Abstract

The learning process in Indonesia has not directed students to be able to think at a high level which resulted in the quality of education in Indonesia is still quite low. This study aims to determine the effect of the application of STEAM-based learning on students' critical thinking skills. This research is a "pree experimental design with one group pretest-posttest design" study. The population of this study were all students of class XI IPA, totaling 3 classes. Sampling was done by means of simple random sampling so that the students of class XI IPA 1 SMAN 1 Baitussalam were obtained. The data collection technique used is a test question (pretest and posttest). The results showed that the Pre-test score obtained was a minimum of 5 and a maximum value of 50, while the Post-test score of at least 60 and a maximum value of 95, the average improvement of students on the final test was more than the average score of the pretest. The results of data analysis showed the value of Sig. (2-tailed) value 0.000 0.05. This shows that H0 is rejected which indicates that there are differences in students' critical thinking results. This shows an increase in students' critical thinking through the application of a STEAM-based learning approach. These differences can be caused by differences in the learning approaches used, where in the post-test using the STEAM approach, during the learning process students are faced with a problem that must be solved with their respective group friends. In addition, students must be able to connect science concepts with concepts found in everyday life. Based on the results of the research obtained, it shows that there is a significant effect of implementing STEAM-based learning on students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study intends to ascertain the impact of Schoology-based online instruction on students' learning outcomes in momentum and impulse matter. A non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design using a quasi-experimental methodology was adopted. All of the second-semester students in X class Science MAN 1 Medan make up the study's population. Purposive sampling was utilized to choose the study's sample. The test utilized consists of 20 questions with multiple choices about momentum and impulse matter, all of which have been validated by the validator. According to the findings, the control class's pre-test average value is 50.67, whereas the experiment class is 51.83 on average. The two classes' data are found to have equally distributed normal and homogeneous distributions in the tests for normality and homogeneity. The findings revealed that using Schoology for online learning had a significant impact on student learning outcomes in physics subjects.

Abstract

Biochemistry is a branch of biosciences which deals with the study of chemical reactions that occur in living cells and organisms. It is a subject in which biological phenomenon is analyzed in terms of chemical reactions or metabolic pathways. Biochemistry has been previously named as biological chemistry, chemical biology, clinical chemistry, chemical pathology, physiological chemistry, including medical biochemistry and clinical biochemistry. Medical biochemistry studies the chemical composition and physiological reactions in the human body. Clinical biochemistry is the measurement of chemicals or analytes in body fluids for the diagnosis, monitoring and management of patients with various diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc. An increase in the number and availability of laboratory diagnostics has helped in the solution of clinical problems. Particularly important is the contribution of clinical chemistry to the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes. The importance of lipids and lipoproteins for public health has increased with clinical studies showing the benefit of lipid lowering in cardiovascular diseases. An understanding of clinical chemistry and biochemistry would be useful in the study of medical and allied sciences for the advancement of knowledge in academic and professional courses. This review article is an attempt to understand the scope and significance of basic and applied aspects of biochemistry

Abstract

This study investigated multiple representation formats and mathematical reasoning to unravel physics concepts and laws in problem-solving. Four hundred and sixty (460) students from forty-six (46) co-educational schools in Kwara State- Nigeria, participated in the study. Using a random sampling technique 230 males and 230 females were selected. The two instruments used are Physics Multiple Representational Test and the Physics Mathematical Reasoning Test. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Results of the analyses through frequency count, percentages, and t-test revealed a low mean value for mathematical reasoning and the representational format of students. The male recorded a higher mean value in multiple representation formats and mathematical reasoning than their female counterparts. It concluded that students' mathematical reasoning and multiple representational formats in problem-solving were low, and the female students were the most affected when it comes to low performance. The study recommended a curriculum review to accommodate an introductory course on multiple representations. Also, an innovative program that enhances mathematical reasoning and promotes the relationship between mathematics and physics is in the curriculum. Extracurricular activities that could stimulate female interests in representational format and mathematical reasoning, should be introduced in schools.
