Abstract

The research focuses on the development of educational media using Scratch, a visual programming platform, to teach the concept of buoyancy and enhance computational thinking (CT) skills in primary school students. By adopting the 4D development model (Define, Design, Development, Dissemination), the study identifies challenges in traditional teaching methods, particularly the abstract nature of buoyancy, which often leaves students unengaged. The Scratch-based media addresses this by providing interactive simulations, allowing students to visualize and experiment with floating and sinking objects, thus making the learning process more engaging. The study involves designing a storyboard and flow of the media, followed by the development of simulations where students instruct sprites (characters) to test buoyancy. The media's effectiveness is validated by experts, who rate it based on display design, navigation, content relevance, interactivity, and technical suitability, with the overall results indicating that the media is valid and practical for use in educational settings. This approach not only helps students grasp scientific concepts but also builds their CT skills by integrating programming with science learning. The findings imply that such interdisciplinary tools can transform science learning by making abstract concepts more accessible and engaging, and encourage the development of both scientific and computational competencies in young learners.Keywords: buoyancy; computational thinking (ct); educational media; primary education; scratch programming

Abstract

This research aims to increase students' motivation to learn physics through the application of the Problem Based Learning learning model. This research is considered very important because the results of the analysis of students' initial abilities through teacher and student respondents give low results. This research is a class action research (PTK) conducted in two cycles. The material in the first cycle is static electricity and dynamic electricity while the material in the second cycle is electromagnetic field. This research was conducted at SMKN 1 Tambang in Kampar Regency, Riau Province, with 19 students in class X of Machining Engineering, 16 males and 3 females. The steps in this PTK start from the pre-cycle stage (initial ability analysis), making learning tools and instruments, validating devices and instruments, taking action, evaluation, and reflection. The assessment of students' learning motivation and science process skills was carried out after the cycle ended which was assessed by the teacher himself through a learning motivation questionnaire totaling 35 items and student science process skills questions with a total of 18 multiple-choice questions. The average percentage of students' motivation to learn physics for cycle 1 was 68.30% in the medium category and in cycle 2 was 73.98% in the high category. Meanwhile, for the science process skills test, students in cycle 1 obtained results of 57.02% of the category were quite good and in cycle II, which was 77.48% of the high category. The increase in learning motivation can be seen from the change in the percentage of learning motivation questionnaires from the medium category to high and the change in science process skills can be seen from the change in test results from the fairly good category to good.Keywords: problem based learning learning model, learning media, learning motivation, science process skills

Abstract

Culture, as a nation's invaluable asset, must continuously be introduced and preserved in alignment with the progress of time. Integrating cultural studies with scientific knowledge through education fosters the development of cultural awareness attitudes. A generation trained in cultural sensitivity will recognize the significance of heritage and innovate its presentation to suit contemporary developments. This study explores the use of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with the ethnochemistry of Malay culture—specifically utilizing traditional curd milk—in teaching chemical kinetics to enhance students' cultural awareness. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent pre-test–post-test control group design, conducted at SMAN 2 Siak Hulu, Kampar, Riau Province, involving Grade XI Science students. Cultural awareness attitudes were assessed using indicators adapted from Wunderle, including data and information gathering, cultural consideration, cultural knowledge, cultural understanding, and cultural competence. The results demonstrated that the experimental group achieved an average cultural awareness score of 81.85 (categorized as Very Good), whereas the control group attained an average of 60.84 (Fairly Good). The learning model contributed significantly to enhancing cultural awareness attitudes, with a contribution rate of 56.1%. These findings suggest that integrating ethnochemistry within PBL effectively cultivates both scientific and cultural competencies in students.Keywords: cultural awareness, ethnochemistry, malay culture, PBL
