Abstract

Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a form of problem-based learning that is given to students to apply knowledge to issues or problems as a form of problem solving. Its integration with the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach can train students to apply their knowledge in making designs as a form of problem solving related to the environment using technology. The purpose of writing this article is to find out the improvement, response and impact of students' curiosity by using the STEM-PBL learning model in science class. The method used is content analysis, with the principles of Preferred Reporting Items For Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis (PRISMA). Based on the results of this study, it shows that students' curiosity towards STEM PBL in science classes shows significant results overall because the application of hands-on activities as a learning strategy is able to form various skills and provide positive results and even increase.

Abstract

The general background of this research is the limited teaching materials equipped with project-based learning assessment instruments as recommended in Kurikulum Merdeka. The purpose of this research is to produce a Project Based Learning (PjBL) based e-module on the structure and function of living creatures topic that is valid, practical and effective.The type of research used is Research and Development (R&D) with 4-D model’s consisting of the stages of defining, designing, developing and disseminating. However, this research was only untill the development stage due to time constraints. The research instruments consist of teacher questionnaires, student questionnaires, validity test questionnaires, practicality test questionnaires, and effectiveness test questionnaires. The data obtained was analyzed using a formula to analyze the results of validity, practicality and effectiveness tests. The research results show that the PjBL-based e-module developed is valid with an average 88%. The level of practicality is practical with an average 88%. The level of effectiveness is effective which is 84% ​​on average. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the PjBL-based science learning e-module on the material Structure and Function of the Body of Living Creatures meets the valid, practical and effective categories.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyse the need for the development of science e-comic as learning media on earth and solar system topic. This research was conducted in 3 junior high schools in Sutera sub-district, based on the results of observations it is known that the school applies the kurikulum merdeka, and uses lecture and discussion methods in the learning process. However, there are obstacles that must be faced by teachers, namely the current package books/printed books are quite limited, so students have enough difficulty if they want to repeat learning material at home. This type of research is Research and Development (R&D) using the 4-D development model. This research instrument consists of a validation questionnaire, a practicality questionnaire, and an effectiveness questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using a formula to analyze the results of the validity test, practicality test, and effectiveness test. Based on the above problems, researchers found the right and appropriate media to be developed and can be used easily by students and teachers, namely problem-based science e-comic learning media on earth and solar system material.

Abstract

The Curriculum in Indonesia has two elements in science learning, namely understanding science which is related to high-level thinking skills and process skills as an effort to hone thinking skills in investigation or research. In science learning, process skills that can be assessed are known as science process skills. Student need to have Science Process Skills (SPS) as preparation for facing the realities of life, so that student s are trained to think logically to solve problems.  The research aims to measure students mastery of science process skills in general and differences in mastery of science process skills based on gender in mixed compound element material in class VIII SMP IT Dar El Iman Padang. This research is quantitative research with a descriptive survey. The sample selection used a total sampling technique, namely 4 classes. Data collection techniques were carried out by assessing student worksheets and written tests. The research results show that students’ mastery of science process skills has varying averages. The lowest mastery of SPS indicators is the hypothesis indicator with a percentage of 36,9% in the poor category and the highest indicator is the prediction indicator at 85.7% in the very good category. Based on gender, female students SPS mastery is better with a percentage 69.7 % in good category than male students with a percentage 58.0% in sufficient category. Overall, students mastery of science process skills is categorized as good at 63,3%.
