Application Of Active Learning Strategies In Fostering Cognitive And Psychomotor Competence Of Grade V Students In Science Subjects At Elementary School
Abstract
This study aims to examine the application of active learning strategies in improving the cognitive and psychomotor competencies of grade V students in science subjects at one of the elementary schools in Yogyakarta. The research used a qualitative approach with a case study method. The data collection technique was carried out through direct interviews with three informants, namely a school principal, a teacher, and a student. The research instruments included interview guidelines, voice recording devices, and field notes. The data analysis process was carried out interactively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The validity test of the data was carried out through source triangulation and technical triangulation. The results of the study showed that active learning strategies applied through group discussions, simple experiments, and simulations helped improve students' understanding of science concepts and their practical skills. In the cognitive aspect, it showed that students are able to better explain abstract concepts such as the water cycle and food chain. In the psychomotor aspect, the finding showed that students have improved ability to use simple measuring instruments, make observations, and record experimental results systematically. The findings also showed that learning becomes more interactive and fun, increasing students' enthusiasm for learning. Thus, the active learning strategy has proven to be effective in science learning at elementary school level, although it is necessary to adapt the method according to age characteristics and availability of infrastructure.
