Abstract

This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology across two cycles to investigate the effectiveness of ICT-based interactive media in boosting mathematics learning motivation among fourth-grade students (N=32) at SD Negeri 15 Banda Aceh. The initial observation indicated low student motivation, characterized by passive participation, lack of engagement in problem-solving, and a class average motivation score of only 58.5%. This situation necessitated an innovative teaching intervention focusing on motivational factors. The intervention involved integrating digital games, interactive simulations, and visually appealing multimedia content during mathematics lessons, specifically structured to align with cooperative learning principles. Data were collected using questionnaires for learning motivation (pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II) and observational sheets for student engagement. Results showed a marked improvement in motivation post-intervention. In Cycle I, the average motivation score increased to 75.2%, indicating that the novelty and interactive nature of the media successfully stimulated interest. Following refinements in Cycle II, particularly emphasizing peer collaboration facilitated by the media, the average motivation score further rose to 88.9%. This final achievement exceeds the established success indicator of 80%. The study concludes that the application of ICT-based interactive media is highly effective in increasing the mathematics learning motivation of fourth-grade students. The interactivity and visualization capabilities of the digital media successfully transformed the learning environment from teacher-centered to student-centered, consequently improving engagement and intrinsic drive towards the subject. This approach is recommended for other primary schools seeking to tackle motivational deficits in abstract subjects like mathematics.

Abstract

Mastering the concept of fractions presents a significant challenge for many third-grade students, often resulting in low conceptual understanding and difficulty in problem-solving. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using concrete learning media to improve the comprehension of fraction concepts among students in Grade III at UPTD SPF SD Negeri Sirimomungkur. The research utilized a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, structured into two cycles, with all third-grade students serving as participants. Data was collected through observation of teaching and learning activities and concept comprehension tests, including a pre-test and post-tests for each cycle. The findings indicate that the application of concrete media such as physical objects, shapes, and manipulatives significantly enhanced students' engagement and learning outcomes. The use of tangible resources made the abstract concept of fractions more accessible and relatable. There was a notable progression in student mastery. This approach successfully increased the percentage of students who achieved the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) from the initial condition through Cycle I and Cycle II. This research concludes that concrete media is highly effective and recommended for teaching abstract mathematical concepts like fractions at the elementary level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and measure the effectiveness of using flashcards to improve English vocabulary mastery among fourth-grade students at Muhammadiyah Gunung Lagan Elementary School. The background of the problem indicates that fourth-grade students often encounter difficulties and lack motivation in memorizing English vocabulary, which impacts suboptimal learning outcomes. This weakness is strongly suspected to stem from monotonous conventional learning methods, a lack of media variety, and minimal visualization. To address these issues, this study adopted a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, implemented through two cycles. Each cycle consisted of four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 25 fourth-grade students at Muhammadiyah Gunung Lagan Elementary School. Data were collected through observations of student activity during the learning process and learning outcome tests (pre-test and post-test) in each cycle. The results showed significant improvement. In Cycle I, the percentage of classical completion reached 68%, with room for improvement. After corrective actions in Cycle II, the percentage of classical completion increased sharply to 88%, exceeding the established success indicator (the school's Minimum Completion Minimum). Furthermore, observations showed a positive increase in student activity and enthusiasm. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of flashcards has proven effective and is suitable as an innovative solution to improve the English vocabulary mastery of fourth-grade students at Muhammadiyah Gunung Lagan Elementary School.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the language skills of early childhood learners at RA Al-Hikmah through the implementation of singing-based instructional methods. Early language development is critical for cognitive, social, and academic growth, yet many young learners face challenges in vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, and expressive communication. Singing has been recognized as an effective pedagogical strategy to stimulate linguistic and cognitive development by combining rhythm, melody, and repetitive phrasing, which support memory and oral expression. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, conducted in two cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were 25 children aged 4–6 years, and data collection involved observation sheets, language performance assessments, and audio-visual documentation. The findings revealed a significant improvement in children’s language abilities after the implementation of the singing method. In the initial observation, only 28% of students demonstrated age-appropriate expressive language skills. After the first cycle, this increased to 60%, and by the second cycle, 88% of children achieved marked improvement in vocabulary, sentence formation, pronunciation, and communicative confidence. Moreover, the observation indicated increased engagement, attention span, and social interaction among students during learning activities. These results suggest that singing methods are an effective, engaging, and developmentally appropriate strategy for enhancing early childhood language skills, supporting both cognitive and socio-emotional growth.
