Pengaruh Penerapan Pembelajaran Berdiferensiasi Dan Model Storytelling Terhadap Hasil Belajar Melalui Keterampilan Sosial Emosional Siswa Sekolah Dasar

This study analyzes the effect of differentiated instruction and the storytelling model on student learning outcomes through social-emotional skills in social studies learning for fourth-grade students at SDN 1 Kampungdalem. Using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method, this research explores the relationships between these variables. The results indicate that differentiated instruction and storytelling significantly influence students' social-emotional skills, which act as a mediator in improving learning outcomes. However, neither has a direct significant effect on learning outcomes. This suggests that strengthening social-emotional skills can be a key factor in enhancing students' academic achievement. These findings highlight the importance of instructional strategies that focus not only on academics but also on the development of social-emotional skills. Teachers are encouraged to optimize differentiated instruction and integrate storytelling with other methods. Schools are advised to provide teacher training and develop programs that support students' social-emotional skills. Future research can explore other factors influencing learning outcomes and adopt more in-depth research approaches.
