The research was conducted in the fourth grade of SDN Dukuh Kupang 1 Surabaya, involving 28 students as research subjects. The method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, carried out in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of one meeting. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and tests. The results indicated that the use of PHIBAR media significantly improved students' ability to perform addition of three-digit numbers. The percentage of students achieving mastery increased from 39.29% in the pre-cycle to 64.29% in the first cycle and reached 89.29% in the second cycle. Additionally, the class average score improved from 68.21 to 86.43. The PHIBAR media proved to be effective in visualizing abstract concepts into concrete representations, helping students understand place value and carrying processes in accordance with their cognitive development stages.</p> Dhona Ayu Qomara Copyright (c) 2025 The Elementary Journal https://jurnal.gerakanedukasi.com/index.php/TEJ/article/view/122 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Developing Cover Song-Based Multimedia to Support Pancasila Education in Primary Schools https://jurnal.gerakanedukasi.com/index.php/TEJ/article/view/142 <table width="621"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="385"> <p>This research is a development research that aims to analyze, design, develop, implement and evaluate Cover Song media. The results showed the need for interactive media and help understanding Pancasila education material for grade III SD / MI. Selection of children's songs that students already know, making lyrics that are easy to understand, different video concepts, and devices as well as Canva and CapCut applications to support the development of Cover Song media. The gadget is used as a sound recording device, Canva and CapCut applications for video editing. Validation by material experts obtained a percentage of 100% including very valid criteria. The results of validation by learning video experts obtained a percentage of 96.48% including very valid criteria. The results of the trial to the teacher obtained a percentage of 100% (very good), the small group obtained a percentage of 92.85% (very good), the results of the large group trial 97.71% (very good), and the results of the field trial 97.80% (very good). Based on the results of validation and research trials, the media developed is feasible to be used as learning media. The results of the trial show that there is no need for revision, Cover Song media get very good validation results and trials with very good response results, so it can be concluded that Cover Song media can be used as learning media to answer existing needs in the learning process.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Adill Fulki Amalia Misdiantoro, Uswatun Hasanah Copyright (c) 2025 The Elementary Journal https://jurnal.gerakanedukasi.com/index.php/TEJ/article/view/142 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Impact of Quranic Storytelling Methods on the Development of Students' Akhlakul Karimah https://jurnal.gerakanedukasi.com/index.php/TEJ/article/view/132 <p>This study was motivated by the researcher's desire to re-examine the theory of the storytelling method expressed by Poerwadarminta and Amin. In Poerwadarminta's theory, it is stated that the storytelling method can arouse the enthusiasm of students' learning in learning the morals of morals. It is hoped that by using this storytelling method, students can have a noble, ethical personality, and have good role models. While Samsul Munir Amin revealed that there are several praiseworthy characteristics of morals towards oneself, but in this study only discusses 3 characteristics, namely trustworthiness, forgiveness, and patience. The result of this study 1. There is no significant effect between the method of telling story the results of statistical calculations using the simultaneous test that fcount 0.595 &lt; ftabel 3.287 with a sign level of 0.451&gt; 0.05. Meanwhile, by using &nbsp;a partial test that tcount -0.772 &lt; 1.753 with a sign level of 0.451&gt; 0.05.&nbsp; So from these calculations it states that Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected, indicating that there is no significant influence between the method of telling stories in the Koran on the trustworthy nature of 4th grade students in moral teaching.&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.

However, in fact the level of critical thinking and problem-solving skills in students is still relatively low. Therefore, a learning model is needed that can help improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills in students, one of which is the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model. This research uses a quantitative approach with the type of research Quasi Experiment Design. The population in this study were all fourth-grade students at MIN 3 Tulungagung, totaling 81 students. Sampling was done by purposive sampling technique. The samples selected as research subjects were students of class IV-B as a control class totaling 27 people and class IV-C as an experimental class totaling 27 people. Data collection techniques were used using tests and observations. Data analysis techniques used are 1) prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity tests) and 2) hypothesis tests (t-test and MANOVA test). The results of this study indicate that 1) there is an effect of the application of the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model on critical thinking skills as evidenced by the results of the t-test of critical thinking skills obtained a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.001 &lt;0.05, then H01 is rejected and Ha1 is accepted; 2) there is an effect of the application of the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model on problem-solving skills as evidenced by the results of the t-test of problem-solving skills obtained a sig value. (2-tailed) of (&lt;0.001) &lt;0.05, then H02 is rejected and Ha2 is accepted; and 3) there is an effect of the application of the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model on critical thinking and problem-solving skills as evidenced by the results of the MANOVA test of critical thinking and problem-solving skills obtained a significance value of (&lt;0.001) &lt;0.05, then H03 is rejected and Ha3 is accepted.</p> Adhista Dhevy Ichsannanda Copyright (c) 2025 The Elementary Journal https://jurnal.gerakanedukasi.com/index.php/TEJ/article/view/133 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Effectiveness of Diorama Media in Enhacing Students' Creative Thingking Skills in Social Science Learning https://jurnal.gerakanedukasi.com/index.php/TEJ/article/view/149 <p>This research is based on the lack of activeness of students in participating in the learning process due to monotonous learning, therefore students' creative thinking skills are not honed. The increase in creative thinking is greatly influenced by creative and innovative learning methods. In this case, creative thinking can be enhanced with a diorama project. The objectives of this study are: 1) To determine the effect of the use of diorama projects on the creative thinking ability of grade V students in science learning. 2) To find out how much the use of diorama projects affects the creative thinking ability of grade V students in science learning. This study uses a quantitative approach with a <em>quasi-experimental</em> type of research. This research was carried out at MIN 14 Blitar with a class B sample as an experimental group using a diorama project and class C as a control group using conventional learning. Data was collected through <em>pre-test </em>and <em>post-test</em> creative thinking and questionnaire after implementing the diorama project. The results of this study are, 1) There is a significant influence of the use of diorama projects on the creative thinking ability of class V students in science learning with a sig value. 0.002 because there is a strong relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. 2) The magnitude of the influence was obtained as 0.468 because there are other variables that can theoretically affect creative thinking but are not measured in this study such as learning motivation and students<em>' interests.</em></p> Indana Zulfa Copyright (c) 2025 The Elementary Journal https://jurnal.gerakanedukasi.com/index.php/TEJ/article/view/149 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000
