The purpose of this study was to obtain empirical data on the use of learning methods Problem Based Learning (PBL) in improving learning outcomes Natural Sciences on the ecosystem. This study was conducted in primary schools to research subjects fifth grade students totaling 30 people. This research is an action using a model Kemmis and McTaggart, conducted in two cycles. The results showed an increase in the value of this is evidenced by the Natural Sciences learning outcomes of students in the first cycle is 60% of students who tuntasdengan average grade 68, increased in the second cycle at 90% of students who completed with an average grade teachers 78. Activities and students according to the steps of this method reach 100% (mastery learning) at the end of the second cycle. The conclusion of this study indicate that the use of methods Problem Based Learning (PBL) can improve learning outcomes Natural Sciences.

This study aims at determining the ability of the fifth-grade students of state primary schools (SDNs) located in cluster 3 of Sabang City, Aceh; to rewrite folktales that are read, including the aspects of character, background, plot, language, and punctuation. The approach employed by this study is a descriptive quantitative approach. The population as well as samples in this study were 20 fifth-grade students of SDN 26 and 20 students of SDN 28 Sabang. The research data was collected by test techniques, in the form of assignments. Data is analyzed by quantitative descriptive analysis techniques, namely making a list of raw scores, calculating the average score of students, and classifying the results of the samples studied. The results of the study showed that the ability of the fifth grade students of SDNs in cluster 3 of Sabang City to rewrite the read folklore had not reached the specified value criteria. There are only 35% of students who have sufficient ability or score above 75, and many 65% of students do not have adequate ability who score below 75. This study also shows that of 40 students, only 3 students get a very good predicate with a score of 90, 30 students obtained a good predicate with a score of 65-85, and 7 students obtained a sufficient predicate with a score of 60.

Based on the panel data of 20,594 fourth- and fifth-grade students in the western provinces A and B in China, this paper analyzed the effect of boarding at school on the mental health of students using a combination of the propensity score matching (PSM) and difference-in-differences (DID) methods. The results showed that boarding had no significant effect on the mental health of students, but the tendency of loneliness among boarding school students was increased. Heterogeneity analysis found that fifth-grade students whose parents had both left home to work were more likely to have poorer mental health when boarding. This paper has essential policy significance for guiding rural primary schools to improve the mental health of boarding school students, especially left-behind children.

This study examines the implementation of tablets in primary schools in Norway. The outcome measures in the study are external for the intervention and are recorded data from national tests (National reading, arithmetic and English Tests, Classes 5, 8, and 9, National Mapping Tests for reading and arithmetic, Classes 1–3, and the 2014–2017 National Pupil Survey). The entire study (N = 15, 708) relies on an explanatory, sequential mixed-methods design and in this study we examine the quantitative effects of this implementation. The results indicate that in several school areas tablets have rather limited effect on pupils learning outcome. However, there were both some negative- and positive effects of tablets on several of the outcome measures. It seems that tablets contribute more positively to boys’ school achievements than to girls’ school achievements. The effect of introducing tablets is significantly positive for boys in fifth grade in English (as in the first cohort from 2015/2016). This might also be linked to a “spill over-effect” from outside school learning where the significantly positive results for boys in fifth grade in English can be interpreted as a sign of the times where English language immersion in leisure time (e.g., gaming, youtube, etc.) among boys are continuously developing. For boys, we also find positive significant effects on well-being, common rules, and assessment for learning, while in girls we find positive and significant effects on mastering, teacher support, and assessment for learning. From the study, we find some tendencies that when the use of tablets is supported by teachers who have high digital competence, their use seems to have a small equalizing effect between the school achievements of boys and girls. However, we cannot rule out that a grade effect and informal learning may also have an impact on the results, and we therefore request that the results be read with this reservation.

The media cannot be separated from the learning process. The use of learning media that is not interesting and varied makes students bored. This research was conducted to produce learning media products in the form of based video animation of powtoon. To achieve these objectives used to Research and Development (RD) method. The development of instructional media focuses on Natural Sciences (IPA) subjects for the fifth-grade of primary schools. To find out the coherence between media and material, validity test have been conducted by media experts and material experts. The results of product validity by the two experts have obtained a very decent category. From the media, expert obtained a value of 89.8% and material experts 88.7%. Next, to find out the effectiveness of the media on the subject matter, a trial was conducted at SDIT. The results of a limited trial to learners obtained a very decent category with 96.36% and an evaluation by the educator of 91.1%. The results of the analysis by both experts and have been tested on students and educators, that the powtoon-based learning video media has met the criteria to be applied as a learning media for IPA
