Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility of an inquiry learning-based Student Worksheet (LKPD) on the topic of work for eighth-grade students at SMP IT Nurul Qur’an Al Aziziyah. The study employed a research and development approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through interviews and validation questionnaires involving material experts, media experts, teachers, and students. The collected data were analyzed descriptively by calculating the percentage of feasibility scores obtained from each evaluator. The results showed that the developed LKPD achieved a very high level of feasibility. The material expert validation obtained a score of 88.5%, while media expert validation reached 86.5%. Teacher assessment resulted in a feasibility score of 77%, and student responses reached 90.5%. The LKPD was developed in accordance with the stages of inquiry learning and incorporated contextual explanations, systematic learning activities, and visually appealing components appropriate for junior high school students. These findings indicate that the developed LKPD is feasible for use as an instructional resource in teaching the concept of work. Furthermore, its inquiry-oriented design provides opportunities to support student engagement, learning motivation, critical thinking, and conceptual understanding. The developed LKPD can therefore serve as an alternative instructional material for implementing inquiry-oriented science learning at the junior secondary level.

Abstract

Disaster mitigation education in vocational high schools requires learning approaches that connect scientific knowledge, vocational competencies, collaborative skills, and decision-making. This study examines the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) integrated with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) and role-playing in disaster mitigation learning within the IPAS Project at SMKN 3 Bandung. A qualitative descriptive design was employed involving one teacher and seven students selected purposively based on their active participation throughout the learning activities. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of teaching modules, worksheets, drama scripts, props, portfolios, photographs, videos, and peer assessments. Data were analyzed thematically and validated through source and methodological triangulation. The findings show that learning progressed through problem identification, project planning, task organization, rehearsal monitoring, simulation performance, and evaluation and reflection. Science was the most prominent STEAM component, particularly in explaining disaster causes, impacts, and mitigation strategies. Technology supported information retrieval and communication, while arts were manifested through script development and performance. Engineering and mathematics were less explicitly integrated, primarily appearing in property management, spatial planning, and time allocation, without systematic design testing or quantitative measurement. The approach promoted student engagement, communication, collaboration, and disaster literacy. However, implementation was constrained by limited instructional time, differences in student confidence, and uneven participation. Strengthening engineering scaffolding, quantitative data use, explicit STEAM assessment rubrics, and individual accountability is therefore recommended.

Abstract

This study examines how electronic games affect the development of gross motor skills among children aged 5-6 years at RA Nurul Huda Gegurun, Lombok Timur,, Indonesia. The central question addressed is whether the intensity and duration of daily electronic game use are associated with variations in children's gross motor achievement, including balance, coordination, and locomotor skills. The researcher positioned this study within a descriptive qualitative case-study design, combining participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation of children's daily electronic-game intensity to answer this question. Data on daily electronic-game intensity were cross-referenced with a gross motor development checklist adapted from early childhood assessment indicators. The findings show that children with high daily electronic-game intensity (more than 60 minutes) tend to achieve lower gross motor scores than peers who engage more often in physical and outdoor play, particularly on balance and body-coordination indicators, while children with low electronic-game exposure show more optimal gross motor development. These results imply that early childhood educators and parents at RA Nurul Huda Gegurun should design structured active-play interventions and limit daily screen-based electronic games to support optimal gross motor development.

Abstract

The management of extracurricular activities is part of an educational strategy that is not only directed at achieving achievements, but also at developing the character, skills, and potential of students. This study aims to analyze the management of extracurricular programs at MAN 1 Jembrana  Bali, including madrasa policies, program implementation, student achievement, character and competency development, and supporting and inhibiting factors based on the George C. Edward III policy implementation model. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with MAN 1 Jembrana as the research context. The main data sources are the MAN 1 Jembrana Profile in 2025, extracurricular program documents and guidelines, and information on student achievement supplemented by scientific literature and relevant regulations. Data were collected through documentation and literature studies, then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions using four Edward III variables, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Data validity was strengthened through source triangulation and cross-checking between documents. The results of the study indicate that extracurricular management forms a structured pattern and is oriented towards continuous development through clear communication, resource support, implementer commitment, and systematic task distribution and evaluation. This management relates to student achievement, character development, and competency development. Obstacles identified include limited time, infrastructure, and budget. These findings imply the need for strengthened evaluation, equitable distribution of facilities, budget management, and inter-stakeholder coordination

