Abstract

Digital transformation in education necessitates new competencies for biology teachers. This study examines the influence of the DECODE model integrated with Cloud Classroom and gender on TPACK-21 and digital literacy among biology education students. Using a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest nonequivalent control groups, 53 undergraduate students from Universitas Negeri Medan participated in the study. The experimental group (n=26) received the DECODE-Cloud Classroom intervention while the control group (n=27) followed a conventional case study approach. Data collection employed self-report questionnaires, teaching module evaluations, observation sheets, and learning product assessments. MANCOVA analysis revealed that the DECODE-Cloud Classroom model significantly enhanced both TPACK-21 and digital literacy with large effect sizes. Gender showed no significant effect on TPACK-21 but significantly influenced digital literacy development, with male students demonstrating greater improvement in digital security and content creation dimensions, while information and data literacy showed the smallest gap between genders. The interaction between the learning model and gender was not significant for either dependent variable, indicating consistent effectiveness across genders despite varying improvement rates. The findings support implementing the DECODE-Cloud Classroom model in biology teacher preparation programs while considering gender-responsive strategies to optimize digital competency development.

Abstract

Dance learning in junior high schools in Indonesia faces various challenges, especially related to the limitations of learning media and existing facilities. One of the solutions that is developing is the use of video media to demonstrate dance movements more effectively. This study aims to identify the needs of dance demonstration video media needed by teachers and students at Junior High School 2 Liliriaja, Soppeng, Indonesia. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with thematic analysis. Data was collected through an open questionnaire filled out by teachers and 30 students, which were then analyzed to identify themes related to the use of video media in dance learning. The results showed that teachers and students wanted video media that displayed clear dance movement steps, accompanied by music, and contained elements such as school profiles and student achievement. Teachers also hope that there are adequate facilities and infrastructure to support the use of online-based video media. In conclusion, dance demonstration video media is needed by teachers and students in cultural arts learning so that it can improve the quality of dance art learning in schools, and allow students to learn independently and flexibly. Future research recommendations are the need to develop dance demonstration videos that are valid, practical, and effective in learning cultural arts in junior high school.

Abstract

Wordwall is a digital platform that enables educators to create various interactive learning activities. This study explored the perceptions of students as instructors regarding the use of Wordwall in Kampus Mengajar program in Southwest Aceh. This study was conducted to identify the problems related to whether Wordwall was effective as an innovative learning media and to find out the challenges faced in its implementation at elementary schools in Southwest Aceh. Data collection was conducted using a qualitative method, specifically in-depth interviews with 10 student participants of Kampus Mengajar batch 8 in Southwest Aceh who used Wordwall. Thematic analysis was used to process interview data and help identify main themes and categories from interview transcripts. The results showed that Wordwall increased students' motivation, participation, and understanding, as well as created a fun interactive learning atmosphere. The challenges faced included internet connection issues, limitations of devices and access, and unfamiliarity with the digital platform. For future research, it was recommended to conduct a quantitative study with a larger sample size and to involve teachers and students directly in order to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of Wordwall in improving learning outcomes and addressing technical challenges in various school contexts.

Abstract

Deductive reasoning ability is a reasoning skill that every student should possess in mathematics learning because it helps develop a systematic way of thinking in solving problems, particularly in the topic of circle circumference. However, in reality, many students still face difficulties in understanding this material. This study aims to identify students' abilities in performing calculations related to circle circumference and to assess their level of deductive reasoning. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with the subjects being sixth-grade students of MIN 7 Kota Medan, totaling 24 students who were then divided into three groups. The research subjects were selected using purposive sampling. The results show that students with a high level of deductive reasoning, coded as subject S1, achieved all indicators of deductive reasoning ability; students with a moderate level, coded as subject S2, met two indicators; and students with a low level, coded as subject S3, met only one indicator. The conclusion is that the higher a student's deductive reasoning ability, the more proficient they are in solving circle circumference problems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze elementary school students' attitudes toward nationalism, both in terms of understanding and implementation. This is a mixed-method study combining quantitative and qualitative data. The participants consisted of 54 fifth-grade students at SDN Kauman 1 in Malang City, selected using purposive sampling. The methods used to collect data included interviews, observations, and questionnaires. Students' understanding of nationalistic attitudes was found to be quite good; however, the implementation of these attitudes was still lacking. Students' understanding of nationalistic attitudes was assessed through a questionnaire consisting of 7 indicators with 15 statements, with 5 indicators receiving “strongly agree” responses from over 50% of participants. Furthermore, the implementation of nationalistic attitudes was obtained from observations during the learning process of the Pancasila education subject and interviews to reinforce the information found by the researcher during the observation. Further research can use the results of this study to develop learning media that are appropriate to the needs and actual conditions in the field, utilizing the results of the needs analysis conducted in this study.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between teaching style and students’ writing ability, focusing on the mediating role of feedback practice among tenth-grade EFL students at MA Bandung. Recognizing that effective writing instruction relies not only on the instructional methods used but also on how feedback is delivered, the research addresses ongoing challenges caused by inconsistent pedagogical and feedback practices in the classroom. A quantitative approach with a correlational  design was employed, involving 38 students who completed questionnaires on teaching style and feedback practice and participated in a standardized writing assessment. Data were analyzed using multiple regression and mediation tests to assess both direct and indirect effects. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between teaching style and feedback practice, and between teaching style and writing ability. However, feedback practice did not significantly mediate the relationship between teaching style and students' writing performance. These results suggest that while effective teaching promotes better feedback environments, feedback alone may not enhance writing outcomes unless it is clearly communicated and well-integrated into instruction. The study underscores the importance of adopting teaching style and feedback practice and enhancing the quality not just the quantity of feedback in EFL writing instruction.

Abstract

Rapid technological advances in education have increased student engagement, but some schools still struggle with optimal understanding of mathematical concepts, which impacts learning outcomes. The purpose of this study was to create and evaluate web-based learning multimedia that can improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts. We conducted research and development involving fourth-grade elementary school students. A small-scale trial with six students aimed to observe student responses to the use of web-based learning multimedia in mathematics. Meanwhile, large-scale trials were conducted in three elementary schools with a total of 69 students. Validation involved media and design experts as well as material experts. Data were analyzed quantitatively using percentages and the Wilcoxon test. Interview results revealed a conventional learning process with minimal student participation and limited use of technology. Students tended to be more interested in the use of interactive media, such as videos and images, in the learning process. The results of media validation showed a very good validity level (96.25%), and material validation also showed a very high validity level (90.1%). The measurement results showed that teachers and students responded well, with a percentage above 80%. It indicates that the web-based learning multimedia is very practical. Effectiveness analysis indicates that the developed product effectively improves elementary school students' understanding of mathematical concepts (sig. < 0.05). This study concludes that the developed product, namely web-based learning multimedia, meets the standards of validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving elementary school students' understanding of mathematical concepts.
