Teaching Implementation Report: Audio Media to Improve Animal Sound Recognition in Third Grade Elementary School

Abstract

This teaching implementation report documents the implementation of digital audio media in learning animal sound recognition for third-grade elementary students. The initial problem was that students were passive and had difficulty identifying animals from sound cues when learning only used static images or textbook memorization. The strategy integrated short animal sound clips, an interactive guessing game, group discussion, LKPD, oral presentation, and exit-ticket assessment. The implementation was carried out in two meetings of 2 x 35 minutes with 28 students. Results showed that active participation in answering sound challenges increased from 40% at baseline to 82% in the second meeting, while accuracy in matching sounds with animal names increased from 55% to 89%. These findings indicate that focused audio media can sharpen auditory attention and create enjoyable formative assessment.
