Abstract

This study aims to develop a learning media based on a honey bear education module used in the Indonesian biodiversity material for seventh-grade junior high school students. The background of this study is based on the importance of strengthening biodiversity material through a contextual approach that includes environmental conservation values, especially the protection of endemic species such as the honey bear (Helarctos malayanus). This study uses the ADDIE development model which includes five stages, namely: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research instruments include expert validation sheets (material, media, and language), science teacher validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and learning outcome tests (pre-test and post-test). The limited trial subjects were 25 seventh-grade students at a junior high school in Balikpapan. The results of the material expert validation showed a feasibility percentage of 78.67%, media expert validation of 56.36%, and validation by science teachers of 81.33%. The module was declared feasibility after being revised based on input from experts. The effectiveness test results using a paired t-test showed a significance value of 0.033 (p < 0.05), which means there is a significant difference between student learning outcomes before and after using the module. Furthermore, student responses to the module showed a high level of interest in the content and presentation of the material, as well as an increased awareness of the importance of biodiversity conservation. Thus, this sun bear education module has proven to be feasible and effective for use in science learning on biodiversity material.

Abstract

This study was prompted by the low learning outcomes of third-grade students at SD Negeri 002 Sintong, particularly in Science (IPA), due to conventional teaching methods that inadequately engage students. Innovation in learning models, such as Problem Based Learning (PBL), is crucial for enhancing the quality of basic education and motivating students. The objective of this research was to analyze the effect of the PBL model on the learning outcomes of third-grade students at SD Negeri 002 Sintong. This research adopted a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically the Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population comprised all 64 third-grade students at SD Negeri 002 Sintong. The entire population of 64 students was also selected as the research sample using a purposive sampling technique. The sample was divided into two groups: 32 students in the experimental group, who received PBL instruction, and 32 students in the control group, who received conventional instruction. Data were collected through pretests and posttests using cognitive learning outcome instruments that had been validated and tested for reliability. Data analysis involved normality (Shapiro- Wilk) and homogeneity (Levene's Test) pre-requisite tests, followed by an Independent Sample T-Test. The results indicated that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous, satisfying the statistical assumptions. The Independent Sample T- Test revealed a significant difference in student learning outcomes between the experimental and control groups, with a t- value of 24.1716 and a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05).

Abstract

demanding that students manage emotions in order to sustain persistence. This study explored how undergraduate students regulate their emotions as they navigate the challenges of online education. Using in-depth interviews and qualitative thematic analysis, the research uncovered four interwoven processes through which resilience was enacted. Emotional strain, often experienced as frustration or isolation, became a trigger for regulatory awareness. Cognitive reappraisal enabled students to reinterpret setbacks as growth opportunities, preserving motivation in the face of adversity. Mindfulness and self-awareness provided grounding practices that stabilized attention and emotional balance in distraction rich settings. Relational connections with peers, instructors, and family supplied the scaffolding that transformed individual strategies into sustainable resilience. Together these findings show that resilience is not a static trait but a dynamic practice forged through the interplay of meaning making, embodied regulation, and social support. The study contributes to theory by integrating these dimensions into a more comprehensive model of resilience in digital education and offers practical guidance for designing learning environments that intentionally cultivate both emotional wellbeing and academic persistence.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of the Learning Environment and Study Discipline on Social Studies Learning Motivation among fifth-grade students at State Elementary School Gugus I, South Kota District, Gorontalo. Using a quantitative approach with an explanatory design, the study seeks to analyze the relationship between these two factors and students' learning motivation. A survey method was employed with a questionnaire distributed to 41 students selected through purposive sampling. The validity and reliability tests showed that the instruments used in this study are valid and reliable. Based on multiple linear regression analysis, it was found that the Learning Environment has a greater impact on students' learning motivation than Study Discipline, although both factors have a significant influence. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.956 indicates that over 95% of the variation in Social Studies learning motivation can be explained by these two variables. This study concludes that a conducive Learning Environment and the development of good Study Discipline play a crucial role in enhancing students' learning motivation. Creating a positive and well-organized learning environment not only affects students' engagement in learning but also improves their academic achievements, especially in Social Studies. Therefore, improving both factors is expected to have a positive impact on students' motivation and academic performance at the primary education level.

