Abstract

Background. Problem-based learning (PBL) has emerged as an innovative approach in education, particularly in developing critical thinking and writing skills. In the context of learning to write argumentative paragraphs, there is a need to explore the effectiveness of PBL in enhancing students' writing abilities and engagement. Purpose. This study aims to test and analyze the effectiveness of the PBL model in teaching students to write argumentative paragraphs, focusing on topic suitability and content coherence. Method. A qualitative research method with a descriptive approach was employed to identify, describe, and explain the research subjects. The study utilized multiple data collection instruments, including written tests, questionnaires, observations, and interviews. These tools were used to assess students' progress in essay writing and their perceptions of the learning experience. The research was conducted in two cycles to evaluate the implementation and impact of the PBL model. Results. The study found significant improvements in students' performance across the two cycles. In Cycle I, the highest score was 90, the lowest was 70, with an average score of 90. Cycle II showed further improvement, with the highest score reaching 100, the lowest score increasing to 90, and an average score of 100. Conclusion. The findings indicate that the PBL model is effective in enhancing students' ability to write argumentative paragraphs. The marked improvement in scores from Cycle I to Cycle II suggests that the PBL approach contributes to better topic selection, content development, and overall writing quality. This study underscores the potential of PBL as a valuable instructional strategy for developing argumentative writing skills in students.

Abstract

Background. With the rapid development of information technology, the use of online learning platforms in Indonesia is increasing. However, the legal regulations governing the use of these platforms are still limited and often inadequate. This poses a variety of challenges, including data security, copyright, and access equality issues. Purpose. This study aims to identify the challenges faced in the regulation of the use of online learning platforms in Indonesia and to formulate solutions that can be implemented to overcome these challenges. Method. This research uses a qualitative approach with literature study methods and in-depth interviews. The literature study was conducted to collect secondary data from various literature related to legal regulations and online learning platforms. In-depth interviews were conducted with experts in the fields of law, information technology, and education to gain deeper insights. Results. The results of the study show that the main challenges in regulating the use of online learning platforms in Indonesia include the lack of data security standards, weak copyright protection, and limited access for students in remote areas. In addition, the lack of coordination between relevant government agencies is also an obstacle to the effective implementation of regulations. Conclusion. This study concludes that to overcome the challenges in regulating the use of online learning platforms in Indonesia, comprehensive regulatory updates and better coordination between government agencies are needed. In addition, there is a need to increase awareness about the importance of data security and copyright among users and providers of online learning platforms. The implementation of these solutions is expected to increase effectiveness and fairness in the use of online learning platforms in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background. The use of technology has positive and negative impacts depending on the ability of users, especially children to use it. The policy of using technology has a significant impact on the development of children's brain abilities, this also affects the level of children's intelligence. It is the responsibility of parents to know the changes that occur during the child's growth and development. Purpose. This study aims to evaluate the extent of the influence of technology on children's intellectual intelligence, especially in elementary school children. The focus of this research is to understand how technology affects the intellectual development of children in this age group. Method. The approach used in this study is a quantitative method. Data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires using Google Forms, which were filled out by teachers in elementary schools. This approach allows for the collection of relevant data directly from those who interact with children in the context of daily education. Results. The results of the study show that the use of technology has a double impact, namely positive and negative, on the intellectual intelligence of elementary school students. Technology can improve skills and knowledge if used appropriately. However, without adequate supervision, technology can also have negative impacts, such as decreased concentration and unbalanced social development. Conclusion. The conclusion of this study explains that technology is able to have a positive impact on students' intellectual intelligence if under the proper supervision of parents. If parents are negligent in controlling technology for children, it will have negative and fatal consequences.

Abstract

Background. Learning based on local wisdom is gaining importance in education, especially within the Independent Curriculum, which allows adapting materials to local contexts. Modules based on local wisdom are believed to enhance student engagement and understanding, but empirical evidence regarding their effectiveness on learning outcomes remains limited. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the influence of the use of learning modules based on local wisdom on student learning outcomes in the implementation of the Independent Curriculum. Method. This study uses a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group that uses a module based on local wisdom and a control group that uses a conventional module. The sample consisted of 200 students from four purposively selected junior high schools. The instruments used are learning outcome tests and attitude questionnaires. Results. Experimental group experienced significant improvements in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning outcomes compared to the control group. The average post-test scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, with greater improvements in class engagement and positive attitudes towards learning. The use of modules based on local wisdom also strengthens students' ability to apply learning concepts into daily life, especially those related to local cultural values. Conclusion. Learning module based on local wisdom is effective in improving student learning outcomes and is relevant to the implementation of the Independent Curriculum. This approach not only improves academic understanding, but also supports the development of students' character and social skills.

Abstract

Background. Learning in early childhood is an important foundation in the development of cognitive abilities, especially in numeracy skills. However, challenges in teaching the concept of counting effectively are often faced by educators. Interesting learning media, such as number smart boards, are expected to help overcome this obstacle. This media is designed to make it easier for children to understand the concept of numbers and basic operations of mathematics through fun and interactive methods. Purpose. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the use of number smart board learning media in improving numeracy skills in early childhood. In addition, this study also focuses on how this media affects children's motivation to learn and whether there is a significant difference between the use of this media and conventional learning methods. Method. This study uses a quantitative approach with an experimental design. The subjects of the study were children aged 4-6 years in a kindergarten who were divided into two groups, namely an experimental group that used the media of a number smart board and a control group that used traditional learning methods. Data collection was carried out through observations, numeracy tests, and questionnaires to measure children's motivation to learn. Results. The results showed that children who learned to use a number smart board experienced a significant improvement in numeracy compared to the control group. In addition, the motivation to learn in the experimental group was also seen to be higher. Conclusion. The use of number smart board learning media has been proven to be effective in improving early childhood numeracy skills. This media is also able to increase children's learning motivation, making it an effective alternative to conventional learning methods.
