Abstract

Soft skills are essential factors in preparing students to face the increasingly competitive job market. However, traditional learning methods often pay less attention to the development of these non-technical skills. This study aims to analyze the impact of project-based learning integrated with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) on improving students' soft skills in the Organic Chemistry course, particularly in the topic of hydrocarbons. The research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational design. The sample was selected purposively, involving 33 students who took the Organic Chemistry. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire using Google Form, and the data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression. The results showed that the project-based learning method integrated with STEAM (PJBL-STEAM) had a significant impact on the development of students' soft skills, with a determination coefficient (R²) value of 0.300. This indicates that the method explains 30% of the variation in soft skills improvement, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors beyond this study. In conclusion, this study highlights that PJBL-STEAM is not only effective in enhancing students' technical abilities but also plays a crucial role in developing the non-technical skills required in professional settings.

Abstract

The low level of students' critical thinking skills in learning chemistry is still a challenge at the high school level. This condition is caused by the lack of application of learning models that can encourage students to think analytically and reflectively. This study aims to analyze the results of the analysis of students' critical thinking skills through the application of discovery learning models in chemistry subjects in class XI SMA. This research used qualitative research method with descriptive analysis approach. The research subjects included chemistry teachers and students. Data collection was done through observation, interview, and document analysis. Data analysis techniques used triangulation, member check, audit trail, and credibility checking to ensure the validity of the findings. The results showed differences in the level of students' critical thinking skills during the learning process with the discovery model. Some critical thinking indicators, such as the ability to analyze information and provide logical arguments, have not been applied optimally by students. Differences in classroom interactions also affected students' learning outcomes. Teacher 1 applies multi-directional interactions that encourage active discussions, while Teacher 2 tends to use unidirectional interactions that limit students' participation. Teachers' teaching skills play an important role in facilitating the development of students' critical thinking skills. The conclusion of this study shows that the discovery learning model can improve students' critical thinking skills if supported by effective interactions and adequate teacher teaching skills.

Abstract

Addressing children’s emotional well-being is crucial for fostering healthy psychological development and optimizing their capacity to thrive in academic settings. However, traditional classroom routines often overlook the role of self-awareness and emotion regulation, especially for younger learners. This study aims to analyze the impact of a mindfulness-based intervention on reducing anxiety and improving self-regulation among primary school children. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving students who were assigned to either an experimental group receiving mindfulness training or a control group with no such intervention. Anxiety and self-regulation were measured using validated psychological scales before and after the intervention. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to assess the overall effect of the mindfulness program on both dependent variables. The results revealed that students who underwent mindfulness training demonstrated significantly lower levels of anxiety and improved self-regulation compared to the control group. The findings suggest that mindfulness practices help children develop greater emotional awareness, calmness, and behavioral control, contributing to their overall psychological resilience. This study underscores the value of incorporating structured mindfulness programs into early education to support both emotional and behavioral development.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has not been fully matched by digital literacy and the readiness of prospective teachers to integrate it into learning. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of elementary school teacher education students regarding the use of AI in learning. A descriptive quantitative method enriched with qualitative data from semi-structured interviews was employed. The research involved 85 second- and fourth-semester students selected using incidental sampling techniques. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire for quantitative data, and interviews to deepen survey findings. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were processed using thematic analysis techniques. The results revealed that most students had positive perceptions of AI, particularly in improving learning efficiency, facilitating access to information, and supporting content understanding. However, students also identified risks that need attention, such as the potential for plagiarism, excessive dependency, and a decline in critical thinking and social interaction skills. The study concludes that comprehensive AI literacy is essential for prospective teachers to optimize and responsibly utilize technology. The study recommends integrating AI literacy programs into teacher education curricula and conducting further research on the long-term impacts of AI implementation on learning outcomes in the digital era.

Abstract

A common problem in Indonesia, especially in history learning, is the one-way (teacher-centered) lecture method, which results in non-interactive classes, lack of student independence, and limited improvement in student skills. Efforts to achieve learning objectives in the 21st century pose a challenge for schools and teachers to prepare effective classroom practices. The concept of using games in learning, known as Game Based Learning (GBL), is applied through the Temple Monopoly (TEMON) game. The goal is to stimulate students’ historical thinking skills and learning independence. The research method used was a Pre-Experiment Design with a quantitative comparative approach between an experimental class and a control class in 10th grade Senior High School (SMA). The research findings show that the average historical thinking skills and learning independence in the experimental class differed significantly from the control class. In conclusion, the T-test results indicated a value of 4.750 > 1.990, showing that TEMON has an impact on historical thinking skills, and the independent learning outcomes showed a T-test result of 1.970 > 1.664 at SMAN 4 Bekasi. Similarly, TEMON also positively impacts learning independence.
