Abstract

Purposes—This study aims to increase students' fiction analysis by integrating Quizizz media into the Project-Based Learning model. It explores how this combination fosters engagement, critical thinking, and literary comprehension, particularly in analyzing the main elements, such as plot, theme, setting, and moral/ message.Methodology- This study used mixed-method approaches, combining quantitative analysis and test results, a questionnaire, and qualitative knowledge from interviews with the teacher. This study was conducted in SMP Negeri 4 Palu, involving 32 students from the eighth grade. The students are selected from stratified random sampling. The data-collecting instrument consisted of a fiction test analysis, a questionnaire, and a Likert scale on engagement and motivation. In contrast, a semi-structured questionnaire was given to the teachers, and an expert and statistical analysis assessment confirmed the validity and reliability of the test.Findings- Integrating quizzes in the PBL framework significantly increases the students' comprehension of fictional analysis, with an average score of 91,94%, which is categorized as high competency. The highest proficiency level score belongs to theme (100%) and morel/message (100%), meanwhile plot (84%) and characterization (81%) pose a bigger challenge. Teacher interviews highlight the variability of students' comprehension, engagement disparity, and resource accessibility problems as influencing factors. Quizizz gamified games, instant feedback, competitive quizzes, and interactive engagement were found to motivate students and improve their understanding of the literary concept.Significance—This study bridges the gap in the research by evaluating the empirical integration of gamification and PBL in literary education. This finding contributes to the pedagogical improvement of digital learning, showing how interactive and student-centered approaches can improve high-level thinking skills in fraction analysis. This study also highlights the importance of teachers' facilities, fair technology access, and strategic guidance instruments in maximizing learning outcomes,

Abstract

Purpose – As critical thinking is a key competency in science education, this study employs a meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing students' critical thinking skills. This study analyzed 21 articles published between 2017 and 2024. These articles specifically discuss the effectiveness of PBL implementation in enhancing students' critical thinking skills.Methodology – The selection criteria included peer-reviewed articles published between 2017 and 2024, which provided explicit numerical data (sample size, mean, standard deviation) and a direct focus on the impact of PBL on critical thinking skills. A random-effects model was chosen due to expected variability among studies, and the effect size was calculated using Hedges' g to ensure robust findings. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 29 to calculate the summary effect, analyze heterogeneity, construct a forest plot, and identify potential publication bias.Findings – The meta-analysis revealed a significant improvement in critical thinking skills for students who experienced PBL-based learning compared to conventional methods (summary effect = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.15-1.0, p = 0.01). This shows that 57% of learning with PBL models analyzed has a significant positive effect on students' critical thinking skills. The heterogeneity test indicated (I² value = 93,9% > 25%), suggesting moderate variability among the analyzed studies. Funnel plots and Egger's regression tests indicate no risk of publication bias.Contribution– These findings emphasize the importance of integrating PBL into science curricula to foster critical thinking skills. Educators should consider structured PBL frameworks, while policymakers could support teacher training initiatives to optimize implementation. Future studies may explore longitudinal effects and variations across different educational levels.

Abstract

Purpose – Education plays a crucial role in shaping high-quality human resources, with curriculum adaptation being essential to meet the demands of an ever-changing world. One key element is differentiated instruction, which accommodates diverse student learning needs through differentiation in content, process, and product. However, its implementation faces challenges, particularly in integrating differentiated instruction with the development of students' social-emotional competencies. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating differentiated instruction with social-emotional competencies in enhancing students' learning motivation.Methodology – This study was conducted at SDN 5 Sumber using a qualitative descriptive approach through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis. The participants included the principal, teachers, and fourth-grade students. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.Findings – The study found that differentiation was more frequently applied to the learning process rather than content and product. Teachers utilized auditory, visual, and kinesthetic strategies, but content differentiation was limited. Social-emotional competencies were developed through group discussions, reflective sessions, and collaborative activities, leading to increased student engagement, independence, and emotional regulation. Evaluations used formative and summative assessments, with observation rubrics for assessing social-emotional competencies.Contribution – This study contributes to the understanding that integrating differentiated instruction with social-emotional competency development can effectively enhance students' learning motivation. It also highlights the need for improved teacher training and resources to support content and product differentiation.
