Abstract

This study aims to identify the relationship between students' understanding of biological concepts and their critical thinking skills. This research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational study design. The research was carried out in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency, which involved a sample of 328 class XI students, who were selected using simple random sampling from a population of four selected high schools. The data was collected using two validated research instruments, namely the biology concept understanding test and the critical thinking skills test. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment correlation were used to test the strength and direction of correlation between the two quantities. The average score for students' understanding of biology concepts was 59.32 (SD = 15.28), while the average score for critical thinking skills was 53.15 (SD = 9.20). This indicates that, on average, students still face difficulties in both aspects. The analysis results showed a significant positive correlation between students' understanding of biological concepts and their critical thinking skills (r = 0.797, p < 0.01). These findings indicate that a good understanding of biological concepts can improve students' critical thinking skills, which are essential for the development of higher-order thinking skills. The critical thinking scores are significantly explained by the students' conceptual understanding since R² = 0.635, which shows that the biological concepts comprehension could account for 63.5% of the critical thinking variance, while the other 36.5% will be due to other factors. These findings highlight the importance of understanding concepts for developing critical thinking skills. The study suggests that teaching strategies focusing on understanding the biological concepts that the students are being taught should come first for students to develop their higher-order thinking skills. Moreover, it is advisable to broaden the scope of contributing factors to encompass such issues as teaching approaches and students’ active participation in future studies. The findings offer useful information for the development of curricula, the goal of which is to integrate the conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills of those being taught biology.

Abstract

Students' understanding of kinematics concepts still tends to be low because they have difficulty understanding concepts in various representations. This quantitative study investigates the effectiveness of the motion diagram approach in teaching one-dimensional kinematics through a pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental class utilized motion diagrams, while the control class was taught using conventional methods over a five-week period. The research was conducted at one of the public high schools in Makassar City. The experimental and control classes consisted of 36 students. Students' understanding was assessed using a validated set of 12 multiple-choice questions, with data analyzed through descriptive statistics and independent sample t-tests to evaluate differences in learning outcomes. Results indicated that the experimental class exhibited significantly more improvement in conceptual understanding than the control class, suggesting that motion diagrams enhance students' grasp of kinematic principles. The findings support integrating multi-representational learning strategies, facilitating students' active engagement and knowledge construction. The motion diagram approach effectively reduces cognitive load and promotes deeper understanding by visually representing motion and encouraging students to translate this information into tables, graphs, and equations. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of combining visual and verbal representations, which aligns with Dual Coding theory, enhancing retention and motivation. Overall, the research underscores the potential of innovative teaching methods, such as motion diagrams, to improve educational outcomes in physics, thereby enriching the learning experience and fostering a more profound comprehension of scientific concepts among students. In the future, similar experiments could be applied in broader contexts or in other subjects of physics, as well as the potential integration of this approach with modern technology.

Abstract

Students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities remain low due to the lack of interactive media and technological limitations in learning. Previous studies have primarily focused on the practicality, validity, and effectiveness of learning media in improving student achievement. This study offers a new contribution by specifically examining the effectiveness of WordPress-based CMS in enhancing students’ mathematical problem-solving skills. The research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using WordPress CMS as an interactive learning medium for students at MTs Negeri 11 Cirebon. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving an experimental group using WordPress CMS and a control group using conventional media. The findings indicate that students’ acceptance of the WordPress-based learning media was in the good category (86.32%). There was an increase in post-test scores (86.05) compared to pre-test scores (31.67), with classical mastery reaching 93%. The effect test showed that the use of WordPress CMS had a significant influence on problem-solving ability, contributing 64.6%. An independent sample t-test revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control classes, with an N-Gain of 79.28% (effective) in the experimental group and only 22.6% (ineffective) in the control group. The study is limited by its sample scope and the specific features of CMS used. The findings suggest that WordPress CMS can serve as an innovative tool in digital mathematics learning, providing a more interactive and effective learning experience. Academically, this study enriches the discourse on digital media development and encourages the integration of CMS platforms into technology-based mathematics instruction.
