Abstract

This research is qualitative descriptive research which aimed at finding out (1) whether students actively engage in speaking English through interpreting graphs and (2) whether students have a positive attitude towards the use of graphs in speaking classes. The population of this study consists of first-semester students in the Economics Education study Program at Universitas Patompo for the academic year 2022/2023. The researcher employed purposive sampling technique, involving 30 students. Two types of instruments were used in this research: observation techniques and questionnaires. Observation was used to assess students’ participation in speaking English, while questionnaires were used to find out students' attitudes towards the use of graphs in speaking classes. Data analysis results indicated that 1) the use of graphs in speaking can activate students to speak English. In the interpretation of pie charts, the average speaking frequency of students is 3.3% and categorized into active. In the interpretation of line graphs, the average speaking frequency of students is 3.3% over 90 minutes and categorized into active. In the interpretation of bar graphs, the average students’ speaking frequency was 3.83% in 90 minutes and categorized as very active. 2) The questionnaire indicated that 11 (36.67%) out of 30 students strongly agree, 17 (56.67%) students agree, 2 (6.66%) students rather agree, with none of them disagree and strongly disagree with the use of graphs in speaking class. While the mean score was 57.06, indicating that students have a positive attitude towards the use of graphs in speaking classes.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the comparison of learning outcomes of students taught using the Picture and Picture Learning Model with Examples Non-Examples at SMPN 2 Tandukkalua, Mamasa District. This study uses two groups, namely class VIII A with 22 students and class VIII B with 19 students. The variables in this study consist of independent variables, namely the Picture and Picture learning model and Examples Non-Examples, while the dependent variable is learning outcomes. The material taught is the digestive system, and this type of research is quantitative research aimed at determining differences in student learning outcomes. Data collection techniques use tests and documentation. The data analysis techniques used are descriptive analysis and inferential statistical analysis. The results of the study through descriptive analysis show that the learning outcomes of class VIII A students using the Picture and Picture Learning Model (88%) scored between 69.9 and 90.3 with an average of 81, while the learning outcomes of class VIII B students using the Examples Non-Examples Learning Model (70%) scored between 58.2 and 79.6 with an average of 69. The results of the inferential analysis calculation show that the obtained t-value is 2.684 < t-table 3.686 with a significance level of 0.05. Based on these research results, it can be concluded that there is a difference between the two learning models, Picture and Picture, and Examples Non-Examples, on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students at SMPN 2 Tandukkalua, Mamasa District.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effect of applying the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Learning Model on students' critical thinking abilities and learning activities in studying salt hydrolysis material. The research method used was a quasi-experiment using two groups: an experimental group that applied PBL and a control group that used conventional learning methods. The research sample consisted of class XI students at a high school in an urban area. Data was collected through critical thinking ability tests before and after treatment, as well as observations of students' learning activities during the learning process. The results of data analysis show that there is a significant increase in the critical thinking skills and learning activities of students who take part in learning using the PBL model compared to the control group. Students in the PBL group showed a higher level of involvement in group discussions, problem solving, and searching for additional information related to salt hydrolysis material. The implication of this research is that PBL can be an effective approach in improving the quality of chemistry learning at the high school level, especially in strengthening critical thinking skills and increasing students' learning activities. Pre-test scores revealed no significant differences between the control group and the treatment group in terms of critical thinking skills (p > 0.05). However, post-test scores demonstrated a substantial increase in critical thinking skills among students in the treatment group (M = 85.6, SD = 7.2) compared to those in the control group (M = 72.3, SD = 6.8), with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). Therefore, it is recommended that PBL be applied more often in the context of chemistry learning to optimize student learning outcomes.

Abstract

Less interactive learning media accompanied by the delivery of less interesting material can make students feel bored when participating in learning. Therefore, interactive learning media can be the right alternative to overcome these problems. One of them uses the Adobe Flash CS6 Multimedia Software. This study aims to produce interactive learning media for computer network engineering in network service engineering subjects using a valid Adobe Flash CS6 Multimedia Software. This study uses the ADDIE development model (Analysis-Desain-Develop-implementation-Evaluate) which has five stages of development including analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Validation is carried out to determine the feasibility of the developed multimedia. Validation was obtained by using data collection methods in the form of questionnaires given to material experts and media experts. The responses of students and educators were obtained by collecting data in the form of a questionnaire. The results of material expert validation obtained an average of 91.67% with the "Very Eligible" category. The overall material validity test is 88.89% with the "Very Eligible" category. Practical test of learning media was tested by 1 teacher and 16 students. Practicality for the practicality test of teachers is 87.11% and practicality by students is 79.80% so that it can be interpreted very practical to use.

Abstract

This class action research aims to find out the steps of applying the Problem Based Learning Model. The subjects of this study were students of class VI MIN 2 Bulukumba in the odd semester of the 2022/2023 school year, totaling 21 people. This research consists of 2 cycles, each cycle includes stages: planning, action, observation, evaluation and reflection. Cycle I was carried out three times a meeting and cycle II was carried out three times a meeting. Data collection was carried out through observation of each learning process and analyzed by descriptive analysis. The application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model goes through the following steps: 1) Orient students to the problem, 2) Organizing students to learn, 3) Guiding individual and group investigations, 4) Developing and presenting work, 5) Analyzing and evaluating the problem solving process. In cycle I, the average score of students' learning outcomes was 77.73 which was in the high completion category, in cycle II it was 84.93 which was in the very high completion category, while the learning outcomes of students obtained in cycle I were 60% and cycle II was 63.33%. This shows that there was an increase of 21.33%.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze community participation in the management of "rumah kolong" schools. Using descriptive qualitative research methods, this study examines the types of participation, the elements of the community involved and the impact of participation. The results show that community involvement is instrumental in supporting the infrastructure and learning in kolong schools, which are held under stilt houses as an alternative to education in remote areas. Community participation in the form of financial, labor and moral support has proven effective in creating a sustainable learning environment despite accessibility limitations. This research provides a practical contribution to the participatory management model of education in the 3T (Disadvantaged, Frontier and Outermost) areas
