The Effect of The Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model with Tedido (Telinga Ding- Dong) Media on The Creativity and Science Learning Outcomes of Grade 5 Elementary School Students

Abstract : Science (IPA) learning in elementary schools still faces various challenges, particularly the low levels of students’ creativity and cognitive learning outcomes. This condition is influenced by learning practices that tend to be teacher-centered and lack the use of interactive learning media that actively engage students. Therefore, innovative learning models supported by appropriate media are needed to create meaningful and student-centered learning experiences. This study aims to examine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Ding-Dong (Tedido) media on the creativity and science learning outcomes of fifth-grade elementary school students. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group post-test only design. The participants were fifth-grade students of SDN Jember Lor 02, divided into an experimental class and a control class. The experimental class was taught using the PBL model assisted by Ding-Dong (Tedido) media, while the control class received conventional instruction. Research instruments consisted of a creativity test measuring fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration, as well as a cognitive learning outcome test in the form of multiple-choice questions. Data were analyzed using prerequisite tests and the independent samples t-test. The results showed that students in the experimental class achieved significantly higher creativity scores and science learning outcomes compared to those in the control class. The findings indicate that the integration of the PBL model with Ding-Dong (Tedido) media effectively promotes active learning, enhances students’ creative thinking, and improves their understanding of science concepts. Thus, the PBL model assisted by Ding-Dong (Tedido) media can be considered an effective alternative for improving creativity and learning outcomes in elementary science education.
