Understanding scientific concepts in elementary school, particularly the topic of Earth's layers, remains a challenge due to its abstract nature. Low student interest and difficulty in visualizing geospheric structures highlight the need for more contextual and engaging learning media. This study aims to examine the effect of using audiovisual media on fifth-grade students' understanding of science concepts. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental class using audiovisual media and a control class using conventional methods. The analysis revealed a significant difference in concept comprehension between the two groups. Students exposed to audiovisual media demonstrated greater improvement in understanding compared to those taught through traditional methods. These findings suggest that audiovisual media effectively support students in grasping abstract concepts through engaging visual and auditory presentations. The study implies that integrating interactive learning media is essential to enhance the quality of science education in elementary schools.

This study is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in science subjects, particularly in the topic of energy transformation in fourth-grade elementary school. The lack of student engagement during conventional teaching methods is considered a major factor contributing to poor conceptual understanding. Therefore, this research aims to examine the effectiveness of interactive learning in improving students’ academic performance on the topic. A quantitative approach with a descriptive method was employed. The participants were fourth-grade students at a public elementary school, with data collected through learning outcome tests and classroom observation. The results showed that the implementation of interactive learning significantly enhanced student participation, clarified the concept of energy transformation, and promoted deeper understanding. Students’ average test scores demonstrated a notable improvement after the interactive learning approach was applied. These findings suggest that actively engaging students in the learning process can serve as an effective strategy to address low academic performance in specific science topics. The implications highlight the importance for teachers to adopt more varied and engaging teaching methods to improve the quality of elementary science education.

This research is motivated by the problems faced by fifth-grade students at SDN 1 Narimbang Mulia in understanding the material on forms and changes of energy in everyday life. One of the main obstacles identified is the lack of teaching aids and the unappealing nature of student worksheets, which hampers the learning process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of elementary students' understanding of the forms and changes of energy, as well as to identify the obstacles they face in learning the material. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including student observations, teacher interviews, and the administration of a post-test at the end of the learning session. The research subjects are fifth-grade students of SDN 1 Narimbang Mulia. The results of the study show that most students have a fairly good understanding of the concepts of energy forms and changes. However, there are still obstacles in the learning process, including limited teaching aids and uninteresting student worksheets. This study is expected to serve as a basis for developing more effective learning strategies to improve students' understanding of the material on energy forms and changes in everyday life.

Farmer regeneration is a strategic element in achieving sustainable agricultural development, especially amid the overall decline in the farming population. This study aims to identify the demographic trends of young farmers and examine their readiness in adopting agricultural technology in Tasikmalaya City. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Agriculture, and various scientific literature. The findings reveal that despite the overall decrease in the number of farmers, the number of young farmers has increased in recent years, indicating potential for regeneration in the agricultural sector. Young farmers tend to be more open to innovation and possess relatively strong digital literacy; however, the adoption of agricultural technology remains limited to specific aspects and has not fully integrated into the entire production process. The main challenges include limited access to capital, underdeveloped digital infrastructure, and a lack of technical training and mentoring. Therefore, comprehensive policy interventions are necessary, including strengthening farmer regeneration policies, improving supporting infrastructure, and promoting community-based mentoring to accelerate the adoption of agricultural technology among young generations.
