Abstract

This study aims to examine the necessity of virtual reality (VR)-based learning media for teaching Earth and Solar System content at the junior high school level. The central issue addressed is the development of innovative educational tools that incorporate VR technology to facilitate the learning of abstract scientific concepts. A quantitative approach employing a survey method was utilized, involving 80 seventh-grade students from SMP Negeri 4 Pekanbaru. Participants were selected through convenience sampling based on availability. Data were gathered using an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms over a two-week period and analyzed descriptively. Findings revealed that 56% of students experienced difficulties in comprehending Earth and Solar System material due to its abstract nature. Furthermore, 92% expressed a strong need for learning media capable of transforming abstract content into concrete visual representations to enhance conceptual understanding. These results underscore a significant demand for VR-based instructional media in science education, particularly in topics requiring high levels of visualization. The study implies that integrating virtual reality into the classroom could effectively address existing learning barriers, increase student engagement, and support the development of a deeper understanding of scientific phenomena through immersive technological experiences.Keywords: learning media, earth, solar system, virtual reality,

Abstract

Fase remaja merupakan fase yang rentan terhadap resiko kesehatan karena didalam fase remaja, terjadi perkembangan tubuh yang pesat sehingga diperlukan sumber gizi yang cukup. Akan tetapi, kebutuhan gizi yang cukup tersebut sering diabaikan oleh para remaja sehingga akan tampak beberapa masalah  kesehatan yang ditimbulkan seperti kejadian anemia pada remaja. Kebisaan merokok juga sering kali dilakukan oleh remaja, dimana perilaku tersebut dapat membahayakan diri sendiri dan juga orang lain. Hal tersebut dilakukan karena tingkat pengetahuan dan kepedulian remaja mengenai kesehahatan masih lumayan minim. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan juga kesadaran siswa MTs Sudirman Jimbaran tentang anemia dan bahaya merokok. Metode yang digunakan meliputi penyuluhan dengan menggunakan media power point, leaflet  dan dilakukan tahap evaluasi berupa tanya jawab dan juga postest. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman yang singnifikan dan diharapkan dapat menjadi langkah awal bagi siswa/i untuk peduli dengan kesehatan diri.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between VARK learning styles (Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic) and student learning outcomes in the Instructional Media course within the Home Economics Education Program at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Semarang. Understanding diverse learning styles is essential to supporting effective instruction; however, mismatches between students’ preferences and teaching approaches are frequently observed. A quantitative survey design was employed, in which students’ learning styles were identified using the VARK questionnaire, while final course grades were obtained through academic records. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation and the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results indicated no statistically significant correlation between learning styles and learning outcomes (ρ = 0.018; p = 0.916), and no significant differences in outcomes across learning style groups (H = 1.585; p = 0.663). Despite the lack of statistical significance, descriptive analysis revealed that students with multimodal learning preferences tended to achieve higher average scores than their unimodal peers. These findings suggest the pedagogical value of accommodating diverse learning styles, particularly through flexible and multimodal instructional strategies.
