animated video

The integration of technology into elementary education has enabled teachers to design more engaging and interactive learning media. This study developed Canva-assisted interactive animated video media for teaching the water cycle in elementary integrated science and evaluated its validity and practicality. A Research and Development (R&D) approach was employed, utilizing the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Data collection involved expert validation questionnaires, student response questionnaires, and teacher response questionnaires. The media was assessed by two media experts and three subject-matter experts. Results showed that the interactive animated video media achieved validity scores of 95% from media experts and 94% from subject-matter experts, both categorized as very valid. During implementation, 30 fifth-grade students and one classroom teacher participated. Practicality evaluation indicated positive responses, with student and teacher response scores of 87% and 97%, respectively, both classified as very practical. These findings indicate that the developed media is user-friendly for both teachers and students, enhances students’ attention, enthusiasm, and active participation in classroom learning, and supports visualization of the abstract concept of the water cycle. Thus, Canva-assisted interactive animated video media constitutes a valid and practical learning resource for elementary integrated science instruction.

Conceptual understanding of fractions among third-grade elementary school students remains a challenge because the topic is abstract and teacher-centered instruction provides limited opportunities for students to study materials independently and actively. The initial condition in Grade III of SD Negeri 077279 Si’őfabanua showed that only 4 of 21 students (19%) achieved the school mastery criterion of 70, with a class average of 60. This study aimed to describe the implementation of an animated video-based flipped classroom and determine its improvement in students’ conceptual understanding of fractions. The study employed Classroom Action Research based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model and was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 21 third-grade students, consisting of 10 boys and 11 girls. Data were collected through conceptual understanding tests, teacher and student activity observations, student response questionnaires, and documentation. The data were analyzed descriptively using mean scores and learning mastery percentages. The results showed that the average score increased from 60 in the pre-cycle to 68 in Cycle I and 76 in Cycle II. Learning mastery increased from 19% in the pre-cycle to 57% in Cycle I and 86% in Cycle II. Teacher activity increased from 61% to 88%, while student activity increased from 69% to 82%. Student responses in Cycle II reached 86%, categorized as very positive. Therefore, the implementation of an animated video-based flipped classroom improved students’ conceptual understanding of fractions and encouraged more active participation in learning. ABSTRAK Pemahaman konsep pecahan pada siswa kelas III sekolah dasar masih menjadi permasalahan karena materi bersifat abstrak dan pembelajaran yang berpusat pada guru belum memberikan kesempatan yang cukup kepada siswa untuk mempelajari materi secara mandiri dan aktif. Kondisi awal di kelas III SD Negeri 077279 Si’őfabanua menunjukkan bahwa hanya 4 dari 21 siswa (19%) yang mencapai KKM 70 dengan nilai rata-rata kelas 60. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan flipped classroom berbasis video animasi dan mengetahui peningkatan pemahaman konsep materi pecahan siswa. Penelitian menggunakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas model Kemmis dan McTaggart yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus. Setiap siklus meliputi perencanaan, tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 21 siswa yang terdiri atas 10 laki-laki dan 11 perempuan. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes pemahaman konsep, observasi aktivitas guru dan siswa, angket respons siswa, serta dokumentasi. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif melalui rata-rata dan persentase ketuntasan belajar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata meningkat dari 60 pada pra-siklus menjadi 68 pada Siklus I dan 76 pada Siklus II. Ketuntasan belajar meningkat dari 19% pada pra-siklus menjadi 57% pada Siklus I dan 86% pada Siklus II. Aktivitas guru meningkat dari 61% menjadi 88%, sedangkan aktivitas siswa meningkat dari 69% menjadi 82%. Respons siswa pada Siklus II mencapai 86% dengan kategori sangat positif. Dengan demikian, penerapan flipped classroom berbasis video animasi dapat meningkatkan pemahaman konsep materi pecahan sekaligus mendorong keterlibatan siswa dalam pembelajaran.

Learning Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) not only aims to improve students' conceptual understanding but also to foster awareness of energy-saving behavior in everyday life. However, understanding the importance of energy conservation is not necessarily followed by consistent implementation of these behaviors. This study aims to describe the use of animated media in IPAS learning and its role in building energy-saving awareness among elementary school students. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method and was conducted at SDN Rambi Gundam 03 in September 2026, involving 30 fourth-grade students as observation subjects. Data were collected through learning observations and interviews with teachers. The results showed that students responded positively to the use of animated videos, characterized by enthusiasm and interest in participating in learning compared to learning that only relied on lecture methods. Students also began to understand simple actions to save energy, such as turning off lights when not in use. However, the implementation of energy-saving behaviors has not been consistent. These findings indicate that animated media has the potential to support IPAS learning about energy conservation, but it is not sufficient to prove its direct influence on changes in student behavior. Therefore, the use of animated media needs to be combined with habits and real-life activities so that students' understanding can be applied in everyday life.

