Abstract

Critical thinking is one of the most essential skills to be developed in 21st-century education. However, many classroom activities still rely on conventional methods that fail to actively engage students. This study aimed to investigate the effect of integrating the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model with Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) on junior high school students’ critical thinking skills in the topics of ecology and biodiversity. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design was employed. The research subjects consisted of two eighth-grade classes at SMP Negeri 35 Padang: one class implemented the PBL-SSI model as the experimental group, while the other used conventional learning as the control group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and analyzed using the t-test. The results showed that before the intervention, students in both groups had comparable levels of critical thinking skills. However, after the intervention, the experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement (tcount = 7.234 > ttable = 2.005). Improvements were evident across six indicators of critical thinking, including information analysis, drawing conclusions, and evaluation. These findings indicate that the PBL-SSI model effectively enhances students’ critical thinking skills through meaningful, contextual, and applicable learning experiences. By incorporating real-life issues, this model encourages active student participation in discussion, problem-solving, and decision-making, thereby making the learning process more engaging and meaningful.

Abstract

This research is based on the preliminary study conducted at SMPN 16 Padang which found that students' learning outcomes in science teaching are still considered suboptimal. This is indicated by several students' scores that have not yet met the Learning Outcome Completion Criteria of 80. This research aims to determine the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by PhET simulations on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students at SMPN 16 Padang. The type of research is a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study is all the eighth-grade students of SMPN 16 Padang. Sample collection was conducted using purposive sampling techniques. Thus, the research samples were obtained from students in class VIII 2 and VIII 4. The research samples consisted of experimental class applying the Problem-Based Learning model assisted by PhET simulations and control class using the conventional learning model. Data collection was conducted through tests administered before (pretest) and after the treatment (posttest) on the experimental and control classes in the form of multiple-choice questions. The obtained data were analyzed using inferential statistical analysis, and the results of the two-sample t-test for the pre-test and N-gain were 0.002 for the pre-test significance and 0.000 for the N-Gain significance, which means  was rejected or there was a significant difference between the two groups because the significance value (p) was less than 0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence of the application of the PBL learning model assisted by PhET simulations on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students in the subject of light and optical instruments.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in science learning outcomes between groups of students who participated in learning with the Reading to Learn (R2L) model and direct learning, by analyzing the literacy skills of class IX students at Junior High School in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra. The study population was all students of class IX and the sample class was selected by purposive sampling technique, so that class IX-6 was obtained as the experimental group and class IX-4 as the control group, with a sample of 56 students. This research is a quasi-experimental research with a pretest and posttest group design pattern. The data collected is a test of learning outcomes which are analyzed quantitatively to measure students' scientific literacy skills which are grouped into 3 aspects, namely numerical, conceptual, and multidimensional aspects. The instrument used is a scientific literacy test in the form of 10 description questions. The results show that the research hypothesis H1 is accepted because the table shows that t count > t table. This hypothesis test found that the application of the Reading to Learn (R2L) approach had an effect on students' scientific literacy skills. While the results of the experimental group N-Gain was 0.44 or 44% in the medium category (less effective). So we look at some of the factors causing it by giving questionnaires to students. Based on statistical calculations, the scores for each indicator in the questionnaire are 87.5% of students using local languages in daily conversation, reading time of 10-30 minutes is 46.88%, and courses or tutoring outside school hours are 28.13%.

Abstract

The education of the natural sciences is closely linked to environmental issues. One of the most accurate models used is the problem-learning model. This study aims to look at the impact of a problem-based learning model. With a contextual approach to the competence of high school students, this research is an experimental study using a non-equivalent group design. Based on statistical analysis of the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective aspects of the students, it is known that the data is distributed normally but homogeneously. Then the hypothesis was tested using an independent t test, with the result of the H0 hypotheses rejected. It is understandable that a problem-based learning model with a contextual approach has a significant influence on the competence of high school students. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that to enhance student competence, the teacher plays an important role in implementing problem-based learning as it can improve learning outcomes in various aspects, including cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Then one of the recommended models is problem-based learning (PBL) with a context-based approach.
