Based on observation data, it can be seen that science learning in elementary schools still does not improve student learning outcomes. This is because the learning is still teacher-centered or learning that is centered on the teacher (the teacher is active while the students are passive) and the use of learning media is still lacking. This can cause the impression of boring learning and can result in low student motivation which has an impact on student learning outcomes in learning. Therefore, a study was conducted on the use of role-playing tools in improving science learning outcomes about the motion of objects and energy. The purpose of this study was to improve science learning outcomes about the motion of objects and energy by using teaching aids. This study used classroom action research (CAR). The research subjects were grade III students of SD Negeri 06 Dobo, Aru Islands Regency, Maluku. The results of the study showed that the use of role-playing tools can increase (1) student activity in learning, (2) increase teacher activity, (3) Improve student learning outcomes in science learning about the motion of objects and energy. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of teaching aids can improve student learning outcomes in science learning about the motion of objects and energy. Suggestions that can be given in this study are that student learning outcomes can be improved through other learning methods and media.

Learning assessment is a crucial element in the educational process that aims to measure how well students understand the material taught. The tools chosen for measurement have a significant influence on the validity and accuracy of the assessment results. At MAN 2 Bantul, educators generally use two types of measurement tools, namely multiple-choice tests and essay tests. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of essay tests in comparison with multiple-choice tests in assessing student learning achievement at MAN 2 Bantul, using the direct interview method. This study was conducted to gain insight into the views of teachers and students regarding the effectiveness of both types of tests in the educational evaluation process. Data were collected through direct interviews with teachers and students who had experience in using both types of measurement tools. Data analysis was obtained using a descriptive qualitative approach to explore their views and experiences regarding the accuracy and appropriateness of tests in assessing learning outcomes. The findings from the interviews showed that multiple-choice tests were considered more effective and practical in measuring student learning outcomes because they used the JMD (Jogja Madrasah Digital) application, which immediately displayed the scores. However, the teachers also agreed that essay tests provided a more comprehensive analysis of learning outcomes because they encouraged students to think critically. This study recommends the implementation of a combination of both types of exams to make learning evaluation more efficient.

Educational evaluation is crucial for assessing student success and the effectiveness of educational programs. Formative and summative evaluations have distinct objectives. Formative evaluation focuses on the ongoing learning process, while summative evaluation aims to assess the final learning outcomes. The Scriven model combines both types of evaluation to improve student learning outcomes. This article discusses the application of the Scriven model to improve Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning outcomes at Ngrukeman Elementary School, Bantul. This study emphasizes the importance of evaluation in shaping students' character, developing their thinking, and enhancing social awareness. Educational evaluation aims to assess not only cognitive aspects but also affective and psychomotor aspects. With effective evaluation, teachers can identify students' strengths and weaknesses and design better learning. This contributes to improved student achievement and the overall quality of education. In this way, educational evaluation becomes a highly effective tool for improving and optimizing the learning process, ultimately supporting the achievement of comprehensive educational goals.

The learning model that can be used to make students active is the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. The Problem-Based Learning model is a problem-based learning, where learning is centered on students so that students are required to provide solutions to the problems given. This study aims to determine how much impact the application of the PBL model has in improving student learning outcomes on learning the Basics of Electronic Engineering at SMK Negeri 2 Dumai. The type of research used is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental method using a pretest-posttest control group design.

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Discovery Learning model that utilizes the surrounding environment in improving the learning outcomes of Biology Science on plant material and its functions in grade 3 students of MI Al Barokah Jember. This approach refers to David A. Kolb's experiential learning theory and Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky's constructivism theory, which emphasizes the importance of active student involvement through real-life experiences and social interactions. This study uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) model with four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 24 students, with data obtained through observation, learning outcome tests (pre-test and post-test), and reflective interviews. Data analysis was carried out using quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed a significant increase in students' conceptual understanding, with an average pre-test score of 60 increasing to 82 in the post-test, and 83% of students showed improved learning outcomes. Student activity also increased, with more students actively involved in observations, discussions, and presentations. As many as 80–85% of students were able to explain the functions of plant parts based on direct observation. Students responded positively to this lesson, but there were limitations in the variety of plants and the timeframe. It is recommended to reinforce initial understanding with visual aids and allow more time for group discussions.

Learning strategies are both a systematic approach and an art for managing the learning process so that learning objectives can be achieved effectively and efficiently. As a method, learning strategies are designed based on specific principles and rules derived from learning theory and educational research. This makes learning strategies a distinct field of knowledge that can be studied, developed, and applied scientifically. As an art, learning strategies demonstrate an educator's ability to creatively and flexibly utilize various learning resources, methods, and media according to student characteristics and the learning environment. A teacher who possesses sensitivity and intuition in managing learning can create a pleasant atmosphere and motivate students to be active and independent in their learning. Without a clear and directed strategy, the learning process tends to be haphazard, unfocused, and difficult to achieve. Therefore, planning and implementing appropriate learning strategies are crucial factors in the success of the educational process, as they determine the extent to which teaching and learning activities can proceed optimally and produce meaningful learning outcomes for students.  

This research addresses the low student learning outcomes and the lack of facilitation of 4C competencies (Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, and Creativity) in the Industrial Machine Electrical Systems (SKMI) subject for Grade XI TMI 1 students at SMK Negeri 1 Pariaman. The teacher-centered learning approach has led to passive student participation, low critical thinking, varying academic abilities, and difficulty in connecting theoretical concepts to real-life applications. The aim of this study is to improve students' 4C competencies and learning outcomes through the implementation of the Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) cooperative learning model. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, the study was conducted in three cycles: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 30 students from Grade XI TMI 1. Data collection included learning outcome tests and 4C competency observation sheets, with descriptive and quantitative data analysis. The results showed significant improvements: classical mastery increased from 27% to 90%, average learning scores rose from 67 to 81, and 4C competency mastery improved from 34% (low) to 82% (high). The study concludes that the TAI model effectively enhances both 4C competencies and learning outcomes in SKMI at SMK Negeri 1 Pariaman.
