Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using comic media in the Team Games Tournament (TGT) learning model on improving the science literacy of elementary school students on the topic of animal life cycle. Science literacy is an essential skill that should be fostered from an early age. This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design involving 48 third-grade students at SDN Duren Tiga 13, South Jakarta, divided into an experimental class (21 students) and control class (27 class). A 25 item multiple choice instrument was used, analyzed using the Rasch model via the Winstep application. Results showed that 20 out 21 students (95.24%) in experimental goup improved, while only 1 declined. In contrast, only 18 of 27 students (66.70%) in control class improved, with 4 remaining unchanged and 5 declining. An Independent sample t-test confirmed a significant difference between the groups, t(46) = 2.973, p = 0.005. these findings indicate that integrating comic media with the TGT model learning effectively enhance students’ science literacy and may serve as an engaging alternative to conventional instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of using the MAGICO learning media (Active Magnet for Games and Cognitive Interaction) on improving fourth-grade elementary students’ understanding of magnetism concepts. The background of this research is based on the low level of student comprehension regarding attractive and repulsive forces, magnetic poles, and magnetic fields, which is often due to passive and non-exploratory conventional teaching methods. MAGICO was developed as an innovative, game- and exploration-based learning medium designed to actively engage students in understanding abstract concepts through activities such as magnetic mazes and force-attraction experiment boards. This research employed a quasi-experimental method with a control group and an experimental group design. The study involved 40 students divided into two groups: the experimental class used MAGICO, while the control class received conventional instruction. A conceptual understanding test was administered before and after the intervention as the primary research instrument. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference between the two groups in improving conceptual understanding of magnetism. Although the experimental group showed an increase in average scores, the difference was not statistically strong enough to confirm the effect of the intervention. Several factors may have influenced these results, including the relatively short duration of the intervention, heterogeneous classroom conditions, varying levels of student participation, and differences in prior knowledge. Additionally, students may have needed more time to adapt to the new learning media. Nevertheless, the upward trend in the experimental group's scores—where 72% of students showed a significant improvement—indicates the potential of MAGICO as an effective learning tool. In contrast, although 77% of students in the control group also showed improvement, the depth and consistency of their understanding were less evident.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of KOSICA (Box of Light Properties) media on elementary students’ conceptual understanding of light properties. The research was conducted at SDN Duren Tiga 13 Pagi, South Jakarta, using a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: control and experimental. The experimental group learned using KOSICA, while the control group received conventional instruction. An independent samples t-test revealed a significant difference between the groups (t = -4.460, p = 0.000), with higher post-test scores in the experimental group. Additionally, Rasch model stacking analysis showed that most students in the experimental class improved after the intervention. These findings suggest that KOSICA is an effective contextual tool to enhance science learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the potential to improve the science literacy of elementary school students through the application of the RADEC learning model based on the STEM approach on electrical materials. This study uses a pre-experimental design in the form of a one-group pretest-posttest design without a control group. The subjects consisted of 21 grade V students in one of the public elementary schools in Indonesia. Data was collected through science literacy tests administered before and after learning. The results of the analysis using paired t-tests showed a significant increase in students' science literacy scores after the intervention (t(20) = 10.46, p < 0.001), with an average pretest score of 1.44 and a posttest of 4.11, as well as an average gain of 2.67 (SD = 0.80). All participants showed an increase in scores. These findings indicate that the integration of STEM approaches in the RADEC model has the potential to improve students' understanding of science concepts. However, because the study design did not involve a control group, it cannot be concluded with certainty that the improvement was entirely due to the intervention. Other factors such as additional learning experience or the effect of test repetition can affect the results. Further research with a quasi-experimental design is recommended to test effectiveness more robustly.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between 21st-century skills and students’ learning outcomes on the topic of viruses in Grade X at SMA Negeri 1 Rao, Pasaman Barat, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach with a correlational research design, data were obtained from two instruments: a 21st-century skills questionnaire and a summative test on the virus topic. The questionnaire measured four core dimensions: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson’s product–moment correlation to assess the strength and significance of the relationship between the variables. The results indicated a very weak and statistically non-significant correlation between 21st-century skills and summative learning outcomes. These findings suggest that while 21st-century skills are vital for fostering deep conceptual understanding and the practical application of scientific knowledge, they are not adequately captured by assessments focused primarily on rote memorization and factual recall. The study highlights the need for integrating learning approaches that embed competency-based evaluation, such as project-based learning, case studies, and collaborative problem-solving tasks. Such approaches would enable a more comprehensive measurement of students’ abilities and better align assessment practices with the demands of contemporary education

