The Impact of Using Problem-Based Learning (PBL) with Augmented Reality Flashcard on Elementary School Student's Scientific Literacy and Problem Solving Skill in Solar System

Abstract : This study aims to examine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with Augmented Reality (AR)-based flashcard media on the scientific literacy and problem-solving skills of elementary school students regarding the solar system. This quantitative research involved sixth-grade students at SDN Dabasah 3 Bondowoso, divided into an experimental class using PBL and AR flashcards and a control class using conventional methods. Data were collected through observations and essay tests. The results indicate a significant influence of the PBL model with AR flashcard media on both scientific literacy and problem-solving skills. This is evidenced by the thitung> ttabel values for both variables (3.764 > 2.026 for scientific literacy and 3.064 > 2.026 for problem-solving). Furthermore, the average problem-solving score for the experimental group is 82 was higher than that of the control group is 71.6. In conclusion, the integration of AR technology within the PBL model is effective in increasing student engagement, visualizing abstract concepts, and optimizing cognitive skills in elementary education.
