Abstract

This research is motivated by efforts to increase capacity, especially in learning science through increasing rational thinking skills. One learning model that can be used to improve students' rational thinking skills is a blended learning model based on constructive feedback. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of constructive feedback based blended learning models on students' rational thinking abilities on science subjects excretory system material. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design using pre-test and post-test. The population of this research is VIII grade students of SMPN 4 Ponorogo. As a sample, class VIII-G was randomly selected as the experimental class and class VIII-F as the control class. Data analysis used t-test with the help of SPSS 23 software. The results of the analysis showed that the students' rational thinking ability data were normally distributed and had a homogeneous distribution. T-test results show that H0 is rejected, so it can be concluded that the rational thinking skills of students in the experimental class are better than students in the control class. This shows that the blended learning model based on constructive feedback is effective in improving students' rational thinking skills.

Abstract

This research originated from a phenomenon that shows the low ability of students to think logically. This study aims to provide solutions to improve students' logical thinking skills by using discovery learning with truth or dare techniques. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest. The data were collected using a pre-test and post-test of students' logical thinking skills. The population in this study were students of class VII SMPN 5 Ponorogo. Those who were randomly selected as samples were class VII-F as the experimental class and class VII-I as the control class. Furthermore, data analysis was performed using the t-test. The results showed that the effectiveness of the discovery learning model of truth or dare learning technique with conventional learning has a significant difference. The ability to think logically between students who use the Discovery Learning learning model truth or dare technique is higher than the logical thinking skills of students who use conventional learning. The use of this learning model provides the opportunity for students to find concepts related to the material independently. As a result, students can hone and optimize their logical thinking skills to solve the problems they face during the learning process.

Abstract

The ability to think contextually has an important role in everyday life, with the ability to think contextually high will support the useful value of science in real life. However, in reality, many students are classified as lacking in contextual thinking skills. Because of this, the researchers compiled electronic teaching materials based on Smart Application Creator (SAC) which presented interesting and contextual teaching materials on Vibrations and Waves with the hope of improving students' contextual thinking skills. The method used by researchers is R&D through 4 stages, namely define, design, develop and disseminate. Data collection through questionnaires and tests, then carried out descriptive quantitative analysis. The final results of the study are: 1) the teaching materials prepared by the researcher are suitable for use both in terms of material (97.395%) and from the aspect of media assessment (100%). 2) The teaching materials that are arranged have a practicality level of 100% with a very practical conclusion to use. 3) Teaching materials prepared by researchers are effective in improving students' contextual thinking skills. Because there is an average difference between the pretest and posttest learning outcomes, the average posttest score is higher. 4) The teaching materials prepared by the researchers were very interesting (88.83%). So that overall it can be concluded that smart application creator (SAC) based electronic teaching materials are feasible to use.

Abstract

The rational thinking abilities of students require development through effective learning strategies. This study investigates the effectiveness of a STEM-based Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing students' rational thinking abilities, with consideration for gender differences. This research uses a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental design. Data analysis involved the application of Two-Way ANOVA and Scheffe tests utilizing SPSS software. Participants consisted of Class VII students from MTs Ma'arif Balong Ponorogo. The findings indicate the following: (1) the initial rational thinking abilities of the experimental and control groups were comparable; (2) the STEM-based PBL model demonstrated superior effectiveness in improving students' rational thinking skills when compared to conventional learning methods; (3) no significant disparity in rational thinking abilities were observed between male and female students; (4) an interaction effect between the learning model and gender was detected, influencing students' rational thinking abilities. Specifically, female students displayed superior rational thinking abilities when exposed to the STEM-based PBL model. Conversely, no gender-based discrepancy in rational thinking abilities was observed among students utilizing the conventional model. These findings underscore the potential of the STEM-based PBL model as an alternative approach to foster students' rational thinking abilities.

Abstract

Science learning requires a complex thinking process that must be developed in it. Logical thinking skills are needed in science learning because it helps students understand scientific concepts systematically and rationally. One of the learning media that can be used to improve logical thinking skills is Articulate Storyline which is integrated with Socio-Scientific Issues. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. The data collection was carried out by expert validation, student questionnaires, and tests. The research subjects were students of class VII G State Islamic Junior High School 2 Ponorogo (MTsN 2 Ponorogo). The data obtained were analyzed for validity using the Aiken Index. Meanwhile, the questionnaire was analyzed using the average percentage and the test data was analyzed using the T-test and N-Gain. Based on the results of the research that has been obtained, the Aiken Index value is 0.95 with very valid validity. The practicality obtained a percentage of 83% with an increase in pretest and post test results for each indicator. Thus, this study shows that this media is effective in improving students' logical thinking. For further research, it is recommended to develop similar media applied to other topics and levels.
