Abstract

This study determined the enhancement of students' conceptual understanding in science through subject-based learning in ethno-edutainment and to identify aspects of ethno-edutainment that improve students' conceptual understanding of subject-based learning. It employed a mixed method with a sequential explanatory design variant that combines quantitative and qualitative data. Data gathering techniques in this study consisted of a quantitative data testing technique with analysis using normality gains tests and interviews and a qualitative data observation technique with qualitative descriptive analysis. The analysis of four primary schools in Kudus province showed that students' average conceptual comprehension ability rose from the starting value of 63.4 to 86.7, so the interpretation of learning improvement was moderate.The study concluded that there was moderate improvement among the four primary schools in Kudus Province and that students had average conceptual comprehension. Furthermore, respondents showed appreciation for gamification elements and already had knowledge of the local culture.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes by using the cooperative learning model of The Power of Two type. Based on these objectives, this research uses Classroom Action Research (CAR). This research was conducted at SMPN 31 Medan which is located at Jl. Jamin Ginting Km.13, Lau Cih, Kec.Medan Tuntungan, Medan City, North Sumatra 20137. The cycle in this study consisted of four steps, namely planning (plan), action (action), observation (observation), and reflection (reflection). . The steps in the next cycle are planning that has been revised, action, observation, and reflection. Before entering the cycle, I take preliminary action in the form of problem assistance. Student learning outcomes have increased through the application of the Cooperative learning model type power of two, this is obtained based on student learning outcomes tests that have been carried out in the initial test, cycle I to cycle II.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse the English reading materials currently used by non-English major students and evaluate the extent to which they incorporate microlearning and problem-solving skills. The study was conducted at a public university in Bogor, Indonesia. The research utilized qualitative content analysis to examine a set of existing learning materials, consisting of a coursebook, PowerPoint slides, explainer videos, and infographics. Interviews with five English instructors were also conducted to explore the needs of learning materials further. The findings reveal a gap between the current materials and the descriptors of microlearning and problem-solving. Therefore, it indicates an urgency of developing new English reading materials that promote problem-solving and incorporate microlearning to facilitate the needs of non-English major students better.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Massive Open Online Course in Elementary Statistics (MOOC – ES) in the performance of students in Statistics under the Bachelor of Secondary Education program. Using true experimental research design, this study described the performance of two groups of students in Statistics before and after a series of instruction using pre-test and post-test design and test whether there is significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups of subjects. This study was conducted in Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology and selected 1st Year BSE students (50) for A.Y 2020-2021 served as subjects. The subjects were statistically divided into the controlled and experimental group based on their problem-solving skills in General Mathematics. The experimental group used the MOOC while the controlled group used a series of module. Significant differences within and between groups were analyzed using T-test for dependent and independent sample respectively. After applying these statistical treatments, the following conclusions were drawn: a) There is no significant difference in the problem-solving skills of subjects under the Controlled group in the pre – test and post-test, and b) There is a significant difference in the problem-solving skills of subjects under the Experimental group in the pre – test and post-test. Also, There is a significant difference in the problem-solving skills of the students between the two groups after instruction. Furthermore, a specific and concrete format and guidelines of MOOCs to be developed by the College was crafted.

Abstract

This research study developed a business framework or model for the enhancement of the business performance of small-scale businesses in Ragay, Camarines Sur which were assisted through micro- financing specifically the following were looked into first, the description of  small-scale businesses in terms of line of business, capitalization and micro- financing availment. Second, the impact of microfinancing on these businesses along the aspects of liquidity, inventory turnover and return on investments. Both qualitative and quantitative technique were used in the study. In using qualitative method an interview guide was utilized and a focused group discussion was conducted among the 10 respondents and survey questionnaire for quantitative approach in determining the acceptance of the model. After careful analysis of the study, it was revealed that 10 of the respondents said that the source of their capital to put up the business was from MFIs and 1 had said from personal saving. Majority of the respondents about 60 percent had availed from Card Bank Incorporated. 40 percent  had availed from ARDCI. 4 of the respondents had availed the amount of 30 000-40 000php with the term of 9 months and with 12 percent interest rate. With regards to the impact of Microfinancing it showed that in terms of liquidity the sari-sari store, meat shop and buy and sell of rice and palay were moderately liquid while majority of the rest were not much liquid. In inventory turnover, the demand lead time and the number of days replenish showed a very highly efficient among sari- sari store, meat shop and fishmonger while the buy and sell of nipa had a very low efficiency. Majority of the respondents had a very low efficient return on investment. It can be concluded from the study that respondents were highly benefited by MFIS in giving leeway to them with regards to their starting capital however they didn’t realize the burden of high interest being charged causing them a hard time paying their weekly dues which led to difficulties in operating their business in its day-to-day operation.
