Abstract

Purpose - This study critically synthesizes research on the development of technology-based assessment instruments in secondary science education (junior and senior high school) through a structured Narrative Literature Review (NLR). This review therefore identifies instrument types, implementation contexts, research dimensions examined, and learning impacts, while highlighting gaps in equity, teacher readiness, and longitudinal outcomes.Methodology - Articles were systematically retrieved from Google Scholar and Mendeley within the 2015–2025 publication range using predefined keywords related to technology-based assessment and science learning. Inclusion criteria required peer-reviewed empirical studies focusing on secondary-level science and reporting instrument development or evaluation. Fourteen eligible articles were analyzed using structured content analysis, with emphasis on instrument characteristics, evidence of validity and reliability, implementation contexts, methodological approaches, and reported limitations.Findings - The synthesis indicates that research predominantly centers on Computer-Based Testing (CBT), Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT), gamified assessments, two-tier diagnostic tests, and LMS-based e-portfolios. Overall, these instruments demonstrate satisfactory validity and reliability and effectively measure higher-order thinking skills and conceptual understanding. They also enhance student motivation and accelerate feedback processes. However, most evidence is based on short-term, small-scale implementations, with limited attention to equity issues, teacher readiness, and sustained learning effects.Contribution - This review integrates psychometric, pedagogical, and technological perspectives into a coherent analytical framework for technology-based assessment in science education. It clarifies existing research gaps and underscores the need for broader contextual validation, stronger methodological rigor, and the integration of learning analytics to ensure sustainable and evidence-based digital assessment practices.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the basic concept of function limits in calculus and analyze their vital role as the main foundation in learning calculus. The research method employed is a literature review, analyzing various sources such as textbooks and scientific journal articles related to limit concepts, student misconceptions, and relevant pedagogical strategies. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively and descriptively to synthesize the relationship between the concept of limits, derivatives, and integrals. The results indicate that the limit is a fundamental concept that explains functional behavior and serves as the formal basis for defining derivatives as rates of change and integrals as area accumulation (Riemann sums). The study concludes that a strong conceptual understanding of limits is essential to avoid the dominance of mechanistic procedures and to help students master advanced calculus concepts systematically. It is suggested that calculus instruction should emphasize visual representation and mathematical interpretation, although this study is limited to a literature approach without empirical field data.

Abstract

Nyeri otot tertunda (Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness/DOMS) merupakan keluhan umum pasca aktivitas fisik intensif yang dapat mengganggu performa dan siklus latihan. Pendekatan topikal dengan bahan alam seperti minyak atsiri cengkeh (Syzygium aromaticum L.) menawarkan alternatif analgesik yang potensial dengan risiko efek samping sistemik minimal. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengetahui efektivitas sediaan topikal krim minyak atsiri cengkeh dalam menurunkan intensitas nyeri DOMS yang diukur dengan Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Penelitian ini menggunakan desain eksperimental semu dengan pretest-posttest control group design. Sebanyak 30 atlet pemula dibagi secara acak menjadi tiga kelompok: (1) kelompok intervensi (krim minyak atsiri cengkeh 10%), (2) kelompok kontrol positif (krim diklofenak 1%), dan (3) kelompok kontrol plasebo (basis krim). DOMS diinduksi dengan protokol lari menurun (downhill running) di treadmill (-10%, 30 menit, 70% denyut nadi maksimal). Intensitas nyeri diukur menggunakan VAS (0–10 cm) pada baseline, 24, 48, dan 72 jam pasca-latihan. Data dianalisis dengan ANOVA dua arah pengukuran berulang (Repeated Measures ANOVA) dan uji post-hoc Bonferroni. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan dalam skor VAS antar kelompok dan antar waktu pengukuran (p < 0,01). Skor VAS memuncak pada 48 jam pasca-latihan di semua kelompok. Kelompok plasebo menunjukkan skor tertinggi (7,2 ± 1,1), sedangkan kelompok minyak atsiri cengkeh (4,7 ± 0,9) dan kelompok diklofenak (4,5 ± 0,8) menunjukkan skor yang secara signifikan lebih rendah (p < 0,01). Tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok minyak atsiri cengkeh dan kelompok diklofenak pada semua titik pengukuran (p > 0,05). Kesimpulan penelitian adalah sediaan topikal krim minyak atsiri cengkeh 10% efektif menurunkan intensitas nyeri DOMS yang setara dengan diklofenak topikal 1% dan secara signifikan lebih efektif dibandingkan plasebo. Minyak atsiri cengkeh berpotensi sebagai alternatif fitofarmaka topikal yang aman dan efektif untuk penanganan nyeri pasca-latihan. Kata kunci: Krim minyak atsiri cengkeh, DOMS, nyeri otot, analgesik topikal, Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

Abstract

Low student retention of mathematical formulas is often a major obstacle to achieving optimal learning outcomes. This study aims to explore and synthesize various innovative strategies that can improve the ability to memorize and understand mathematical formulas through a comprehensive literature review. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 30 empirical scientific articles published in various reputable journal databases. Data analysis was performed using thematic synthesis techniques to classify various interventions into 10 main strategic pillars. The results of the study identified ten effective methods, namely: verbal mnemonic techniques (acronyms/acrostics), integration of music and songs, visualization through mind mapping, the loci method, optimization of concentration (eye-closing method), strengthening working memory, use of interactive digital media, application of retrieval practice, ethnomathematics approach, and metacognitive evaluation. The findings indicate that the use of mnemonics and audio-visual elements has the most significant impact in transforming abstract information into long-term memory. The conclusion of this study confirms that a varied and creative approach is essential to reduce students' cognitive load while increasing memory resilience towards mathematical concepts. ABSTRAK Rendahnya daya ingat atau retensi siswa terhadap rumus-rumus matematika seringkali menjadi hambatan utama dalam mencapai hasil belajar yang optimal.
