Abstract

This study was a classroom action research. It was aimed to explain whether Project Based Learning can improve students’ ability in writing descriptive text and step of Project Based Learning which improved the students’ ability to write descriptive text at grade X of SMAN 1 Bengkulu Selatan in the 2015/2016 academic year. The subjects of this study were 35 students, consisted of 10 females and 25 males. The instruments of this study were writing tests, students’ observation checklists, teacher’s observation checklist, and  interview.  The  study  was  conducted in  two  cycles  which  included  plan, action, observation, and reflection. The evaluation test was administered at the end of each cycle. Based on the result of the study, the improvement of students’ mean score in cycle1 and cycle 2 was significant. It was proven that the students’ mean score in cycle 1 that70.45 increased into 80.31 in cycle 2. To conclude, Project Based Learning was effective to improve students’ ability to write descriptive text and also step 4 of Project BasedLearning approach; monitor the students and the progress of the project became the best step which improved the students’ ability to write descriptive text at grade X SMAN IBengkulu Selatan. To suggest, English teachers can apply Project Based Learning approach as one of the alternative ways to improve students’ writing ability and to improve students’ academic achievement.

Abstract

Referring to the results of an international survey, one of which is PISA, the achievements of Indonesian students are still below the global average score. The main problem that is the causative factor is that students need to be used to solving similar problems. The issues used in PISA questions are familiar to only some students in Indonesia. This study aimed to develop PISA model mathematical problems with valid and reliable local contexts and potential impacts. The type of research conducted is development research using the ADDIE model with the stages of analysis, design, development, and evaluation. The test subjects were fifth-grade elementary school students in Bengkulu and South Sumatra provinces. The research instruments were product development validity sheets, legibility sheets, and student response questionnaires. Data analysis consisted of validity analysis using the Aiken Index and reliability with Cronbach Alpha. The study results show that PISA model mathematical questions with the regional context meet the validity, reliability, and potential impact criteria. The results of the implementation test showed that 11 students (27.50%) were in the low category, 32 students (55.00%), and 7 students (17.50%) were in the high category.

Abstract

Background of the Study: The incorporation of technology in education has become increasingly vital in the digital age, especially to augment student interest and engagement in physics, a discipline frequently regarded as challenging and uninspiring.Purpose and Scope of the Paper: This community service program seeks to utilize Kahoot! as an interactive digital learning platform to enhance student engagement in physics education at Senior High School 6 (SMAN 6) Bengkulu Tengah.Methods: We implemented the activities using a participatory method, including direct instruction for teachers and interactive Kahoot! sessions with students. The activity encompassed socialization, demonstrations, and practical applications in the educational context.Results: The findings demonstrated that both educators and learners reacted favorably to the implementation of Kahoot! resulting in heightened student’ engagement and a more vibrant classroom environment. Students exhibited enthusiasm, a competitive disposition, and enhanced concentration throughout physics learning sessions.Conclusions: Kahoot! serves as an exciting and effective alternative learning platform that promotes active engagement and improves comprehension of physics subjects. It offers educators a pragmatic instrument to enhance pedagogical approaches in accordance with the traits of the digital generation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the trends in scientific publications and the direction of research on the implementation of Physics Education Technology (PhET) simulations in physics education during the 2014–2024 period. A bibliometric approach was employed by analyzing 22 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Publication data were collected through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP), exported in Research Information System (RIS) format, and analyzed using VOSviewer to map keyword co-occurrence, publication trends, and research clusters. The bibliometric analysis was complemented by content analysis to identify the research focus and main findings of each article. The results indicate a positive development in publications on PhET implementation over the last decade, with research predominantly focusing on the effectiveness of PhET in improving conceptual understanding, learning outcomes, learning motivation, and student engagement in physics learning. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that studies integrating PhET with innovative learning models and other digital technologies remain limited, indicating opportunities for future research. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for researchers and educators in developing more innovative technology-based physics learning that aligns with the demands of 21st-century education

Abstract

The Independent Curriculum was launched to improve the flexibility and quality of learning, including in physics, which emphasizes students' analytical skills. This study aims to examine publication patterns, implementation methods, and obstacles to implementing the Independent Curriculum in high school physics. The methodology employed included a systematic literature review, PRISMA analysis, and bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer. The study's findings indicate a significant increase in publications since 2022, with an emphasis on project-based learning, formative assessment, and strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile. The curriculum's implementation has been proven to improve conceptual understanding, motivation, and student independence, but it faces challenges related to teacher readiness, facilities, and adaptation of teaching materials. In conclusion, the Independent Curriculum has had a positive impact but requires support in the form of training, adequate facilities, and ongoing guidance. Consequently, efforts are needed to improve teacher competency and develop teaching tools to make physics learning more effective and align with the established curriculum targets
