Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of the Socratic Method in improving Critical Thinking Skills. The Socratic Method, which focuses on in-depth and collaborative dialogic interactions between teachers and students, motivates students to be active in exploring, testing beliefs, and critically analyzing information. Various studies have shown that the application of this method, especially in mathematics education at the junior and senior high school levels, can significantly improve students' Critical Thinking Skills compared to traditional teaching methods. Findings from the study at SMPN showed that more than 75% of students were actively and effectively involved in the learning process, with a consistent increase in critical thinking scores in the aspects of clarification, investigation of assumptions, reasons, evidence, and reflection. The Socratic Method has also proven successful in improving students' ability to make decisions based on independent analysis and logical arguments, making it very relevant to be implemented in today's educational context that requires the development of high-level thinking skills. Other studies have also shown that the Socratic Dialogue approach has a significant success rate in improving students' Critical Thinking Skills. Thus, this approach is highly recommended for adoption in the educational process.

Abstract

Low literacy skills among junior high school students are a problem in geography learning, especially in relation to understanding symbols, scales, and orientation. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using the Seterra educational game based on Game-Based Learning in improving the map literacy of seventh-grade students at SMP Plus Miftahul Falah. The method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis & Taggart model with three cycles, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were obtained through map literacy tests and observation of learning activities. The results showed an increase in the average student score from 45 on the pretest to 60 in cycle I, 75 in cycle II, 82 in cycle III, and 87 on the posttest. Seterra-based learning also increased student motivation and activity during the learning process. Thus, Seterra proved to be effective as an interactive medium for improving map literacy and is recommended as an alternative to technology-based geography learning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine specialized laboratory facilities in elementary schools, focusing on their physical characteristics and components in supporting student learning.  The background of this study is based on the importance of a learning environment that is appropriate for the developmental stage of elementary school students, who are still in the concrete operational stage and therefore require learning experiences that are hands-on, contextual, and interactive. Emerging issues indicate that laboratory facilities in elementary schools are often not optimally designed, whether in terms of accessibility, simplicity, or visual appeal, and thus fail to sufficiently support student engagement in learning. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data were obtained from various academic sources such as books, scientific journals, and educational policy documents, and were then analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify key themes related to laboratory facilities. The results of the study indicate that elementary school laboratory facilities need to be accessible, simple, functional, visually appealing, and flexible. Supporting physical components include student work areas, open storage, educational displays, exploration corners, and adequate lighting and ventilation. Well-designed facilities contribute to students’ comfort and engagement in learning, thereby playing a crucial role in creating an effective and meaningful learning environment.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Social Studies (IPS) teaching strategies for developing social awareness among elementary school students based on research findings. This study employs a literature review (library research) using a descriptive qualitative approach. Research data were obtained from various scientific articles, national journals, and literature sources relevant to IPS learning strategies and the social awareness of elementary school students. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions regarding the findings of previous studies. The results of the study indicate that effective learning strategies for developing students’ social awareness include Project-Based Learning (PBL), cooperative learning, contextual learning, environment-based learning, group discussions, simulations, and role-playing. These strategies have been proven to enhance empathy, social concern, cooperation, responsibility, critical thinking skills, and students’ active participation in social life. Furthermore, teachers play a crucial role as facilitators in creating a participatory, collaborative, and contextual learning environment. Thus, social studies education serves not only as a means of knowledge transfer but also as a medium for character development and the cultivation of students’ social awareness. This study recommends that teachers optimize the use of active learning strategies.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve teachers' ability in developing teaching modules based on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) integrated with local wisdom as an implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. The approach used was direct mentoring through workshops and technical guidance involving 20 teachers at SMP Negeri 12 Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara. The implementation method included socialization of OBE and Merdeka Curriculum concepts, training in module development, and mentoring in local wisdom integration. Data were collected through pretest and posttest to measure improvements in teacher competency. The results showed a significant increase from an average pretest score of 70.15 to 85.05 in the posttest, with an average improvement of 14.90 points. These findings indicate that the mentoring program was effective in enhancing teachers' capacity to develop relevant, contextual, and culturally enriched teaching modules in the spirit of the Merdeka Curriculum.
