Implementation of fun science learning to increase elementary school students’ skill in science and technology

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide an alternative practice in learning for science teachers in elementary schools in order to increase student interest in science and technology. In the implementation of science practicum in elementary school, teachers and students are actively invited to practice with tools and materials that are easy to obtain and use. The method used in this research is by field study with workshop activities for students and elementary school teachers. The implementation of science fun learning is able to increase students’ interest in science and technology and motivate teachers to be creative and apply the concept of fun science learning in guiding the science subject practice in the classroom.

Enhancing Self-Esteem, Satisfaction, and Motor Skills through Gamification in Elementary Physical Education

“…The research results indicate that elementary school students are more satisfied with their learning experiences when teaching is fun and interactive (Bukit et al, 2023;Irwansyah et al, 2019). Similarly, other research findings suggest that elementary school students' satisfaction and academic performance in physical education learning can be improved through the use of technology and gaming elements in the learning process (Andrade et al, 2020;Cojocaru et al, 2022).…”

Funscience Methods to Improve Student Activeness in Science Learning

“…Students in elementary school prefer learning that is not monotonous, learning activities while playing using various means to realize fun learning activities. Students become active in cooperating and conveying their ideas, able to use simple technology, able to apply various concepts of science to explain the symptoms of nature and solve problems in everyday life (Irwansyah et al, 2019).…”

“…Hopefully, in addition to being entertained, participants can be honed curiosity and encouraged by their passion to further enjoy science (Pursitasari, Suhardi, & Putikah, 2019). The advantages of Fun Science methods are facilitating and developing an inquisitive, diligent, open, critical, self-aware, responsible, cooperating, and independent attitude in their lives, helping children to have the ability to use simple technologies that can be used to solve problems in everyday life, as anglers the emergence of aspects related to the skills of the process of science, so that knowledge and ideas about the environment in children become developing, helping children to be able to apply various concepts of science to explain the symptoms of nature and solve problems in everyday life (Irwansyah et al, 2019).…”

Pemanfaatan Metode “Debur Gula” dalam Pembelajaran Tematik yang Aktif dan Menyenangkan

“…Metode pembelajaran yang menyenangkan mempunyai pengaruh positif terhadap keterampilan berpikir analitik siswa. Keterampilan berfikir analitik siswa yang disertai dengan proses percobaan merupakan konsep yang lebih baik dari pada hanya dengan menggunakan metode konvensional ceramah (Irwansyah, et al, 2019). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian terdahulu, menunjukkan bahwa metode pembelajaran yang menyenangkan dapat meningkatkan minat dan motivasi siswa.…”
