Abstract

This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of fourth-grade elementary school students regarding the topic of nature and traditions. A quantitative approach was employed using an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study involved 20 fourth-grade students. Data collection techniques included learning outcome tests, observation sheets, and student response questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the level of learning success following the use of digital media-based instructional videos. The results indicate that the use of digital media-based instructional videos effectively improved student learning outcomes. The average learning outcome score reached 91.5%, falling into the "very good" category. Student scores ranged from a high of 95 to a low of 75, meaning all students met the mastery learning criteria. Questionnaire results showed a 93.2% average positive response rate regarding the use of the videos, also categorized as very good. The findings demonstrate that these instructional videos created a more engaging learning environment, increased student engagement, facilitated understanding of the nature and traditions topic, and elicited positive feedback from students. Thus, digital media-based instructional videos are suitable as an effective tool for enhancing learning outcomes, motivation, active participation, and understanding among fourth-grade students regarding the topic of nature and traditions.
