Abstract

Mathematics has an instrumental function in enhancing the quality of Indonesian citizens. However, as science and technology progress and the digital age intensifies, it has become imperative to modify the mathematical learning paradigm to align it with the demands of the 21st century. The research objectives were to ascertain the following: The study sought to answer three research questions(1) the difference in the improvement of mathematical critical thinking ability of students who are given problem-based learning with students who are given direct learning; (2) the interaction of learning with initial mathematics ability on the improvement of students' mathematical critical thinking ability; (3) the difference in the improvement of learning independence of students who are given problem-based learning with students who are given direct learning. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows: (1) students who received problem-based learning exhibited a greater improvement in their mathematical critical thinking abilities than those who received direct learning; (2) there was no interaction between learning and initial mathematical ability on the improvement of mathematical critical thinking abilities; (3) students who received problem-based learning demonstrated a greater improvement in their learning independence than those who received direct learning.

Abstract

Corruption is a reality of human conduct in social interactions, considered to be deviating and endangering society and the state. The research conducted is normative-legal, that is, research that uses law as a basis for solving the problems posed, and empirical-legal research through the conduct of interviews. The data used is secondary data and the data collection methods used in this study are library surveys and field surveys. The analysis of data used is qualitative data. Based on the findings, it is believed that the Anti-Corruption Commission can only investigate cases of corruption offenses that have affected state apparatus and have resulted in state financial losses of at least billion rupiah, for this reason the role of prosecutors as investigators in criminal cases is required. Corruption that does not meet the requirements for investigation by the Anti-Corruption Commission. Legal and Non-Judicial Constraints Are Limiting Factors in Corruption Crimes Investigations

Abstract

Social skills are very important for the development of elementary school children. Traditional play therapy offers an alternative method for education that has the potential to improve social skills through group interactions and real-life experiences. This is different from the conventional approach which often centers on academic aspects. The aim of this study was to evaluate how effective traditional play therapy is in improving the social skills of children in elementary school and compare it with more conventional methods. This is the experimental design used for this study with a control group. Children in elementary school are divided into two groups. The experimental group received traditional play therapy, while the control group carried out routine activities. Data was collected through teacher observations, assessments, and social skills questionnaires before and after six weeks of intervention. The results of the analysis showed that, compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significant improvements in social skills. Communication, cooperation and conflict resolution show improvement. These results indicate that traditional play therapy is effective in improving the social skills of elementary school children. According to this research, traditional play therapy can be included in the school curriculum as a tool to improve social skills in a comprehensive and enjoyable way.

Abstract

Educational innovation continues to develop with advances in digital technology, including the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in learning. This research aims to measure the effectiveness of AR-based mathematics books (MathAR Book) on students' mathematical understanding. MathAR Book integrates traditional learning content with AR elements such as 3D visualization and interactive animations to increase student interest and engagement in learning mathematics. This research methodology uses a quasi-experimental approach with a pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of class XII students who were randomly selected and divided into an experimental group that used the MathAR Book and a control group that used conventional textbooks. The instruments used include tests of understanding mathematical concepts, learning motivation questionnaires, and in-depth interviews. The results showed a significant increase in students' mathematical understanding in the experimental group compared to the control group. MathAR Book students also showed increased learning motivation and concept visualization abilities. Student feedback indicates that AR creates a more engaging and effective learning environment. In conclusion, the MathAR Book effectively improves students' mathematical understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of learning styles on the learning outcomes of students of the second semester of the Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program, UHKBPNP. This study is a quantitative study that is correlational in nature, which involves a variable that is related between one variable and another. Location of the study This research will be conducted at HKBP Nommensen University, PEmatangsiantar on students of the second semester of the Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program. The data collection technique used is the Learning Style Questionnaire and Documentation. The data analysis technique uses statistical data with the product moment correlation formula, namely the correlation test used to determine the degree of closeness of the relationship between 2 variables with interval and ratio scales. In testing this prerequisite test, IBM SPSS is used. The results of the calculation of the analysis of variance on the differences in social studies learning outcomes between students who have a visual learning style and an auditory learning style with an average = 76.28 and = 70.35. Based on F h = 64.80 and the table value for a= 0.05 with dk (1) it is obtained F t = 3.97 so that it can be stated that F h (64.80) > F t (3.97). Thus the research findings conclude the research hypothesis which states: the learning outcomes of social studies students who have a visual learning style are higher than the learning outcomes of students who have an auditory learning style at a confidence level a= 0.05 has been proven to be true.

Abstract

This study analyzes students' perceptions of using Quizizz as an interactive mathematics learning media in the classroom. Quizizz media was chosen because Quizizz is the most popular among teachers and students. Using a quantitative descriptive method, the study involved 60 grade X high school students who had used Quizizz. Data were collected through a Likert-scale-based closed questionnaire, measuring ease of use, learning benefits, and student engagement. The analysis showed that students had positive perceptions of Quizizz, with 80% stating that the platform was easy to use, 75% feeling that Quizizz helped them understand the material, and 70% feeling more motivated. Linear regression tests showed a significant relationship between ease of use, learning benefits, and student engagement in learning motivation. Most students felt more active and motivated while using Quizizz, most likely due to the competitive elements such as the leaderboard and point system. These elements not only boost students' intrinsic motivation but also generate extrinsic motivation through healthy competition among students. The more positive students' perceptions of Quizizz, especially in ease of use and learning benefits, the higher their motivation to participate in the learning process. This study concluded that Quizizz is an effective mathematics learning media, improves learning outcomes, and motivates students to be more actively involved in learning.
