“…critical thinking (Florea & Hurjui, 2015;Kettler, 2014;Vieira & Tenreiro-Vieira, 2016). The purpose of science learning in the primary schools is not to make the students for being expert in science, but rather to make the students understand and have scientific literacy (Fitzgerald & Smith, 2016;Laursen et al, 2007;Winarni et al, 2020).…”

This research aimed at analyzing the influence of 'Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning' model assisted by realia media, in which it was to improve the scientific literacy and critical thinking skill of primary school students, especially for the material of energy. This quasi-experiment research used single factor independent groups design. The research sample of this research were fourth grade students of SD Inpres Oeba 2 Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara Province, of which students were in the academic year of 2019/2020. The technique of sample collection was carried out purposive sampling for 2 classes. The IVA class was used as the experimental class (POGIL model assisted by the realia media), in which it consisted of 30 students and the IVB class was used as the control class (expository learning) that consisted of 28 students. The learning was carried out in four meetings. The data of scientific literacy and the results test of critical thinking were collected by means of objective test on the energy material. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to analyze the data using significance level of 0.05. The results indicate that (1) There is a significant difference between the students' scientific literacy who gain the POGIL learning assisted by the realia media and the students' scientific literacy who get the expository learning; and (2) There is a significant difference between the critical thinking of students who get POGIL learning assisted by realia media and the students who get the expository learning. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the scientific literacy and the students' critical thinking taught by the POGIL learning that assisted by realia media to the students who use expository learning. Since there is a significant difference, it means that the POGIL learning assisted by realia media has an influence on the students' scientific literacy and critical thinking.

“…Oleh karena itu, IPA merupakan salah satu mata pelajaran yang penting bagi siswa karena perannya berguna untuk masa depan dan kehidupan sehari-hari. Hasil penelitian Fitzgerald & Smith (2016) memaparkan bahwa ketika pemahaman guru tentang tujuan pendidikan IPA lebih luas dari pada perolehan pengetahuan maka mereka cenderung melihat bahwa IPA adalah tentang gagasan, inovasi, dan tindakan, yang tertanam dalam konteks sehari-hari. Konteks ini memberikan kesempatan yang kaya untuk mengeksplorasi IPA sebagai usaha manusia kolaboratif yang dinamis yang timbul dari rasa ingin tahu dan ketertarikan terhadap fenomena yang diidentifikasi dalam kehidupan seharihari.…”

This study aims to describe the utilization of Smart Tree Photosynthesis media in science learning in grade V primary school. This research begins from the low learning outcomes of students of class V SDN 11 Air Kalam in science learning with abstract materials. The reason for teachers using more abstract material because the school did not have the appropriate media for learning these materials. Students were uninterested, less motivated, and the learning process did not provide a meaningful experience to students. So the learning outcomes did not reach the specified target. In the early study of science learning with photosynthesis material, only 5 of 33 students who achieve mastery of 70%. The author makes three-dimensional media Smart Tree Photosynthesis as one solution to solve the problem. Based on the results of reflection on two cycles, it can be seen that there was a better activity of student learning outcomes. The grade average value reached 85.76 after the evaluation. So, it can be concluded that the utilization of three dimensions of Smart Tree Photosynthesis media in science learning with the material of making food on green plants is able to improve student learning outcomes, and the lesson presented by the teacher is more meaningful for the students.
