Abstract

The present study discusses the effect of the realistic mathematics education learning model on the mathematics learning outcomes of grade II students of State Elementary School 173472 Sijarango, Pakkat District, Humbang Hasundutan in the academic year 2023/2024. The independent variable is the realistic mathematics education learning model (X) and the dependent variable is the students' mathematics learning outcomes (Y). The research method used is an experimental method with a quantitative research type and the number of research samples was 27 students based on the purposive sample technique. The data for the realistic mathematics education learning model was obtained from a questionnaire distributed to students and the students' mathematics learning outcomes were obtained from the students' Pretest and Posttest scores in the academic year 2023/2024. The students' mathematics learning outcomes show that the average score of class II Pretest students is 58.51 while the average Posttest score is 88.33. Furthermore, the results of the hypothesis testing show that the t_count is 4.570 while the t_table is 2.052. It is proven that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Through the t-test, it can be concluded that there is a significant positive influence between the realistic mathematics education learning model on the mathematics learning outcomes of class II students.

Abstract

The study presents the use of interactive digital books that are focused on project-based learning to boost the motivation of students to learn. One of the required subjects for students enrolled in the English education study program at the Catholic University of Saint Thomas Medan is teaching English as a foreign language. The following issues were discovered during observations conducted in the class of 2020 students enrolled in the English Education Study Program at the Catholic University of Saint Thomas Medan. Students are completing courses on teaching English as a foreign language. Low student motivation for learning is demonstrated by the student's inability to comprehend the lecturer's explanations of the material. Their laziness comes from studying and reluctance to read the material they have acquired. And their boredom comes from listening to the lecturer explain the material. Using digital books is one strategy professors can employ to boost student motivation for learning. Students are required to have the motivation or drive to complete learning activities in higher education in order to meet their desired learning objectives, thanks to the digital book. Descriptive qualitative research is what this study was. A questionnaire was used as the data collection method, and 32 students responded to it. The usage of interactive digital books based on Project Based Learning (PjBL) has been shown to boost student learning motivation, according to the study's findings. 96.37% of the results are extremely high.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of applying the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy on students’ reading comprehension of descriptive texts among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 32 Medan. The research was motivated by observations that students struggled with reading comprehension due to monotonous teaching methods that lacked student engagement. Using an experimental design, the study involved two groups: the experimental group was taught using the TPS strategy, while the control group received conventional instruction. Both groups completed a pre-test and post-test comprising multiple-choice questions focused on descriptive texts. The results revealed a significant improvement in the reading comprehension scores of students in the experimental group. The mean score of the experimental group increased from 48.5 in the pre-test to 78.625 in the post-test, whereas the control group showed only a slight improvement, from 56.25 to 58.75. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test confirmed the effectiveness of the TPS strategy in enhancing students’ reading comprehension. These findings suggest that the TPS strategy is a beneficial approach for improving student engagement and comprehension in reading, particularly for descriptive texts.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of gamification, particularly using the Kahoot platform, in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition among seventh-grade students at SMPN 31 Medan during the 2024/2025 academic year. Vocabulary mastery plays a crucial role in supporting the four English language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, traditional vocabulary instruction methods often fail to engage students and result in limited retention. This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test design to compare learning outcomes between an experimental group exposed to gamified vocabulary instruction and a control group taught through conventional methods. The findings indicate a significant improvement in the vocabulary acquisition of students taught using gamification. The experimental group achieved a mean gain score of 68.22, notably higher than the control group’s 49.97. Statistical analysis using an independent samples t-test revealed a t-count of 4.41, exceeding the critical t-value of 2.00, confirming the significance of the results. Moreover, the experimental group demonstrated more consistent progress, as reflected in the lower variance of their gain scores.
