Analisis Kesulitan Literasi Dasar Siswa Kelas 2 Sekolah Dasar melalui Kajian Fonem-Grafem dan Teori Belajar

2025-05-27T02:02:26+00:00

Reading and writing skills are essential foundational abilities in primary education; however, not all students are able to master them optimally. This study aims to analyze basic literacy difficulties in a second-grade elementary student using a phoneme-grapheme approach and reviewed through cognitive, social, and behaviorist learning theories. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques consisting of diagnostic tests and interviews. Five types of tests were administered to assess the student’s ability to recognize letter sounds, letter symbols, match sounds with letters, copy letters, and write letters from dictated sounds. The results showed that the student was able to recognize all letter sounds well but experienced significant difficulties in identifying letter symbols, matching sounds to letters, and writing them independently. The student demonstrated ability only with letters memorized by rote, particularly those found in their own name. Interviews also revealed that the student felt shy, lacked self-confidence, and showed low interest in reading and writing activities. These findings indicate that the student’s literacy difficulties stem from a weak phoneme-grapheme connection, compounded by cognitive limitations, minimal social interaction in learning, and low motivation. Therefore, an individualized, multisensory, and contextual learning approach is needed to support the student in developing literacy skills more effectively.

This study aims to determine the effect of Tangram media on improving students' creative thinking skills in mathematics subjects in grade V. The method used in this study is a quasi-experimental method (Quasi-Experimental Design) more specifically Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. After the data is collected, the hypothesis testing is carried out using a two-sample independent t-test or Independent Samples t-test. The sample in this study was taken using a purposive sampling technique, with class V A as the experimental class using Tangram media and class V B as the control class not using additional media. The results of this study indicate that Based on the results of SPSS version 20 calculations, the parametric hypothesis test with the Independent Samples t-test obtained a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 <0.05, then as the basis for decision making in the independent sample t-test it can be concluded that is rejected and is accepted, which means that there is a significant influence between the use of tangram media on improving students' creative thinking skills.

Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Jigsaw untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar IPA pada Siswa Kelas Enam Sekolah Dasar

This study aims to optimize the learning outcomes of 6th grade students in Natural Sciences (IPA) at SDN Malunda, Sasende Environment, by implementing the Jigsaw cooperative learning approach. The background of this study is the low active participation and academic achievement of students in the conventional learning process. The method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) for two cycles, involving 13 students. Each cycle includes planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, documentation, and evaluation of learning outcomes. Before the implementation of Jigsaw, only 46% of students achieved completeness. This figure increased to 85% in cycle I, and reached 100% in cycle II. In addition, student activity in groups and understanding of the material also increased. These results indicate that the Jigsaw strategy is effective in building an interactive, collaborative, and meaningful learning atmosphere.

Miskonsepsi dalam Pembelajaran IPA: Studi Kasus Madrasah Ibtidaiyah di Tuban Jawa Timur

2025-06-01T04:56:02+00:00

The learning of Natural Sciences (IPA) in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) plays an important role in shaping students' understanding of natural phenomena and scientific concepts. However, misconceptions are still found among students regarding the IPA material being studied. This study aims to identify concepts, theories, laws, and scientific facts in IPA learning and to understand the causes and forms of misconceptions that occur at MI Hidayatun Najah Tuban. The method used is qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of observation and interviews. The results of the study show that the use of cooperative learning methods, practical media, and the environment as learning resources can improve students' understanding, although misconceptions are still found in aspects of collaboration and students' conceptual understanding. These findings indicate the importance of the teacher's role in accompanying students and choosing a contextual approach to reduce misconceptions.

Pengembangan Kurikulum Berbasis Keterampilan Abad ke-21 untuk Pendidikan Inklusif di Sekolah Dasar

2025-06-10T08:02:52+00:00

Curriculum development in education is a complex and continuous process aimed at designing an effective learning plan for students. Principles in curriculum development, such as responsiveness to student needs, relevance to the demands of the times, inclusivity, and stakeholder participation, serve as the foundation for determining the direction and objectives of the curriculum. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data from relevant literature to investigate the implementation of these principles in curriculum development. The results show that the implementation of an inclusive curriculum responsive to the demands of the times faces several challenges, including student diversity, the relevance of the curriculum to technological advancements, and alignment with societal expectations. Collaborative efforts from various stakeholders are necessary to continuously improve the curriculum to meet students' needs more effectively, enabling them to face future challenges more effectively.

Eksplorasi Efektivitas Dua Pendekatan Pembelajaran IPA: Perspektif Guru dan Siswa terhadap Metode Eksperimen dan STAD di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah

2025-06-10T10:32:03+00:00

Science education at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) level plays a crucial role in fostering critical thinking skills, scientific attitudes, and a fundamental understanding of scientific concepts from an early age. However, challenges such as limited facilities, diverse student characteristics, and the need to integrate Islamic values into the curriculum affect the effectiveness of science learning, particularly at MI Miftahur Rohmah Tasikharjo. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using the experimental method and the cooperative learning model STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division) in improving student learning outcomes. This research employed a qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques through direct classroom observation and structured interviews with teachers and students. The data obtained were analyzed to determine the impact of implementing the experimental method and STAD model on students' conceptual understanding and active participation in science learning. The findings reveal that the experimental method enhances students’ understanding of science concepts through hands-on activities, observation, and independent conclusion drawing. This supports the constructivist theory, which emphasizes the active role of learners in constructing knowledge. Meanwhile, the application of the STAD model proved effective in improving teamwork, individual responsibility, and student motivation through group discussions and positive competition.
