Abstract

One critical factor in achieving optimal learning outcomes is using learning media to facilitate active student learning. Therefore, this study aims to examine the use of augmented reality (AR) interactive media in discovery learning to improve student learning processes and outcomes. The approach is qualitative, with a classroom action research type. The research subjects were 12th-grade IV students at MIN 26 North Aceh. This research was conducted in 2 cycles. Observation techniques, tests, and documentation obtained data. This study focuses on the learning process (student activities) and student learning outcomes. The results showed that the learning process (student activities) using interactive media in discovery learning in cycles I and II improved. In line with the improvement in the learning process, student learning outcomes also increased from having sufficient qualifications in cycle I to being well qualified in cycle II. This study concludes that using interactive media in inquiry learning can improve the process of student activities. The learning process becomes more lively because two-way communication is established, and students' active participation makes learning more meaningful and powerful. The learning syntax in discovery learning can facilitate students using interactive media because it can stimulate students to be active in learning. Students are encouraged to identify material in the media, and using interactive learning, discovery learning changes teacher-oriented learning to student-oriented learning. This positively impacts student learning outcomes, which increase as the learning process increases

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) model on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and psychomotor skills of students in acid-base material. The study was conducted in the odd semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. This study used a quasiexperimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class, with 34 students in each class. The data collection instruments used were chemistry HOTS test questions and psychomotor observation sheets. The results showed that the HOTS and psychomotor skills of students in the experimental class using the SSCS model were better than those in the control class using the Direct Instruction model. The hypothesis test using the F test showed that the sig value was 0.000 < 0.05, so H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted, indicating that the SSCS learning model had a simultaneous effect on students' HOTS and psychomotor skills. The implications of this study indicate that the SSCS model can be used as an alternative effective learning model to improve students' higher-order thinking skills and practical skills in chemistry learning, and can be applied to other materials that require analysis, problem solving, and laboratory activities.

Abstract

Local biodiversity has great potential to be integrated into biology learning; however, plant diversity data in the campus environment are often not systematically documented or transformed into concrete learning products. This study aimed to inventory local plant diversity in the campus environment of Universitas Malikussaleh, qualitatively identify its phytochemical constituents, and develop a contextual learning resource for biodiversity topics. This research employed a descriptive exploratory method through field surveys and qualitative laboratory tests. The samples consisted of 30 local plant species selected using purposive sampling based on availability, clarity of morphological characteristics, family and habitat variation, and potential use as contextual biology learning resources. Data were collected through observation, documentation, plant identification, and phytochemical screening for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The results showed that the 30 plant species belonged to 23 families, with Zingiberaceae as the most represented family. Phytochemical screening indicated that flavonoids were detected in 26 species (86.7%), followed by saponins in 16 species (53.3%), alkaloids in 15 species (50.0%), and tannins in 14 species (46.7%). Piper betle, Moringa oleifera, and Piper crocatum showed positive results for all four phytochemical groups. The findings were developed into a local plant booklet containing plant identity, family, habitat, phytochemical screening results, and learning activities. This study concludes that local plants in the campus environment can be used as contextual biology learning resources, particularly for biodiversity, plant morphology, secondary metabolites, and the use of local biological resources.
