<p>Problem solving, creative thinking, and reasoning skills are important skills for students to master to solve various problems that they will face in the future. However, there are still many students that have relatively low ability levels performing these three skills. To improve students' abilities in these three skills, teachers can use learning strategies that incorporate visual learning media. The problem identified in a class of third graders at a public elementary school (SDN 01) in Jagakarsa was the lack of use of learning media in the learning process in the classroom so students' ability in all three skills was less developed. A research study was conducted to determine the increase in problem solving skills, creative thinking skills, and reasoning skills of third grade students at SDN 01 Jagakarsa in math subjects after being taught using instructional media. Data sources were obtained from students' test scores before and after being taught using visual learning media. Based on the N-gain calculation and data analysis using inferential statistics, results showed that the use of visual learning media can improve students' ability to solve problems, think creatively, and reason, especially in mathematics subjects.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong>Keterampilan memecahkan masalah, berpikir kreatif, dan menalar merupakan keterampilan yang penting dikuasai siswa untuk menyelesaikan bermacam persoalan yang akan dijumpainya kelak di masa yang akan datang. Kenyataannya<strong> </strong>masih banyak ditemui siswa dengan kemampuan ketiga keterampilan tersebut yang tergolong rendah. Untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa pada ketiga keterampilan tersebut, guru dapat menggunakan strategi pembelajaran menggunakan media pembelajaran.<strong> </strong>Masalah yang teridentifikasi di kelas III SDN 01 Jagakarsa adalah masih kurangnya penggunaan media pembelajaran yang digunakan dalam proses pembelajaran di kelas, sehingga kemampuan siswa dalam ketiga keterampilan tersebut kurang berkembang.<strong> </strong>Oleh karena itu dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui peningkatan kemampuan memecahkan masalah, berpikir kreatif, serta menalar siswa kelas III SDN 01 Jagakarsa pada mata pelajaran matematika setelah diajarkan dengan menggunakan media pembelajaran. Sumber data didapat dari nilai siswa sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan dengan menggunakan media pembelajaran visual. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan <em>N-gain</em> dan analisis data menggunakan statistik inferensial didapat kesimpulan bahwa penggunaan media pembelajaran visual dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam memecahkan masalah, berpikir kreatif, dan menalar secara keseluruhan khususnya pada mata pelajaran matematika.</p>

AbstractAlternative teaching methods focusing on learner-centered and competency-based education lead to an increase in knowledge and skills students will have to apply after graduation(1); it has been shown that expecting to teach improves learning(2). Flipped classroom is an instructional approach combining individual and team work with active learning strategies(3). Its potential in nutrition courses has been formerly demonstrated, but the results focused on students' satisfaction(1). Aim of this study was to evaluate flipped classroom efficacy for Dietetics students’ achievement in dietetics and nutritional therapy. The study was conducted at University of Pavia, Italy.Sixteen students (8 males) participated in flipped learning during diet therapy course in the third year. They attended 32 hours of in-class activities, case reports discussions, group-based problem solving activities facing 10 different physiological and clinical conditions implementing the Nutrition Care Process approach. Students were assessed during each lesson and with a low stake test. A mid-term anonymous questionnaire using the 5 Likert scale items was submitted in order to evaluate any critical issues besides the degree of satisfaction. Data were analyzed by frequency.Both teamwork and individual initiative and problem solving skills were assessed: 12 students out of 16 were positively evaluated; 38% of students contributed greatly to the discussion in class (more than 5 times during the course). Students showed a high level of frequency in using scientific evidence, authoritative websites, guidelines and position papers (80%). All improved their slideshow contribution, becoming more effective as course progressed, scoring high (7/10) at the end of the course. Students were satisfied with the flipped learning class overall (68%), referring that flipped learning was helpful for self-directed learning (80%) and motivation for learning (81%), they enjoyed the use of training videos and would have liked to be able to use more (86%).The Flipped classroom is a valid approach when applied to final year students who already have reached autonomy in scientific literature search and identification of the appropriate sources for problem solving and clinical cases discussion. It was observed that flipped learning is helpful for the interaction and collaboration in the classroom. However conclusions are difficult to be drawn because this study was conducted only once in only one course, so it is hard to generalize the results. Besides further studies are recommended to compare an experimental group with a control group.
