Abstract

This research aims to enhance student learning activation through the use of group discussion methods. Based on data analysis and discussion of the research findings, it can be concluded that group discussions are crucial for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning to make it more effective and active. The problem in this study is how the implementation of discussion and Q&A learning methods, using visual media, can improve the learning activity and enthusiasm of fifth-grade students in PAI at SD Lembur Sawah, Cicantayan District, during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The objective of this research is to increase the learning activity and enthusiasm of these fifth-grade PAI students. Using a case study research type with a qualitative approach, data was obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. Based on the research, PAI learning at SMP Negeri 3 Jombang runs smoothly, with good student grades and consistent implementation of religious programs. However, the exploration of audio-visual media in PAI learning faces obstacles due to limited facilities, necessitating the development of material visualization and adjustments to students' learning characteristics. This classroom action research consists of two cycles, with each cycle comprising the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques employed observation. The data collection tool used was an instrument in the form of an observation sheet for students during the learning process. The results of this research indicate that in Cycle I, student learning activity and enthusiasm, reflected in a fairly active learning process, were already quite good. This is evident from the data: out of 46 students, there was an increase of 10.5%, from 56.7% in the low category to 67.2%, placing them in the moderately active category for learning. Based on these data, it can be concluded that the use of discussion methods, group work, and visual media can enhance student activity and enthusiasm in learning.

Abstract

One solution is to use bioplastics, which can replace synthetic plastics that are difficult to decompose. Starch is one of the materials used in the manufacture of bioplastics because it is naturally degradable. However, bioplastics made from starch tend to be brittle and easily damaged, so additional materials are needed to overcome this problem. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one of the materials used in the manufacture of bioplastics because it has properties that can be degraded naturally, is non-toxic, and is able to form good quality plastic films. This study aims to examine the effect of PVA concentration and stirring time on the mechanical properties of biodegradable plastic derived from kepok banana peels. This study used a completely randomized design with three variations of PVA concentration (3%, 4%, and 5%) and three variations of stirring time (25 minutes, 35 minutes, and 45 minutes). The results showed that at a PVA concentration of 5% with a stirring time of 45 minutes, bioplastics showed the best quality with a tensile strength value of 2.25 MPa, the best elongation at break was 416%, and the best elasticity was 0.541. In biodegradation, all samples were completely degraded within 7 days. It can be included that the addition of PVA concentration and the length of stirring effecth the mechanical properties of bioplastics but not on the biodegradation test.
