Short story writing is one of the productive language skills that demands creativity, logic, and mastery of narrative structure. This skill not only fosters self-expression but also enhances students’ critical and imaginative thinking. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the CIRC learning model in improving students’ short story writing skills. The research was conducted at MA Muslimin Cijenuk with a sample of 30 eleventh-grade students. A mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design w as employed. Data were collected through tests, observations, questionnaires, and interviews. The CIRC learning model was implemented in two sessions involving activities such as reading, group discussions, writing, feedback, and revision. The findings indicate a significant increase in post-test scores compared to pre-test scores. The average score improved from 57.00 to 82.33, suggesting that the CIRC model is effective in enhancing students’ short story writing skills.

The Development of Mathematical Literacy Instrument: A Case on Indonesian Traditional Game Called “Engklek”
No full textMathematical literacy constitutes a fundamental competency that enables learners to apply mathematical concepts in solving problems within everyday contexts. However, a considerable number of students continue to encounter challenges in establishing connections between mathematical knowledge and real-world applications. This circumstance underscores the necessity of developing assessment instruments that are both valid and reliable. Accordingly, the presents study seeks to construct a test instrument designed to assess students’ mathematical literacy skills through an exploratory approach grounded in the Indonesian traditional game Engklek. The research adopted the 4D development framework, consisting of the stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. During the define stage, a comprehensive needs analysis was conducted, followed by the formulation of assessment indicators. At the design stage, test items were systematically developed by integrating components of mathematical literacy with contextual elements from Engklek. The develop stage encompassed expert validation, wherein several dimensions-namely clarities of instructions, appropriateness of illustrations, diversity and difficulty of test items, application of mathematical concepts, and opportunities for reasoning-were rigorously evaluated. Finally, the disseminate stage comprised limited trials accompanied by the collection of student responses. The expert validation result demonstrated strong feasibility, across the evaluated aspects. Empirical validation produced a validity coefficient of 0,514, categorized as moderate, while reliability test yielded a coefficient of 0,786644, reflecting a high level of reliability. Furthermore, limited trials conducted with Grade 7 and 8 students showed a positive response with an average percentage score of 65%. Based on these findings, the developed test instrument can be regarded as valid, reliable, and pedagogically suitable for assessing students’ mathematical literacy in an engaging and contextually meaningful manner
The Effect of Problem Based Learning on Students’ Mathematical Problem Solving Skills
No full textThis study was motivated by the low mathematical problem-solving skills of students at SMP Negeri 2 Suwawa, which is believed to be caused by the use of the Direct Instruction model that has not effectively supported the development of such skills. This study aimed to examine the effect of implementing the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities, particularly on the topic of Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables (SPLDV). The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design with a nonequivalent group. The participants were students of classes VIII-3 and VIII-4 at SMP Negeri 2 Suwawa, selected through cluster random sampling. The instrument used was a test measuring mathematical problem-solving skills based on SPLDV material. The hypothesis was tested using the t-test, which yielded a result of tₕ = 3.767 > tₜ = 2.024, indicating that students taught using the PBL model had significantly higher average problem-solving abilities than those taught using the Direct Instruction model. Additionally, the effect size calculated with Cohen’s d was 1.191, categorized as a high effect. These results suggest that the implementation of Problem-Based Learning significantly enhances students' mathematical problem-solving skills and can serve as an effective alternative to traditional instructional models in mathematics learning
The Development of Google Classroom-Assisted Interactive Learning Media to Improve Mathematical Understanding on Pythagorean Theorem
No full textMathematics is a fundamental discipline that plays an essential role in developing logical, analytical, and critical thinking skills. However, many students still face difficulties in understanding abstract concepts such as the Pythagorean theorem, which negatively impacts their learning motivation and outcomes. The purpose of this study was to design and develop interactive learning media based on Google Classroom for teaching the Pythagorean theorem to eighth-grade students. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Six validators were involved, including three media experts, two material experts, and one mathematics teacher. In addition, small- and large-scale trials were conducted with 10 and 20 students, respectively. Research instruments included expert validation sheets, student and teacher questionnaires, and readability tests. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques with percentage calculations to determine the validity and practicality of the developed product. The results showed that the interactive media obtained an average score of 86% from material experts (very valid), 78% from media experts (valid), and 84% from student responses (practical). Students reported that the media was easy to use, attractive, and helpful in understanding the Pythagorean theorem, while the teacher assessed it as very practical for classroom use. In conclusion, the developed interactive learning media based on Google Classroom is categorized as valid and practical, making it a promising alternative resource for teaching mathematics in junior high schools

PERAN TUTOR DALAM PROSES PERKEMBANGAN SOSIAL ANAK USIA DINI DI PLATGROUP ISLAM EL-AKHYAAR CITEUREUP
Get PDFThis study aims to describe the role of tutors, the impact, and the factors that influence early childhood social development. This playgroup is designed to be an appropriate environment for play, aiding in the growth and development of children, particularly in their social development. Harlock (1978), as cited in Khadijah and Jf (2021:12), states that "social development means the acquisition of the ability to behave in accordance with social demands."
This research employs a case study method with a qualitative approach, involving interviews, observation, and documentation. The subjects of this study consisted of five respondents. Data analysis was carried out through a process of collection, presentation, reduction, and verification.
The findings indicate that tutors play a crucial role as facilitators in guiding and training children to exhibit good social behaviors such as adaptation, interaction, tolerance, and responsibility. Additionally, tutors serve as role models, whose attitudes and actions significantly influence children's social development in their external environment. The most influential factors in children's social development are their internal emotional and intellectual factors.
In conclusion, tutors at the El-Akhyaar Citeureup Islamic Playgroup have effectively fulfilled their roles in fostering good social behavior in children. However, it is recommended to build partnerships to implement programs that further support the process of children's growth and development.
