Improving Students' Physical Literacy Through an Active Learning Approach in Elementary Schools

Improving physical literacy among elementary school students is a key focus in shaping an active and healthy generation. Physical literacy encompasses the understanding, skills, and motivation to participate in physical activity throughout life. In the context of elementary education, active learning approaches are considered effective for enhancing physical literacy, as this method encourages more dynamic student engagement in the learning process. This study focuses on elementary school students and how active learning approaches are implemented to improve their physical literacy. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of active learning approaches in enhancing physical literacy among elementary school students. This study employs a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental approach. The sample consists of 120 students divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through physical literacy tests and observations of student activities during the learning process. The findings indicate that students participating in active learning showed significant improvement in physical literacy compared to the control group. This improvement was evident in motor skills, understanding of physical activity concepts, and student motivation to engage in physical activities. The active learning approach proves effective in enhancing physical literacy among elementary school students. Recommendations are provided for educators to integrate this approach into physical education curricula to improve learning quality and encourage active student participation.

Efforts to Improve Numeracy Literacy Skills of Grade V Students of Elementary School 067694 Medan Through Differentiated Learning

Improving the Numeracy Literacy Skills of Grade V students at SD 067694 Medan is the main objective of this Classroom Action Research. Some high-class students still have difficulty in using mathematical symbols, difficulty interpreting existing data, and making decisions from the analysis they have done. Several efforts have been made such as reading books 15 minutes before entering class, but the results have not been significant in students' numeracy literacy skills. So it is necessary to focus more on smaller subjects in this case the class, and class V was chosen because it does not interfere with the program and for preparation for graduation later. The instruments used in this PTK consist of numeracy literacy test instruments, student activity observation sheets and interviews. The first action taken is to apply differentiated learning based on students' learning styles (Audio, Visual, and kinesthetic), obstacles found in cycle I related to the devices used and students' inflexibility in participating in group learning. In Cycle II, adjusting the condition of the device, and adjusting the number of learning media used. Of the four indicators of numeracy literacy that have increased, the indicator that appears to have a significant increase is the indicator of drawing conclusions. After the actions of cycle I and cycle II were carried out, the students' conclusions were more argumentative and provided quite appropriate reasons. Then, when viewed from the students' learning styles, the activities carried out by students in cycle II were more focused than in cycle I. However, from both cycles, students with a kinesthetic learning style in each learning activity were increasingly active, when participating in learning with learning media.

Enhancing science communication skills biology in students through the number head together

The teaching of science communication skills at the high school level can be effectively accomplished through lessons that are oriented not only towards the development of cognitive skills, but also towards the acquisition of hands-on communication skills. The present study employs an experimental research design to investigate the impact of NHT-type cooperative learning on students' science communication skills. This study employs an experimental design comprising an class and a control class. The study population comprised students at X MIPA UPT SMAN 2 The X MIPA 3 class was designated as the experimental class, while the X MIPA 7 class served as the control class. Sampling was conducted using a randomised system. The data employed in this study were derived from two sources: primary data collected via the science communication skills rubric and secondary data obtained through observation of student and teacher activities. The data collection instrument was a science communication skills observation sheet that had previously been tested for validity and reability. The data were analysed using the Friedman test, which revealed significant differences in students' science communication skills between the control and experimental classes at each meeting (p < 0.05). Similarly, the Wilcoxon test demonstrated a significant difference between the control and experimental classes at each meeting (p < 0.05). The findings of this study suggest that further research should be conducted at a larger scale to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the rubric of science communication skills.
