Abstract

The results of interviews with biology teachers in class XI MIPA at SMA Negeri 1 Slawi show that the 4C skills of students in class XI MIPA are low due to the absence of a variety of teaching materials and that the role of the teacher as a teacher has not been implemented properly. Therefore, a discovery-learning-based e-module was developed on coordination material to improve students' 4C skills. The purpose of this study was to analyse the feasibility, readability, and practicality of using e-modules and the improvement of students' 4C skills on coordination system material. This type of research is research and development, and the research design used is the development research design, according to Thiagarajan et al. (1974). The instruments used in this study were the product validation questionnaire, teacher response questionnaire, readability questionnaire, student response questionnaire, pre-test and post-test questions, observation sheet, and peer assessment. The results of the study showed that the e-module was feasible to use, obtaining an average score of 92.97%. Students' readability of the e-module obtained a score of 96.48% with very good criteria. Students' responses to the practicality of using e-modules amounted to 89.82%, with very practical criteria. The discovery learning-based e-module developed on coordination system material has an effect on students in the form of increasing their 4C skills. The conclusion of this research is that e-modules based on discovery learning on coordination system material are feasible and practical to use in learning coordination systems, have very good readability, and are effective in improving the 4C skills of SMA Negeri 1 Slawi students.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the critical thinking abilities of MAN 1 Bone students in ethnoscience-based biology learning in the era of digitalization. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The data processed are the results of student's critical thinking ability tests, observations and interviews with biology subject teachers and students with the highest test scores, three representatives from each class X.1, X.2 and X.5. The research results showed that student's critical thinking abilities based on the results of critical thinking ability tests in ethnoscience-based biology learning with ecosystem subjects for the even semester of the 2022-2023 academic year were in a very low category. Meanwhile, from learning activities, student's abilities are at varying levels based on critical thinking indicators. The indicator of providing further statements or explanations is at a fairly good level for the results of critical thinking ability tests and student learning activities. The indicators of providing basic statements or explanations, providing reasons for a decision, drawing conclusions or inferences, and providing feedback & reinforcement are at a level that is not good for critical thinking ability tests, while student learning activities are at a fairly good level. The results of this study indicate that it is important to increase student's mastery and understanding by integrating ethnoscience in learning so that they have critical thinking skills amidst the trend in the use of information technology.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the validity, feasibility and effectiveness of health case-based learning supplements to increase the level of concepts understanding and health literacy of high school students on immune system material. It is a type of R&D research using the development method by Sugiyono. The development process is carried out by conducting links to various articles related to Covid-19 infection cases in national and international journals. The supplement testing phase consists of three stages, namely validity test, feasibility test and effectiveness test. Validity tests include material validity tests and media validity tests conducted by material and media validators. The feasibility test and effectiveness test were carried out at Senior High School1 Tayu. The population of this study was all grade XI mathematics and natural sciences students at Senior High School 1 Tayu with class XI MIPA 4 as a sample. Sample selection is carried out using the purposive sampling method. In collecting data on the effectiveness of supplements to improve students' understanding of concepts and health literacy, a one group pretest-posttest design was used. Observation and interview sheets, validation questionnaire sheets, student and teacher response sheets, comprehension test questions and health literacy questionnaire sheets based on HLS-EU-Q indicators were the instruments used in this study. Based on the results of the material validity test and media validity, it shows that the supplement is in the very valid category with a percentage of material validity of 91% and media validity of 94%. Based on the results of the feasibility test from the responses of teachers and students, supplements get a percentage of 83% and 93.5% which are included in the very feasible criteria. Based on the results of the supplementation effectiveness test, students' concept understanding showed that 77.14% of students had reached the minimum completeness category whereas, the health literacy index score showed that 94.2% of students had achieved an adequate health literacy index. These results show that the CO-MMUNE learning supplement prepared based on Covid-19 cases is valid and feasible for use in learning and is effective in increasing understanding of the concept of immune system material and literacy student health. The use of health problems as learning materials in the classroom will provide a good understanding of health so that it has the opportunity to become a means of increasing health literacy.

Abstract

Learners need to observe various types of plants to achieve basic competencies in the subject of "Plantae." However, teachers find it challenging to manage learning activities outside the school environment. This research aims to: 1) analyze the influence of three different teaching methods on motivation, classification abilities, and data presentation, and 2) determine the most effective teaching method among the three.This study adopts a quantitative approach, specifically quasi-experimental research, using a non-equivalent control group design. The research population comprises all 10th-grade students in the Science Program (MIPA) at MAN 2 Banyumas, totaling six classes. The sample consists of three classes: X MIPA 2, which uses PlantNet + TGT, X MIPA 3, which uses TGT, and X MIPA 4, which employs discussion. Data collection methods include questionnaires, tests, and observation sheets. Data analysis techniques encompass statistical methods such as normality and homogeneity tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and post hoc tests.Based on the ANOVA analysis results for all three classes, a significance value of 0.00<0.05 was obtained. This indicates the impact of the techniques of analyzing images using the PlantNet application and TGT, TGT-based learning, and discussion-based learning on motivation, classification abilities, and data presentation. The least significant difference analysis shows that the PlantNet + TGT class had an average motivation score of 48.20, the TGT class had 36.69, and the discussion class had 28.64. The average increase in classification abilities was 35.25 for the PlantNet + TGT class, 21.18 for the TGT class, and 15.58 for the discussion class. In terms of data presentation abilities, the PlantNet + TGT class had an average increase of 25.02, the TGT class had 17.15, and the discussion class had 11.00. This indicates that the PlantNet + TGT class showed significantly higher improvement compared to the TGT and discussion classes.In conclusion, the study results indicate that all three teaching strategies, including the technique of analyzing images with the PlantNet application and TGT, TGT, and discussion, have an impact on motivation, classification abilities, and data presentation. Among these methods, teaching with the technique of analyzing images with the PlantNet application and TGT resulted in the highest improvement in motivation, classification abilities, and data presentation.
