Efektifitas Media Podcast Terhadap Hasil Belajar IPS Tema Keragaman Budaya Indonesia Pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar Kelas III di SD Muhammadiyah Kecamatan Taman

Abstract

General Background: Digital transformation in education necessitates innovative technological adaptation within primary school environments. Specific Background: Social studies instruction for third-grade students regarding Indonesian cultural diversity frequently relies on conventional methods, limiting student engagement and conceptual mastery. Knowledge Gap: Prior studies lack comprehensive exploration of monologue audio media tailored specifically to foster cultural comprehension among primary learners without depending on visual aids. Aims: This research evaluates the application of monologue audio media on social studies learning outcomes among third-grade students at SD Muhammadiyah Taman. Results: Pre-experimental evaluation reveals a substantial rise in mean scores from 46.29 to 86.86, supported by significant Wilcoxon analysis results and high N-Gain distributions alongside positive student responses. Novelty: The study introduces a contextual monologue audio resource focused explicitly on national cultural diversity for lower elementary levels. Implications: Educators can utilize structured audio narratives as a viable alternative strategy to elevate primary student achievement and active participation in social science topics.
