Abstract

Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are necessary skills in the 21st century learning. However, the initial tests of students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills showed low scores. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to improve students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills through the POGIL (Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning) model combined with a digital mind map based on online learning.  This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method following the design of Kemmis & McTaggart, which consists of 4 stages, namely planning, implementing the action, observing, and reflecting. The stages of the POGIL model consist of orientation, exploration, concept formation combined with making digital mind maps, applications, and closings. The research subjects were students of class XI MIPA 4 of SMAN 2 Malang, totalling 28 students which consisted of twenty girls and eight boys. The percentage of critical thinking skills achievement increased by 29.61% from 66.87% in the first cycle to 86.67% in the second cycle. Problem-solving skills increased by 22.16% from 70.27% in the first cycle to 85.84% in the second cycle. The results showed that the POGIL model combined with a digital mind map based on online learning could improve students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Abstract

Making lesson plans is still difficult for some teachers. The lesson plan has too many components, so it takes a long time to design one learning activity. Lesson plan one sheet is the solution to this problem. However, there are still teachers who do not understand how to make a one-sheet lesson plan that suits the needs of students.  The purpose of this service activity is to increase the teacher's understanding of the one-sheet lesson plan, so that the teacher can increase the effectiveness of his learning. Therefore, a workshop on making lesson plans was held for Islamic Elementary School teachers in Baki District, Sukoharjo, at Islamic Elementary School 4 Sukoharjo. Previously, a needs analysis was carried out for Islamic Elementary School teachers in Baki District, Sukoharjo. The survey results show that teachers have not consistently made lesson plans. Teachers also have not adapted them to student needs and are only used as administrative requirements in the learning process, so that lesson plans do not have much impact on helping teachers. However, the teacher knows that making lesson plans is the teacher's obligation and feels not burdened. After attending the workshop, the teacher began understanding the independent learning curriculum and designing a one-sheet lesson plan based on student needs. Islamic Elementary School teachers in Baki District, Sukoharjo, feel that a one-sheet lesson plan is more efficient than a regular lesson plan. Through the one-sheet Lesson plan, it is hoped that teachers will be more effective in preparing student learning activities and focus more on the learning process and evaluation to improve the quality of their learning.

Abstract

External factors are thought to have a relationship with internal factors in the learning process of secondary students. However, there is still little research conducted to determine the relationship between the two factors. This research was conducted to determine the relationship between external factors and internal factors in online learning for high school students. Data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to high school students using the snowball technique. Data was collected from June 2021 to July 2021, and 513 responses were obtained. The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of this study indicate that gender has a relationship with independent learning, environmental management, and student task strategies. The student's school level is related to learning readiness, learning control, and student learning motivation. Gadget ownership status is correlated with students' self-directed learning. While the type of internet access has nothing to do with any factor. This research will help determine the conditions and development of students during online learning. In addition, various parties can use it to improve the quality of online learning among children.

Abstract

This article discusses the views of preservice biology teachers regarding the factors that dominate their motivation for innovative learning. A total of 152 preservice biology teachers were involved in this study. A correlation test was conducted to determine the relationship between curriculum design, school design, and class design with motivation to implement innovative learning. Data was collected using a questionnaire. The study results show that curriculum, school, and class design are collectively related to the motivation of preservice biology teachers to carry out innovative learning. Based on further analysis, the curriculum design factors significantly contributed to this relationship, while school and classroom design did not contribute significantly to this relationship. These results show that good curriculum design will support implementing innovative learning in the classroom. We recommend some things related to curriculum, school, and class design, the essence of which is the need to seek advice from students and teachers when renovating or building a school. Technology integration is also an important thing to include in the design plan. The government and related parties can use the results of this study in designing their schools or classrooms.Abstrak.

Abstract

Technology development has changed students' characteristics and learning needs. As facilitators of student learning, teachers should be able to use learning technology effectively in their classrooms. This study aimed to examine teacher preferences in using learning technology and explore key factors for using learning technology. This study used a survey design conducted on biology teachers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A total of 47 biology teachers participated in this study. The survey was conducted to gather information regarding demographic data, the frequency of technology usage, and teachers' preferences in utilizing technology. The preferences for technology use encompass two main aspects: teachers' experiences with technology and their future expectations. The results indicate that teachers are more interested in using learning technology on conceptual materials. Teachers suggest the development of application-based biology learning media on cell phones or laptops. The main factor for teachers to use technology is that they have sufficient basic knowledge of the learning technology they will use. Teaching experience and frequency of using technology do not affect the teacher’s factor in choosing technology. The government and universities can use the results of this study as a basis for further development of learning technology. Shifts in learning patterns and technological advances need to get attention from the government so that teacher training programs, especially those related to learning technology, can be carried out appropriately and effectively.

Abstract

Background: Inquiry-based Biology learning requires adequate pedagogical support to foster the development of problem-solving skills and creativity among pre-service teachers. However, in the absence of structured guidance, students often experience difficulties in carrying out scientific inquiry processes. Integrating scaffolding within a STEM framework offers a promising approach to support more systematic and interdisciplinary learning. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the implementation of Scaffolding Inquiry-Based STEM and its association with students’ problem-solving skills and creativity in a Microbiology course. Methods: A mixed-methods approach with an embedded design was employed. The quantitative component used a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 15 students (n = 15), while qualitative data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation to enrich the interpretation of the findings. Results: The results indicate improvements in problem-solving skills, particularly in problem identification, strategy application, reasoning, and evaluation. In addition, students’ creativity showed enhancement across multiple dimensions, including curiosity, fluency, originality, flexibility, elaboration, and risk-taking. Conclusion: These findings suggest that Scaffolding Inquiry-Based STEM is associated with the development of key 21st-century competencies among pre-service biology teachers. However, the absence of a control group limits the extent to which causal inferences can be drawn. Despite this limitation, the approach demonstrates potential for fostering more structured and meaningful Biology learning in higher education contexts.
