Mathematics learning at the elementary school level has a crucial role in students' cognitive development. Although it is often perceived as a boring and difficult material, especially in understanding the concept of multiplication, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning model (PBL) combined with the P4 basket media in improving students' problem-solving skills, understanding of mathematical concepts, and cognitive thinking skills. This study uses a quasi-experimental design by involving grade III students at SDN Kanigoro 03 Blitar Regency as a control and experimental group. The purposive sampling method was applied to select 26 students from class IIIA as the control group and 26 students from class IIIB as the experimental group. The instruments used in this study include observation sheets to monitor the learning process and cognitive ability tests consisting of 25 questions, consisting of 15 multiple-choice questions and 10 short-fill questions. The results show that the application of the PBL model supported by the P4 basket media can improve students' learning outcomes in multiplication materials, improve their understanding of mathematical concepts, and improve analytical thinking skills. These findings indicate that PBL can be an effective approach in teaching mathematics at the primary school level.

Evaluation and assessment are an important part of teaching, aiming to measure students' understanding and monitor their progress in children's language learning. This study examines the purpose and function of evaluation carried out by teachers in monitoring student progress, especially in the context of the content structure and language vocabulary used by students in elementary schools. The method used is language content analysis, focusing on daily tasks involving the preparation of sentence structure and vocabulary selection. The subject of the research is grade V students at UPT SPF SD Inpres Tamalanrea 5 Makassar, with a qualitative approach. The results of the study show that evaluation plays a role not only in providing information about student progress, but also as a tool to improve the quality of learning and encourage students and teachers to continue to improve the learning process for better achievement of goals. The contribution of this research is to provide insight into how evaluation based on sentence structure analysis, vocabulary construction, and grammatical stimulates the improvement of students' language skills in elementary school, as well as provide a deeper understanding of how evaluation can be optimally integrated in learning activities to encourage the development of students' language skills.

Education as one of the fields that is also affected, adapts to the rapid advancement of technology, ranging from curriculum changes to the use of various learning resources and technology-based learning media. One of the innovations that has emerged is the use of Augmented Reality (AR) as a learning medium. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of AR in improving students' memory of learning materials. The method used in this study is the Kurl Lewin model action learning research method with a qualitative experimental approach that positions teachers to play an active role in implementing learning problem-solving interventions that occur in the learning of grade V students of SD Negeri Panjang Wetan 03 Pekalongan. The findings of this study show that AR media can facilitate students in understanding and remembering science material. In addition, AR is also effective in describing abstract concepts that are difficult to practice or observe directly. The implications of this research can be the basis for educators, policy makers, and learning media developers to implement AR technology more widely in the learning process, in order to improve the quality of education and enrich the learning experience of students.

The ethnoscience learning strategy is designed to develop students' ethnographic insight into scientific knowledge by combining modern science with traditional knowledge possessed by local communities or specific ethnic groups. As such, its implementation in elementary schools is highly relevant for developing students' appreciation of local wisdom values. The assessment of its effectiveness served as the primary basis for conducting this study, which was analyzed using a case study-based mixed-methods approach involving teachers and students from grades IV, V, and VI as a representation of the population at SDN 1 Nalu. The findings show that ethnoscience learning, based on strengthening local wisdom values, is highly effective in several ways: (1) increasing students' understanding of ethnoscience concepts; (2) improving students' critical thinking skills related to the development of local wisdom and scientific insights; (3) fostering the development of scientific attitudes; and (4) promoting the development of students' character in relation to local wisdom. The implications of these findings suggest that ethnoscience learning is an approach that stimulates the development of students' scientific concepts in connection with cultural heritage and the practice of local wisdom values in Tolitoli Regency, thereby increasing students' awareness of regional cultural heritage.