Abstract

The comparative study of English Department students' achievement at Khairun University explores significant variations in speaking skills among 300 students from the 1st, 3rd, and 5th semesters. This research uses quantitative-descriptive methods. The research employs questionnaires and interviews to assess demographic information, speaking challenges, influencing factors, and supporting elements. Findings reveal an average age of 19.2 years impacting speaking achievement, with a noteworthy correlation between proficiency, Grade Point Average (GPA), and academic grades. Higher-than-average GPA and grades correspond to enhanced speaking skills. Additionally, parents' educational backgrounds and occupations significantly influence speaking achievement, with 17.1% having a Bachelor's degree and 53.6% working as farmers. Students from educated and employed families excel in speaking English. Study habits indicate limited commitment, with most students spending less than an hour per week practicing speaking. English speaking courses show advantages for participants, particularly those dedicating more hours to study. The study emphasizes the need to enhance students' awareness and motivation for developing speaking proficiency beyond academic contexts. Overall, the research provides insights for targeted educational interventions to improve students speaking skills in English Department at Universitas Khairun.

Abstract

The ability to speak English is crucial in today's globalized era, especially for vocational students in agro-industrial engineering. However, traditional teaching methods often fail to develop speaking skills effectively, leading to low confidence and motivation among students. Constructivist theories emphasize active student involvement and real-life simulations as effective learning approaches. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the role-playing simulation method in improving the English-speaking skills of Agro-Industrial Engineering students at Politeknik ATI Makassar. A quasi-experimental research design with a mixed-method approach was employed. The participants were 30 second-semester students. Data were collected through speaking tests (Test 1, Test 2, Test 3), observation sheets, and interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Cohen's d for effect size. The research involved six meetings with various business communication scenarios. The average speaking test scores significantly increased from 66.67 (Test 1) to 75.03 (Test 2) and 81.27 (Test 3). Cohen's d values indicated a medium effect for Test 1 vs Test 2 (d=0.72) and Test 2 vs Test 3 (d=0.61), and a large effect for Test 1 vs Test 3 (d=1.29). Students showed increased confidence, motivation, and active participation, with more intelligent students assisting their peers. The role-playing simulation method significantly improved English-speaking skills, confidence, and motivation among agro-industrial engineering students. This method provides a practical and effective alternative to conventional teaching, aligning with constructivist learning principles and preparing students for industry needs. Future research should explore this method in different contexts with larger sample sizes

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students’ creative thinking skills in solving physics problems related to the topic of global warming using the Rasch Model approach. Creative thinking is an essential component of 21st century skills, encompassing four main indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The research utilized a descriptive qualitative design supported by quantitative analysis using the Rasch Model to assess the quality of test items and the distribution of students’ abilities. A total of 25 eleventh-grade students from a public high school in Lebak Regency, Banten, participated in the study. The sample was selected using cluster random sampling. The instrument used consisted of eight open-ended essay questions that were validated by experts and tested for internal consistency, yielding a high reliability coefficient (α = 0.86). The results indicated a wide variation in students’ creative thinking skills. Most students fell into the high (28%) and moderate (24%) categories. The fluency aspect showed the highest achievement level (72%), reflecting students’ ability to generate ideas, while flexibility (63.5%) showed the lowest, suggesting challenges in producing ideas from diverse perspectives. Rasch model analysis showed that most test items were categorized as easy and did not sufficiently challenge higher-ability students. Interview data supported these findings, showing that students frequently gave generic responses lacking originality and depth. These results indicate that current physics instruction has not fully fostered students’ creative potential. Therefore, it is crucial to implement contextual, open-ended, and real-world problem-solving-oriented learning strategies to better support the development of creative thinking in physics education.
