APPLICATION OF RADEC LEARNING MODEL TO IMPROVE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS' SCIENCE LITERACY ON HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM MATERIAL

This study aims to determine how science literacy before and after using the RADEC learning model, how the difference in the improvement of science literacy in the class used, namely the experimental class (RADEC model) and the control class (conventional model) and know how the implementation of science learning using the RADEC model on Human Digestive System material. The method used is Quasi Experiment with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design research design. The population of this study was a school in North Sumedang District with a research sample of grade V students totaling 112 students consisting of 56 female students and 56 male students. The instruments used were test instruments and observation sheets. The research data were processed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS applications. The data analysis technique used to process data is the average measurement using Microsoft Excel while the normality test, homogeneity test, 2-group hypothesis test (t-test and U-test), and N-gain test using SPSS. The observation sheet instrument was processed by describing the research results based on objective conditions. Literacy before using the RADEC model obtained an average of 55.9 with the low category while afterward obtained an average of 80.4 with the high category. In addition, there is a difference in the improvement of science literacy between the experimental and control classes. The experimental class test scores had a greater increase than the control class. The experimental class had an average value of 0.55 while the control class with a value of 0.30 based on the N-Gain Test. RADEC learning steps are well implemented according to its stages starting from the (Read) stage the teacher asks students to read the material, (answer) students answer pre-learning questions, (discuss) students discuss in groups, (explain) students present the results, (create) students make simple works according to creativity

Peer Tutor Method to Improve Problem Posing Ability

This study was conducted to determine the description of learning with the peer tutor method implemented through situation-based learning. The urgency of this study is to find out the problem posing ability of elementary school students as an intellectual skill that students must possess to support future competition. From the existing problems, students are accustomed to receiving knowledge without posing the problems they find. The peer tutor method through SBL facilitates students in problem-posing ability, problem-solving, and independent learning. The peer tutor method makes it easier for teachers to provide structured guidance to facilitate students through discussions. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method involving fourth-grade students, in which the data were obtained using observation, interview, and documentation guidelines. The obtained data were reduced to be able to conclude. This study found that learning through the peer tutor method involves active student roles, facilitates students to construct their knowledge in a guided manner, creates meaningfulness in students in posing problems, leads to follow-up questions, and responses to the problems posed

Development of Android-based application on volume material in grade V

In learning mathematics, especially volume material, students still have difficulty understanding the concept. One of the causes is the lack of use of learning media in the classroom to make it easier for students to understand the lesson. This study aims to develop learning media in the form of android-based applications about volume in class V and to determine the feasibility of the applications that have been developed. The research method used in this research is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model. The data collection technique used in this study was an expert validation questionnaire and a user response questionnaire. The results showed that the developed application received a material and language expert validation score of 93.91%, and a media expert validation score of 86.67%. In addition, the results of product trials in small groups received a score of 98.33%, and the test results from the large group trial were 96.48%. This android application media on volume material is very feasible to use in learning

HOTS-Based Learning Versus HOTS-Based Test Instruments: A Study Analysis of Elementary School Teachers' and Students' Readiness

The research is motivated by the demands for the readiness of elementary school teachers and students to face the Merdeka Curriculum, one of which is the demand for HOTS- based learning. The implementation of HOTS-based learning requires an evaluation using HOTS- based test questions as well. The objectives are, 1) to analyze and examine the readiness of teachers in supporting the implementation of HOTS-based learning and its evaluation using HOTS-based test instruments, and 2) to analyze and examine how students' readiness to receive HOTS-based tests, especially in mathematics. This study used the survey method. The survey was conducted on 172 teachers and 154 high grade students in West Java, Indonesia. The instrument used questionnaires, for teachers distributed through Google Form, while for students using paper questionnaires that were filled in manually. Research results: 1) Elementary school teachers aren’t fully prepared to implement HOTS-based learning, there are still misconceptions of teachers' understanding of HOTS learning; 2) In Mathematics, there are still many students who aren’t ready to accept the presence of HOTS-based test questions, because they haven’t mastered basic arithmetic skills. This is the biggest obstacle for students to be able to absorb, accept, and solve HOTS-based math questions as an evaluation standard in the Merdeka Curriculum

Penggunaan Video Animasi untuk Meningkatkan Pengetahuan dan Kesadaran Siswa Sekolah Dasar Terhadap Perundungan

Perundungan adalah masalah yang dapat terjadi di lingkungan pendidikan. Adanya tindakan perundungan di pendidikan dasar bisa menjadi benih bentuk kekerasan lainnya. Peran pendidik di sekolah diperlukan dalam upaya menekan angka perundungan melalui berbagai strategi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan video animasi berbasis pendidikan karakter terhadap pemahaman siswa berdasarkan dua aspek yaitu pengetahuan dan kesadaran tentang perundungan. Subjek penelitian merupakan siswa kelas tinggi sekolah dasar di Kabupaten Sumedang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekan kuantitatif dengan desain prates-pascates yang dilaksanakan pada satu kelompok (one group pretest-posttest design). Instrumen pengumpulan data berupa tes yang diadministrasikan kepada 96 siswa untuk mengukur tingkat pengetahuan dan kesadaran tentang perundungan. Hasil uji-t berpasangan (paired) menunjukkan bahwa aspek pengetahuan memperoleh nilai p<0,05 (0,00<0,05) dan aspek kesadaran memperoleh nilai p<0,05 (0,00<0,05), artinya ada perbedaan antara rata-rata skor prates dan skor pascates dari aspek pengetahuan dan kesadaran. Penggunaan video animasi berbasis pendidikan karakter secara signifikan meningkatkan kemampuan pengetahuan dan kesadaran siswa kelas tinggi terhadap perilaku perundungan
