Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of differentiated learning strategies on Grade VIII students’ learning outcomes in the human respiratory system topic at SMPN 9 Banjarmasin. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving two intact classes: class VIII A as the experimental group (n = 31) and class VIII C as the control group (n = 35), with a total of 66 students. The experimental group received instruction using differentiated learning strategies based on content, process, and product differentiation, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data were collected using a 20-item multiple-choice learning outcome test administered as a pre-test and post-test. The instruments were validated using the Pearson Product Moment validity test, and reliability was measured using Cronbach’s Alpha. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, ANCOVA, and the Mann–Whitney test. Because the post-test scores did not meet the homogeneity assumption, the Mann–Whitney test was used as the final hypothesis test. The results showed a statistically significant difference in post-test scores between the experimental and control groups (Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05), with the experimental group achieving a higher mean score (71.13 vs. 49.29). The ANCOVA results also indicated a large effect size for the treatment variable (partial η² = 0.354). These findings suggest that differentiated learning strategies may support students’ learning outcomes in science, particularly in the human respiratory system topic. However, the initial difference in pre-test means between the groups (46.61 vs. 33.86) should be considered a limitation when interpreting these results.

Abstract

Tsunami mitigation education often encounters significant challenges, as students struggle to grasp abstract concepts, visualize complex phenomena, and lack direct experiential learning opportunities. This research aims to develop Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media in the form of a pocketbook to address micro-learning issues among Grade VIII junior high school students. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate). Participants included 25 Grade VIII female students at MMA Darul Jannah Al-Ma’wa, with data collected via expert validation sheets, pretest-posttest assessments, and student response questionnaires. Validation results categorized the media as "highly feasible" with a score of 83.25%. Effectiveness testing yielded an N-Gain value of 0.56 (moderately effective), while the paired t-test revealed a significance level of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant improvement between pretest and posttest scores. In conclusion, AR-based learning media effectively assists students in understanding tsunami mitigation more clearly, facilitating conceptual visualization and enhancing learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study was aimed at providing quantitative analysis of correlation between motivation and problem-solving ability. We conducted a systematic review from several published studies from 2000 to 2025. The studies collected in this review were selected from comprehensive search through databases including Google scholar, Science Direct, ERIC, and Research Gate. There are some inclusion criteria for literature selection including the using standardized problem-solving test and motivation questionnaire, and the availability of reported correlation coefficients. A total of 23 studies with 56 different samples were gathered in this review. The study showed that the average correlation from the studies showed low coefficient (r = .155, z = .157). The majority of studies used self-regulation, self-efficacy, intrinsic, and extrinsic motivation for measuring motivation level of students. Complex problem solving (CPS) was the most used test for assessing problem solving. A higher correlation between motivation and problem-solving ability was seen in the middle school level but shows similar trend over the educational level. Findings from the analysis imply that motivational factors will support problem solving in indirect ways. It gives challenge of instructional design to improve problem solving ability with integration of motivational factors.

Abstract

This research aims to develop Android-based educational game media on Earth and Solar System materials to improve the learning outcomes of grade VII students at MTsN 1 Kediri City. The background of this research is the lack of use of interesting and interactive learning media so that student learning outcomes are still low or have not reached the Learning Goal Achievement Criteria (KKTP). The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with a Four-D (4D) model which includes Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. Data was obtained through expert validation as well as students' Pretest and Posttest results, then analyzed using feasibility and effectiveness tests (normality, homogeneity, paired sample t-test, and N-gain tests). The results of the study showed that the developed media was very feasible with a percentage of assessment of material experts of 88.7%, media experts of 94.3%, and question experts of 90%. The effectiveness test showed an increase in learning outcomes with a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05 and an N-gain value of 0.5888 in the medium category. Thus, Android-based educational game media is declared feasible and effective enough to improve student learning outcomes.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze. the use of PhET Simulation in science learning and examine its relationship to their conceptual understanding. The research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design. The study sample consisted of 30 students. Data were collected using a questionnaire on PhET Simulation usage and a test of students’ conceptual understanding. The questionnaire instrument was validated and deemed reliable prior to use. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and Spearman’s rho correlation tests with the aid of SPSS. The results indicated that the average score for PhET Simulation usage was 39.10 out of a maximum of 48, which falls into the high category. Meanwhile, the average score for students’ conceptual understanding was 70.33, with a relatively high variation among the students. The normality test results showed that one of the variables was not normally distributed; therefore, hypothesis testing was conducted using Spearman’s rho correlation. The Spearman’s rho correlation test yielded a coefficient of 0.082 with a significance level of 0.667 (p > 0.05), indicating that there was no significant relationship between PhET Simulation usage and students’ conceptual understanding. The findings suggest that PhET Simulation use has not become a dominant factor in improving students’ conceptual understanding, as it is still influenced by prior ability, learning motivation, and the instructional strategies employed by teachers.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop STEM-PBL-based thermochemistry teaching materials and examine their validity and practicality for use in chemistry education. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, limited to the Analysis, Design, and Development stages. Following product development, expert validation and a limited practicality assessment were conducted. The research subjects consisted of three expert validators and 30 students from the Chemistry Education Study Program. The instruments used were validity and practicality questionnaires employing a four-point Likert scale. Validity data were analyzed using average validation scores, while practicality data were analyzed using the percentage of student responses. The results showed that the developed teaching materials obtained an average validity percentage of 93%, categorized as highly valid. The practicality assessment yielded a percentage score of 92%, categorized as highly practical. Students responded positively to the developed teaching materials, indicating that they were easy to use, attractive, and beneficial for supporting thermochemistry learning activities. The practicality assessment was limited to student responses and did not evaluate learning effectiveness. Therefore, the STEM-PBL-based thermochemistry teaching materials are considered highly valid and highly practical for use in chemistry education.
