Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of structured OBE worksheets (LK) on the learning outcomes of students in the Educational Psychology course at the State University of Medan (UNIMED) in the 2024 academic year. A quasi-experimental design was applied by comparing two groups of students: those who used worksheets (N = 78) and those who did not (N = 78). The worksheet group consisted of students from the Mechanical Engineering Education classes A, B, and C, while the non-worksheet group included students from the Building Engineering Education classes A and C, and the Automotive Engineering Education class B. Final exam scores were analyzed using an independent samples t-test. The results showed a significant difference between the groups, with the worksheet group achieving a higher average score (M = 51.31) than the non-worksheet group (M = 45.87; t = 2.50, p = 0.014, p < 0.05), indicating a positive impact on conceptual understanding and academic performance. Additionally, data were collected from 670 students and 13 lecturers teaching Educational Psychology at UNIMED through closed and open-ended questionnaires. Descriptive analysis revealed that the majority of students (76.7%) and lecturers (77%) preferred printed worksheets. Students rated the visual appearance of the worksheets, outcome-based focus, clarity of language, and content as good, while faculty members valued the comprehensive structure, innovative teaching approach, and relevance to students' future professional needs. These results indicate the effectiveness of worksheets not only in cognitive outcomes but also in enhancing satisfaction and engagement. This study highlights the importance of integrating structured worksheets into pedagogical practices, particularly in technical education, to support holistic student development.

Abstract

Self-confidence is the belief in one's own ability to do or perform an action, thereby making one feel capable of achieving all of one's goals in life. Low self-confidence will have an impact on the learning and development process of students, so efforts are needed to increase student self-confidence through group counseling services using the self-confidence snake and ladder media. The objectives of this study are to determine 1) the level of students' self-confidence, 2) the implementation of the self-confidence snake and ladder game, and 3) whether the self-confidence snake and ladder game can improve students' self-confidence. This study is a Classroom Action Research in Guidance and Counseling (PTBK). The population of this study is ninth-grade students, and the sample consists of 10 students. The implementation of the confidence snake and ladder game in group counseling was carried out through two cycles. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the pre-cycle condition of the PTBK confidence level of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Percut Sei Tuan, as measured by the pre-test, had an average confidence score of 77.3.

Abstract

The transformation of education in the era of globalization and modernization has given rise to serious challenges related to access, quality, and relevance, including gaps in access, the commercialization of education, and the penetration of global culture that threatens local values ​​and national identity. This study aims to deeply analyze the challenges of education in the era of globalization and formulate strategies for developing a sustainable education system that is innovative, inclusive, and based on cultural preservation. This study uses a qualitative literature review method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The research subjects were various literature sources, including books, journal articles, and policy documents related to global and local education issues. Data were collected through desk review techniques and analyzed using content analysis methods to identify key themes and strategic solutions. The results indicate that educational transformation requires technology integration, teacher competency enhancement, character building, and the protection of local values ​​amidst the currents of globalization. The conclusions of this study emphasize that the development of an education system must prioritize sustainable innovation, equitable access, cultural preservation, and resilience to global disruption. The implications of this research are expected to provide a basis for consideration for the government, education practitioners, and policymakers in formulating adaptive and sustainable education policies.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between permissive parenting styles and promiscuity among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 18 Medan. The research approach used is quantitative with a correlational method. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with a total of 69 respondents from a total population of 230 students. The results of the data analysis indicate a significant positive correlation between permissive parenting styles and free-wheeling social behavior. The higher the level of permissive parenting applied by parents, the higher the tendency for students to engage in promiscuity. This is indicated by the coefficient of determination (r²) value of 0.674, meaning that permissive parenting contributes 45.43% to promiscuous behavior. The remainder is influenced by other factors such as self-control, family economics, and social environment. Descriptively, permissive parenting is predominantly in the moderate category (62.3%), with the main aspect being a lack of parental attention to the child's responsibilities, social interactions, and personal issues. Free-wheeling behavior is also in the moderate category (71.0%), with dominant factors including the influence of mass media, social environment, and personal motivation. These findings highlight the importance of active parental involvement in guiding adolescent development to prevent deviant behavior.