Abstract

Rapid technological advancements in electrical engineering education require innovative learning media that bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications, especially for complex topics such as low-power inverters. This study developed and evaluated an AI-integrated learning media for low-power inverters, utilizing the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The media's effectiveness was assessed through a single-group pretest-posttest design involving 40 undergraduate electrical engineering students. Validation by content and media experts deemed the media highly feasible, with an average feasibility percentage exceeding 85%. The implementation results showed a significant improvement in students' cognitive competencies, with the average test score increasing from 59.75 (pretest) to 83.20 (posttest) and an N-Gain of 0.59, which is categorized as moderate. A paired-sample t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the pretest and posttest results. Furthermore, students' perceptions were very positive, especially regarding material understanding, learning motivation, interactivity, and self-directed learning. The novelty of these findings demonstrates that integrating artificial intelligence into learning media is not only technically and pedagogically feasible but also effective in improving the learning outcomes of electrical engineering students. The developed media has the potential for broader application in engineering education and supports continued innovation in smart technology-based learning environments.

Abstract

This study aimed to enhance junior high school students’ problem-solving skills through the integration of PhET simulations within a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. The research design employed was Classroom Action Research (CAR), carried out in two iterative cycles consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. A total of 60 Grade VII students from two parallel classes at a private junior high school in Surabaya participated in this study during the 2024–2025 academic year. Data collection involved pre-tests and post-tests for each cycle, focusing on both general learning outcomes and specific indicators of problem-solving ability. The data were analyzed quantitatively using the normalized gain (N-Gain) formula. Results showed that general learning outcomes improved from an N-Gain score of 0.29 in the first cycle (low category) to 0.69 in the second cycle (medium category). Problem-solving skills demonstrated a stronger gain, increasing from 0.47 (medium) to 0.85 (high). These improvements suggest that combining differentiated instruction and simulation-based learning effectively fosters students’ conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking. The study concludes that the PhET-assisted PBL approach is a promising instructional model to develop both cognitive and analytical competencies in science education, particularly in motion and force topics.

Abstract

This study aims to develop guided inquiry-based science learning tools to enhance the critical thinking skills of junior high school students on the topic of additive and addictive substances. The research employed a development method using Tessmer’s formative evaluation model, which includes the stages of validation, practicality testing, and effectiveness testing. The developed learning tools consist of lesson plans (RPP), student worksheets (LKPD), and instructional materials. Expert validation results indicated that the tools are in the "highly valid" category, with an average percentage score of 92.5%. The practicality of the tools was reflected in the high implementation of learning activities, ease of use by teachers, and positive student responses. Effectiveness testing showed a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills, with an average N-Gain of 0.49 (moderate category). These findings demonstrate that the guided inquiry-based learning tools are not only theoretically and practically feasible but also have a positive impact on the enhancement of students’ critical thinking skills. Therefore, these tools can serve as an alternative solution for implementing instruction that emphasizes both content mastery and the development of students’ competencies.

Abstract

Public health reflects a complex and dynamic interaction between various determinants, where environmental conditions play a crucial role in influencing disease distribution patterns. The type of research used is qualitative through a descriptive approach. Data from this study were collected through medical records of patients visiting the Lubuk Alung Health Center during the period January to December 2024. The data collection process was carried out by health center officers by accessing medical records to document the type of disease and the number of cases based on their respective work areas. Furthermore, each case of disease was classified according to the type of disease and the patient's area of ​​residence. This study was conducted in the work area of ​​the Lubuk Alung Health Center, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra. The results of this study found that the distribution of the ten most common diseases was greatly influenced by local environmental conditions in seven villages, namely Air Tajun, Balah Hilir, Lubuk Alung, Pasir Lawas, Pangkalan Kasiak, Sei Abang, and Singguling. The disease with the highest number of cases was ARI (393 cases), followed by Diabetes Mellitus (355 cases), Hypertension (196 cases), Schizophrenia (168 cases), Dyspepsia (135 cases), Cephalgia (35 cases), Febris (56 cases), Skin Disease (45 cases), Heart Disease/HT (50 cases), and Other Diseases (51 cases). Balah Hilir and Pangkalan Kasiak villages showed the highest prevalence of diseases in general, with Balah Hilir recording the highest cases of ARI (97), Diabetes Mellitus (63), Dyspepsia (30), and Heart Disease/HT (11), while Pangkalan Kasiak dominated cases of Diabetes Mellitus (79), ARI (85), and Hypertension (65). Sei Abang also had high figures for ARI (67), Schizophrenia (17), and Skin Disease (12). In contrast, villages such as Pasir Lawas and Lubuk Alung had relatively lower cases of most diseases. This uneven distribution of disease indicates the strong influence of local environmental factors such as air quality, sanitation, lifestyle, and health infrastructure, so that specific area-based interventions are needed to improve overall public health.
