Abstract

Semarangan style dance as an identity of Semarang City is essential to be introduced in order to preserve local culture through innovative teaching materials. This study aims to explore the characteristics of Semarangan style dance, identify strategies for enhancing students’ critical thinking skills related to local culture through digital encyclopedias, and examine the improvement of students’ critical thinking abilities. The research employs a qualitative descriptive phenomenological approach involving 30 elementary school students and teachers in Semarang City. Data were collected through observation, interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, and analyzed using interactive analysis techniques. The findings indicate that Semarangan style dance embodies geographical conditions, socio-cultural values, and the multi-ethnic character of Semarang society. Strategies to enhance critical thinking are implemented through stages of dance appreciation, practice, analysis, and evaluation. In conclusion, the use of digital encyclopedias is effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills in cognitive, kinesthetic, and character dimensions. The implications of this study suggest that Semarangan style dance-based digital learning media can serve as an effective model for integrating local cultural content into elementary education, supporting culturally responsive pedagogy and character education. Furthermore, this research provides a pedagogical framework for educators to utilize digital encyclopedias as innovative tools to foster critical thinking while strengthening students’ cultural identity. At a broader level, the findings contribute to efforts in local cultural conservation by positioning traditional dance as a dynamic learning resource within contemporary digital education contexts

Abstract

Limited use of interactive learning media in elementary schools had contributed to low student engagement and unsatisfactory music learning outcomes, particularly in learning about musical instruments diversity. Therefore, technology-based learning media appropriate to students’ characteristics were required. This study aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a musical instruments diversity application to improve students of Grade IV music learning outcomes. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method adapted from the Borg and Gall model. The research subjects were Grade IV students at Protomulyo 1 Elementary School, Kendal Regency. Data were collected through interviews, observations, documentation, questionnaires, and tests, then analyzed using descriptive analysis, normality testing, N-gain score, and paired sample t-test. The results showed that the application was very feasible, with media expert validation of 96.8% and material expert validation of 95.3%. The paired sample t-test showed a significant value (2-tailed) of 0.000, and the N-gain score was 0.815, indicating high effectiveness. The study concluded that the developed application was feasible and effective in improving Grade IV students’ music learning outcomes, offering a practical model for integrating technology into elementary music education.

Abstract

The limited use of innovative and digital based learning media reduces students' opportunities to gain meaningful and relevant learning experiences in real-life contexts. This situation has implications for low learning outcomes in Pancasila Education and becomes an obstacle in strengthening 21st-century skills. This research is directed at producing learning media while assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of Digital Pop-Up Book media in Pancasila Education subjects. The research approach applied is RnD with reference to the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects involved teachers and fifth-grade students of Pener 01 Elementary School, Pemalang, Indonesia. Data collection techniques were carried out through expert assessments, student and teacher response questionnaires, and pre- and post-tests compiled based on learning outcome indicators. Data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, t-tests, and N-Gain tests. The results of the t-test analysis obtained a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (<0.05), which indicates a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. In addition, the N-Gain value of 0.70 (70.0%) is included in the high category, thus indicating a significant increase in student learning outcomes. The developed Digital Pop-Up Book media was declared very feasible, indicated by a validation score of 89% from media experts and 80% from material experts. User responses also showed very positive results, with a student response percentage of 95% and a teacher response of 90%. Thus, the Digital Pop-Up Book media has proven to be feasible and effective for implementation in Pancasila Education learning.

Abstract

Abstract: Elementary-level Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning in Indonesian schools still shows less-than-optimal student outcomes, largely due to the continued use of traditional instructional models and learning media. This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by an Augmented Reality (AR)–based photosynthesis diorama on the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN Kalibanteng 01. The research uses a quantitative approach with an experimental method and a quasi-experimental design of nonequivalent control group. The sample consists of 60 students divided into experimental and control classes. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, documentation, and tests, while data analysis included normality tests, homogeneity tests, independent sample t-tests, and N-Gain tests. The results show that the average posttest score of the experimental class (87.73) is higher than that of the control class (75.03). The hypothesis test indicates a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05. The N-Gain value for the experimental class is 72.35% (high category), while the control class is 41.00% (low category). Therefore, the PjBL model assisted by AR-based photosynthesis diorama media effectively improves students' learning outcomes in Science and Social Studies.
