Abstract

The development of students’ critical thinking skills has become a central objective in contemporary science education, yet conventional instructional approaches often fail to actively engage learners in higher-order cognitive processes. This study aims to examine the effects of Construct 2 game-based learning media and learning styles on junior high school students’ critical thinking skills. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a 2 × 3 factorial structure was employed, involving 67 seventh-grade students divided into an experimental group (Construct 2) and a control group (video-based learning). Data were collected using a validated critical thinking test and a learning style questionnaire, and analyzed using two-way ANOVA. The results revealed a significant main effect of learning media, with students in the game-based group achieving higher critical thinking scores than those in the video-based group. A significant effect of learning styles was also identified, indicating differences in critical thinking performance across visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. However, no significant interaction effect was found between learning media and learning styles. These findings suggest that interactive game-based learning provides a more effective approach to enhancing students’ critical thinking skills and can be applied consistently across diverse learner characteristics. The study contributes to the integration of educational technology and cognitive development by highlighting the role of interactive media in fostering higher-order thinking. Perbedaan Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis Siswa Sekolah Menengah Pertama Ditinjau dari Gaya Belajar Menggunakan Media Game Construct 2 pada Mata Pelajaran IPA Biologi ABSTRAK: Pengembangan keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa menjadi salah satu tujuan utama dalam pembelajaran sains modern, namun pendekatan pembelajaran konvensional sering kali belum mampu mendorong keterlibatan kognitif yang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh media pembelajaran berbasis game Construct 2 dan gaya belajar terhadap keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa sekolah menengah pertama. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain quasi-eksperimen dan rancangan faktorial 2 × 3 yang melibatkan 67 siswa kelas VII yang dibagi ke dalam kelompok eksperimen (Construct 2) dan kelompok kontrol (media video). Data dikumpulkan melalui tes berpikir kritis yang telah divalidasi serta angket gaya belajar, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan two-way ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh signifikan media pembelajaran, di mana siswa yang belajar menggunakan media berbasis game memperoleh skor berpikir kritis lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan siswa yang menggunakan media video. Selain itu, terdapat pengaruh signifikan gaya belajar terhadap keterampilan berpikir kritis, yang menunjukkan adanya perbedaan kemampuan berdasarkan karakteristik visual, auditori, dan kinestetik. Namun demikian, tidak ditemukan interaksi yang signifikan antara media pembelajaran dan gaya belajar. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis game yang interaktif lebih efektif dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis dan dapat diterapkan secara konsisten pada berbagai karakteristik siswa

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study aims to evaluate the interest of biology students in attending general education courses, specifically religious subjects, while exploring the impact of various factors such as gender, academic background, and extracurricular involvement. By doing so, it seeks to better understand how these factors influence students' engagement in interdisciplinary education. Methodology: The research adopts a mixed-methods approach. It begins with quantitative analysis, employing descriptive statistics to assess general interest levels, followed by qualitative validation through interviews with seven selected informants. The study population consists of 131 active biology students in the 2023/2024 academic year, with a final sample of 100 after data cleaning. The sampling method used was total sampling to ensure broad representation. Principal Findings: The findings reveal a variety of interest levels among biology students in religious subjects, with no significant differences based on gender, academic semester, high school major, or extracurricular involvement in religious activities or organizations. However, the school of origin emerged as a significant factor, indicating that students' previous educational experiences play a crucial role in shaping their engagement with religious subjects. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This research introduces a novel perspective by uncovering the influence of a student’s educational background specifically, their school origin on their interest in interdisciplinary religious education. It offers new insights into how prior schooling experiences contribute to shaping students’ academic and personal interests, particularly within the context of general education courses, thus providing valuable implications for curriculum design in higher education.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is about to find out how the society’s local wisdom of Lempur, Gunung Raya sub-district conserve water resources. Data and information were taken from interview and observation of river condition by observing its pH and transparency. This research adopts descriptive qualitative approach. The informants of this research were the leaders of custom Lekok Lima Puluh Tumbi Lempur and Village government of Lempur. The data were collected by taking the sample of river water quality, interview, and documentation. The data were analyzed by using interactive model concept proposed by Miles and Huberman (reduction, display, and verification). In general, the results of this research showed that local wisdom such as the customary law have not been implemented well yet. Based on the test of pollution parameter, it was found that the condition of waters did not achieve the level of danger yet because the level of pH is 7. It is expected that the society keep local wisdom in conserving water resources to make those water resources conserved well.
