Abstract

The increasing implementation of distance learning has highlighted the need for accessible and effective digital learning media that support students' independent learning. However, many students continue to experience difficulties due to limited internet access and challenges in understanding learning materials during online instruction. This study aimed to develop an Android-based science learning application on the topic of temperature and heat for seventh-grade junior high school students and to evaluate its validity and practicality. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Four-D (4D) model, consisting of the Define, Design, and Develop stages, while the Disseminate stage was not conducted. Data were collected using validity and practicality questionnaires. The developed application was evaluated by expert validators, teachers, and students. The results showed that the application achieved a validity score of 91.67%, categorized as very valid. In addition, the practicality scores were 83.75% from teachers and 86.75% from students, both classified as very practical. These findings indicate that the Android-based science learning application is a valid and practical instructional medium for supporting distance learning and facilitating independent learning on the topic of temperature and heat among junior high school students.

Abstract

ABSTRACT   Students' low learning outcomes in science are often associated with instructional approaches that provide limited opportunities for active participation and collaborative learning. The Team Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model has been widely recognized as an effective strategy for promoting student engagement and improving academic achievement. This study aimed to examine the effect of the TGT cooperative learning model on eighth-grade students' learning outcomes in the topic of light. A quasi-experimental research design employing a nonequivalent pretest–posttest control group design was used. The participants were selected through purposive sampling from seventh-grade classes at a public junior high school, with 25 students assigned to the experimental group and 25 students to the control group. Data were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test. The results revealed a statistically significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.022 < 0.05), indicating that students who learned through the TGT cooperative learning model achieved significantly better learning outcomes than those who received conventional instruction. These findings demonstrate that the TGT cooperative learning model is an effective instructional approach for improving eighth-grade students' learning outcomes in the topic of light.

Abstract

Learning in the 21st century requires students to be actively involved in learning activities. The 2013 curriculum also requires students to be actively involved during teaching and learning activities while the teacher acts as a facilitator. The 2013 curriculum also requires teachers to develop learning that integrates 4 important things, one of which is 21st century skills (4C skills). The character of the 4C skills is student centered (student centered learning), where students are required to be active in finding learning resources that can meet their learning needs. This study aims to determine the effect of the jigsaw cooperative model on the cognitive learning outcomes of class VIII students of SMPN 40 Padang. This research is a quasi-experimental research with a posttest only control group design. The results showed that the posttest average of the experimental class was 62.5 and that of the control class was 55.78. So it can be concluded that there is a significant influence of the jigsaw cooperative learning model on the cognitive learning outcomes of class VIII students of SMPN 40 Padang.

Abstract

Students' cognitive achievement and learning motivation are essential factors influencing success in science education. However, conventional teacher-centered instruction often provides limited opportunities for active participation, resulting in low cognitive learning outcomes and learning motivation. The Teams Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model is designed to promote active engagement, collaboration, and healthy competition among students. This study aimed to examine the effect of the TGT cooperative learning model on eighth-grade students' cognitive learning outcomes and science learning motivation. A quasi experimental research design employing a posttest-only control group design was used. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, with one class assigned as the experimental group receiving instruction through the TGT cooperative learning model and another class serving as the control group receiving conventional instruction. Data were collected using a cognitive achievement test and a science learning motivation questionnaire. The data were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test for cognitive learning outcomes and descriptive statistics for learning motivation. The results showed that the experimental group obtained a higher mean cognitive score (60.0) than the control group (51.2). Furthermore, the independent-samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). The results also demonstrated an increase in students' science learning motivation following the implementation of the TGT cooperative learning model. These findings indicate that the TGT cooperative learning model has a significant positive effect on students' cognitive learning outcomes and science learning motivation.

