Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of KKNI block system learning on the learning outcomes of Office Administration Education students of stambuk 2024 at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Medan. KKNI block system learning is an intensive learning model where students focus on one subject for a short period, enabling better concentration and mastery of material. The study employed library research and quantitative methods with a questionnaire distributed via Google Form to 30 purposively sampled students. The simple regression analysis showed a positive and significant relationship between student learning outcomes and the effectiveness of KKNI block system learning. The constant value indicated that factors other than learning outcomes also influenced the learning system. The coefficient implied that for every one-unit increase in learning outcomes, the KKNI block system's learning effectiveness improved by 0.6902 units. The findings support that enhanced student competencies strengthen the successful implementation of KKNI-based learning. The study recommends improving system block implementation by considering student readiness, learning facilities, and lecturer support. Further research should incorporate broader samples and additional variables such as learning motivation and academic stress levels.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the predominance of conventional assessment methods that often reduce students’ enthusiasm and motivation in participating in Biology learning evaluations. One alternative technology-based assessment medium is Quizizz (Wayground), which offers interactive features and gamification elements. This study aimed to describe students’ perceptions of the use of Quizizz as an assessment medium on the Ecosystem topic in Class X-6 of SMA Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving five students of Class X-6 and one Biology teacher as informants. Data were collected through structured interviews and questionnaires covering five indicators: ease of use, student satisfaction, student activeness, mastery of learning material, and learning motivation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that Quizizz received positive responses from both students and the teacher. Quizizz was perceived as easy to use, capable of increasing student satisfaction and activeness during assessments, supporting mastery of learning materials through immediate feedback, and enhancing learning motivation through game features, scoring systems, and leaderboards. Therefore, Quizizz (Wayground) can be utilized as an interactive, engaging, and effective assessment medium to support the Biology learning process.

Abstract

Biology learning in senior high schools is often limited to theoretical and text-based approaches, making it difficult for students to connect scientific concepts with real-life issues. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of the Augmented Reality (AR)-based Socio-scientific Issues (SSI) approach in biology learning in Class X-2 of SMA Negeri 1 Angkola Timur, examine the use of AR as a supporting medium for SSI, and identify its impact on students' engagement and critical thinking skills. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a biology teacher as the primary informant and questionnaires administered to five students as key informants. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation and researcher triangulation. The findings revealed that the SSI approach was implemented through five stages: introducing the topic, eliciting students’ initial opinions, conducting in-depth exploration of the material, evaluation, and collaborative decision-making. The integration of AR enabled the visualization of biological objects in three-dimensional forms, which increased students’ enthusiasm, participation, and understanding of abstract concepts. Overall, the AR-based SSI approach created a more contextual, interactive, and meaningful learning environment. The study implies the importance of enhancing teachers’ competencies in utilizing AR technology and providing adequate digital infrastructure in schools.

Abstract

Junior high school students' mathematical problem-solving ability in Indonesia remains relatively low, partly because conventional, teacher-centered instruction rarely gives students the opportunity to construct their own understanding through real, contextual problems. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on students' mathematical problem-solving ability compared to conventional learning. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group was employed, involving 64 eighth-grade students from a public junior high school, divided into an experimental class that received PBL and a control class that received conventional learning. Data were collected using a validated mathematical problem-solving test administered as a pretest and posttest, then analyzed using an independent samples t-test after normality and homogeneity assumptions were satisfied. The results showed that the average posttest score of the experimental class (78.6) was significantly higher than that of the control class (61.4), with a t-value of 6.42 and a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The N-gain analysis further indicated that the increase in problem-solving ability in the experimental class fell into the moderate-to-high category, whereas the control class remained in the low-to-moderate category. These findings indicate that the implementation of Problem-Based Learning effectively improves junior high school students' mathematical problem-solving ability, particularly in the aspects of understanding the problem, devising a strategy, and evaluating the solution. Teachers are encouraged to consider PBL as an alternative learning model to develop students' higher-order thinking skills in mathematics.

