Abstract

The critical thinking ability of seventh-grade students in class VII-I at SMPN 2 Samarang is still relatively low, especially in social studies learning. This is evident from the pre-cycle critical thinking ability test results, which were 43%. This may be due to the use of the lecture model in teaching, which does not actively involve students in the learning process. The Purpose of this research is to improve students' critical thinking skills in social studies learning by implementing the Problem-Based Learning model for class VII-I students at SMPN 2 Samarang. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted in two cycles with four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The data analysis technique involves comparing students' critical thinking abilities between the first and second cycles, illustrated by test results conducted at the end of each learning session.. The results of the Classroom Action Research (CAR) indicate that in the first cycle, students' critical thinking skills improved to 57% with an average score of 69,6. Furthermore, in the second cycle, the percentage of critical thinking ability increased to 86% with an average score of 80,4. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the Problem-Based Learning model can enhance students' critical thinking skills in social studies learning for class VII-I at SMPN 2 Samarang.

Abstract: Media Literacy and The Prevention of Fake News among Students. Objectives: The spread of hoax news among university students is a problem that needs attention with the increasing use of social media and easy access to information. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which media literacy skills influence media consumption habits, knowledge and awareness, skills and practices, attitudes and beliefs, as well as behavior and engagement in preventing hoax news among students of the Social Science Education IPI Garut. Methods: The research method used is a survey method. The approach taken is a correlational quantitative approach, which allows for measuring the strength of the relationships between these variables. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires online via Google Forms. A sample of 123 active students from the Social Science Education Program at IPI Garut participated as respondents in this study, selected using a proportional stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used was a questionnaire distributed to students online. The data were analyzed using SPSS. Findings: The results of the study show a significant relationship between media literacy skills and the prevention of hoax news among students. Conclusion: It was found that the correlation in media consumption habits at 0.297, which falls into the low category, in knowledge and awareness at 0.510, which falls into the medium category, in skills and practices at 0.523, which falls into the medium category, in attitudes and beliefs at 0.658, which falls into the strong category, and in behavior and engagement at 0.688, which falls into the strong category. Keywords: media literacy, preventing hoax news, students.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v14.i1.202443

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Word Square learning model in improving students’ conceptual understanding in social studies. The study was conducted in two cycles involving observation, documentation, and tests to measure changes in students’ performance and learning engagement. Findings indicate that the implementation of the Word Square model significantly enhanced students’ ability to interpret, exemplify, classify, summarize, compare, and draw conclusions regarding key social studies concepts. Students became more active and involved during group discussions, task completion, and reflection, showing increased motivation and focus. Learning outcomes also improved, as seen in the rise of average scores and mastery percentages across cycles. The Word Square model provided a learning experience that was enjoyable, challenging, and interactive, supporting students’ conceptual development through linguistic and visual engagement. However, several challenges emerged, such as varied student literacy skills, limited time allocation, and the complexity of preparing Word Square grids. These issues can be addressed through better planning, technological integration, and task-level adjustments. Overall, the Word Square model proved effective in strengthening conceptual understanding in social studies and is recommended as an alternative learning strategy. Future research may explore its application across different grade levels, materials, or in combination with other learning models to expand its pedagogical impact.
