Abstract

Based on observations, the worksheets used in Senior High School 11 Semarang only contain a summary of the content of the material and the questions so that the activities presented do not facilitate the students. In addition, the learning process had not stimulated students to solve real problems. Learning tends to be memorized and textual. Implementation of Students Worksheets based on PBL can improve activities and student learning outcomes also guide students towards concept development through information and instructional task instructions to conduct investigations or problem solving, students are active in learning, and collaborative learning. This research aimed to analyze the validity, legibility, and effectiveness of Students Worksheets based on PBL on ecosystem material. This research was conducted at Senior High School 11 Semarang with a Research & Development (R&D) research design. The research steps included potential and problem identification, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, small-scale trials, product revisions, large-scale trials, product revisions, and final products. Small-scale trials were carried out on 10 students of class XII MIPA 5 and a biology teacher. A large-scale trial was conducted on 36 students of class X MIPA 6 online due to the Covid-19 pandemic using a pre-experimental design in the form of a one-group pretest-posttest. The data analysis used descriptive percentages. Students Worksheets based on PBL have printed teaching materials with A4 paper size, combined with attractive pictures, illustrations, and colors, containing real problems around students such as the eutrophication of Rawa Pening and the eruption of Mount Merapi, and containing PBL syntax according to Arends (2012). Students 'classical completeness was 86.11% with an increase in students' understanding of the concept of the medium category. The average percentage of students' skills competency assessment obtained very good criteria. Students responded very well in large-scale trials.

Abstract

Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge is a framework that integrates technology into aspects of pedagogy and content. TPACK ability is very important for prospective teachers in era 4.0. Prospective teachers who have TPACK skills will be better than teachers who only have PCK capabilities, in addition to TPACK prospective teachers also need to master the concept of materials that will be delivered when teaching. Prospective teachers who have mastery of good concepts can avoid inconsistencies that occur in students, because prospective teachers will explain according to the correct concept. Prospective teachers who do not master the concept of science well are feared to be the cause of misconceptions in students. The purpose of this study is to describe the ability of TPACK prospective biology teachers, master the concept of prospective biology teachers, and analyze the relationship between the two. The sample from this study was prospective biology teacher students in semesters 8 and 10 which amounted to 64 students. This study uses a correlation research design with test instruments in the form of multiple choice and non-test questions in the form of structured interview guidelines The results of the data analysis showed that the aspect of TK (58%), PK (63%), CK (64%), TPK (61%), TCK (62%) belonged to the sufficient category, while the PCK aspect (80%) was in the good category. Mastery of the concept of prospective teachers is in the medium category, with mastery of the highest concept on the concept of grouping animals based on their phylum, while the lowest is in the concept of ecosystems. From the results of mastery of the following concept is a concept measured mastery, namely the concept of biodiversity, classification of 5 kingdoms, viruses, fungi, plantae, animalia, cells, plant tissues, animal tissues, ecosystems, motion systems, digestive system, nervous system, growth and development, enzymes, genes, inheritance of traits, and evolution. Analysis of the two variables, namely TPACK and mastery of concepts, was tested using product moment correlation and produced the number 0.230 which makes TPACK and mastery of the concept is in a low category. Supporting aspects such as CK, TCK and PCK even when tested only pck aspects that occupy the medium category, for the CK and TCK aspects occupy the low category. This is because TPACK has technological and pedagogical aspects as well, so when connected with mastery of the concept of low correlation results.

Abstract

Distance learning requires teachers to take advantage of digital platforms in order to continue to carry out learning activities. Therefore, a learning management system (LMS) emerged as a solution. One form of LMS that is most widely used in Indonesia, including at SMAN 9 Bandar Lampung, is Google Classroom. The purpose of this study is to analyze how much influence the creativity of teachers in using LMS has on students' interest and learning outcomes during the Covid-19 pandemic. The approach in this research is quantitative with ex post facto design. The sample is 178 students of class XI IPA SMAN 9 Bandar Lampung. Research data was obtained through questionnaires distributed online, as well as documentation of mid-semester assessment scores from Biology teachers. The results showed that the creativity of teachers 1, 3 and 4 showed a data significance of < 0.005, which proves that teacher creativity has a significant influence on student learning outcomes. Reinforced by the coefficients sequentially, namely: 0.646, 0.675, and 0.812, which means that 1% of the increase in teacher creativity will have an impact on student interest in learning which will also increase by 64.6%, 67.5%, and 81.2%. , but the creativity of teachers 1, 2, and 4 on student learning outcomes has no significant effect, although there is a significant effect on teacher 3 with a coefficient of 0.028, and still shows a relatively small effect of 2.8%, so it can be concluded that teacher creativity in utilizing LMS can affect student learning interest, but is not able to have a significant impact on student learning outcomes which have the potential to be influenced by other internal and external factors.

Abstract

Biology learning in high school is expected to be able to improve students' abilities in facing challenges and competition in the 21st century era. One of the students' abilities that need to be improved is critical thinking skills because students' critical thinking skills in Indonesia are still relatively low. This is evidenced by the TIMSS research which states that Indonesia's average score is still far from the international average score. Critical thinking skills are needed in excretory system material so that students can analyze the relationship between human life patterns and disorders of the excretory system. There is no material on human life patterns that affect the excretory organs in textbooks, so a complementary teaching material is needed. This study aims to analyze the validity, readability, and effectiveness of the developed e-supplement teaching materials. The research method used in this research is Research and Development (R&D) according to Sugiyono which has been modified. The indicators measured in the study were the validity, readability, and effectiveness of PBL-based e-supplement teaching materials. The validity of the e-supplement of teaching materials is determined from the validation of material experts, media experts, and biology teachers. Meanwhile, the readability of e-supplements for teaching materials was determined from the responses of nine students in class XI-MIPA 2 and a biology teacher. The results of the effectiveness were determined based on the classical completeness test and the N-Gain test from the results of the pretest-posttest students of class XI-MIPA 1 and XI-MIPA 2. The results showed that the percentage of the validity of e-supplements teaching materials was 88% with very valid criteria and the percentage of readability of e-supplements teaching materials was 84.88% with very good criteria. While the effectiveness test got 78% classical completeness, the N-Gain result was 0.5 (medium), and critical thinking ability was 71.76 (critical). The conclusion obtained from this research is that the e-supplement of PBL-based teaching materials on excretory system material is valid, reads very well, and is effective for improving critical thinking skills of high school students.
