Profile of Student’s Critical Thinking Skills and The Effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning Models Assisted by Digital Worksheet in Science Learning on Motion and Force Materials
No full textObjective: Critical thinking skills are one of the 21st-century skills that must be possessed by students in order to be able to adapt and compete on a global scale. This study aims to describe the profile of students' critical thinking skills and the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) models assisted by digital worksheets to improve students' critical thinking skills In Learning Science On Motion And Force Materials. Method: The research design is quantitative descriptive research. The subjects of this study were 102 students at SMPN 4 Waru with a simple random sampling method. Critical thinking skills tests are analyzed per indicator, which consists of giving simple explanations, building basic skills, concluding, giving advanced explanations, and setting strategies and tactics. Results: Based on the results of the analysis, it was obtained that the average proportion of students' thinking skills was in the low category. The indicator that gets the highest percentage is giving a simple explanation at the lowest indicator is setting strategy and tactics. Several factors cause this: learning rarely leads students to train and improve their critical thinking skills, the evaluation instruments used primarily using low cognitive tests, and the learning loss factor students experience while studying at home due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Novelty: Based on several research sources, it was concluded that applying the PBL model assisted by digital worksheets could effectively improve students' critical thinking skills in science learning

Effectiveness of Role Playing Cards (RPC) Learning Models Based on Madura Ethnic Entrepreneurship Values In Increasing Entrepreneurship Interest In Junior High School Students
No full textObjective: This research aims to measure the effectiveness of the RPC (RPC) learning model based on Madurese entrepreneurial values in increasing junior high school students' interest in entrepreneurship. Method: The method used in this research is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design, a non-equivalent design (pretest and post-test), and a control group design. Results: The research results show that the RPC learning model based on Madurese ethnic entrepreneurial values effectively increases junior high school students' interest in entrepreneurship. This can be seen from the average percentage of N-gain in the experimental class is 60.70%. Meanwhile, the average percentage of N-Gain for the control class is 16.00%. So, the conventional learning model in the control class is ineffective in increasing interest in entrepreneurship among junior high school students. Novelty: This learning model is the only role-play learning model developed with a combination of card games and based on ethnic entrepreneurial values to increase students' interest in entrepreneurship. The effectiveness of this learning model can contribute to social studies learning; that is, through creative learning, students' entrepreneurial interest in entrepreneurial activities can increase
Boosting the L2 Learners’ Reading Comprehension Capability by Employing Nearpod Media
No full textObjective: This study aimed to enhance L2 learners' reading comprehension by integrating Nearpod media into the teaching strategy at Universitas Almuslim. The main goal was to evaluate the effectiveness of this technology-based learning in boosting L2 reading comprehension. Method: A pre-experimental research design was employed in this study, in which the L2 learners at Universitas Almuslim were grouped without a control group for comparison. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted using the Nearpod platform to assess the L2 learners' reading comprehension skills. The data acquired from the pre-test and post-test were quantitatively analyzed with SPSS Statistics Output to determine whether or not there was a significant difference when using the Nearpod media in class. Results: The outcomes revealed a significant difference in the L2 reading comprehension when exposed to Nearpod. It showed that the post-test reading comprehension mean score was higher than the pre-test mean score. Thus, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, whereas the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Novelty: By integrating technology into the classroom, this study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on effective strategies for language learning. The findings emphasize the potential of Nearpod media to engage and empower L2 learners, providing a novel and prospective option for boosting language teaching, particularly in reading comprehension
