Abstract

This study aims to determine the results of compressive strength testing between ordinary lightweight bricks compared to lightweight bricks with fly ash waste additives and sikacim concrete additives. The method used is the experimental method. In this study, test objects were made by adding fly ash waste and sikacim concrete additive as a mixture of lightweight brick material. Then the lightweight brick is tested for compressive strength at the age of 14 and 28 days, which is possible that the lightweight brick has reached the maximum compressive strength value. The data analysis used to determine whether or not the use of fly ash waste additives and sikacim concrete additives affects the compressive strength of lightweight bricks is regression analysis. In this study, 3 variations of test objects were made where each variation consisted of 5 test objects that had different mixture compositions, namely 0%, 25%, and 50%. The results of the comparison of the compressive strength of ordinary lightweight bricks with a mixture of fly ash waste and sikacim concrete additives for 14-day-old lightweight bricks, at 0% composition is 3.70 Mpa, and at the age of 28 days it increases to 4.43%. The compressive strength value at the age of 14 days for the 25% composition has increased to 4.38 Mpa and the 28-day old has increased compressive strength to 5.05 Mpa. While the 50% composition at the age of 14 days decreased by 16.15%, namely 3.09 Mpa, and those aged 28 days decreased by 17.60%, namely 3.65 Mpa.

Abstract

Abstract IPAS (Social and Exact Science Education) is a subject in the Kurikulum Merdeka. This subject invite student to recognize natural anomalies by facts. However, results of the researcher's observations on the interest of 4th-grade elementary school students in learning science showed that 93.75% of students experienced difficulties in learning science, especially in the matter of changes in the state of matter and energy forms. So, based on the results of the theoretical formulation and potential problems, the researcher is interested in proposing the development of a simulation video product. This type of research is Research and Development (R&D) based on 7 stages, namely, potential and problems, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, product testing, and product revision due to limitations of materials, time, and manpower. After the prototype product is completed, the researcher validates the content, media, and language with 9 experts, with each having 3 validations: (Content validators, Media validators, Language validators) The test results show that 86% of the material validation, 92% of the media expert validation, and 96% of the language validation, it can be concluded that the simulation video product is very feasible to use with minor revisions. Furthermore, the researchers carried out a teacher and student readability test on the simulation video media. The scores obtained were 91,2% for teachers and 89,2% for students. So that simulation video products able as media supplements in learning.

Abstract

Limited media facilities and infrastructure for technology-based media in schools require teachers to use print-based media. Students have difficulty understanding thematic learning because of the limitations of interactive media. This research aims to develop pop up book media for thematic learning on the sub-theme of changing the shape of objects that is suitable for use. This research design uses the Borg n Gall's development type up to the evaluation stage. The results of the material expert assessment obtained a percentage of 91.4% with a very feasible category. The results of linguist's assessment got 83.4% categorized feasible. The results of media expert's assessment get 95% it means feasible. Readability of student's test got a percentage of 100% with a very decent category. Student's can read and use pop up books. Readability of teacher's test got 100% with very feasible. So that's pop up book can help teachers in the learning process.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the problems faced by grade 2 students at SDN 1 Dongko, namely lack of understanding in detail about local wisdom, namely turonggo yakso dances starting from history, movements, as well as tools and materials used in performances, students are less motivated in participating in the learning process in dance subjects because the media used by teachers is still limited to the blackboard and extracurricular dance at school is still insufficient. While the problems experienced by teachers are that teachers are less focused in the learning process because teachers have busy obligations for performance reporting requested by the ministry, teachers also provide information related to facilities and infrastructure that support dance are also inadequate in the school and the school lacks teaching staff in the field of art, information from the results of interviews to hire a dance coach is also relatively expensive. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of local wisdom-based interactive power point learning media on dance skills in elementary school students. the research method used is quantitative method with Quasi Experimental Design research design and the design used is Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The samples in this study were class 2A students as the experimental class and class 2B as the control class. The average score obtained from students' dance skills after being given treatment is 88.43, then the data is tested with a hypothesis acquisition of 0.002 <0.05, then Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. Thus, it can be concluded that interactive power point learning media based on local wisdom has an effect on the dance skills of grade 2 students of SDN 1 Dongko.

Abstract

This study assessed the EJOY application’s efficacy in enhancing eleventh-grade students' oral proficiency in explaining natural phenomena, focusing on pronunciation, vocabulary, fluency, grammar, and content. Pre-experimental research utilizing a one-group pretest and post-test design covered thirty-five students at SMAN 1 Blitar, especially class XI-MIPA3. The study unfolded in three phases: pretest, treatment, and post-test, with a preliminary tryout to ensure test validity and reliability. Data analysis, conducted using a paired sampled T-test with SPSS 26, revealed a significant improvement in students' speaking achievement in explanation texts. Rising from 72.00 to 80.62. In addition, the Sig 2 tailed was under 0.05. It was stated that the Ejoy application effectively improves students’ speaking skills. From the findings, students should use the EJOY application in English to refine their speaking skills. Further, English educators are advised to integrate the EJOY Application to enhance learning outcomes or incorporate it into other topics to create more engaging and interactive curricula tailored to specific learning objectives.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the pattern of instilling democratic character in Civics learning at SMAN 3 Blitar. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The subjects of this research were students of SMAN 3 Blitar for the 2021/2022 academic year. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation, and documentation with data analysis techniques using source triangulation and technical triangulation. The results of this research are in the form of learning process that emphasizes the cultivation of democratic character through various democratic habits. The obstacle is the lack of student activity in the learning process and student interest in learning. Efforts to resolve these obstacles include teachers providing examples in familiarizing students with democratic culture. The research results obtained were that through the process of instilling democratic character by teachers in students, students were more active and had democratic culture habits, especially in Civics learning.
