Examining the Negative Impact of TikTok Usage on Elementary Students' Learning Motivation

Lely Ika Mariyati — 2024-07-02

This correlational quantitative study investigates the impact of TikTok social media usage intensity on academic learning motivation among elementary school students. Using a sample of 80 students from grades 4, 5, and 6, selected through accidental sampling, the research employed TikTok usage intensity scales and an academic learning motivation scale based on self-determination theory. Data analysis with Pearson correlation in JASP software revealed a significant negative relationship between TikTok usage intensity and students' learning motivation, supporting the hypothesis. Recommendations include implementing social media regulations in educational settings and promoting awareness among students, parents, and educators about the potential adverse effects of excessive TikTok use. Future research could explore this topic further with more sophisticated methodologies to enhance understanding.

Highlight:

Quantitative approach reveals significant negative correlation.
Accidental sampling used for diverse grade representation.
Recommendations advocate media regulation for academic focus.

Faiqotul Maghfiroh — 2024-07-02

This study investigates the impact of the Children Learning In Science (CLIS) model on fifth graders' science concept understanding. Using a quantitative one-group pretest-posttest design, 24 students from SDN Jeruk Purut 1 Gempol were tested with essay questions. The paired sample t-test showed a significant improvement (Sig. 0.00 < 0.05) in science understanding after applying the CLIS model. The N-Gain test indicated a medium-level improvement with a mean score of 0.6513. These results demonstrate that the CLIS model effectively enhances students' science comprehension, suggesting its broader potential for science education.
Highlight:

Significant impact of CLIS on science concept understanding.
Medium category increase in science concept understanding.
Valid and reliable instruments confirmed by expert judgment.