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the intensity of online game use and verbal aggressive behavior among eighth-grade students at SMPN 17 Mataram during the 2025/2026 academic year. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The population comprised 92 eighth-grade students from classes VIII A and VIII B, all of whom were included through total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring the intensity of online game use and verbal aggressive behavior, with the instruments subjected to validity and reliability procedures. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed a positive and statistically significant relationship between the intensity of online game use and students’ verbal aggressive behavior (r = 0.208, p < 0.05). Although the correlation coefficient indicates a weak relationship, the finding suggests that variations in online game use are associated with differences in students’ verbal aggressive behavior. These findings highlight the importance of collaborative monitoring by schools, guidance and counseling teachers, and parents in supporting students’ responsible digital behavior and developing healthier communication patterns. The study provides empirical evidence concerning the relationship between online gaming habits and verbal aggression among junior high school students.

Abstract

This study examined differences in students’ learning motivation and critical thinking skills following Guided Inquiry learning in Renewable Energy physics. A quantitative quasi-experimental method with a Post-test Only Control Group Design was conducted at SMAN 1 Gondang Tulungagung. The participants were 69 Grade X students selected through purposive sampling, comprising 36 students in the experimental class (X-5) and 33 students in the control class (X-4). The study was conducted over five meetings from January 23 to February 29, 2024. The experimental class received Guided Inquiry learning, while the control class received Direct Instruction. Learning motivation was measured using a 25-item questionnaire, and critical thinking skills were assessed using five essay questions based on the respective study indicators. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.862 for motivation and 0.621 for critical thinking skills. The experimental group obtained higher mean scores for motivation (M = 88.64, SD = 9.708) and critical thinking (M = 87.50, SD = 7.020) than the control group (M = 82.30, SD = 7.768; M = 82.58, SD = 5.019). Independent-samples t-tests showed significant between-group differences in motivation, t(67) = 2.976, p = .004, Cohen’s d = 0.717, and critical thinking, t(67) = 3.324, p = .001, Cohen’s d = 0.801. MANOVA indicated a significant multivariate difference, Pillai’s Trace = .203, Wilks’ Lambda = .797, F(2,66) = 8.414, p < .001, partial η² = .203. Practically, Guided Inquiry can be implemented through Renewable Energy investigations involving questions, hypotheses, experiments, data analysis, and conclusions to support active learning and evidence-based reasoning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of a Literacy Tree based on Reading Trail Cards as a strategy to strengthen primary school students’ reading interest and engagement in literacy activities. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed at SDN 1 Bodak, Central Lombok Regency, Indonesia, involving 40 fifth- and sixth-grade students. The informants consisted of the school principal, two classroom teachers, and five students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation and analysed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data credibility was established through source and methodological triangulation and member checking. The findings show that the Literacy Tree was implemented through five stages: introducing the media, selecting reading materials, reading, completing Reading Trail Cards, and attaching the cards to the Literacy Tree. The cards served as tools for recording and reflecting on students’ reading experiences, while the Literacy Tree visually represented their reading progress. Observation and interview findings indicated active participation, enthusiasm, increased reading interest, and students’ willingness to engage in further reading activities. These findings suggest that the Reading Trail Card-based Literacy Tree can provide a practical, participatory, and visually engaging strategy for strengthening reading interest and literacy engagement among primary school students.

Abstract

The construction of small reservoirs can improve water availability for irrigation and domestic needs; however, changes in hydrological conditions and land use may also influence the ecological characteristics of surrounding areas. The Kembar Small Reservoir (Embung Kembar) in Suela District, East Lombok Regency, was developed to support water resource availability for local communities, yet its ecological implications require systematic assessment. This study aims to analyze the ecological conditions following the construction of the Kembar Small Reservoir, with particular attention to vegetation, soil conditions, water availability, and biodiversity in the surrounding area. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach using a field survey. Data were collected through direct observations, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation involving local communities and relevant environmental conditions around the reservoir. The collected data were analyzed descriptively using percentage calculations to identify patterns and characteristics of the observed ecological components. The findings provide an overview of the ecological conditions associated with the presence of the reservoir and identify environmental aspects requiring attention in its management. The results are expected to provide an empirical basis for developing sustainable management strategies that balance water-resource utilization with ecological conservation. This study contributes to the assessment of the environmental implications of small-reservoir development at the local level, particularly in semi-rural areas of East Lombok.
