Abstract

In order to improve cognitive thinking skills and the student’s learning activities concerning mathematics, specifically on addition and subtraction topics, concrete media is employed in this research. The research was conducted as a Classroom Action Research (CAR) in the form of the Kemmis & McTaggart model and targeted at grade II students of SDN 184/V Parit Ponco, Jambi Province, with seven participants. The implementation of research is confined to the following four phases, i.e., planning and action, observation, and reflection, with a focus on the fact that some observation is done simultaneously with action. The application of such tools as colorful pictures, sticks, and real objects enabled the students to picture and physically interact with quite abstract objects in mathematics. This enhanced their interest and understanding of the subject matter. The results have shown improvement in learning outcomes and the level of student activity across cycles. The average score of cognitive outcomes, which was 32.86 in the pre-cycle, has improved to 45.71 in cycle I and 75.71 in cycle II. Similarly, students’ level of learning activity increased from 39.16% in pre-cycle to 75.23% in Cycle I and 87.39% in Cycle II. Concrete media, such as its interactive and practical aspects, worked well with different learning preferences in the classroom and served to call for active participation, teamwork, and self-directed problem-solving. This method also puts to practice the fact that linking theory to practice helps students to understand and remember better because it becomes clear and concrete and facilitates the notion that learning should be purposeful, cognitive, and contextualized for the student so that learning can be long-lasting and meaningful. From this research, it is evident that concrete media can help in improving elementary education and can be utilized in other learning environments.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' understanding of 1-dimensional kinematics concepts through a multi-representation approach. A total of 42 physics teacher candidates participated in this study, which used a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. The instrument used was 18 multiple-choice questions that included various concept representations, such as mathematical, graphical, tabular, pictorial, and verbal. The results showed a significant increase in students' concept understanding after the application of multi-representation learning. The pretest mean score was 44.44, which increased to 89.81 on the posttest, with an n-gain of 0.81 (high category). The paired sample t-test showed a significant difference between the pretest and post-test (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.000). The multi-representation approach allows students to understand concepts from various points of view, helps reduce misconceptions, and supports various learning styles. However, this study has limitations in the design of feedback and formative assessment, which are important to improve in future research to strengthen the effectiveness of learning.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method on improving biology learning outcomes among high school students. Despite biology’s critical role in addressing global challenges, students often struggle with understanding basic biological concepts, leading to unsatisfactory academic performance. This research aimed to assess the effectiveness of PBL in enhancing students' biology comprehension. The study was conducted at SMAN 17 Bandung with 69 students as participants and utilized a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data were collected through a validated learning outcome test and analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results indicated a significant improvement in students' post-test scores, with a mean difference of 38.88 points between the pretest and post-test and an N-gain of 0.703, categorized as high. These findings demonstrate that PBL significantly enhances students' understanding of biology by encouraging active engagement, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The study concludes that PBL is an effective learning method that improves biology learning outcomes, preparing students to become independent and collaborative problem solvers. However, challenges such as teacher readiness, time constraints, and limited resources must be addressed for broader implementation.
