Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine whether the use of the Spotify app improves students' listening skills. A pre-experimental design was used in this research. The subjects were 35 tenth-grade students of SMAN 5 Banda Aceh. The researcher conducted a pre-test before the treatment and a post-test to assess the results of the treatment. These tests were used as instruments for data collection. Furthermore, the data were analyzed and interpreted using quantitative procedures with SPSS version 25. The results indicate that the mean score of the post-test is higher than the mean score of the pre-test: the mean score of the post-test was 82.86, while the mean score of the pre-test was 62.43. This shows a difference in students' listening comprehension of English songs and narrative podcasts before and after being taught using the Spotify application. Additionally, based on the statistical analysis using a T-test with SPSS version 25 for Windows, the result of Thitung was -12.116, which is higher than the Ttable value of 1.995469 (-12.116 > 1.995469). This indicates that there is a significant difference in listening comprehension scores before and after being taught with the Spotify application at SMAN 5 Banda Aceh. In conclusion, based on the results, the Spotify application is an effective tool for teaching listening comprehension to students at SMAN 5 Banda Aceh.

Abstract

The Low Critical Thinking Skills of Fourth Grade Students at SDIT Nurul Ishlah and the Lack of Effective Learning Media and Teaching Aids are the Background of This Research. The purpose of this research is to measure the validity, analyze the practicality, and determine the effectiveness of science teaching aids made from recycled materials in improving students' critical thinking skills. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The results of the research indicate that the science teaching aids made from recycled materials were assessed as highly valid, with a percentage of 95.56% from media experts and 97.78% from material experts. In terms of practicality, the teaching aids were considered very practical, with a 94% rating from teachers. The effectiveness test using the One Sample T-Test produced a p-value of 0.05, indicating that these teaching aids are effective in improving students' critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the N-Gain test showed a score of 72.42%, indicating a high level of improvement in students' critical thinking skills. Overall, the science teaching aids made from recycled materials have been proven to be highly valid, practical, and effective in supporting the learning process and enhancing students' critical thinking skills.
