The Effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model Assisted by Quizizz Media on IPAS Learning Outcomes of Grade IV Elementary School Students in Sanggau Regency

/0 Comments/in /by

Background: Social Science and Natural Science (IPAS) learning in elementary schools faces significant challenges, particularly in teaching the topic of social and cultural diversity in Indonesia. Conventional, teacher-centered approaches have failed to stimulate students’ critical thinking skills and active engagement, especially in the multi-ethnic context of Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan.

Objectives: This study aims to: (1) test the significant effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Quizizz media on IPAS learning outcomes of Grade IV students; (2) describe the effectiveness of Quizizz in improving motivation and cognitive learning outcomes on the social and cultural diversity topic through PBL; and (3) analyze differences in learning outcomes between students taught using PBL assisted by Quizizz and those taught using conventional methods at SD Negeri in Sanggau Regency.

Methods: This study employs a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental Research method using a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The study population comprises 45 Grade IV students across three SD Negeri in Sanggau Regency: SD Negeri 01 Sanggau (experimental), SD Negeri 02 Balai Karangan (experimental), and SD Negeri 14 Sekumpai (control). Samples were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection instruments include direct observation sheets, teacher performance observation sheets, a learning achievement test (20 multiple-choice items via Quizizz), and interview guidelines. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk), homogeneity test (Levene’s test), Independent Sample t-Test, and N-Gain score.

Expected Findings: Based on the theoretical framework and relevant prior research, it is hypothesized that the PBL model assisted by Quizizz media will have a significant positive effect on IPAS learning outcomes, demonstrate greater effectiveness in increasing motivation and cognitive learning outcomes compared to conventional methods, and produce a statistically significant difference in post-test scores between the experimental and control groups.

Conclusion: The PBL model assisted by Quizizz media is projected to be a contextually relevant, effective, and innovative approach to improving IPAS learning outcomes in the local cultural context of Sanggau Regency, providing empirical evidence to support its broader adoption in elementary social and science education in Indonesia.

The Effect of Problem-Based Learning Model-Local Wisdom with ELIKOSIS Media on Elementary School Students’ Ecoliteracy Skills and Science Learning Outcomes

/in /by

This study aims to examine: (1) the effect of the Problem-Based Learning model with ELIKOSIS media on the IPAS ecoliteracy skills of elementary school students, (2) the effect of the Problem-Based Learning model with ELIKOSIS media on the IPAS learning outcomes of elementary school students. The background of this study is based on the importance of strengthening eco-literacy from elementary education and the need for contextual learning that integrates the local wisdom of the Edelweiss mountains with play activities that are appropriate for the characteristics of elementary school students. This study is a quasi-experimental study with a posttest-only control design. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class that received the Problem-Based Learning-Local Wisdom model treatment with ELIKOSIS media and the control class that used direct learning. Data collection was carried out through an ecoliteracy test, an IPAS learning outcome test, and an observation sheet on the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning-Local Wisdom model with ELIKOSIS media. Data analysis in this study used inferential statistics, specifically the t-test technique, with the SPSS version 27 application. The results of the study showed that: (1) there was a significant effect of the Problem-Based Learning model with ELIKOSIS media on the IPAS ecoliteracy skills of elementary school students, (2) there was a significant effect of Problem-Based Learning with ELIKOSIS media on the IPAS learning outcomes of elementary school students.
