Conventional learning methods that lack interactivity often make it difficult for students to understand concepts, resulting in low learning outcomes. This study aims to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of interactive PowerPoint learning media integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) in improving students' learning outcomes on the topic of the solar system. The research design used is a one-group pretest-posttest design. Media feasibility was assessed through expert validation by design, material, and media experts, as well as a small group trial. The validation results showed that the media was highly feasible, with an average feasibility score of 98% from the three experts, along with positive responses from the small group trial. The effectiveness of the media was analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, paired sample t-tests, and N-Gain calculations. The t-test results showed a significant value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores. The average N-Gain score of 0.60 or 60.21% falls into the moderate and fairly effective category. Therefore, the media is considered highly feasible and fairly effective for use in science learning at the junior high school level.

Abstract

Science learning approaches that are less interactive cause low student participation in education. Therefore, this study investigates an interactive approach, namely the STEM PjBL based science learning module. This study aims to determine the effect of STEM Project-Based Learning (PjBL)-based science learning modules on learner participation in the material of effort, energy, and simple machines. A quasi-experimental quantitative research design was conducted with 61 students divided into experimental groups and control groups, selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires and participant observation sheets that had been tested for validity. Findings showed a significant increase in student participation in the experimental group (80%) compared to the control group (60%). Statistical analysis, including t-test with sig. 0.000 and Pearson’s value correlation test of 0.539 with sig. 0.002, showed a significant difference between the two groups, supporting the effectiveness of the STEM PjBL module. However, this study highlights the limited role of the teacher as a facilitator and the project guidelines in the module are less specific so there are groups that make projects outside the topic. Overall, this study concluded that the use of STEM PjBL-based modules positively influenced students’ participation in science learning.

Abstract

This study examines the critical role of interactive e-modules in enhancing physics learning in senior high schools by identifying the pedagogical and technical needs of both students and teachers. A descriptive survey design employing a mixed-methods approach was used, integrating quantitative data from student questionnaires with qualitative insights obtained through teacher interviews. The participants consisted of 46 Grade XI students from a senior high school in Nganjuk and eight physics teachers who actively integrate technology into their instructional practices. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings indicate a clear need for innovative instructional media. Although 52% of students reported an interest in physics, 48% reported difficulties understanding key concepts, highlighting the need for more accessible, interactive learning approaches. Notably, 85% of students preferred digital learning media, such as e-modules and instructional videos, over traditional textbooks, and 61% reported using digital devices daily for learning. Most students perceived e-modules as beneficial, particularly valuing features that provide clearer explanations and interactive elements, including animations and videos. Teachers corroborated the effectiveness of e-modules in facilitating the comprehension of abstract physics concepts but emphasized the need for systematic training and improved technical infrastructure to ensure effective implementation. In conclusion, the development of interactive e-modules is essential for enhancing student engagement, fostering higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), and promoting self-regulated learning (SRL). Therefore, this study recommends that educational institutions prioritize targeted teacher-training programs and infrastructure development to support the optimal and sustainable integration of e-modules into physics education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) learning model in improving science learning outcomes for fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 74 Bontorita II. The study used a quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest–Posttest design, involving 19 students as subjects. The research instrument was a learning outcome test given before and after the implementation of the NHT model. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests to determine significant differences in learning outcomes. The results showed an increase in the average score from 46.84 in the pretest to 84.42 in the posttest, this illustrates an increase in students’ understanding of the material on changes in energy forms. The t-test showed a significant difference between the scores before and after the treatment, so the NHT model proved effective in improving science learning outcomes. These findings indicate that active involvement, group collaboration, and individual responsibility in the NHT model can strengthen students’ conceptual understanding. This study concludes that the NHT model is suitable for use as an alternative learning strategy to improve the quality of science learning in elementary schools.
