Abstract

This research emphasizes the urgency of using PhET-based virtual laboratories in Boyle’s Law experiments to enhance students’ understanding of gas properties, specifically the relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature. By applying an inquiry-based HOT Lab approach, students can actively manipulate gas variables and observe real-time pressure changes through the simulation. The findings indicate that the PhET simulation significantly aids students in grasping Boyle’s Law principles by providing an interactive and engaging learning experience. Furthermore, this approach supports the development of critical and analytical thinking skills and accommodates various learning styles and paces, making it an inclusive educational tool. Given the challenges in physics learning, especially in the context of online education, integrating virtual simulations with physical laboratory activities in the future could enrich the learning experience and deepen students’ understanding of fundamental physics concepts.

Abstract

Self-directed learning is significant to empower learners to take ownership of their learning, particularly in fostering positive behavioral learning attitudes, enhancing autonomy, and improving academic performance. This study examines its impact on teacher trainees' behavioral learning attitudes by: (1) analyzing changes after self-directed learning intervention, (2) assessing its overall impact, and (3) exploring trainees’ perceptions of their experiences. In the research, the study involved 83 first-year teacher trainees. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, a questionnaire, and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were analyzed using a Paired-Sample T-Test and Multiple Regression, while qualitative data underwent Thematic Analysis. Findings shown a significant improvement in behavioral learning attitudes following self-directed learning with Self-directed learning was found to be a significant predictor (B = .544, p < .001), indicating that higher levels of self-directed learning led to higher post-test scores in behavioral learning attitudes. The approach strongly influenced overall behavioral learning attitudes, as teacher trainees perceived it as enhancing their self-regulation, learning engagement, persistence, proactive learning, and help-seeking behavior. The study concludes that self-directed learning is an effective instructional approach for fostering positive behavioral attitudes. These findings suggest integrating self-directed learning model into teacher training programs to promote autonomy and engagement. Future research should examine its long-term effects on professional development.

Abstract

Several concepts in science subjects are abstract, making it difficult for students to understand the material and resulting in low learning outcomes. This issue is further exacerbated by the limited use of engaging learning media that support deep conceptual understanding. To address this issue, a visual novel-based learning media titled "Bima's Adventure" was developed for the topic of Earth's atmospheric layers. This study aims to determine the feasibility of the visual novel game "Bima's Adventure" as a learning medium to improve students' learning outcomes on the topic of Earth's atmospheric layers. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model. The validation results showed a score of 93% (very valid) for media validation and 87% (very valid) for material validation. The trial results indicated that the media was efficient, based on teacher response questionnaires (96.9%) and student response questionnaires (92.89%). In addition, using this media significantly improved student learning outcomes, as evidenced by an N-Gain score of 0.71 (high) and a Mann-Whitney U-Test significance value of 0.000. Beyond improving academic performance, "Bima's Adventure" fostered student engagement through a problem-based learning approach.

Abstract

Argumentation ability is an important skill in learning. However, in classroom learning, there are still many students who have difficulty in constructing strong arguments. One strategy that can be applied to improve students' argumentation skills is the Think Pair Share type cooperative learning model with a science literacy approach. This model encourages students to think independently, discuss with peers, and share understanding with the group, so that they are more active in building concepts and presenting scientific arguments. The type of research used was quantitative with a quasi-experimental design. The population in this study were VIII grade students at MTs Darul Huda Mayak Ponorogo with research samples in class VIII.2 with 30 students and class VIII.3 with 30 students. The data collection technique was carried out by pretest and posttest of students' argumentation skills. The results showed that the implementation of learning got a percentage of 92.30%, including in the very good category. The average posttest score of the experimental class was 76.80, while the control class was 58.27. The results of the independent sample t-test also showed a significant difference in students' argumentation skills between the experimental and control classes. While the N-Gain test shows a result of 58.8556 which is included in the moderately effective category. These findings indicate that the Think Pair Share type cooperative learning model with a science literacy approach can be a strategy that can improve students' scientific argumentation skills in learning science actively and meaningfully.
