ts of SDN Telang 2 in the 2026/2027 academic year. The study used a quantitative approach with the Pre-Experimental Design method and One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The research subjects were 17 students. Data collection techniques were carried out through tests, observations, and documentation. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test given before and after treatment. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test. The results showed that the average pretest score of 68.82 increased to 79.41 in the posttest, with an increase of 10.59 points. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05, so H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. These findings indicate that the use of Google Earth media through the CTL model has a significant effect on the learning outcomes of social studies on natural phenomena material. The integration of Google Earth and CTL provides a more contextual, interactive, and meaningful learning experience, helping students understand the concept of natural features more concretely. Therefore, Google Earth, through the CTL model, can be used as an alternative media and effective learning model to improve social studies learning outcomes in elementary schools.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan media Google Earth melalui model Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) terhadap hasil belajar IPS materi kenampakan alam pada siswa kelas V SDN Telang 2 Tahun Pelajaran 2026/2027. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode Pre-Experimental Design dan desain One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 17 siswa. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Instrumen penelitian berupa tes pilihan ganda yang diberikan sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan uji paired sample t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata pretest sebesar 68,82 meningkat menjadi 79,41 pada posttest, dengan peningkatan sebesar 10,59 poin. Hasil uji paired sample t-test menunjukkan nilai signifikansi (2-tailed) sebesar 0,000 < 0,05, sehingga H₀ ditolak dan H₁ diterima. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media Google Earth melalui model CTL berpengaruh signifikan terhadap hasil belajar IPS materi kenampakan alam. Integrasi Google Earth dan CTL mampu memberikan pengalaman belajar yang lebih kontekstual, interaktif, dan bermakna sehingga membantu siswa memahami konsep kenampakan alam secara lebih konkret. Oleh karena itu, Google Earth melalui model CTL dapat dijadikan alternatif media dan model pembelajaran yang efektif untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar IPS di sekolah dasar.
Abstract:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penghambat dalam pembelajaran motorik dasar yang dihadapi oleh guru PJOK pada jenjang sekolah dasar kelas rendah di MI Baitul Huda Semarang.…
Melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semiterstruktur dengan guru dan siswa, observasi lapangan yang sistematis, serta dokumentasi kurikulum. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi reduksi, penyajian, dan verifikasi data. Temuan terpenting dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pembelajaran berlangsung aktif dan berbasis permainan, terdapat hambatan struktural berupa keterbatasan sarana-prasarana serta hambatan pedagogis terkait heterogenitas kemampuan siswa yang sulit dikondisikan. Lebih lanjut, ditemukan adanya kesenjangan antara aktivitas fisik yang tinggi dengan pemahaman konseptual siswa yang masih rendah, di mana pembelajaran cenderung bersifat intuitif-pragmatis namun belum berbasis pada asesmen diagnostik yang sistematis. Refleksi atas temuan ini mengungkap bahwa ketergantungan pada teacher agency atau kreativitas individu guru dalam memodifikasi alat belum cukup untuk mengatasi persoalan tanpa dukungan kebijakan institusional. Sebagai kontribusi, penelitian ini memberikan peta jalan bagi pengembangan model pembelajaran PJOK yang lebih holistik, yang tidak hanya menekankan pada keaktifan fisik, tetapi juga mengintegrasikan penguatan konsep dan diferensiasi instruksional yang responsif terhadap tahap perkembangan anak. Hasil studi ini diharapkan menjadi referensi bagi pemangku kebijakan dalam merancang program pendampingan guru dan penataan alokasi sumber daya yang lebih tepat sasaran guna menjamin optimalisasi kompetensi motorik dasar pada fase kritis perkembangan anak.

rt of the educational process, needs to be designed adaptively without neglecting the internalization of Islamic values. This study aims to analyze and describe the integration of the Quizizz platform in evaluating Islamic value-based learning at SDN Palumbonsari I, East Karawang District. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed interactively through reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the integration of Islamic values was carried out systematically through three stages: evaluation planning by incorporating value indicators into learning tools, implementation of values in question design and digital feedback, and post-evaluation reflection in class. Digital features were utilized not only to display scores but also to convey moral messages that support Islamic character formation. In practice, digital evaluation functions as a cognitive measurement instrument as well as a means of habituating values. The implications of this research confirm that the use of digital platforms in evaluation can be directed as a medium for internalizing values if it is designed in a structured manner and supported by the teacher's pedagogical commitment.

Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using a Smartboard in increasing students' enthusiasm for learning in the Pancasila Education subject in grade V of SDN 07 Mudiak Lawe, Sungai Pagu District, South Solok Regency.…
gency. From initial observations, it was seen that students' enthusiasm for learning tended to be low, as seen from their inactive attitudes, little interaction, and easily distracted when teachers used less diverse learning methods. To address this, a Smartboard was proposed as an innovative solution. This tool is an interactive whiteboard that uses multimedia and audiovisual technology, so it can combine teaching materials with images, videos, and animations to make learning more interesting and diverse. The method used in this study was the correlation method, namely a quantitative method that studies the relationship between the use of Smartboard interactive features and the level of student enthusiasm for learning. The results showed that the use of Smartboard in learning was proven to be able to increase student enthusiasm for learning. After implementing the Smartboard, students appeared more active and enthusiastic during the learning process, so that their enthusiasm for learning increased and reduced boredom. The implementation of Smartboard involves game-based learning methods such as Duck Race Games and Wordwall, which successfully trigger students' curiosity, focus, and enthusiasm, and encourage them to actively participate in answering questions and interacting in class.

s, and documentation, this study identified three main problems that hinder the success of group learning: gender differences affecting group formation, difficulty ensuring the active participation of each member, and relatively long time for group management. The results of the study indicate that these problems cause group learning to be less effective and have an impact on the decline in students' English skills. Therefore, strategies such as forming inclusive groups, clear division of tasks, the use of participatory observation instruments, the utilization of technology, and the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning approach are recommended to improve the effectiveness of group learning and students' English skills. This study provides an important contribution to developing English teaching methods at the elementary school level by considering social aspects and more effective classroom management.