Abstract

Mathematical creative thinking is an essential competence that needs to be developed from elementary school because students are expected to generate ideas, use various strategies, and develop innovative solutions to mathematical problems. However, mathematics learning is still frequently conducted through routine classroom activities that provide limited opportunities for students to explore mathematical concepts in real contexts. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Outdoor Mathematics Learning assisted by MathCityMap in improving elementary students' mathematical creative thinking skills. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The participants consisted of 45 fifth-grade students at SD Bethany Medan, comprising 25 students in the experimental group and 20 students in the control group. Data were collected using a mathematical creative thinking test covering fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, independent sample t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the experimental group obtained a higher posttest mean score of 84.73 than the control group, which obtained 72.15. The independent sample t-test resulted in Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. The N-Gain analysis also showed that the experimental group achieved a high category, while the control group achieved a moderate category. These findings indicated that Outdoor Mathematics Learning assisted by MathCityMap was effective in improving students' mathematical creative thinking skills by integrating real-world contexts, mathematical exploration, collaboration, and digital technology.

Abstract

Generation Z demonstrates a high level of interest in healthy lifestyles and fitness, including efforts to shape their appearance and achieve an ideal body standard. The desire to have a body that conforms to these standards may contribute to the development of a positive body image. However, it may also lead to dissatisfaction and concerns about appearance when individuals perceive their bodies as not meeting their expectations. This study aimed to describe the body image of Generation Z who are Fitness Enthusiasts. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach, involving a population of Generation Z Fitness Enthusiasts and a sample of 117 respondents selected using convenience sampling. The body image instrument was developed based on the five aspects of Cash's (2002) theory and demonstrated Corrected Item-Total Correlation values ranging from 0.304 to 0.629, with a reliability coefficient of α = 0.825. The results showed that 62 respondents (53.0%) had a relatively positive body image, while 55 respondents (47.0%) had a relatively negative body image. These findings indicate that respondents with a relatively positive body image were slightly more numerous than those with a relatively negative body image. The findings further suggest that active involvement in fitness does not necessarily result in a positive body image, and that body image among fitness-active young adults remains a multidimensional and heterogeneous experience

Abstract

Generation Z employees are the workforce group with the highest job mobility compared to other generations. This tendency is driven by dissatisfaction with their work environment as well as the desire to achieve better career opportunities. One of the factors influencing their intention to change jobs is the pursuit of work-life balance. This study aimed to examine the relationship between work-life balance and job hopping motives among Generation Z employees. The study employed a quantitative method with a correlational approach. The sample consisted of 150 Generation Z employees aged 18–29 years, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Work-Life Balance Scale based on the theory of Fisher et al. (2009) and the Job-Hopping Motives Scale (JHMS) adapted from Lake et al. (2017). Content validity was assessed using Aiken's V coefficient, with all 11 work-life balance items and 10 job hopping motives items obtaining values of ≥ 0.70. The reliability coefficients were 0.814 for the work-life balance scale and 0.864 for the job hopping motives scale. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test. The results revealed a significant negative correlation of low strength between work-life balance and job hopping motives (p = 0.007; r = −0.219), indicating that the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was accepted. These findings suggest that higher levels of work-life balance among Generation Z employees are associated with lower job hopping motives. Conversely, lower levels of work-life balance are associated with higher job hopping motives.

Abstract

The job of a firefighter carries high and dangerous risks, yet there are still some firefighters who remain loyal, dedicated, and enthusiastic in helping the community. They demonstrate optimal work engagement, allowing them to continue performing their duties effectively. One of the factors related to work engagement is the meaning of work, which is viewing one's job as valuable, meaningful, and contributing to one's own life as well as society. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between the meaning of work and work engagement among firefighters in DKI Jakarta. The research method used is quantitative with a correlational research design. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling of the purposive sampling type, with a research sample of 153 firefighters who meet the criteria of having a minimum work experience of 5 years and being field officers. The measurement tools used are the Work As Meaning Inventory (WAMI) scale to measure work meaning and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) to measure work engagement. Content validity was assessed using Aiken’s V coefficient, with 15 work engagement items and 9 work meaning items obtaining a value >0.70. The reliability of the work meaning scale was 0.883 and the work engagement scale was 0.813. The data analysis technique in this study uses normality tests and non-parametric correlation tests. Thus, the results obtained were (p = 0.000; r = 0.649), H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. The research results indicate that there is a positive relationship between the meaning of work and work engagement among firefighters in DKI Jakarta. The value of the correlation coefficient indicates a strong relationship, meaning that the higher the work meaning felt by the officers, the higher their work engagement. Conversely, if the work meaning is lower, the work engagement tends to be lower as well.
