Abstract

This activity aims to optimize practicum-based science learning through the utilization of Science Kits (KIT IPA) at State Junior High School 8 Makassar. The problem faced by science teachers at the school was their limited experience in using Science Kits optimally, particularly the Optics Kit and the Electricity and Magnetism Kit, resulting in less effective practicum implementation. The training was conducted through a workshop approach consisting of kit usage demonstrations, hands-on practice, and assistance in developing experiment-based student worksheets (LKPD). The results of the activity showed an improvement in teachers’ understanding of the functions and procedures for using Science Kits, as well as an increase in science teachers’ ability to design practicum activities aligned with learning outcomes. In addition, participants applied the simple practicum modules developed during the training to be implemented in classroom learning. This activity contributed to improving the quality of science learning at State Junior High School 8 Makassar and strengthening teachers’ competencies in conducting active, contextual, and inquiry-based learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the development of Grade VII students’ conceptual understanding of science through the integration of Discovery Learning, Indonesia’s Deep Learning approach, and simple demonstrations. A Classroom Action Research design was conducted in three cycles consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The intervention involved all 34 students in Class VII I at SMP Negeri 33 Makassar, Indonesia. However, the primary longitudinal quantitative analysis was conducted using data from 20 students who completed all six research meetings. The remaining 14 students were excluded from the longitudinal analysis because their data were incomplete due to illness, school activities, or absences. Data were collected using a 10-item multiple-choice conceptual understanding test and classroom observation records, then analyzed through descriptive quantitative and qualitative procedures. The mean scores increased from 58.75 in Cycle I to 66.50 in Cycle II and 71.50 in Cycle III. Classical mastery improved from 10% to 20% and 25%, while achievement across conceptual understanding indicators increased from 61.96% to 72.32% and 78.93%. These findings indicate descriptive improvements in students’ conceptual understanding, however, the 85% mastery criterion was not achieved.
