inactive or Less active categories (0% each), with 10% Moderately active, 30% Active, and 60% Very active, indicating a strongly favorable engagement profile in day-to-day science instruction. These findings suggest that classroom routines in the observed setting support frequent student voice, questioning, and hands-on involvement, and they provide a category-based benchmark that makes heterogeneity visible for instructional decision-making. The principal contribution is a practical baseline reported as proportions rather than only mean scores that schools can use to set targets, tailor supports for moderately active students, and monitor shifts over time. Implications include guiding teacher professional development toward participation-eliciting routines, informing resource allocation for practical activities, and establishing a measurement approach that can be scaled and triangulated (e.g., with classroom observations) to drive continuous improvement in lower-secondary science learning.
