Abstract

Indonesian students’ scientific literacy remains relatively low, as indicated by PISA results, which placed Indonesia among the bottom 10 countries, and AKMI data shows that 51% of madrasah students are at the "basic" level. This study aims to develop scientific literacy-based Student Worksheets (LKPD) on classifying living organisms for learning. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D) using the 3D model, which includes the Define, Design, and Develop stages. The research subjects included material and media expert validators, a class X biology teacher, and 25 class X students at MAN 1 Bandung. The instruments used were validation sheets, readability questionnaires, and student response questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative and quantitative approaches with the help of a Likert scale. The results showed that the developed LKPD is feasible for use, with material expert validation at 85.556% (highly valid), media expert validation at 72.25% (valid), teacher readability at 80.80% (easy to understand), student readability at 85.35% (easy to understand), and student responses at 86% (highly positive). Therefore, the scientific literacy-based LKPD on the classification of living organisms is suitable for use and can serve as effective teaching material to support the learning process.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the PQ4R learning model on students’ learning outcomes at the cognitive levels of analysis (C4) and evaluation (C5). Employing a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental posttest-only control group design, Samples were selected through simple random sampling. Class VIII.1 was assigned as the experimental group receiving the PQ4R learning model, while class VIII.7 served as the control group with conventional instruction. The research instrument was a 15-item multiple-choice test validated for validity and reliability. Data analysis began with assumption testing for normality and homogeneity. Levene’s test indicated an F-value of 1.184 with a significance of 0.281, confirming homogeneity of variance between groups. The hypothesis was tested using an independent samples t-test, yielding a t-value of 5.343 with 59 degrees of freedom and a significance level of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the groups’ mean scores. The mean difference of 1.62366 with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1.01309 to 2.23168 further supports this result. These findings conclude that the PQ4R learning model significantly improves students’ analytical and evaluative thinking skills. Therefore, the PQ4R model is recommended as an effective instructional strategy for enhancing higher-order cognitive learning outcomes.

Abstract

Test anxiety often appears in EFL students, especially in online assessments. The difficulties and anxiety associated with online testing must be taken into account when examining the impact of anxiety in technology-based assessments on EFL students. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of anxiety in technology-based assessment on EFL students. This study also explores the students’ perspective on the connection between the uses of technology in assessment and anxiety. The researchers use qualitative research as the method of the research. This research was conducted at one of the universities in Yogyakarta. The interviews were conducted with four students from the second semester in-depth interview. In general, it is found that students tend to view online tests positively, perceiving them as a flexible and practical method of assessment. However, the findings also indicate that online test anxiety has a negative impact on the academic performance of EFL students and contributes to their perception of online assessments. It has been established that students experiencing high levels of anxiety may impair their reasoning and abstract thinking abilities, which can have a significant effect on the students’ academic performance.

Abstract

The ability to think creatively in mathematics is a crucial aspect that must be possessed by students, so that they can face the dynamics of change and challenges in life that continues to develop. Graded Response Models (GRM) is one of the models of the modern approach of Item Response Theory (IRT) to polytomus data. Graded Response Models (GRM) are used to estimate students' test item ability and mathematical creative thinking skills. This research is a type of quantitative research with an ex post facto method. This study uses the responses of Junior High School (SMP) Class VIII students in the North Bahar sub-district, Muaro Jambi Regency. A total of 120 grade VIII students spread across 4 State Junior High Schools in the sub-district were the subjects of this study. The instrument used was a test instrument for students' mathematical creative thinking skills amounting to 2 questions with each question having 4 indicators of mathematical creative thinking ability. The data was analyzed using the GRM approach using the help of Parscale 4.1 software. Based on the results of data analysis, the results of estimating the ability parameter (θ) of mathematical creative thinking are mostly at medium ability. This can be seen from the histogram of the results of estimating the parameters of mathematical creative thinking ability, most students are in the range of -1 to 1.

Abstract

Sexual violence in higher education remains a critical threat to student safety and institutional integrity. Yet, preventive strategies particularly academic and social sanctions have received limited empirical scrutiny from the student perspective. This study investigates students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of such sanctions in preventing campus sexual violence. Utilizing a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. Quantitative results reveal strong support for academic sanctions, including scholarship revocation (92.21%), suspension (88.31%), and expulsion (85.06%). Likewise, students endorse social sanctions such as public apologies, organizational exclusion, and the disclosure of perpetrators’ identities, seen as morally pressuring and socially stigmatizing. Thematic analysis of qualitative data highlights that students view sanctions as part of a broader institutional protection system one that hinges on safe reporting mechanisms, transparent procedures, and gender equality education. However, concerns persist over the inconsistency of institutional enforcement. The findings suggest that effective sexual violence prevention requires a multidimensional strategy combining regulatory discipline, cultural transformation, and participatory education. Methodologically, this study contributes through its triangulated approach, and theoretically, it affirms the dual function of sanctions as both deterrent and normative instruments in fostering a safer, more accountable academic environment.