Perioperative anxiety and emergence delirium are common clinical challenges in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy, which can compromise post-surgical recovery and caregiver satisfaction. This single-center, parallel-group randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of the nurse-led Interactive Multisensory Preoperative Orientation Program on perioperative outcomes in school-aged children aged 6–12 years undergoing elective adenotonsillectomy. Ninety children at a Grade III tertiary hospital in Anhui, China, were randomly assigned (1:1) to either a control group (n = 45) receiving standard perioperative care or an intervention group (n = 45) receiving the program in addition. Explicitly designed around Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory, our half-day intervention operationalized the four-stage experiential cycle through operating-room familiarization, interactive storybook debriefing, animated video discussion, and supervised procedural simulation with teach-back. The primary outcome was preoperative anxiety, measured via the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale–Short Form. Secondary outcomes were measured using the Induction Compliance Checklist, the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale, and the Parental Satisfaction Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t‑tests, Mann–Whitney U tests, and Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. Children in the intervention group demonstrated significantly lower preoperative anxiety scores, significantly improved anesthesia induction compliance, and a shorter duration of emergence delirium compared to the control group. Furthermore, parental satisfaction was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group. The Interactive Multisensory Preoperative Orientation Program significantly reduces preoperative anxiety and emergence delirium, improves induction compliance, and enhances caregiver satisfaction. Nurses can readily integrate this theory-based program into clinical practice after further testing with different samples. Future multicenter trials should incorporate mediation analyses, cost-effectiveness evaluations, and potential moderators, such as parental anxiety, to further clarify mechanistic pathways.

اضطراب پیرامون‌جراحی و هذیان بیداری از بیهوشی از چالش‌های بالینی شایع در کودکان تحت آدنو‌تونسیلکتومی هستند که می‌توانند بهبودی پس از جراحی و رضایت مراقبان را به خطر اندازند. این کارآزمایی تصادفی‌شده‌ی کنترل‌شده با طرح موازی و تک‌مرکزی، تأثیرات برنامه‌ی تعاملی چندحسی آشنایی پیش‌از‌عمل به رهبری پرستار را بر پیامدهای پیرامون‌جراحی در کودکان سن مدرسه (۶ تا ۱۲ سال) که تحت آدنو‌تونسیلکتومی انتخابی قرار گرفتند، ارزیابی کرد. نود کودک در یک بیمارستان درجه سه در آنهویی، چین، به طور تصادفی (۱:۱) به گروه کنترل (n = 45) که مراقبت استاندارد پیرامون‌جراحی دریافت کردند یا گروه مداخله (n = 45) که علاوه بر آن برنامه را دریافت کردند، تخصیص یافتند. مداخله‌ی نیم‌روزه‌ی ما که به طور صریح بر اساس نظریه‌ی یادگیری تجربی Kolb طراحی شده بود، چرخه‌ی چهارمرحله‌ای تجربه را از طریق آشنایی با اتاق عمل، بازخوانی تعاملی داستان مصور، بحث ویدئوی انیمیشنی و شبیه‌سازی فرایندی تحت نظارت با بازآموزی عملیاتی کرد. پیامد اصلی، اضطراب پیش‌از‌عمل بود که با استفاده از نسخه‌ی کوتاه‌شده‌ی مقیاس اضطراب پیش‌از‌عمل Yale اصلاح‌شده سنجیده شد. پیامدهای ثانویه با استفاده از چک‌لیست تبعیت از القای بیهوشی، مقیاس هذیان بیداری از بیهوشی کودکان و مقیاس رضایت والدین اندازه‌گیری شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از آمار توصیفی، آزمون t مستقل، آزمون Mann–Whitney U و آزمون کای‌دو یا آزمون دقیق فیشر تحلیل شدند. کودکان گروه مداخله به طور معناداری نمرات اضطراب پیش‌از‌عمل پایین‌تری، تبعیت بهبود‌یافته از القای بیهوشی و مدت زمان کوتاه‌تر هذیان بیداری از بیهوشی نسبت به گروه کنترل نشان دادند. همچنین، رضایت والدین در گروه مداخله به طور معناداری بالاتر از گروه کنترل بود. برنامه‌ی تعاملی چندحسی آشنایی پیش‌از‌عمل به طور معناداری اضطراب پیش‌از‌عمل و هذیان بیداری از بیهوشی را کاهش می‌دهد، تبعیت از القای بیهوشی را بهبود می‌بخشد و رضایت مراقبان را افزایش می‌دهد. پرستاران می‌توانند این برنامه‌ی مبتنی بر نظریه را پس از آزمون بیشتر با نمونه‌های مختلف به راحتی در عمل بالینی ادغام کنند. کارآزمایی‌های چندمرکزی آینده باید تحلیل‌های میانجی‌گری، ارزیابی‌های هزینه-اثربخشی و تعدیل‌گرهای بالقوه مانند اضطراب والدین را برای روشن‌تر شدن مسیرهای مکانیکی وارد کنند.
