Analisis Pengaruh Dimensi Kecemasan Terhadap Sikap Belajar Matematika Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Tri Yanti — 2026-02-01

This study aims to analyze the effect of anxiety on elementary school students' attitudes in learning mathematics, focusing on two dimensions of anxiety: cognitive and somatic. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a path analysis method based on Partial Least Square (PLS). Data were obtained through a closed questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, and distributed to 50 elementary school students. The results of the analysis showed that cognitive anxiety had a significant effect on students' attitudes (p <0.001), while somatic anxiety did not have a direct effect, but contributed indirectly through cognitive anxiety. These findings indicate that learning interventions that target cognitive aspects are more needed to form positive attitudes towards mathematics. This study contributes to the development of educational strategies that are sensitive to students' psychological aspects, as well as providing practical input for teachers and policy makers in designing emotionally supportive learning environments.

Peningkatan Pembelajaran Aktif melalui Pengembangan Paket Media di Kelas V SD Swasta Pardamean Medan

Kania Tiur Adelia Siringoringo — 2026-02-27

This study was conducted at Pardamean Private Elementary School in Medan to analyze the learning process in fifth grade, particularly focusing on the level of student participation during classroom activities. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through classroom observations and interviews with the fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Situmorang. The observation results indicated that most students tended to be passive, relying heavily on teacher instructions and showing limited initiative, which led to a predominantly one-way learning process. Although the teacher had made efforts to deliver explanations optimally, student-centered activities were not fully implemented due to limited learning media, time constraints, and variations in student abilities. The learning media used were primarily textbooks and the blackboard. Based on these findings, the study formulated an initial concept of simple learning media, including flash cards, question cards, student discussion sheets, and learning modules, designed to support more interactive classroom learning. In conclusion, the study highlights the need for practical and accessible learning media to encourage active student participation and reduce teacher-centered learning in elementary school classrooms.

The Effect of Metacognitive-Based Deep Learning Models in Mathematics Learning on the Academic Resilience of Elementary School Students

Muhammad Bayu — 2026-02-27

Mathematics learning at the elementary level is often associated with anxiety and low academic resilience, which may hinder students’ persistence and performance. Strengthening resilience through innovative instructional models is therefore essential. This study aims to examine the effect of a Metacognitive-Based Deep Learning model on the academic resilience of elementary school students in mathematics. A quantitative true experimental design with a posttest-only control group was employed. The sample consisted of 120 fourth- and fifth-grade students divided equally into experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a 20-item mathematical resilience questionnaire measuring value, struggle, growth, and perseverance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis using PLS-SEM confirmed the validity and reliability of the instrument. Data were analyzed through an independent samples t-test, Cohen’s d effect size, and two-way ANOVA. The results revealed a highly significant difference between groups (p < .001), with a mean difference of 24.233 points and a very large effect size (d = 3.46). The findings indicate that the intervention consistently improved students’ academic resilience across grade levels without significant interaction effects. This study contributes theoretically by reinforcing the role of deep learning integrated with metacognitive strategies in developing non-cognitive competencies in elementary education. Practically, it offers an evidence-based instructional alternative to enhance students’ resilience and reduce mathematics anxiety.

The Effect of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) Learning Model Assisted by Stick Media on Understanding the Concept of Multiplication

Azzahra Septia Hanami — 2026-02-27

This study is grounded in the need to enhance students’ conceptual understanding of multiplication, which often remains procedural and lacks meaningful comprehension at the elementary level. The research aimed to examine the effect of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) model assisted by stick media on students’ understanding of multiplication concepts. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 64 elementary school students divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected using a validated post-test instrument measuring conceptual understanding. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression to determine the strength and significance of the relationship and predictive contribution of the independent variable. The findings indicate that students taught using the RME model assisted by stick media achieved higher post-test scores compared to those receiving conventional instruction. The regression analysis demonstrates a strong and significant positive effect of the RME model on conceptual understanding, with a substantial proportion of variance explained by the model. These results confirm that contextual learning integrated with concrete manipulatives enhances students’ ability to construct mathematical meaning. The study contributes empirically to the development of mathematics learning strategies by demonstrating the effectiveness of combining RME principles with simple, low-cost media. Its added value lies in providing a practical and theoretically grounded instructional alternative that can be readily implemented to strengthen conceptual learning in elementary mathematics.

The Implementation of the Inquiry-Based Learning Model in Improving Elementary School Students' Numeracy and Literacy Skills

Tiara Maharani Suroso — 2026-02-27

This study analyzes the effect of the inquiry-based learning model on elementary school students’ numeracy literacy skills. Using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design with 30 fifth-grade students, data were collected via essay-based tests. The results showed a significant increase in numeracy literacy, with the average score rising from 59.77 on the pretest to 82.53 on the posttest. Statistical validation through a paired-samples t-test yielded a t-value of -145.275 (p < 0.05), confirming that the improvement was not due to random chance. Furthermore, an N-Gain analysis of 0.788 indicates a high level of improvement. Deeper analysis using the Pearson product–moment correlation revealed a very strong positive relationship of 0.991 (p = 0.000) between pretest and posttest scores. This demonstrates that student progress was highly consistent across the group, meaning the intervention effectively benefited both high- and low-achieving students similarly. These findings suggest that inquiry-based learning effectively enhances numeracy literacy by encouraging active involvement and contextual problem-solving.

Exploring Multidimensional Relationships between Educational Situation Perception, Teacher Support, Digital Learning Engagement, and Academic Self-Efficacy in Elementary School

Dita Amelia Putri — 2026-02-27

This study examines the structural relationships among students’ perceptions of the learning environment, perceived teacher support, academic self-efficacy, and students’ engagement in digital learning in elementary school digital learning contexts. A quantitative survey approach was employed, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that academic self-efficacy significantly predicts students’ participation in digital learning activities. Teacher support significantly contributes to strengthening academic self-efficacy and indirectly influences digital learning engagement through the improvement of students’ academic confidence. In contrast, educational situation perception does not show a significant direct relationship with either academic self-efficacy or digital learning engagement. The sequential mediation pathway involving teacher support and academic self-efficacy is statistically confirmed. The model demonstrates satisfactory explanatory power and predictive relevance. The results suggest that psychologically driven factors supported by effective pedagogical practices play a more central role in fostering students’ digital engagement than contextual perceptions operating independently. These findings highlight the mediating role of academic self-efficacy within the multidimensional framework tested in this study.
