PENGARUH IMPLEMENTASI MEDIA AUDIO VISUAL TERHADAP PNINGKATAN PEMAHAMAN PESERTA DIDIK PADA PEMBELAJARAN IPAS DI SDN 01 JATIDATAR

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of implementing audiovisual media on improving students’ understanding in learning Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) at SDN 01 Jatidatar. The main issue addressed in this research is the lack of student understanding in IPAS learning, which motivated the researcher to apply audiovisual media to enhance students’ comprehension of the subject. The students' inability to grasp the lesson content effectively became a strong basis for the researcher to conduct this study—to explore how to improve students' understanding through an engaging learning process. This research employs a quantitative approach. Data collection techniques include comprehension tests in the form of pretests and posttests, interviews, and document analysis. The results of data analysis using statistical tests show a significant difference between the learning outcomes of the experimental group and the control group. The average posttest score of the experimental group is higher than that of the control group. This indicates that the use of audiovisual media has a positive effect on improving students’ understanding in IPAS learning. Therefore, audiovisual media can be used as an effective and innovative learning strategy at the elementary school level.
