Abstract

The nature of Natural Science as a science that originates from nature and has several abstract concepts that cannot be presented directly into the classroom is a challenge for teachers to convey these concepts. The rapid development of technology allows humans to interact directly without being limited by space and time. One technology that can be used to visualize several abstract concepts in science lessons is augmented reality. This study aims to develop science teaching materials based on Augmented Reality (AR) on the material of energy in life systems. This type of research is development research referring to the development of Borg & Gall which was modified from (Sugiyono, 2014). This study consists of 10 stages, namely (1) Potential and Problems; (2) Data Collection; (3) Product Design; (4) Product Design Validation; (5) Product Design Revision; (6) Product Trial; (7) Product Revision; (8) Usage Trial; (9) Product Revision; and (10) Mass Production. By implementing all these stages, it is expected to produce science teaching materials based on Augmented Reality that are valid and reliable based on expert responses and trial results. The output of this study is a research article published in an accredited national journal and HAKI science teaching materials based on Augmented Reality.

Abstract

This researcher aims to develop handouts based on Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) to increase motivation and learning outcomes for Class VII students at SMP Negeri 7 Lubuklinggau. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with a 4D development model but its application only reaches the 3D stage, namely: definition stage, design stage, development stage. The research sample or research subjects were students in class VII-2 of SMP Negeri 7 Lubuklinggau. The data collection technique uses a validation sheet. Based on validator analysis, it shows that the quality of learning media meets the very valid criteria with (1) 28 media validation results with a range of 25.2 < X ≤ 30, 21 language validation results with a range of 17.38, (2) increasing motivation 36.16 and 42.96 and (3) learning outcomes 0.58. So it can be said that the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) based handouts were developed and validated as innovative teaching materials that can increase motivation and can be used in learning, with validation categories of good media expert, very good language expert, and very good material expert. Meanwhile, learning motivation shows a good category with an average N-gain of learning outcomes in the High category.

Abstract

The study of incorporating computational thinking (CT) into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has gained interest. We carried out a semi-systematic review of 50 empirical papers on this topic. Our findings highlighted the following crucial points: (a) the majority of research utilized domain-general descriptions for CT, while a few studies suggested domain-specific terms that addressed STEM education; (b) problem-based instruction developed as the most common teaching approach, with popular contextual topics including game design, robotics, and computational modelling; (c) assessments of student learning in combined CT and STEM varied in objectives and formats, with approximately one-third evaluating both CT and STEM integration. Based on our findings, we make recommendations for future study and implementation, with an emphasis on defining and evaluating CT in STEM contexts, developing successful instructional strategies for incorporating CT into STEM, and investigating approaches to promote inclusiveness in integrated CT and STEM education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the significant impact of utilizing the school environment as a learning resource on students’ interest in learning Biology among seventh-grade students at SMPN 10 Sigi. The research applied a quasi-experimental design involving 55 students, divided into an experimental class and a control class. Data collection techniques included observation of students’ learning interest, interviews with the science teacher, and a post-test to assess academic understanding. Instruments used in this study comprised observation sheets, structured interview guides, and post-test items. Both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed a substantial difference between the two groups. The experimental class, which engaged in outdoor and environment-based learning activities, achieved an average interest score of 92.5% (categorized as Very Good), while the control class, which received conventional classroom instruction, scored 76.2% (categorized as Good). Students in the experimental group showed increased enthusiasm, curiosity, and active participation, particularly during explorative activities related to biodiversity around the school grounds. These results confirm that integrating the school environment into the learning process not only enhances student engagement but also fosters a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. The study concludes that effective use of the school environment can significantly increase students’ interest and motivation in learning science, especially in rural or under-resourced educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to review the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) learning model in improving students' problem-solving skills and learning outcomes in Biology. This study was conducted using a literature review method of relevant national and international articles. Data sources were obtained through a Google Scholar search with the keywords "Problem-Based Learning" and "Biology", and were selected based on the criteria of the year of publication (2018–2024), relevance to the field of science, and presentation of quantitative data. The analysis techniques used include descriptive analysis, content analysis, and critical analysis. The results of the study show that the PBL model consistently improves students' learning outcomes and critical thinking skills compared to conventional methods. The increase in students' average scores was recorded between 4% and 24%, depending on the combination of approaches, such as audio-visual-based PBL, concept mapping, scaffolding, and role playing. In addition to cognitive aspects, PBL has also been shown to strengthen students' social skills, including cooperation, communication, and self-confidence in group discussions. The success of implementing this model is highly dependent on the role of the teacher as a facilitator, students' readiness for independent learning, and the support of interactive media. Therefore, PBL is recommended to be applied in Biology learning as an approach that can improve students' academic achievements as well as 21st century competencies.
