Peningkatan Pemahaman Konsep Sumber Listrik melalui Pendidikan STEAM dengan Pendekatan AI-Assisted 4D Frame pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Abstrak

This study aims to enhance elementary school students' understanding of electrical source concepts through the application of the AI-Assisted 4D Frame approach in STEAM-based learning. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design. The subjects consisted of 30 fifth-grade students. The instrument used was a conceptual understanding test in the form of multiple-choice questions. The data analysis results, using a paired sample t-test, showed a significant increase between the pretest and posttest scores. The mean pretest score was 56.53, while the mean posttest score increased to 85.16, with a mean difference of 28.63. The statistical test yielded a t-value of -162.636 and a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that the difference was statistically significant. This demonstrates that the AI-Assisted 4D Frame approach effectively improves students' understanding of electrical source concepts. These findings suggest that integrating artificial intelligence-based technology into STEAM learning frameworks can be an innovative and effective teaching strategy. Further research is recommended to explore the application of this approach to other concepts in elementary education.
