Abstract

This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) aimed at improving students' interest in learning mathematics through the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model. The research subjects were 30 students from class XI Natural Science at Muhammadiyah Mlati High School (SMA Muhammadiyah Mlati) during the even semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. The study was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection was carried out through observations, interest in learning questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The study's results showed a significant improvement in students' interest in learning. The average score for students' interest in learning increased from 1.76 (very low category) in the initial stage to 2.42 (low category) in cycle I, and reached 3.62 (very high category) in cycle II. In addition, students' learning outcomes also showed a remarkable improvement, with the average initial score rising from 34.4 to 56.1 in cycle I, and reaching 74.1 in cycle II, indicating that most students had met the Minimum Completeness Criteria. The results of this study imply that the application of the CTL model can be an effective strategy to increase students' interest and learning outcomes in mathematics, while also providing a basis for teachers, schools, and policy makers in developing more meaningful and contextual learning.

Abstract

The implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) can be applied across various sectors in Indonesia, such as agriculture and healthcare, which demonstrate significant potential for utilizing this technology. To keep pace with technological trends, it is crucial to introduce the concept of IoT early in schools to spark students' interest in this field. This educational program aims to cultivate students' interest in IoT through presentations and live demonstrations using simple IoT-based tools. The event was held at Muhammadiyah Mlati Senior High School on July 27, 2024, involving 30 students. The method used was direct demonstrations of simple IoT tools, supported by effective communication between the educational team and the school. The results showed an improvement in students' understanding of the contextual use of IoT in daily life, with pre-test scores increasing from 53.5 to 78 in the post-test. In conclusion, this program successfully enhanced students' knowledge of IoT, and it is hoped that they will continue to understand its application in solving everyday problems while becoming more skilled in identifying issues and finding solutions using IoT-based technology in the future.

Abstract

Poetry writing competency in the Merdeka Curriculum is crucial in Indonesian language learning, but many students struggle to express creative ideas due to a lack of innovative teaching strategies. The acrostic technique, chosen for its clear structure and ability to stimulate imagination through keywords, was employed to address this challenge. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the acrostic technique in improving poetry writing skills among class VIII students at State Junior High School 3 Banguntapan. A quasi-experimental method with a Control Group Pre-test and Post-test Design was used, with two classes: the experimental class (40 students) using the acrostic technique and the control class (40 students) using conventional methods. Data were collected through tests and interviews. The findings reveal that the acrostic technique significantly improved students' writing skills compared to conventional methods, with a significance value of 0.000. This study contributes to the development of innovative teaching methods that enhance students' writing abilities in language and literature education.

Abstract

The current focus among educators is on assessments that promote higher-order thinking skills, enabling students to develop critical, analytical, and systematic thinking, especially in problem-solving, communication, and collaboration. Nonetheless, some teachers still struggle to create questions that effectively target these skills. This service initiative aims to educate 18 instructors from Muhammadiyah Mlati High School on crafting questions that address advanced cognitive abilities. Using a variety of methods, including lectures, interactive Q&A sessions, group discussions, and presentations, the results indicate that the training participants have successfully grasped the basic principles of designing questions for Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in education. After participating in four sessions, they have shown competence in categorizing and structuring questions that span Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS), Medium Order Thinking Skills (MOTS), and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).

Abstract

This research aims to increase interest in learning mathematics in class XI students at SMA Muhammadiyah Mlati in the even semester of the 2023/2024 academic year by implementing the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model. This research uses a classroom action research method with a qualitative approach, involving 30 students as research subjects. Data collection methods include observation, questionnaires, and tests. Observations were made to understand students' learning interests, while questionnaires and tests were used to assess mastery of the Matrix material and the effectiveness of learning using the CTL model. Data analysis includes observation analysis, questionnaire analysis, and learning evaluation. This research shows the results of an increase after implementing the CTL model in Matrix learning in class XI MIPA. By implementing the CTL model, students' interest in learning increased, as evidenced by the results of observations which showed an increase in scores from the initial stage, cycle I, to cycle II, with a score reaching 3.62 which was categorized as very high. Students' ability to understand Matrix material also increased to reach an average score of 78.27 in cycle II.
