Abstract

Improving the quality of learning is one of the main focuses in the field of education. One factor that plays a role in enhancing students' understanding is the use of interactive learning media. This media allows students to be more active in the learning process, especially in understanding abstract concepts. However, based on interviews with teachers at State Junior High School 1 Huamual Belakang, it was found that the utilization of interactive learning media at that school is still very minimal. Therefore, this Community Service Program (PKM) aims to train teachers in using PhET, Prezi, Seesaw, and Renderforest applications as interactive learning media that can improve student learning outcomes. The method used in this activity is direct instruction, which includes material presentation, demonstrations of application usage, simulations, and discussion and Q&A sessions. The evaluation was conducted through a questionnaire filled out by teachers and students after the training. The analysis results from the questionnaire indicate that the use of interactive learning media received positive feedback from both teachers and students. Teachers felt more assisted in delivering the material, while students found it easier to understand abstract concepts. Thus, this activity has a positive impact on enhancing teachers' skills in utilizing learning technology and helps students understand the material more effectively. This program is expected to be implemented sustainably in other schools to improve the quality of education.

Abstract

Students often face difficulties in socializing with their peers during the learning process. Therefore, a learning approach that can enhance collaborative skills is needed—one such approach is differentiated instruction. This study aims to describe students' collaboration skills through the implementation of a differentiated approach in learning physics at Grade X of SMA B in West Seram Regency. The subjects of this study were 26 students from class X-2 at SMA B. The research employed a descriptive quantitative and qualitative method. The experimental design used was a one-shot case study. The instrument used in the study was non-test-based, namely an observation sheet designed to measure collaboration skills. Data analysis was conducted using quantitative descriptive analysis to present the data in percentage form, as well as qualitative descriptive analysis to explain the findings through narrative descriptions. The data analysis techniques included both qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis, which involved observing students’ collaboration skills using the differentiated approach. The observation sheet results showed that students’ collaborative skills reached a percentage of 72.43%, which falls under the high category. This high category was attributed to the fact that learning through a differentiated approach enabled students to demonstrate improved collaboration skills—such as active participation, responsibility, flexibility and compromise, and mutual respect.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed the educational landscape, particularly in higher education. This study aims to investigate the impact of AI integration on students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills through a meta-analysis approach. Data were collected from 12 empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025 that examined the implementation of AI-assisted learning environments in universities. Using a random-effects model, the study analyzed effect sizes to determine the overall impact of AI-based interventions. The results reveal a moderate to strong positive effect (Hedges’ g = 0.64) of AI integration on critical thinking skills, and a significant improvement in problem-solving. Subgroup analysis further indicates that adaptive learning systems and AI-driven feedback tools produce the greatest enhancement in cognitive performance compared to traditional instruction. Moreover, the effectiveness of AI integration is influenced by factors such as duration of implementation, discipline area, and the level of technological literacy among students and instructors. These findings underscore the potential of AI as a transformative pedagogical tool that fosters higher-order thinking and learner autonomy in higher education. The study concludes by recommending that universities adopt AI technologies strategically, emphasizing instructional design that aligns with cognitive development principles to ensure sustainable and equitable learning outcomes.
