Efforts to Enhance Students' Communication Skills and Academic Achievement in Learning the Volume of Cube and Beam Spaces through the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model Assisted by Heyzine FlipbooksI in Five Grade of Danasri 01 Public Elementary School

Abstract

Due to the low communication and learning achievements of fifth-grade students in Maple Mathematics at fifth grade of Danasri 01 public elementary school, this research was conducted. The purpose of this study is to improve students' communication and learning achievements using the PBL model assisted by Heyzine FlipbooksI media. Classroom action research was conducted in two cycles with four meetings. Twenty-one fifth-grade students, comprising 11 females and 10 males, participated in this study. Observation, interviews, and written notes were used as data collection techniques for this research. The action research model developed by Kemmis and McTaggart consists of one cycle with four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The results of this study indicate that communication skills and learning achievements have improved. The communication results in Cycle I were rated as satisfactory, while in Cycle II, there was an improvement in communication with a good rating. The learning achievements of students in Cycle II have met the institution's and curriculum's minimum passing criteria. The research shows that using the PBL model assisted by Heyzine FlipbooksI media can enhance students' communication and achievement in understanding and applying the concepts of volume in cubic and rectangular prisms in fifth-grade Mathematics at Danasri 01 Public Elementary School in the academic year 2022/2023.
