Abstract

The reason for this review is to portray imaginative reasoning abilities and science-critical abilities to think in middle school understudies by using issue-based learning models. The study was directed at class VIII students at one of Palu City's junior high schools. The population of class VIII consists of five classes totaling 160 students. Purposive sampling was used to select two classes as samples. Data on problem-solving and creative thinking abilities were obtained through essay tests. The instruments used were teaching modules, LKPD, and tests. Information investigation utilized an autonomous t-test with the assistance of SPSS variant 25.0. The findings revealed that the creative thinking skills in conventional classes were significantly lower than problem-based learning classes t(62)=13.56, p<0.001, and problem-solving skills in conventional classes were considerably lower than problem-based learning classes t(62)=14.63, p<0.001. Thus, this study concludes that the creative thinking skills and problem-solving abilities of Class VIII SMP students in science subjects can be empowered by implementing a problem-based learning model.

Abstract

Learning in the Economic Botany and Horticulture course is still dominated by lectures, resulting in limited student procedural skills and the absence of structured teaching materials. This study aims to develop and evaluate an eco-enzyme e-module to improve conceptual understanding, practical competence, and learning effectiveness. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, the study involved expert validation, a limited trial with one class, and pre-test/post-test assessment. Data was analyzed through descriptive validation scores, practicality ratings, and N-gain effectiveness. Results show that expert validation yielded very feasible scores for content (90%), media (88%), and instructional design (86%). The practicality test produced a very practical overall score of 87%, indicating high usability, readability, visual appeal, accessibility, and engagement. Implementation of the e-module increased students’ mean score from 62.4 (pre-test) to 91.2 (post-test), generating an N-gain of 0.77 categorized as high effectiveness. The e-module successfully integrates conceptual explanations, fermentation procedures, multimedia features, and project-based activities related to eco-enzyme production. In conclusion, the eco-enzyme e-module is valid, practical, and effective for supporting independent learning and enhancing students’ conceptual and procedural skills in accordance with the course learning outcomes.
