PENGGUNAAN MEDIA GAMBAR DAN VIDEO PEMBELAJARAN INTERAKTIF UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN SOAL CERITA MATEMATIKA PESERTA DIDIK KELAS 3 SDN SIMBATAN 1


 Mathematics for elementary school participants is a scary subject, it is embedded in the mindset of students. Especially when students encounter story problems (literacy) they feel confused and difficult. We as teachers must be able to change this mindset because basically mathematics is a subject related to analytical, logical and creative thinking. In addition, the lack of learning media can make students difficult and confused. This study aims to increase students' understanding of math story problems through the use of interactive learning media images and videos. The research method used is Collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR). The research subjects were class III participants at SDN Simbatan 1 in 2022/2023, totaling 25 students. The learning outcomes obtained from observing the value of learning outcomes in cycle I are 68,88% to 79,2% in cycle II. The conclusion that can be drawn is that using interactive learning media images and videos increases students' understanding of math story problems with an increase in learning outcomes.

The Improvement of The Students' Vocabulary by Using Crossword Puzzle

This study aims to help overcome the problems that exist in class VII B students of SMPN 1 Jabiren Raya, Pulang Pisau Regency, Jabiren Raya District.

This research uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) method. This research design uses collaborative classroom action research. This study collaborated with the English teacher of SMPN 1 Jabiren Raya as a collaborator and observer. The model in this study uses the Kurt Lewin Model where the stages in each cycle begin with the stages of Planning, Action, Observation, and Reflection. This study consisted of two cycles in which in each cycle there was 1 meeting with a duration of 3 subject hours. To collect data, researchers used research instruments: Vocabulary Test, Interview, and Questioner. After the implementation of this research, there was an increase in students’ vocabulary. It can be seen from the increase in each cycle, namely in cycle 1 students got 53.3% classical completeness and increased in cycle 2 to 90% after conducting vocabulary tests through multiple choice. Therefore, based on the research that has been conducted, the Crossword Puzzle method can improve students' vocabulary.

PENINGKATAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA MENGGUNAKAN MEDIA NUMERIC LADDER PADA SISWA KELAS II SDN BANGET 1

Many obstacles to achieving educational goals occur due to several problems, one of which is the low student learning outcomes in a particular subject which is usually caused by the large number of teachers using conventional methods and the lack of innovation in learning, so that it is less able to attract students' interest in learning material that is implemented, especially in mathematics. The purpose of this research is to improve the mathematics learning outcomes of second grade students at Banget 1 Elementary School related to the equalization of units of weight. The method that researchers use in Collaborative Classroom Action Research (PTK) is carried out with 2 learning cycles using the Kurt Lewin model in which there are stages; (1) planning (planning), (2) action (acting), (3) observation (observing), and (4) reflection (reflecting). The subjects in this study were class II students at SDN Banget 1, totaling 5 students. From the results of the average grade II students in the pre-cycle, namely 66.4 to 78.2 in cycle I and 85.4 in cycle II. This proves that Collaborative Classroom Action Research (PTK) which has been carried out using the Numeric Ladder learning media in Mathematics Class II at Banget 1 Elementary School is said to be successful.

Application of Inquiry Learning Methods to Increasing Students' Interest in Speaking English

This study investigates how the implementation of InquiryInquiry can improve students' interest in speaking English in class VII in Public Junior High School 18 Cirebon. This collaborative classroom action research did in two cycles, and the participants of this study participants were 24 students from the target class, consisting of 12 girls and 12 boys. The researcher herself acted as an observer, and one of the English teachers from the target school acted as a teacher (collaborator). This is a descriptive-qualitative study because this study investigates the value of teaching speaking. The findings from the classroom observation, the video recorded, and the field notes were analyzed and then described according to the relevant theorists. The findings proved that InquiryInquiry improved students' interest in learning speaking in class VII Public Junior High School 18 Cirebon. The improvement in the student's interest was proved by the student's enthusiasm and the students' joy during the teaching process. It also proved from the students' responses during discussion sessions and practising and from the students' exposure to using English during the lesson. Implementing InquiryInquiry in teaching English facilitates students to do maximal in doing their best during the learning process. However, InquiryInquiry consumes time and is unsuitable for many students in a classroom. Inquiry facilitates freedom for students in finding their knowledge through learning, but it only ensures students' focus on their studies if the teacher does maximal management and scaffolding. Thus, the findings above made the researcher suggest a more prominent study with sufficient time and broadened Cycle for better results.
