Abstract

In Physics learning, students face challenges in the learning process if they do not grasp the fundamental concepts of physics itself. The low conceptual understanding of students is caused by the fact that the learning targets of most teachers focus solely on covering the material, rather than on how students master the material and understand physics concepts. Efforts to address this issue involve implementing the experimental learning method. This study aims to determine the improvement of students' conceptual understanding using the experimental learning method. The research employs a Pre-Experimental Design with a One Group Pretest-Posttest pattern, with a sample of 31 students from class XII MIPA 4 selected through simple random sampling. The instruments used consist of non-tests (lesson plans, worksheets, student observation sheets, and student responses) and test instruments (conceptual understanding test). Data processing techniques involve quantitative analysis and calculation of N-Gain scores. The data analysis results are grouped into three categories: Validity analysis, Practicality analysis, and Effectiveness analysis. The Validity analysis results indicate that both non-test and test instruments are valid (V). The Practicality analysis results, based on non-test instruments such as student observation sheets, show an average rating in the excellent category (SB). Meanwhile, the Effectiveness analysis results indicate that the experimental learning method falls into the high category, and student response questionnaires average a good rating. Therefore, it can be concluded that the experimental learning method can improve students' conceptual understanding, with an N-Gain score of 0.73.

Abstract

The inclusion of DRR education in the curriculum has been part of the response of the government to the increasing threats of disasters in the Philippines. Yet it was found out that students are still mostly uncertain when a disaster occurs, more specifically on evacuation plans, hazards and disaster-prone areas . This study aimed to develop an instructional material to increase the knowledge, preparedness, and awareness towards hydrometeorological hazards of Grade 11 students in Caloocan City Science High School. The Hydrometeorological Disaster Risk Awareness board game (HYDRA), was first evaluated by seven DRRR experts and Science teachers using the DepEd LRMDS evaluation tool, before it was implemented to the Grade 11 students. Data were collected from 20 participants using a 20-item test questionnaire and a 16-item survey form. The results of the pretests and posttests have shown significant differences with large effect sizes, which implies that the game has significantly increased the students disaster risk knowledge (p 0.001; d = 1.5), preparedness (p 0.001; d = 1.92), and awareness (p 0.001; d = 1.96). The game also received an overall evaluation rating of 3.99 out of 4, which means that it met the criteria for an appropriate instructional material. These findings suggest that HYDRA can be used as an alternative educational tool in teaching DRRR.

Abstract

The lack of implementation of differentiated learning causes teachers to be unable to accommodate students' various learning styles, which in turn reduces students' problem-solving abilities. This research aims to determine the influence of implementing content and process differentiation learning using the PBL model on improving problem-solving skills for each learning style of students and to identify the problem-solving skills that may arise from differences in learning styles. The research design used was a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of students in classes X-1 and X-2 at Public Senior High School Bandar Lampung in the academic year 2023/2024. The data collection method is through tests using pretest and posttest questions with indicators of problem-solving ability, and data analysis using paired difference tests (paired sample t-test) and one way ANOVA. The results of the study indicated a difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the students, where the posttest scores were higher than the pretest scores, indicating an improvement in students' problem-solving skills. The N-gain value was greater than 0.05, indicating no difference in problem-solving skills.
