Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the factors that cause dropping out of school in Jepara Regency.The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Collecting data using questionnaires, in-depth interviews, documentation, and FGDs related to the causes of dropping out of school. The research respondents consisted of school dropouts, parents, and teachers from 14 sub-districts in Jepara Regency. qualitative descriptive research procedures in a naturalistic manner. The data source was selected by purposive sampling as a sample determination. Primary data was obtained in verbal form, the words revealed based on filling out a questionnaire related to the research topic. Research instruments in the form of open and closed questionnaires are used to reveal the factors that cause children to drop out of school. This research was conducted through four stages, namely orientation, exploration, member check and reporting stage. Data collection techniques used questionnaires, in-depth interviews, documentation and FGDs related to the factors that cause children to drop out of school. Data analysis was carried out through triangulation, both source and technique triangulation.The results of the study found that the internal conditions of individuals, such as motivation and external factors from family and environment were the main factors in the dropout rate. If the child is not motivated, is not supported by the family, and is not supported by the environment, the chances of students dropping out of school will be higher. In this case, when schools have tried to persuade children to attend school but without internal motivation and support from parents, the chances of children dropping out of school are still great.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to develop Powtoon-assisted learning media to improve critical thinking skills among eighth-grade science subjects at Junior High School 1 BPR Ranau Tengah. Methodology: This qualitative study uses Powtoon software to design instructional media. Data were collected using interview guides, observation sheets, and documentation. Miles and Huberman's interactive model was applied to the data analysis. Primary data were collected through field interviews and classroom observations; Secondary data is obtained from books, journals, and online sources. Main Findings: Powtoon-assisted learning media significantly increased student engagement, understanding, and motivation in science learning. Students exhibit better critical thinking skills, especially in analyzing, evaluating, and articulating ideas logically. Teachers reported increased student participation and enthusiasm. Despite technical challenges such as internet access and device limitations, the overall response to Powtoon media was positive and indicated a significant improvement in learning effectiveness. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study introduces Powtoon as an innovative tool specifically applied to enhance critical thinking in science at the junior high school level. Unlike previous research that focused on general understanding or motivation, this study highlights Powtoon's role in developing high-level thinking. It contributes to the practice of digital education by bridging animation-based media with the development of cognitive skills.
