Abstract

This study aims to: 1) determine the level of disaster literacy among santri (Islamic boarding school students) and ustadz/ah (teachers) in pesantren; 2) analyze the difference in disaster literacy levels between santri and public school students. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey method. The research sample consisted of 306 respondents, comprising 300 students (santri and junior high school students) selected by convenience sampling from 3 pesantren and 3 public schools in East Kalimantan, and 6 science teachers. The research instrument was a closed-ended questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale based on Brown et al.'s (2014) literacy model, which had been tested for validity (product moment > 0.5) and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha > 0.6). Data analysis techniques used descriptive statistics to categorize literacy levels (low, medium, high) and the Mann-Whitney U test to examine differences between groups due to non-normally distributed data. The results show that: 1) the disaster literacy level of ustadz/ah is higher than that of santri, with santri's literacy still dominated by the medium category and characterized by uncertain responses across various indicators; 2) although the Mann-Whitney test indicated a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between santri and public school students, both groups face similar practical challenges, namely the dominance of medium-level literacy and comparable patterns of uncertainty.

Abstract

This study develops and evaluates a Canva-assisted Project Based Learning (PjBL) digital worksheet (LKPD) for food chain instruction in 5th-grade elementary students, using the ADDIE Research and Development model with a convergent mixed-method approach. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design involved 27 students in the experimental group (UPTD SDN 2 Way Mili) and 21 in the control group (UPTD SDN 3 Way Mili), selected through purposive sampling based on comparable baseline characteristics and infrastructure. Data were collected via expert validation sheets, critical thinking tests (10 essay items; validity 0.412-0.789; reliability 0.856), collaboration observation sheets, and response questionnaires, and analyzed using V-Aiken, descriptive statistics, Paired and Independent Sample T-Tests, and N-Gain Score. The digital worksheet achieved very valid status (V-Aiken = 0.90, 90.4%) and was rated very practical by students (93.4%) and teachers (4.59/5.00). The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher critical thinking gains (N-Gain = 0.78, high category) compared to the control group (N-Gain = 0.35, medium category), with statistically significant inter-group differences (t = 8.73; p < 0.001). These findings confirm that the integration of PjBL syntax with Canva’s interactive features effectively develops higher-order thinking skills aligned with 21st-century learning competencies.

Abstract

IPAS (Natural and Social Sciences) instruction at UPTD SDN 2 Labuhan Ratu I was heavily reliant on lecture-based methods occupying 73% of instructional time—with no integration of interactive digital media. Consequently, 62% of students exhibited low motivation, 58% faced challenges in critical reasoning, and the class average reached only 68.4, falling short of the minimum competency threshold (KKM) of 75. This study developed an EcoSTEM-Inquiry Digital Flipbook Instructional Module for IPAS, evaluated for validity, practicality, and effectiveness in fostering learning motivation and critical thinking among fifth-grade elementary students. A Research and Development (R&D) framework guided by the ADDIE model was employed. Participants comprised 19 students in the experimental group (Class VA, UPTD SDN 2 Labuhan Ratu I) and 19 in the control group (Class VB, UPTD SDN 2 Labuhan Ratu I). Instruments included expert validation rubrics, a 25-item ARCS-based learning motivation questionnaire (Likert 1–5), and a 15-item critical thinking test encompassing Facione's (2015) six indicators, with data analyzed via N-Gain, Independent Sample T-Test, and Cohen's d. The module achieved an expert validation mean of 4.43 (Very Good), a teacher usability rating of 89%, and a student response mean of 4.50. Effectiveness results showed significant gains in learning motivation (experimental N-Gain: 68.02% vs. control: 29.12%; t = 15.078; p < 0.05; d = 5.026) and critical thinking (experimental N-Gain: 62.20% vs. control: 20.89%; t = 8.648; p < 0.05; d = 2.883). The EcoSTEM-Inquiry Digital Flipbook Module is substantiated as valid, practical, and demonstrably superior to conventional instruction in improving both variables.

Abstract

Research-Based Learning (RBL) integrates research activities into the learning process to promote active participation and improve students’ academic experiences. This study examined the influence of learning outcomes on students’ learning interest in physics learning implemented through the RBL approach. A quantitative explanatory design was employed. The participants were 32 students from the Physics Education Department, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, UIN Alauddin Makassar, selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through validated and reliable learning outcome tests and learning interest questionnaires. Simple linear regression analysis was conducted after satisfying the assumptions of normality and linearity. The findings indicated that students’ learning outcomes were predominantly in the moderate category (71.875%), while learning interest was generally high (81.25%). The linearity test confirmed a linear relationship between the variables, with a deviation from linearity significance value of 0.057 (>0.05). Regression analysis produced the equation Y = 57.084 + 0.097X and a coefficient of determination (R² = 0.017). These findings indicate that learning outcomes explain only 1.7% of the variance in students’ learning interest, whereas 98.3% is attributable to other factors not examined in this study. Therefore, the relationship between learning outcomes and learning interest in RBL-based physics learning is very weak.
