Happy Nanda Asmara — 2026-04-29

This research is based on the existence of problems in Javanese language learning in grade IV. Students consider the Javanese uploading material to be difficult material. Educators use the lecture method more, without the help of learning media so that students are bored. Therefore, the researcher developed a flashcard media for ngoko and krama vocabulary through a simulation method with the aim of helping students understand the differences and use of ngoko and krama vocabulary. This research uses the type (R&D) with the ADDIE model consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The results of the study showed that (1) The development of flashcard media obtained 80% (valid) results from material expert validators, 97.3% (very valid) media expert validators, 96% (very valid) results from question validators. The results of the teacher trial were 100% (very good), the results of the small group trial were 86.7% (very good) and the results of the large group trial were 90.83% (very good). (2) The feasibility of flashcard media can be seen from the results of increasing pre-test to post-test scores. The average result of the pre-test score was 50.00 to 87.50 in the post-test results, so there was an increase of 37.50 points. This proves that the flashcard media of ngoko and krama vocabulary through the simulation method is declared suitable for use as a learning medium in Javanese language subjects in grade IV elementary school.

Nikmah Latifah — 2026-04-29

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran busy book dan untuk mengetahui keefektifan media busy book terhadap keaktifan belajar peserta didik kelas III MI Nurul Islam Mirigambar. Penelitian ini menggunakan model pengembangan ADDIE yang meliputi lima tahapan yaitu: Analysis (analisis), Design (desain/perancangan), Development (Pengembangan), Implementation (implementasi), dan Evaluation (evaluasi). Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi observasi, wawancara, dan angket. Validasi dilakukan oleh ahli materi dan ahli media. Uji coba dilakukan dalam skala kecil dan skala besar. Analisis data meliputi data kualitatif dan data kuantitatif. Data kualitatif diperoleh dari wawancara, observasi, dan angket. Sedangkan data kuantitatif berupa hasil dari lembar validasi, dan angket respon siswa tentang penggunaan media pembelajaran busy book. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa media busy book yang dikembangkan sesuai dengan kebutuhan peserta didik yaitu: media pembelajaran mampu mendukung keaktifan belajar siswa, bersifat interaktif, menarik serta sesuai dengan karakteristik siswa kelas III. Media busy book ini dikembangkan melalui tahapan model ADDIE, sebagai berikut:
a) Analisis, guru dominan menggunakan metode ceramah dan hanya berpacu pada bahan ajar, sehingga siswa kurang antusis dan memilih bermain selama proses pembelajaran. b) Perencanaan, membuat rancangan berupa media busy book. c) Pengembangan, menghasilkan media busy book yang interaktif. d) Implementasi, validasi oleh ahli media memperoleh skor 90% (sangat valid), ahli materi 96% (sangat valid), dan respon peserta didik 87,6% (menarik).e) Evaluasi, media diperbaiki berdasarkan saran dari para ahli. Penggunaan media busy book ini terbukti dapat membangun keaktifan belajar peserta didik yang awalnya pasif menjadi lebih aktif melalui kegiatan menggunting, menempel, berdiskusi, dan menjawab soal.

The Influence of the Concrete Pictorial Abstract Approach on Students' Conceptual Understanding

Whendika Retno Setyowati — 2026-04-29

The low conceptual understanding of mathematics in elementary schools is often caused by learning practices that ignore the cognitive phase of students, which is the background of this research. This study aims to test whether or not there is and how much influence the concrete pictorial abstract approach has on students' conceptual understanding of plane geometry material. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental research type was used in this study. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling which is included in nonprobability sampling. The data collection technique was carried out through written tests in the form of pretests and posttests. The data analysis technique used was the normality and homogeneity test as prerequisite tests. The Independent Sample T-test and Cohen's d test were used for hypothesis testing. The results of the study showed that (1) There is an influence of the concrete pictorial abstract approach on students' conceptual understanding of plane geometry material, as shown in the results of the Independent Sample T-test with a Sig. value of 0.001 (≤ 0.05), so that Ha1 is accepted and Ho1 is rejected. (2) There is a large influence of the concrete pictorial abstract approach on students' conceptual understanding of the material on flat shapes, as shown by the results of the Cohen's d test with a d value of 1.31 (≥ 0.8), so that Ha2 is accepted and Ho2 is rejected. The results of the study confirm that the implementation of concrete pictorial abstracts increases students' conceptual understanding statistically and has practical significance.

The Evaluation of the Islamic Education Learning System Using the CIPP Model to Improve the Human Development Index at SDN Banjaran 2 in Kediri city

Arina Qak — 2025-04-30

This study aims to analyze and evaluate the implementation of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) instruction using the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, Product) as an effort to improve student quality, thereby contributing to the Human Development Index (HDI) at SDN Banjaran 2 in Kediri City. The CIPP evaluation model is one of the program evaluation approaches developed by Stufflebeam that is oriented toward decision-making and the continuous improvement of program quality. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research results indicate that in the context dimension, the PAI learning objectives are aligned with the institution’s vision of shaping students with religious character who can internalize Islamic values in their daily lives. In the input dimension, teacher readiness, curriculum implementation, and the availability of facilities and infrastructure are considered adequate, although there is still a need to optimize the use of learning media and strengthen parental involvement. In the process dimension, learning activities took place quite effectively through the application of varied methods combined with the reinforcement of religious practices, such as reciting the Asmaul Husna, performing the Dhuha prayer, and reciting short surahs before lessons began. In terms of the product dimension, improvements were observed in students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, as reflected in their religious understanding, attitudes, and religious practices. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of Islamic Education (PAI) instruction based on the CIPP model makes a significant contribution to improving student quality, particularly in supporting the educational dimension of the Human Development Index (HDI).
