Abstract

This research aimed to develop song-based video clip learning media to support the teaching of the classification of living things for seventh-grade students. The study was conducted at SMP Negeri 11 Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands Province, during the 2024/2025 academic year and involved 30 Grade VII students. The research used a Research and Development (R&D) approach employing the 4D model, which consists of four stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The validation results showed that the material aspect obtained a score of 91%, categorized as very valid. The media aspect reached 79%, and the music aspect obtained 90%, both of which were also classified as very valid. The practicality test indicated that the teacher response reached 88%, while the students’ responses reached 96%, demonstrating that the developed learning media are very practical for use in classroom learning. The effectiveness test using the N-Gain analysis produced a score of 0.77, which is included in the high category. In addition, students’ interest in the use of the learning media reached 92%, indicating a very high level of interest. These findings show that the song-based video clip learning media developed in this study are valid, practical, and effective for supporting science learning on the topic of the classification of living things at the junior high school level.

Abstract

Students’ low academic achievement and limited environmental awareness suggest that biology instruction has not yet fully supported the development of both conceptual understanding and environmental responsibility. In many cases, learning also remains disconnected from students’ local contexts, particularly from Traditional Ecological Knowledge(TEK), which can make scientific concepts feel less meaningful and relevant to their everyday lives. Addressing this gap requires learning approaches that are both contextual and engaging. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impact of integrating TEK into the Problem Solving model on students’ learning outcomes and environmental awareness. This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a post-test only control group design. The sample consisted of two groups of 10th-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Payakumbuh, namely an experimental class and a control class. The instruments used included a learning outcome test and an environmental awareness questionnaire, both of which had been validated. Data were analyzed using independent sample t-tests and descriptive analysis. The results showed that students in the experimental class achieved higher average learning outcomes (83.69) compared to those in the control class (78.57), with a statistically significant difference at the 0.05 level (t-calculated = 2.45 > t-table = 1.67). In terms of environmental awareness, students in the experimental class also demonstrated higher scores, particularly in the knowledge aspect (81.80 vs. 73.37) and critical awareness (73.85 vs. 67.24). However, improvements in the attitude and behavior aspects were relatively modest. These findings suggest that integrating TEK into the Problem Solving model can effectively enhance students’ cognitive outcomes and their critical awareness of environmental issues. Nevertheless, fostering changes in environmental attitudes and behaviors may require more sustained and long-term educational interventions.
