Abstract

Low cognitive learning outcomes among students in Madrasah Aliyah continue to be a challenge for meaningful learning in biology. This study aimed to enhance the cognitive learning outcomes of Grade X students at MAN 1 Pamekasan by applying the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. This classroom action research employed the Kemmis and McTaggart model and was conducted in two cycles in one Grade X class at MAN 1 Pamekasan; each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research instruments were essay and short-answer tests covering cognitive domains C1 to C4. The results showed an increase in the students’ mean score from 72.8 in Cycle I to 81.7 in Cycle II. The percentage of learning mastery increased from 82.6% to 87.0%. A paired-sample t-test indicated a statistically significant improvement (t(22) = 2.64, p = 0.008) with a medium effect size (d = 0.549). These findings indicate that the PBL model is effective for improving students’ cognitive learning outcomes in Biology learning in madrasah aliyah.

Abstract

Drawing conclusions and predicting outcomes are essential inferential reading skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. However, many students experience difficulties in applying these strategies due to low self-confidence, reliance on explicit information, and limited experience with inferential reading tasks. This study investigates the challenges faced by EFL students in drawing conclusions and making predictions during reading comprehension activities. A qualitative case study design was employed involving 30 second-semester university students enrolled in an Inferential Reading course at Universitas Islam Madura. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and inferential reading tasks, and were analyzed thematically using triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings reveal that students tend to avoid inferential reasoning because of fear of making mistakes, insufficient instructional modeling, and limited vocabulary knowledge. As a result, students rely heavily on literal comprehension and demonstrate passive engagement with texts. This study suggests that explicit instruction in inferential strategies, supportive classroom environments, collaborative reading activities, and formative assessments focusing on reasoning processes can enhance students’ confidence and inferential reading abilities. These findings provide pedagogical implications for improving reading instruction in EFL classrooms.
