Social Studies Learning With Visualization, Auditory, Kinesthetic (VAK) Learning Model Assisted by Diorama Media Increases Student Knowledge Competence

Abstract

The low students’ competency of IPS (social science) is caused by the not optimal application of creative and innovative learning models and lack of learning media use. This research is aimed to analyze the impact of visualization, auditory, kinesthetic (VAK) learning model assisted with a diorama on social studies competency of elementary school students. It is quantitative research with the experimental design of quasi-experiment and non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The population in this research are 275 grade IV students. Samples were taken with a random sampling technique, resulted in two classes. Class IV numbering 39 students were treated with VAK learning model assisted with diorama, and class IV numbering 37 students treated with conventional teaching and learning. Data were obtained by a common multiple-choice test and were then analyzed using polled variants t-test. It resulted the t count = 6,762 at 5% significance level with 39+37-2= 74 and t table = 1,993. Based on test criteria t count =6,726> t table =1,993. It leads to a conclusion that there is a significant influence of the VAK learning model aided with diorama media on IPS competency of grade IV students.

The Effectiveness of Vak Models With Multimedia to Improve Social Science Learning Achievement

“…The research approach used was classroom action research (CAR) which was carried out collaboratively with class teachers, in which the class teacher acted as the implementer of the action and the researcher was the observer assisted by peers. According to Mulyasa, CAR is a series of activities that contain the process of observing the teaching and learning of a group of students by bringing up a deliberate action by the teacher as a process of improvement and improving the quality of teaching and learning [6].…”

“…The data obtained in this study will be tested for validity by using triangulation techniques. Triangulation is a method used to obtain accurate and reliable information using various methods so that researchers are not wrong in making decisions [6]. The triangulation used was source triangulation and technique triangulation.…”

“…The VAK model is a learning model that optimizes three learning modalities, namely learning by remembering (visualization), learning by listening (auditory), and learning by motion or emotion (kinestethic) [6]. The steps for implementing the VAK model are The VAK model facilitates students by giving students the freedom to use learning styles according to the characteristics of different students.…”

“…Mahmudah argues that multimedia comes from Latin, namely multi and media. Multi means a lot, while the media is an intermediary or something that is used to convey or carry something [6].…”

“…Pembelajaran merupakan suatu proses interaksi antarpeserta didik, yaitu antara peserta didik dengan guru dan sumber belajar juga interaksi antarpeserta didik pada suatu lingkungan belajar (Nurohmah & Dewi, 2021;Santhi et al, 2020). Dalam proses pembelajaran, guru memiliki peran yang sangat penting untuk mengembangkan dan meningkatkan kemampuan dan kualitas pendidik dalam melaksanakan proses pembelajaran dengan menerapkan pendekatan atau strategi pembelajaran yang berpusat pada peserta didik (Pitaloka et al, 2021;Wijayanti & Fauziah, 2020).…”
