Abstract

Students' interest is significant in their academic performance in Physics. However, due to the pandemic, their interest and performance results still need to be higher. Therefore, this study analyzed the interests and academic achievements of 10th-grade physics students and compared them by gender. This study also investigates significant differences in their academic interests and achievements when grouped by gender. This research uses a quantitative design with a descriptive, comparative, and correlational approach. The research subjects were 108 Class 10 Physics students determined using convenience sampling. Data collection methods use questionnaires and tests. The data collection instruments are questionnaire sheets and test questions. The statistical tools used in data analysis are mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U Test, and Spearman Rank Correlation. The research results show that students are generally interested in physics and do not meet expectations in terms of academic achievement. Meanwhile, there is no difference in their academic interests and achievements when grouped by gender. However, there is a significant relationship between their interests and academic performance. Given the results, continuous improvement in content delivery, teaching strategies, and assessments is necessary to ensure student interest and academic performance.

Abstract

The social sciences are essential for students to function in society. Therefore, a proficiency assessment is necessary to check their acquisition of competency. This research aims to assess the level of student proficiency and challenges in Social Science Disciplines and Ideas (DISS) in private high schools. Additionally, this study investigated differences in their proficiency levels compared to gender and grades. This type of research is quantitative research. This research uses a quantitative research design, specifically a descriptive-comparative approach. The respondents for this research were 144 students who were determined using stratified random sampling. Data analysis techniques use inferential statistics. The results of this research are that students show a developing level of proficiency in DISS, which indicates that these competencies have not been fully mastered. In comparison, there were differences when grouped by gender and level, with women and those scoring 90-100 scoring higher than their peers. Meanwhile, the challenges faced by students in studying DISS are related to teachers, students, student environment, resources, facilities and subject factors. Considering the results, the anchored theory was validated. Therefore, continuous improvement is encouraged to implement content, strategies, and assessments in DISS to develop students' level of proficiency in the course.
