To master measurement, elementary school students need opportunities to discuss how they measured and applied their developing skills and reasoning in context. When measurement is taught without a context, students may struggle to make sense of the numbers and units involved. iSTEM (Integrating Science Technology Engineering in Mathematics) authors share ideas and activities that stimulate student interest in the integrated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in K–grade 6 classrooms.

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs serving students from low socioeconomic areas are understudied in the literature. More research studies need to be conducted to make informed instructional decisions for students who may be at a disadvantage compared to their peers from higher socioeconomic areas. The purpose of this research study was to determine the effects of traditional science instruction and blended learning on STEM achievement of elementary school students from low socioeconomic areas. Third, fourth and fifth grade students (N = 129) from a low-socioeconomic school were randomly assigned to receive traditional science instruction or a blended learning science curriculum approach. The science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) achievement scores were analyzed by conducting a one-way two-group Multiple Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) implemented in R statistical computing platform (R Core Team, 2018). The results indicated that the teaching method had a statistically significant effect on the linear combination of the science, technology, mathematics and engineering scores (F(4,124) = 80.27, p < .0001, Pillai’s Trace = .721, partial η2 = .721), in favor of the blended learning approach.

Abstrak  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran mengenai kemampuan Kids Athletics Pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar di Kota Bengkulu. Jenis penelitian adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan tujuan untuk mengungkapkan atau menyelidiki suatu keadaan yang sebenarnya . Populasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa sekolah dasar Kota Di Bengkulu. Sampel penelitian adalah empat sekolah dasar yaitu SDN 19, SDN 74, SDN 02, dan SDN 01 sebanyak 129 siswa. Instrumen tes yang digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu kanga’s excape, lompat katak, lempar turbo dan formula 1, pada instrumen ini pelaksanaan tes Kids Athletics dilakukan 2 kesempatan ,hasil baik dar kedua kesempatan diambil sebagai skor terbaik yang diperoleh masin-masing teste.  Teknik pengumpulan data penelitian menggunakan tes dan pengukuran terhadap sampel. Teknik analisis data menggunakan deskriptif persentase. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa kemampuan Kids athletics SDN 19 Kota Bengkulu anak laki-laki berkategori kurang (46,7%), sedangkan anak perempuan  berkategori sedang (36,4%). Pada SDN 74 Kota Bengkulu anak laki-laki berkategori kurang (56,25%), sedangkan anak perempuan berkategori kurang (53,8%).

ABSTRACT Reading comprehension is a competence that everyone has to possess. It can broaden human’s insight in that we will not be left behind as time goes so fast. One of the teachers’ efforts as to enhance the reading comprehension competence is to apply a learning model that is able to explore a lot of students’ potency. The learning model considered to be capable of developing the students’ creative-thinking is a generative model. Based on the result of data analysis, it is known that the process of reading-comprehension learning runs well in full activity of students. The students’ tendency to the learning of reading comprehension using such a model is positive in the means of 75.10%. The generative learning model succeeds in enhancing the students’ competence of reading comprehension. The means of score before the treatment is only 53.80%, whereas after the treatment it gets 72% in which the index gain is 0.41 and it is categorized into mediocre. There is difference of reading-comprehension competence between the use of generative learning model and conventional model. It is proven by t-test, indicating that t-observed is higher than t-table. Therefore, the generative learning model is effective and reasonable to use for the teachers in the improvement of stduents’ reading-comprehension competence.

Teaching materials and online learning outcomes that are less than optimal affect the learning process. Students need visualization that can help concrete understanding of the material, especially in implementing online learning. This study aimed to develop interactive multimedia learning in science subjects according to the validation of expert tests and individual trials. This development research applies the DDD-E model (Decide, Design, Develop, Evaluate). The method used to collect data is a questionnaire equipped with observations and interviews. The data analysis used is quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The subject of this development research is interactive learning multimedia. Then a review is carried out from subject content expert validators, instructional design experts, learning media experts, and individual trials on students. The results of data analysis based on validation by subject matter content experts obtained a percentage score of 96.15% with very good qualifications, instructional design experts obtained a score percentage of 87.5% with good qualifications, learning media experts obtained a percentage score of 93.00% with very good qualifications, and the results of the review of 3 students in individual trials obtained a percentage score of 91.66% with very good qualifications. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the interactive learning multimedia developed is very feasible in science learning for sixth-grade elementary school students.
