Innovation Learning Geography with ArcGIS Online: The Impact to Skills Collaborative and Achievement Student School Upper Intermediate

2024-07-01T08:41:50+00:00

Purpose of the study: The aim of this research is to examine the influence of ArcGIS Online learning media on collaborative skills and student learning outcomes at State Senior High School 1 Mojo, Kediri Regency.

Methodology: The research used a quasi-experimental method with a Post-test Only Control Design. The tool used is ArcGIS Online from ESRI. The research population was class 10 students at Mojo 1 High School, Kediri, academic year 2023/2024, with samples selected randomly for the experimental and control classes. Data was collected through observation of collaborative skills and post-test for learning outcomes. Observations were carried out with the help of three observers using a collaborative skills observation instrument based on a Likert scale. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS, including the ANOVA test for homogeneity, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality, and the T test to test significant differences between the experimental and control classes.

Main Findings: The use of ArcGIS Online as a learning medium shows a significant increase in collaborative skills and student learning achievement compared to conventional learning media. Post-test and observation results show higher scores in the experimental class.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This research introduces the use of ArcGIS Online as a geography learning medium, which has not been widely implemented in high schools. This study shows that the use of this technology can significantly improve students' collaborative skills and learning outcomes.

Learning Revolution: The Positive Impact of Computer Simulations on Science Achievement in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah

2024-07-01T23:59:07+00:00

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to investigate the impact of using computer simulation media on the learning achievement of elementary school students in Natural Sciences, particularly focusing on fourth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ma'arif Global Blotongan Salatiga.

Methodology: The study employed a quasi-experimental design using computer simulation media for experimental group teaching and conventional methods for the control group. The sample was taken using a purposive sampling technique, in which two classes were selected from the class IV population, namely one class as the experimental group and one class as the control group. Each class consists of 30 students. Data collection involved pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires to measure student interest and motivation. Analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistical methods.

Main Findings: The study found a significant increase in learning achievement among students who used computer simulation media compared to those who did not. Post-test results revealed higher scores for the experimental group. Questionnaire responses indicated increased student interest and motivation in the experimental group.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to the existing literature by specifically examining the effectiveness of computer simulation media in enhancing learning outcomes in Natural Sciences among elementary school students in a Madrasah setting. It fills a gap in research by providing empirical evidence of the positive impact of such media on student performance and motivation, thus advocating for the integration of technology in primary education.

Innovation Learning with POE: Improve Understanding Student to Equality Square

2024-07-01T08:47:33+00:00

Purpose of the study: This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) worksheets in improving students' understanding of quadratic equations.

Methodology: The study employed a mixed-method approach, specifically the sequential explanatory type. It involved quantitative data collection through pre- and post-tests, as well as qualitative data from structured interviews with teachers and students. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent sample t-tests

Main Findings: This study presents several significant main findings. Firstly, the experimental group exhibited a notable improvement in cognitive function compared to the control group. Secondly, there was a positive correlation between the level of physical activity and cognitive performance. Lastly, regular physical exercise was associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline in older adults. These findings underscore the importance of physical activity in maintaining cognitive health and provide valuable insights for cognitive health maintenance among older adults.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces evidence supporting the link between physical activity and cognitive function in older adults, providing insights into effective strategies for mitigating cognitive decline through exercise interventions. The findings contribute to existing knowledge by emphasizing the importance of lifestyle factors in preserving cognitive health.

Transforming History Teaching: Using Adobe Photoshop E-Posters to Teach the Battle of November 10, 1945

2024-07-01T08:48:18+00:00

Purpose of the study: This research focuses on designing an e-poster using adobe photoshop to teach the battle of 10 November 1945 to class 11 social science 2 and 11 social science 3 high school State 1 Jambi City. It aims to assess students' learning interests using e-poster media and identify differences in these interests.

Methodology: This research uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model. The research subjects were class XI students. The data collection instruments for this research are open interviews and validation questionnaires as well as student learning interest questionnaires. Data analysis uses parametric statistics for quantitative data and qualitative data using the Miles and Huberman models.

Main Findings: The main results of this research show that E-Poster media based on Adobe Photoshop is effective in increasing students' interest in learning. The average interest in learning in the experimental class is higher compared to the control class. The t test confirmed a significant difference with a p-value of 0.011. Validation by material and media experts shows that the E-Poster is very good and suitable for use. Small and large group trials received very positive responses from students, indicating the success of this learning media in increasing students' interest and motivation to learn.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research is the development and use of Adobe Photoshop-based E-Poster media for history learning, which has proven effective in increasing students' interest in learning.

Integration of the POE Model and Metaphoral Thinking in Student Worksheets: Improving Mathematical Reasoning Abilities in the Modern Education Era

2024-07-01T08:49:55+00:00

Purpose of the study: This research aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of POE-based (Predict, Observe, Explain) student worksheets using a Metaphorical Thinking approach to enhance the mathematical reasoning abilities of class 9 students at Public Middle School.

Methodology: This research aims to find out how to develop student worksheets based on POE (Predict, Observe, Explain) through a Metaphoral Thinking approach oriented towards the mathematical reasoning abilities of junior high school students in class 9 and find out the effectiveness of student worksheet products based on POE (Predict, Observe, Explain) through Metaphoral Thinking approach to the mathematical reasoning abilities of Public Middle School 7 Banjit students in class 9.
