PENINGKATAN KUALITAS PEMBELAJARAN DI SEKOLAH DASAR TERINTEGRASI BUDAYA DAN TEKNOLOGI: HASIL MINI RISET

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the improvement of learning quality in elementary schools through the integration of local culture and digital technology. The study employed a mixed methods approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The research subjects were 34 fifth-grade students of SDN 060883 Medan Petisah. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, student engagement questionnaires, observations, and interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test and effect size calculation, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes (p < 0.01) with an effect size of 2.15 (very large category). In addition, student engagement increased by approximately 30% in terms of participation, interest, and learning interaction. Qualitative findings revealed that the integration of local culture facilitated students’ understanding of concepts through relevant contexts, while digital technology enhanced interactivity and learning motivation. This study concludes that the systematic integration of culture and technology is able to comprehensively improve learning quality, both in cognitive and affective aspects. The contribution of this study lies in strengthening the Culturally Integrated Digital Learning (CIDL) approach as a development of the TPACK framework in the context of elementary education.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran di sekolah dasar melalui integrasi budaya lokal dan teknologi digital. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dengan desain quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest. Subjek penelitian adalah 34 siswa kelas V SDN 060883 Medan Petisah. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes hasil belajar, angket keterlibatan siswa, observasi, dan wawancara. Analisis data kuantitatif menggunakan uji paired sample t-test dan perhitungan effect size, sedangkan data kualitatif dianalisis secara tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan signifikan pada hasil belajar siswa (p < 0,01) dengan nilai effect size sebesar 2,15 (kategori sangat besar). Selain itu, keterlibatan siswa meningkat sebesar ±30% pada aspek partisipasi, minat, dan interaksi pembelajaran. Temuan kualitatif mengungkap bahwa integrasi budaya lokal mempermudah pemahaman konsep melalui konteks yang relevan, sementara teknologi digital meningkatkan interaktivitas dan motivasi belajar. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa integrasi budaya dan teknologi secara sistematis mampu meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran secara komprehensif, baik dari aspek kognitif maupun afektif. Kontribusi penelitian ini terletak pada penguatan pendekatan Culturally Integrated Digital Learning (CIDL) sebagai pengembangan dari kerangka TPACK dalam konteks pendidikan dasar.
