The Influence of the Lecture Learning Methods on Student Learning Outcomes in Elementary School

Hilda Safitri, Ratri Nuryani Qudwatullathifah

This research aims to examine the influence of the lecture method in the learning process on elementary students' learning outcomes. Utilizing a quantitative approach with an ex-post facto design, the analysis employed simple linear regression. The research involved 40 fifth-grade students from an elementary school in Majalengka, West Java, selected randomly. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire. The analysis revealed that the lecture method had a weak and statistically insignificant correlation with student learning outcomes. The regression equation suggested a decline in learning scores as the frequency of using the lecture method increased, although this relationship lacked statistical significance. Thus, the lecture method is not a reliable predictor of learning achievement at the elementary level. The study highlights the limited effectiveness of lecture-based instruction in enhancing learning outcomes. As a result, it recommends the adoption of more interactive and student centered teaching strategies to improve student engagement and optimize learning effectiveness in elementary education. These findings suggest a need for innovation in pedagogical approaches, emphasizing the importance of adapting teaching methods to students’ learning characteristics and developmental stages to foster a more meaningful and effective educational experience.

This study aims to test the validity and reliability of social responsibility measurement instruments in secondary school students. A quantitative approach was used involving 248 students from various grade levels selected through purposive sampling techniques in several urban high schools. Data were collected using a structured Google Form-based questionnaire that was developed based on theoretical indicators of social responsibility. Content validity was evaluated by experts in educational psychology and social science, while construct validity was analyzed through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The analysis results showed a factor structure consistent with the dimensions of empathy, social involvement, accountability, and ethical behavior. Reliability tests using Cronbach's alpha coefficient showed high internal consistency across dimensions (α > 0.80). These findings indicate that the instrument has good validity and reliability and can be used for diagnostic and evaluative purposes in the context of character education. This study makes a significant contribution to the development of a measurement tool for adolescent social responsibility and supports efforts to build responsible young citizens.

The Influence of Peer Social Relations on Student Learning Outcomes in Collaborative Learning in Elementary School

Fitria Yuningsih

This study aims to empirically examine the influence of peer social relations on student learning outcomes in the context of collaborative learning at the elementary school level. This study uses a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression design. The research activity was carried out in April 2025 at one of the State Elementary Schools in the Cirebon Regency area, involving grade V students as respondents. The data collection technique was carried out through the distribution of a closed questionnaire consisting of four answer choices, designed to evaluate students' perceptions of social interaction with peers as well as the learning outcomes obtained. Based on the results of the classical assumption test, including the normality, linearity, and heteroscedasticity tests of the regression model that was constructed, it was eligible for further analysis. The results of data processing showed a positive correlation between the variables of peer social relations and learning outcomes, although the level of significance was slightly above the conventional limit. This indicates that support from the peer environment still contributes functionally to students' academic achievements. These findings reinforce the importance of integrating social aspects into learning strategies to create a collaborative learning climate and support the holistic development of learners in the primary school environment.
