Abstract

Background: The low student learning outcomes in science subjects are influenced by both internal and external factors. Student perceptions of teaching styles and learning motivation are crucial external and internal factors, respectively. Aims: This study aims to determine the relationship between student perceptions of teacher teaching styles and learning motivation on cognitive learning outcomes in seventh-grade science at SMP Negeri 1 Bangil. Methods: An ex-post facto correlational design was used with a population of 360 students and a sample of 186 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using simple linear and multiple linear regression with SPSS-25. Results: The study found a positive and significant relationship between student motivation and cognitive learning outcomes. While student perception of teacher teaching styles showed a relationship with cognitive learning outcomes, the results of the hypothesis test show a contradiction between the partial and simultaneous findings, where perception of teaching styles was not found to have a significant partial effect but had a significant simultaneous effect when combined with learning motivation. Novelty: This study provides unique insights into the relationship between teaching style perception, motivation, and learning outcomes within the specific context of a junior high school in Bangil, highlighting the need for teachers to develop engaging and motivating learning strategies. Implications: The findings suggest that teachers should develop engaging and motivating teaching strategies to improve student learning outcomes. Future research is needed to explore other factors influencing learning outcomes to provide a more comprehensive understanding. Highlights : The study found a positive and significant relationship between student motivation and cognitive learning outcomes. Student perceptions of teaching styles did not have a significant partial effect on learning outcomes. However, when combined with motivation, perceptions of teaching styles had a significant simultaneous effect on learning outcomes.

Abstract

General Background: The Pancasila student profile is a crucial element designed to foster desired competencies and strengthen students' internal understanding of diversity in the Indonesian education system. Specific Background: The P5 project reinforces the application of this profile throughout the learning process. Knowledge Gap: While P5 is widely implemented, there is a need to understand how these learning activities specifically affect students' social-emotional intelligence. Aims: This research aims to determine the effectiveness of P5 learning activities and their impact on students' social-emotional intelligence. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Results: The P5 learning, as delivered by the teacher, was well-executed and aligned with the teaching module. However, the program did not yield results that met the criteria for social-emotional intelligence. Novelty & Implications: This finding highlights a discrepancy between the implementation of P5 and its intended social-emotional outcomes, suggesting that while the program is well-structured, its practical application may not be fully optimized to develop students' social-emotional skills. Highlights : P5 implementation at SDN Candipari 1 was well-executed and aligned with the teaching module. The P5 learning activities did not produce results consistent with the criteria for social-emotional intelligence. The research used a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, gathering data through interviews, questionnaires, and documentation.
