Efektivitas Metode Pembelajaran Learning Starts With A Question (Lsq) Berbantuan Media Audio Visual Terhadap Hasil Belajar Kognitif Siswa Pada Mata Pelajaran Ipas Kelas IV SDN 1 Lendang Belo

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Learning Starts With A Question (LSQ) learning method assisted by audio-visual media on the cognitive learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in IPAS at SDN 1 Lendang Belo. The study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted from 3 to 24 August 2026 with 23 fourth-grade students selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation. The instrument consisted of a 13-item multiple-choice test and an observation sheet. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, homogeneity test, and paired-samples t-test with SPSS 21. The mean score increased from 63.20 on the pretest to 64.88 on the posttest, an increase of 1.68 points. However, the paired-samples t-test produced a significance value of 0.661 (p > 0.05), with t = -0.445 and df = 22. Thus, the increase was not statistically significant. The findings indicate that the implementation of LSQ assisted by audio-visual media produced a small descriptive increase, but did not provide sufficient statistical evidence of a significant effect on students’ cognitive learning outcomes. The method needs to be implemented gradually and consistently, with appropriate guidance and audio-visual materials suited to students’ characteristics.
