Abstract

The low scientific literacy of students needs to be improved through the teaching materials used in learning. Teaching materials can be combined with various learning models including Ethno-STEM. The research aims to develop and test the feasibility of a module on vibrations and waves material in empowering science literacy ability of class VII students. The type of research carried out is development research using the 4D method including the define, design and develop stages. In this article, the research stage is written only up to the development stage. In the define stage, an analysis of gaps occurring in the field is carried out to define what is needed in the development process. In the design stage, the researcher prepares a product design according to the needs that have been summarized in the define stage. In the development stage, researchers began to develop modules according to needs and then carried out feasibility tests. Validation was carried out on aspects of material, media, language and learning. The overall module validation results obtained were 0.91 with valid criteria. Therefore, it can be concluded that the vibrations and waves module is effective to improve students' science literacy ability

Abstract

The low level of student engagement and collaboration in group-based science learning, particularly on the abstract topic of ecosystems, underlies this study. Preliminary observations at three junior high schools in Majenang District, Indonesia revealed limited use of interactive learning media that supports collaboration among students, consistent with data showing that 75% of students had not reached the Minimum Mastery Criteria (MMC) on ecosystem material. This study aims to develop the Jenga Collaboration with Combo Cards learning media and to examine its feasibility and effectiveness. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), limited to the Develop stage. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, user-trial questionnaires, and pretest-posttest instruments, then analyzed through product validation, reliability testing, item difficulty and discriminating power analysis, statistical testing, and N-Gain analysis. The results show that the learning media was rated Highly Feasible based on Expert Judgement, with feasibility percentages of 84.44% (media expert), 85.45% (content expert), and 85.83% (instructional design expert). The Paired Samples T-Test yielded t = -9.377 with Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant effect between students' pretest (mean 44.29) and posttest (mean 70.00) scores. The mean N-Gain obtained was 0.47, categorized as Medium. These findings demonstrate that the Jenga Collaboration with Combo Cards learning media is feasible and effective for improving students' learning outcomes on ecosystem material in Grade VII.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with STEM on students’ collaboration and problem-solving skills. It employed a quasi-experimental method using a pretest-posttest control group design. The population included all seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Plupuh in the 2024/2025 academic year. The sample was selected through cluster random sampling, with Class VII C designated as the experimental group and Class VII D as the control group. Data were collected through tests, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed using an independent t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The analysis revealed that the STEM-integrated PBL model had a significant effect on students’ problem-solving skills, with a significance value of 0.028 (< 0.05), because this learning provides a holistic, real, collaborative learning experience and encourages higher-level thinking. While the collaboration skills showed a significance value of 0.011 (< 0.05) because the learning process emphasizes group work in solving real problems, thus encouraging interaction, shared responsibility, productive communication, and positive interdependence between group members. These findings indicate there is an effect of implementing Problem Based Learning (PBL) integrated with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) on students’ collaboration and problem-solving skill. Problem Based Learning (PBL) integrated STEM allows students to broaden their horizons, discuss and collaborate in problem solving, encourage students to refine their knowledge through discussion, communicate in groups and respect each other when there are differences of opinion, critically assess group processes and work, provide feedback, and agree on the best solution, which directly improves various aspects of collaboration and develops competencies to address the complex challenges of their future.

Abstract

The influence of globalization and modernization has made the condition of local wisdom in Indonesia very concerning. Preserving local wisdom can be through education, one of which is science learning. In addition, the basic skill that students must have to achieve 21st-century skills is spatial thinking skills. The research aims to identify scientific knowledge in the process of making batik mangrove as local wisdom in Kutawaru, Cilacap and analyze the potential of scientific knowledge in the process of making batik mangrove Kutawaru to empower spatial thinking skills. This research is a qualitative research, by using purposive sampling techniques. Data was collected using interviews, observation, and documentation. Data validity was tested using the triangulation technique. Data analysis for this research was conducted interactively through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusion. This study contributes to ethnoscience by identifying the transformation of local knowledge in the production of batik mangrove Kutawaru into scientific knowledge that can improve spatial thinking skills in science learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the ethnoscience-based Think Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS) model using aromatherapy incense in improving students’ written communication skills on elements, compounds, and mixtures. This study employed a quasiexperimental method with a pretest–posttest nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of class VIII A as the experimental group and class VIII B as the control group at SMP N 6 Surakarta, selected using cluster random sampling. The research instrument was an experimental report assessment rubric that had undergone content validity testing. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, an Independent Sample t-test, and effect size analysis. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The experimental class achieved higher written communication skills than the control class, with a large effect size (d = 0.747). Improvements were observed in effective introduction, main objectives and ideas, report clear, structured and coherent, appropriate technical language, and grammar. It can be concluded that the ethnoscience-based TAPPS model effectively improves students’ written communication skills.
