Analisis Materi Ekosistem Dalam Buku Teks SD Kelas V: Studi Dokumentasi Kualitatif Deskriptif

2025-05-29T07:18:38+07:00

This study undertakes a comparative analysis of two Science (Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam – IPA) textbooks concerning ecosystem material for fifth-grade elementary school students. Each textbook distinctively represents the 2013 Curriculum (Student Book Theme 5 Ecosystem) and the Merdeka Curriculum (IPAS-BS-KLS-V Book), respectively. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the research utilized a documentary study approach. A document analysis sheet served as the primary research instrument, facilitating the identification and comparison of the material's scope, pedagogical approaches, and core emphases presented in both textbooks. The analysis reveals that while both resources offer a comprehensive treatment of ecosystem concepts, fundamental distinctions exist in their structural organization and primary focus. The 2013 Curriculum textbook adopts an integrated thematic approach, interweaving ecosystem topics with various other subjects to foster a holistic learning experience, simultaneously stressing character development and literacy skills. In contrast, the Merdeka Curriculum textbook centers on inquiry and project-based learning, thereby prioritizing in-depth conceptual understanding and the cultivation of science process skills through active exploration. The implications of these findings underscore the critical importance for educators to comprehend the unique characteristics and curricular emphases of each textbook when selecting or combining learning resources. This understanding is vital for optimizing the attainment of learning objectives and effectively accommodating diverse student learning styles.

Analisis Konten Komparatif Bahan Ajar IPA Tata Surya: Studi Kritis Kurikulum KTSP-Merdeka

2025-06-18T08:39:09+07:00

This study aims to analyze and compare science textbooks focused on the solar system for fourth-grade elementary school students. A literature review identifies several essential criteria that quality textbooks must fulfill. If deficiencies are found, revisions are necessary to ensure effective teaching. Science textbooks should also include activities that promote critical thinking among students. The research evaluates the content feasibility, language use, and presentation suitability of science textbooks aligned with the KTSP and Merdeka Curriculum regarding solar system material. A qualitative descriptive approach is employed, concentrating on science textbooks about the solar system for fourth-grade students. Data collection involves observation, documentation, and analysis of errors and conceptual accuracy within the textbooks. The findings reveal minor errors in the KTSP textbooks, particularly in language and presentation aspects. In contrast, the Merdeka Curriculum textbooks are deemed suitable as learning resources for sixth-grade students. Their comprehensive content, simple and understandable language, and engaging, interactive presentation make these books effective in supporting the learning process. Overall, the Merdeka Curriculum textbooks are more appropriate than the KTSP textbooks as teaching materials for elementary science.

Analisis Perbandingan Materi Ekspor Impor Dalam Buku IPS Kelas VI Pada Kurikulum KTSP Dan Kurikulum Merdeka

2025-06-18T08:39:47+07:00

This study investigates the comparative presentation of export and import material in sixth-grade Social Studies (IPS) textbooks under the 2006 School-Based Curriculum (KTSP) and the 2022 Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka). The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, focusing on content analysis of two government-issued textbooks to explore differences in structure, depth, pedagogical approach, and visual representation. Findings reveal that the KTSP textbook delivers content in a compartmentalized and structured manner, emphasizing conceptual mastery through explicit maps and thematic separation of social and economic aspects. In contrast, the Independent Curriculum adopts an integrated, narrative, and project-based approach through IPAS textbooks, merging science and social studies to foster contextual understanding and critical thinking. However, the lack of concept maps and explicit economic focus in the IPAS book poses pedagogical challenges. The study concludes that curriculum design significantly influences students’ comprehension of global economic concepts and highlights the need for textbooks to align with curriculum philosophy, offer relevant examples, and support 21st-century skills. This research contributes to curriculum development discourse by emphasizing the importance of contextual and integrated textbook design in enhancing economic literacy among elementary students.

Pengaruh Model Project Based Learning Terhadap Berpikir Kritis Dan Pemecahan Masalah Sumber Daya Alam IPS Sekolah Dasar

2025-06-18T08:40:32+07:00

This study investigates the effect of Project Based Learning (PjBL) on the critical thinking and problem-solving skills of fourth grade elementary school students in Social Studies, specifically on the topic of Natural Resources. A quantitative method with a descriptive-explanatory design was employed, involving 51 purposively selected students in Gunung Jati District. Data were collected using 20 essay items aligned with indicators of critical thinking and problem solving, which were validated (r_count > 0.361) and demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.899). Results of the paired sample t-test indicated a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) in students’ cognitive skills after the implementation of PjBL. The approach was particularly effective in enhancing students’ abilities to analyze problems, draw conclusions, and propose relevant solutions. These findings suggest that PjBL supports the development of higher-order thinking skills by engaging students in contextual, inquiry-based learning. However, challenges such as limited time and inadequate project resources were noted. Practically, the findings recommend integrating PjBL in Social Studies curricula to foster active and critical learning. Theoretically, the study reinforces constructivist learning principles as a basis for curriculum development in primary education.

The Influence of Academic Coping And Friendship Quality on Elementary Students’ Learning Engagement

2025-06-18T08:40:48+07:00

This study aims to explore the relationship between academic coping strategies, friendship quality, and learning engagement of elementary school students within a single conceptual framework. A quantitative approach is used through a survey method, with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis technique. The study subjects consisted of 240 students in grades 4 to 6 from three elementary schools. The results of data processing showed that the dimension of friendship quality had a significant influence on student engagement, while the contribution of academic coping strategies was identified as low and not statistically significant. The validity of ACOP constructions is also relatively weak, so it is necessary to develop a more representative instrument. These findings emphasize the important role of social relationships in shaping student engagement in schools, and suggest that educational programs focus more on strengthening supportive social interactions in the learning environment.
