SCIENCE LEARNING MEDIA: ANALYSIS OF UTILIZATION IN CLASS V MI AL MUBAROK

Learning media are tools or intermediaries used by teachers to channel information to students so that learning objectives are achieved. If we look at the facts on the ground, learning media has its own advantages and challenges in improving the quality of learning, especially at MI. Teachers are required to carry out learning using media, but on the other hand, they face many obstacles such as inadequate facilities and infrastructure. This condition makes teachers have to rack their brains with their abilities and creativity together with students to create alternative media so that the use of media is appropriate and not a barrier to learning. This research aims to analyze the use of learning media and the problems of using science learning media in class V as well as efforts to overcome these problems. This research was conducted at MI Al Mubarok Semanding. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type of research. Namely focused on learning media analysis. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this research show that teachers are able to face the challenges of technological limitations by creating alternative media with students. However, schools are also trying to fulfill the provision of technology-based media by running a one day one coin program so that learning is more effective and efficient.

The Science Teachers’ Optimism Response to the Use of Marker-Based Augmented Reality in the Global Warming Issue

During the COVID-19 pandemic, almost all regions of Indonesia, including Sikka, East Nusa Tenggara, and Indonesia, have implemented e-learning. However, this method has not been conducted in all schools due to the problem of uneven Internet access. Disconnection from the Internet makes it difficult to conduct this process effectively even though students have smartphones. Furthermore, the expectation of education quality improvement in sciences also gets higher with the development of today’s world technology, and this cannot be avoided. Augmented reality (AR) gives a variety of opportunities to be utilized as science learning media embedded on smartphones even without an Internet connection. Therefore, this study aims at conducting an intervention towards the teachers through the training and workshops on the use of augmented reality for science learning on the topic of Global Warming. This research was an action research approach. While considering this problem, the intervention of teachers’ behavior and perception was conducted through training and workshops on the use of augmented reality for science learning using a one-shot case study research design. This program had four stages: need identification, strengthening the understanding of using AR, training and workshop implementation, and evaluation. The participants of this program were 24 science teachers from 10 schools at junior high schools in Sikka Regency, Indonesia (17 females, 7 males). The marker-based AR was developed based on learning media need assessment provided by teachers. Teacher optimism was measured using a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The program’s implementation led teachers to understand the use of AR in learning, significantly to develop HOTs (higher-order thinking skills) in science learning. After experiencing training and workshops, the teachers showed high optimism to use AR in science learning. The results of this study imply for the development of school policies to establish digital learning media used without the Internet on various learning issues in rural areas.

Constructivism-Based Magnetic KIT Design as a Science Learning Media

Some students still feel foreign to hear about electrical material because the material that is passed by some considers it to be still abstract. So that the concept of electric magnetism is still a lot of misconceptions. Based on the research, there are also some teachers who make assignments to students for experiment at their respective homes which makes students not do experiment but imitate the existing theory. The research aims to design a magnetic KIT that can be used for practicum at school. This study uses a 4D development model which is limited to the media development stage. The development of KIT magnets designed with four experiments with precision values in each of experiment have a very high range from 0.93 to 0.99 which it can be categorized high and the highest precision. So that from very high precision the error percentage of the magnetic KIT experiments are the lowest ranging a the lowest precentage 1.8%-9.7% which is categorized as a very low percentage of the magnetic KIT device. So the accuracy of the magnetic KIT device can be said to be very high. For the first and second experiments the results obtained are not much different from the existing theory. The percentage of errors for the first and second experiments ranged from 1.8%-8.6% while the third and fourth experiments were carried out repeatedly but the results were not much different or almost the same.
