Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze students’ self-efficacy in relation to their Biology learning outcomes in Grade X at SMA Negeri 1 Jakenan during the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. This research is correlational in nature and employs a quantitative approach. The research method used was a survey in the form of a questionnaire. The sampling technique applied was purposive sampling, with a total sample of 72 tenth-grade students from SMA Negeri 1 Jakenan. Learning outcome data were collected through summative assessments, while self-efficacy data were obtained via a questionnaire. The self-efficacy questionnaire consisted of 40 statement items using a Likert-type scale. The correlation between variables was tested using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test, and the strength of the relationship was measured using a simple linear regression analysis. The result of the Pearson Product Moment correlation test was 0.242, indicating a positive relationship between students’ self-efficacy and their Biology learning outcomes in Grade X at SMA Negeri 1 Jakenan during the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, with a low correlation impact of 5.9 percent. Self-efficacy contributes only 5.9 percent to the learning outcome scores, suggesting that other factors also influence students’ academic performance.

Abstract

One of the factors causing the current low scientific literacy is the limited learning media that has not been able to bridge scientific concepts with empirical reality. The coverage of scientific literacy indicator content in existing media tends to be unbalanced because it only emphesizes theoretical aspects without real-life context. This study aims to develop a ARDis media based on the research "Hyperlipidemia" on the digestive system material that is practical to improve students' scientific literacy. This study uses the Research and Development method with the Alessi & Trollip model which includes the planning, design, and development stages. The research subjects consisted of Biology teacher and students of SMAN 13 Semarang. Data collection instruments included questionnaires and tests. The practicality of the product was assessed through pre-tests and post-tests. The results showed that the ARDis media has very practicality based on the results of assessments by teacher with a score of 98% and  students 87,14%. The effectiveness of the ARDis media is demonstrated through students' classical completeness with a score of 94,4% and the results of the N-gain test of 0,66 (moderate category). Thus, it can be concluded that the ARDis media based on the research "Hyperlipidemia" is practical and effective to use as a learning media to improve students' scientific literacy in biology learning, especially in the digestive system material.

Abstract

Based on observations, students’ collaboration skills and learning outcomes in the coordination system material remain low, while the implementation of Problem-based Learning (PBL) has not been optimal. This study aims to analyze the effect of PBL in the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach on students’ collaboration skills and learning outcomes. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of two eleventh-grade biology classes: the control class applied PBL without differentiation, while the experimental class applied PBL-TaRL based on learning styles. Data were analyzed using t-test and N-gain. The results showed that the experimental class achieved higher improvement in collaboration skills than the control class, with the final category being “excellent” and N-gain at a moderate level, while the control class was in the “good” category with moderate N-gain. Learning outcomes also improved, as indicated by the posttest mean score of the experimental class (74.86), which was higher than the control class, with a moderate N-gain. The t-test yielded a significance value of 0.046 < 0.05. Thus, the implementation of PBL-TaRL is effective in enhancing students’ collaboration skills and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the wordwall-assisted discussion method in improving high school students' learning outcomes in the Human Movement System material. This study used a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-postest model. The subjects were grade XI students of SMA NU Lemahabang, divided into two groups: the experimental class using the wordwall- assisted discussion method and the control class using the lecture method. Data collection was carried out through pretests, postests, and student response questionnaires. The results showed that in the N-gain value in the experimental class, 82.5% of students experienced an increase in learning outcomes in the moderate to high category. In contrast, in the control class, only 31.25% of students reached that category. Based on these results, 75% of students in the experimental class were declared to have completed the material, while in the control class only 43.75% completed the material. In addition, student responses to the wordwall- assisted discussion method were in the very good category. These findings prove that the wordwall-assisted discussion method is effective in improving students' cognitive learning outcomes. The implications of this research show that combining discussion methods with interactive digital media can significantly improve the quality of Biology learning.

Abstract

Technological development in the globalization era requires integration of digital media into learning. Students need interactive learning materials that support independent study; therefore, this research aims to develop a scientific-approach-based electronic worksheet (e-LKPD/ Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik Elektronik) on Biotechnology Material. The e-worksheet hopefully valid and effective in improving tenth-grade students’ Critical Thinking Skills (CTS) and Science Process Skills (SPS). This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model, consisting of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. The collected data include validity, readability, and the effectiveness of the e-LKPD in enhancing students’ critical thinking and science process skills. A small-scale trial was conducted at SMAN 8 Semarang, while a large-scale trial took place at SMAN 14 Semarang, based on school readiness. The results indicate that the e-LKPD is highly valid according to material and media experts and demonstrates excellent readability based on teacher and student evaluations. Furthermore, the e-LKPD proved effective in improving students’ critical thinking and science process skills into a high category. This research implies that the e-LKPD can serve as a biology learning supplement, functioning both as a biotechnology practicum guide for students and as an supplementary resource for biotechnology learning for teachers.
