Abstract

Communication and collaboration are widely recognized as core competencies within the framework of 21st-century skills, requiring systematic assessment to ensure their effective development in educational settings. However, the availability of empirically validated instruments specifically designed to measure these competencies remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and psychometric quality of observation instruments developed to assess students’ communication and collaboration skills. A descriptive research design employing a quantitative approach was implemented, focusing on validity and reliability testing. The communication skills instrument consisted of 11 items, while the collaboration skills instrument comprised 27 items. The instruments were administered to 136 students. Item validity was examined using Pearson’s product moment correlation analysis at a significance level of a = 0.05 (r-table = 0.1672). Reliability testing was conducted using Cronbach’s Alpha to determine internal consistency. The results revealed that all 11 items of the communication skills and 20 items of the collaboration skills instrument were confirmed as valid. The reliability analysis demonstrated high internal consistency, with Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients of 0.913 for the communication instrument and 0.951 for the collaboration instrument, both categorized as very high reliability. These findings indicate that the developed instruments possess strong psychometric properties and are suitable for use in assessing students’ communication and collaboration competencies. The study contributes to the provision of validated observational tools that support objective evaluation practices. Future research is recommended to refine the invalid items and extend validation procedures across diverse educational contexts to enhance generalizability and robustness.

Abstract

Integrating NOS into digital media is important for understanding abstract biological concepts and promoting scientific literacy. This study aimed to develop a Powtoon-based learning video integrated with the Nature of Science (NOS) on cell material for eighth-grade junior high school students and to determine the validity of the developed product. Previous research has developed Powtoon-based learning videos, but the integration of NOS into cell-related learning media remains limited. Therefore, this study offers a novel approach by developing NOS-integrated Powtoon videos to aid understanding of abstract cell concepts. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach adapted from the ADDIE model, focusing on the analysis, design, and development stages. In the analysis stage, data were collected through teacher interviews, preliminary questionnaires, a literature review, and curriculum and content analyses using checklist sheets. Students' needs and characteristics were also identified through questionnaires. During development, the product was evaluated through expert validation by material and media experts using Likert-scale instruments. The data were analyzed quantitatively to determine validity levels and qualitatively based on feedback and suggestions from validators. Quantitative data were analyzed using percentage feasibility analysis based on expert validation scores, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively through validator input and suggestions. Results showed that the developed learning video achieved material validity of 92.96% and media validity of 95.80%, both of which were categorized as very valid. The novelty of this study lies in integrating the NOS approach into a Powtoon-based animated video to support students' understanding of abstract biological concepts. Developed media can help teachers present cell material more visually and support students’ understanding of microscopic concepts and scientific processes. In conclusion, the developed media is considered valid and feasible at the development stage. Further research is recommended to examine its effectiveness in classroom implementation.

Abstract

Stunting merupakan permasalahan gizi kronis yang masih terjadi di berbagai wilayah Indonesia, termasuk Desa Pengujan, Kabupaten Bintan. Rendahnya pemahaman ibu rumah tangga mengenai gizi seimbang, serta keterbatasan keterampilan dalam memanfaatkan potensi lokal, khususnya hasil perikanan, menjadi faktor penyebab belum optimalnya upaya pencegahan stunting. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan perempuan pesisir dalam memanfaatkan potensi lokal sebagai sumber pangan bergizi melalui sosialisasi, pelatihan, serta pendampingan. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi koordinasi mitra, sosialisasi tentang stunting dan gizi seimbang, pelatihan diversifikasi produk olahan ikan mempinang (Lethrinus nebulosus), serta penerapan teknologi sederhana seperti chopper, kukusan, dan vacuum sealer. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan mitra dengan rata-rata kenaikan sebesar 10,76% berdasarkan hasil pre-test dan post-test. Peningkatan tertinggi terdapat pada topik peran keluarga dalam pencegahan stunting (30,43%). Selain itu, keterampilan mitra dalam mengolah ikan menjadi produk bernilai gizi seperti nugget, rolade, dan fish roll juga meningkat signifikan yaitu rata-rata sebesar 59,6%, terutama pada aspek teknik pengolahan dan penyimpanan produk. Penerapan teknologi hard (chopper, kukusan dan vacuum sealer), dan soft (modul pelatihan, edukasi gizi, sanitasi pangan dan pendampingan diversifikasi produk olahan ikan) terbukti relevan, mudah diadopsi, dan meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat dalam proses pengolahan pangan lokal. Secara keseluruhan, program ini memberikan dampak positif terhadap peningkatan kapasitas perempuan pesisir sebagai agen perubahan dalam pencegahan stunting, serta berpotensi mendorong terbentuknya usaha rumah tangga berbasis olahan ikan lokal.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze students’ creativity, collaboration, and communication skills in science learning using a descriptive, correlational, and cluster analysis approach. This study used a non-experimental quantitative design involving 109 junior high school students in Tanjungpinang City. Data were collected using essay tests to measure creativity and observation sheets to assess collaboration and communication skills. Descriptive analysis, Spearman rank correlation, and K-means cluster analysis were used to analyze the data. The results showed that students' creativity and communication skills were generally in the moderate category, while collaboration had a relatively higher average score. Correlation analysis revealed no significant relationship between creativity, collaboration, and communication skills, suggesting that these three skills may not necessarily develop simultaneously across students in the present sample. Furthermore, the cluster analysis identifies three possible student profiles based on similarities in student skills, reflecting varying skill combinations and heterogeneity. These results indicate that the 21st-century skills development in science learning remains fragmented and requires more integrated learning strategies. This study provides benefits in designing learning environments where students' skills measured in this study are developed through adaptive and effective learning.
