Abstract

This research was conducted to overcome the problem of low student learning motivation in Informatics subjects at SMPN 2 Hu'u which is often caused by conventional learning methods and limitations of interactive media. The purpose of this research is to develop Scratch-based interactive learning media that is able to increase student motivation and involvement in the learning process. This development follows the ADDIE model which consists of Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, expert validation, and practicality questionnaires involving teachers and students. The results of expert validation showed that the media was in the very feasible category with an overall score above 80 percent, while the practicality test showed a positive response from both teachers and students with an average score above 85 percent. These findings prove that Scratch-based media is not only feasible and practical but also effective in creating a fun and interactive learning atmosphere. In conclusion, the media developed in this study can be considered as an innovative solution to increase students' motivation to learn and improve the quality of Informatics education in schools

Abstract

Teachers have not yet fully utilized technology-based media and innovative learning approaches, which has contributed to low student achievement. This study aimed to develop, validate, and evaluate the effectiveness of interactive multimedia designed with a Problem-Based Learning approach and enhanced by Liveworksheets to improve fifth-grade students’ IPAS learning outcomes. The research applied a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model as the framework. The participants were 21 fifth-grade students from State Elementary School (SDN) 1 Bawu Jepara. Data were collected through tests and non-test techniques, including observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The findings revealed that: (1) the developed multimedia included a main menu, user guide, learning materials, games, Liveworksheets-based assessments, and references; (2) its feasibility was rated very high by experts, teachers, and students; and (3) the product was proven effective in improving students’ engagement and learning outcomes. Therefore, the interactive multimedia developed in this study is both feasible and effective as a tool to enhance IPAS learning for elementary school students.

Abstract

This study aims to examine strategies to improve graduate quality through the vocational program at MAN 2 Majalengka. Using a qualitative approach with a naturalistic inquiry method, the research was conducted at MAN 2 Majalengka, Majalengka Regency, West Java, during the odd semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, from July 2024 to April 2025. Data were collected through observation, interviews, document analysis, and literature review. The findings show the vocational program positively influences students’ work readiness and competitiveness. Planning is conducted systematically and collaboratively, involving the school management team, vocational teachers, and industry partners. The curriculum is developed based on labor market demands and student interests. Implementation includes theoretical and practical learning at school, combined with internships in industry, with active support from teachers and instructors. The program’s success is strengthened by cooperation among the principal, vice principals, vocational teachers, industry partners, and parents. Evaluation is carried out through classroom monitoring, field practice, and feedback from industry partners. The impact is evident in the rising number of graduates continuing higher education or entering the workforce. Several alumni also succeeded in creating self-employment. These results confirm the vocational program bridges education and the labor market, thereby enhancing graduate quality significantly.

Abstract

This study aims to look at the effect of pictorial glossaries on the creative thinking abilities of class X students, SMAN 1 Teluk Kuantan on the subject of the Plant World. This type of research was quasi-experimental research. The study population was all high school grade X students as a hypothetical population. The research sample consisted of 67 people consisting of 33 students in class X MIPA 1 as a control class and 34 students in class X MIPA 2 as an experimental class. Data collection techniques used observation sheets. The result shows that average score of the creative thinking ability of the control class students obtained a mean of 64 with a moderate category while the experimental class obtained an average of 74 with a high category. This shows the influence of glossary media in the material world of plants in SMAN 1 Teluk Kuantan with a significant level of 0.05. Thus, there is an influence of the use of pictorial glossaries on the creative thinking abilities of the control class students with the experimental class on plant material in the learning process.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' critical thinking skill in exploiting covalent bond material. The method applied in this study was descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. It was conducted at one of high schools in Bandung were the participants were the tenth grade students’. The instruments used for data collection were audio, video and observation sheets. The collected data were analyzed using Transcript Based Lesson Analysis (TBLA). The results indicated that three out of twelve indicators of critical thinking skill had been identified in learning covalent bonds. The three indicators are formulating questions, answering the “why” questions, and identifying differences. The low achievement of critical thinking indicators was due to the method used in teaching which is still informative or transferring knowledge from teacher to student (teacher-centered) without giving sufficient time for students to reflect the material presented, link it with prior knowledge, or apply it in real life situations.

Abstract

The paper aims to investigate the association between students’ participation in Co-curricular Activities (CCAs) and their soft skill development. Moreover, the study attempts to find out whether the association between these two variables is statistically significant. The study reasonably employed survey method where primary data were collected from a total of 135 students who were sampled from 16 academic departments of a public university in Bangladesh based on non-probability sampling techniques. The study found that the students have developed diverse soft skills (which involve different personal skills and social skills) much via their participation in CCAs. The study observed that there is a moderate positive association between students’ participation in CCAs and their various personal and social skills excepting presentation skill, organizing skill and network-building skill in which strong positive association was found. Moreover, the study found that there is a significant association between students’ participation in CCAs and their diverse personal skills and social skills. Hence, the study argued that the association between students’ participation in CCAs and their soft skill development is statistically significant. Finally, the study suggested that the Government and the authority concerned should undertake suitable policy in order to utilize CCAs and thereby ensure quality education.