Abstract

Students' low learning outcomes in science are often associated with the use of monotonous instructional models, limited learning media, and insufficient student engagement, which reduce students' understanding of scientific concepts. The Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) learning model, supported by animated videos, offers a student-centered instructional approach that may enhance learning outcomes. This study aimed to examine the effect of the SSCS learning model assisted by animated videos on junior high school students' learning outcomes in the topic of the human excretory system. A quasi-experimental research design employing a nonequivalent control group design was used. The participants were selected through purposive sampling, with one class assigned as the experimental group and another as the control group. Data were collected using a validated multiple-choice test administered as both a pretest and a posttest. The data were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean posttest score (84.50) than the control group (63.00). Furthermore, the hypothesis test revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.019 < 0.05), indicating that the SSCS learning model assisted by animated videos significantly improved students' learning outcomes. Therefore, integrating the SSCS learning model with animated video media can be considered an effective instructional strategy for improving junior high school students' science learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) assisted by PhET simulation on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students at MTsN 6 Padang. A quasi-experimental design was used, involving an experimental group receiving PBL treatment and a control group following conventional learning methods. Data were collected through observation sheets and objective tests aligned with learning indicators on the topic of vibration, waves, and sound. The results showed that the experimental class achieved a significantly higher average posttest score (84) compared to the control class (70). The independent sample t-test analysis yielded a sig (2-tailed) of 0.000, less than the 0.05 significance level, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0). These findings indicate that PBL supported by PhET simulation significantly improves student learning outcomes. In addition, it increases student engagement and motivation in the learning process compared to traditional methods. This study concludes that the implementation of PBL with PhET simulation is an effective strategy to improve conceptual understanding and academic performance in physics education.

Abstract

Science education covers material related to the natural world, which consists of various scientific concepts that have been agreed upon by experts. If the diversity of concepts studied by students is not managed and directed appropriately by teachers, this has the potential to cause errors in understanding the correct concepts. To measure the level of students' understanding of concepts after studying a subject, teachers need to identify that understanding. This study aims to analyze students' misconceptions about vibration, waves, and light. The research method used is descriptive with a quantitative approach. The research population consists of 9th grade students in junior high school. The sampling technique used was cluster sampling with the criteria of public schools, accredited A, and the same teacher in each school; based on these criteria, the research sample consisted of 85 students. The research data was collected through 17 items of the Four-Level Test, which consisted of four levels: multiple-choice questions, confidence in answers, reasons for answers, and confidence in reasons for answers. The average misunderstanding experienced by students based on the learning objectives in the material on vibrations, waves, and light was classified as low, namely 8%. The highest misconception was found in the learning objective of applying the concept of vibration in everyday life, which was 47%. The lowest percentage of misconception, 14%, was found in the learning objective of classifying examples of waves. The results of this study can be used as a basis for educators to design learning that emphasizes strengthening conceptual understanding and clarifying misconceptions in the material on vibrations, waves, and light.

Abstract

The rapid development of technology requires teaching materials to continuously innovate, one of which is through the utilization of Augmented Reality (AR) technology. However, students’ understanding of the human digestive system, which is abstract in nature, remains relatively low due to the limited availability of teaching materials capable of visualizing the material concretely. This study aims to develop an AR-based Science E-Module on the Human Digestive System for eighth-grade junior high school students that is valid, practical, and effective. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4-D model, consisting of define, design, develop, and disseminate. However, the study was conducted only up to the limited dissemination stage due to constraints of time, cost, and resources. Data were collected through validity questionnaires, practicality questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test questions, which were then analyzed to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the E-Module. The results showed that the developed AR-based Science E-Module achieved a very valid category, with an average validity score of 98%. The practicality level based on the responses of teachers and students was also categorized as very practical, with an average score of 98% for each. Meanwhile, the effectiveness level was categorized as moderate, with an average N-Gain score of 0.70, equivalent to 70.47%, indicating a fairly effective category. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the AR-based Science E-Module on the Human Digestive System meets the criteria of being valid, practical, and fairly effective in improving students’ learning outcomes.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are an essential competency for students to face the demands of 21st-century learning. However, science instruction in schools tends to be teacher-centered, thus under-developing students' critical thinking skills. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Case-Based Learning (CBL) model on the critical thinking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 14 Padang on the human excretory system. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. The sample size was 62 students: class VIII.3 as the experimental class and class VIII.2 as the control class, selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of a critical thinking skills essay test, an observation sheet on learning implementation, and a student response questionnaire. Based on the results of the observation sheet on the implementation of the CBL model, the percentage of students' responses to the CBL model was 97%, categorized as very good. Furthermore, the results of the student response questionnaire to the CBL model were 85%, categorized as very good. The results of the hypothesis test using the t-test obtained a tcount > ttable value of 2.316 > 2.000 with a sample size of 31 students per class with α = 0.05. The results of the hypothesis are H0 rejected and Ha accepted, meaning there is an effect of the CBL model on the critical thinking skills of junior high school students in the respiratory and excretory system material.
