Abstract

One of the criteria for good learning is learning that can give rise to positive student responses. The purpose of this study is to assess whether adopting problem-based learning with local potential in biodiversity materials increases students' motivation to learn. The research approach employed was a pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest. The population in this research was seventh-grade students, with a research sample of one class and a total of 33 students determined based on convenience sampling. The data collection instrument used the ARCS system learning interest questionnaire (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) developed by Keller (2000). The test result data was processed using the N-gain test and the Wilcoxon test. The results of the research show that students' overall interest in learning has increased by 0.34 in the medium category. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.00 <0.05, rejecting H0 and accepting Ha. Based on these findings, we may infer that the problem-based learning model with local potential is beneficial in enhancing students' interest in learning about biodiversity.

Abstract

Education in the current era must be able to adapt to the development of society and technology. One important aspect that needs to be developed is students' critical thinking skills. However, this ability is often not well trained, as seen from the results of pre-research on students at MAN 1 Tanggamus which showed a low category. The study aims to test the effect of the STEM-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) learning model on improving students' critical thinking skills. This study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group type. The study population included all students of class X MIA at MAN 1 Tanggamus, consisting of three classes. The sample was taken using the cluster random sampling method, where X MIA 2 was the experimental class and X MIA 1 was the control. Data were collected through interviews, documentation, and essay tests consisting of 15 questions. Data were calculated using the independent sample t-test. The research findings showed sig. = 0.00, which indicates that the STEM-based PjBL model has an impact on improving students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of the make-a-match learning model assisted by animation media on students' high-level thinking abilities on the human respiratory system material. This research was conducted from October 2023 to June 2024 at SMAN 18 Medan using a quasi-experimental method with a two group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique uses cluster random sampling. The experimental class XI MIA2 has 35 students and the control class XI MIA3 has 36 students. The research instrument used was the HOTs test in the form of multiple choices. The results showed that the average score for the experimental class was 82.40, while the average score for the control class was 69.33. Students who were taught using the make-a-match model assisted by animation media had higher average scores compared to students who were taught using the direct instruction learning model. Hypothesis testing with t-test statistics shows a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05. This shows that the make-a-match learning model assisted by animation media has a significant effect on students' HOTs in the human respiratory system material at SMAN 18 Medan.

Abstract

Apart from being used as a food ingredient, water purifier or cosmetic ingredient, the moringa plant can also be used as a health drink in the form of moringa tea. Other benefits of moringa leaves are as a chemopreventive, increasing the body's endurance, nutrition for the eyes and brain, eliminating signs of wrinkles on the face, and as an antioxidant. However, unfortunately not all people know about the benefits of the moringa plant as a nutritious plant. This article is a literature review to analyze the benefits of moringa leaves as a health drink. The results of the literature analysis that has been carried out show that the moringa plant contains a number of important nutrients that are needed for body health.  The nutrients in moringa include vitamin C which is equivalent to seven times that of oranges, calcium equivalent to four times and protein equivalent to twice that of milk, vitamin A equivalent to four times that of carrots, and potassium equivalent to three times that of bananas. Apart from that, it also contains high levels of antioxidants, so the Moringa plant is very important for warding off free radicals. Several research results have found that moringa leaf extract can reduce blood glucose levels in white mice. People can be encouraged to use the moringa plant in their daily lives. Based on the explanation in this article, people can cultivate the use of moringa leaves as a drink to overcome health problems. Through the development of moringa plants as a typical plant and raw material for herbal tea in the Central Sulawesi area, communities can be empowered to utilize empty land to plant Moringa.

Abstract

In the application of discovery learning in the classroom, the main source of science information is not the teacher, but various other sources that can be easily accessed by students. Learning sources that can be flexibly accessed by students are Google sites. This study was conducted to analyze how the implementation of discovery learning and Google sites in learning the formation of human urine. The research was conducted in one of the high schools in Malang. The students involved were grade XI. Data were collected through observation, teacher reflection sheets, learning implementation sheets (student and teacher activities), and student response questionnaires. The research data were narrated based on observations and learning implementation and student responses were calculated using percentages. The research findings show that the implementation of discovery learning and Google sites in learning the formation of human urine has changed the learning conditions of students for the better. High school students can actively answer teacher questions, are able to work on student worksheets, can work together well, discuss actively and draw conclusions. Google sites are a medium that can help students to find information related to the learning being carried out. Student responses related to learning scored 78.95 which is included in the good category. Collaborative activities among students can run well. Students agree that they do not forget the responsibilities given by their group to each individual.

Abstract

This study compares the effectiveness of Google Classroom and WhatsApp in enhancing biology interest among university students in southeast Nigeria. A quasi-experimental, specific, non-randomized pre-test and post-test compare group design was used. The population comprised 252-year undergraduate biology education students from the five Federal Universities in South-East Nigeria, out of which 118 (70 male and 182 female) students were purposively sampled from two universities. The instrument used for data collection was the Biology Interest Inventory (BII). Mean and standard deviation were used to address the research questions, whereas ANCOVA was utilized to evaluate the hypothesis. Results showed that students instructed using Google Classroom instruction had higher mean interest scores than their counterparts taught using WhatsApp instruction. Although female students were found to have slightly higher interest than males on the test of significance, gender was found not to have a significant influence on students' mean interest scores. Implying that both instructions enhance students' interest irrespective of gender. Similarly, no interaction effect of instructional strategies and gender on students' interest in basic biology was found. It was recommended that training programs should be implemented to ensure both students and instructors are proficient in using these platforms to their full potential.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are the ability to interpret, reason, and evaluate information in order to make the right decisions. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Pj4CS (Integrated Project-Based and 4C-Scaffolding) learning model on students' critical thinking skills. This is a quasi-experimental study, with a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The research instrument includes valid and reliable critical thinking skills test questions. The results of the study showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value <0.05, so the research hypothesis was accepted. This means that there is a significant effect of the Pj4CS learning model on the critical thinking skills of class XI students at SMA Negeri 5 Kota Ternate. The Pj4CS model can be used by teachers as an alternative in strengthening students' critical thinking skills and preparing them to face the challenges of the 21st century. These results are expected to contribute to improving the quality of learning in the classroom.

Abstract

Papua, which is known to be rich in local wisdom, has great potential in environmental conservation if supported by a strong conservative attitude from its citizens. This research aims to determine the influence of problem-based student books integrated with Papuan local wisdom on the conservation attitudes of class VII junior high school students. This research is experimental research conducted at junior high schools in the Tanah Merah area of Bintuni Bay. In this study, the sample used was class VII, consisting of 38 students. There were 19 students in the control and experimental classes each. A conservation attitude questionnaire was used to measure students' conservation attitudes. Data were analyzed using the t test. The results show that problem-based student books integrated with Papuan local wisdom have a better effect than the control class. Local wisdom adds to students' information regarding the management of endemic organisms where they live. The problem of extinction in PBL learning empowers students to think about how to conserve organisms so that extinction factors that influence the classification of living things can be prevented.
