Abstract

Insufficient reading interest remains a persistent issue in elementary education, particularly when learning lacks interactive, engaging, and culturally relevant experiences. This study aimed to examine the effect of local culture–based digital educational puzzle multimedia on the reading interest of Grade IV students at SDN Tinading. A quantitative approach was applied using a Pre-Experimental One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. Data were collected through a reading interest questionnaire administered before and after the intervention, supported by observation and documentation. Statistical analysis included the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test using SPSS version 26. The findings revealed an increase in the mean reading interest score from 33.00 (pretest) to 36.10 (posttest), indicating a gain of 3.10 points (9.39%). The Wilcoxon test result showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), confirming a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. These findings suggest that integrating local culture into digital puzzle multimedia creates more meaningful and engaging learning experiences, which positively influence students’ reading interest. The study implies that such media can serve as an effective alternative to promote reading engagement in culturally responsive and interactive elementary learning environments.

Abstract

Student learning outcomes that are not optimal in learning Indonesian in elementary schools are generally caused by teacher-centered learning practices and the lack of use of interactive media. This study aims to analyze the application of the PBL model assisted by audiovisual media in grade II students at SD Negeri 03 Ketaon. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach involving principals, teachers, and students in the 2025/2026 school year. Data was collected through triangulation techniques and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study showed that the implementation of audiovisual-assisted PBL was carried out systematically through five stages, namely problem orientation, student organization, investigation guidance, development and presentation of results, and evaluation. This model is able to increase student engagement, motivation, critical thinking skills, and concept comprehension, which is shown by an increase in average scores from 62.56 to 86.28. Learning has also become more active, interactive, and student-centered. However, its implementation requires adequate time allocation, effective classroom management, and adequate facility support. Implicitly, this model can be a strategic alternative in improving the quality of learning processes and outcomes in elementary schools.

Abstract

The low level of mathematical conceptual mastery in elementary schools remains a critical issue requiring innovative instructional approaches. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in improving fifth-grade students’ conceptual understanding. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design was applied. Samples were selected through purposive sampling and divided into an experimental group (PBL) and a control group (conventional teaching). Data were collected using a validated essay test administered before and after the intervention. Analysis using an independent sample t-test revealed a significant difference between groups, with the experimental group outperforming the control group. The mean pretest scores were 62.43 (control) and 62.52 (experimental), while posttest scores increased to 72.21 and 80.14, respectively. The significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05) confirms that PBL has a positive effect on students’ mathematical conceptual understanding. These findings indicate that PBL is effective not only in improving learning outcomes but also in enhancing the learning process by positioning teachers as facilitators, increasing student engagement, and fostering logical and reflective thinking in solving contextual problems.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop local-wisdom-based flashcards for Pancasila Education and determine their validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at Buoyant Montessori School. The study employed Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The product consisted of 17 flashcards measuring 10 × 15 cm, containing illustrations of Indonesian cultural diversity, brief materials, stimulating questions, and reinforcement of Pancasila values related to Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. The product was tested through a small-scale trial involving six students and a large-scale trial involving experimental and control groups. Data were collected through expert validation, teacher and student response questionnaires, and pretest-posttest assessments. Media expert validation obtained 92.86%, while material expert validation obtained 100%, both categorized as very valid. Teacher and student responses reached 98% and 98.55%, respectively, both categorized as very practical. The hypothesis test produced a significance value of 0.000. The experimental group obtained an N-Gain of 0.79 (high), while the control group obtained 0.51 (medium). Therefore, the flashcards were valid, practical, and effective for improving Pancasila Education learning outcomes.

Abstract

Enhancing collaboration skills in Science and Social Sciences learning requires effective instructional strategies. This quantitative study aimed to determine the effect of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model on fifth-grade students’ collaboration skills. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 56 students from SDN Gugus Hayam Wuruk Tawangmangu, with 28 students assigned to the experimental group and 28 to the control group. Data were collected using a validated 15-item collaboration questionnaire with a Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.719. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean score increased from 77.07 to 86.29, an increase of 9.22 points, while the control group increased from 75.86 to 78.07, an increase of 2.21 points. The Independent Samples t-test revealed a significant difference in post-test collaboration skills between the two groups (t(54) = 4.710, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that the Jigsaw model positively affects collaboration skills by encouraging active participation, communication, shared responsibility, and cooperation through expert and home group activities. Therefore, the Jigsaw cooperative learning model is an effective strategy for developing collaboration skills in science and social learning and supporting the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka at the primary school level.
