Pengembangan LKPD Berbasis Kontekstual yang Berorientasi Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Matematis Siswa Sekolah Menengah Pertama

2025-02-01T17:37:52+08:00

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik (LKPD) berbasis kontekstual yang berorientasi pada peningkatan kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis siswa kelas VII SMP. LKPD dirancang menggunakan model pengembangan ADDIE yang mencakup lima tahap utama: analisis, desain, pengembangan, implementasi, dan evaluasi. Penelitian ini difokuskan pada materi segi empat, yang mencakup persegi, persegi panjang, jajar genjang, belah ketupat, trapesium, dan layang-layang. Validasi dilakukan oleh para ahli media dan materi, menghasilkan skor validitas sebesar 90,5% yang termasuk dalam kategori sangat valid. Dari segi kepraktisan, respons guru menunjukkan skor 90% sedangkan respons siswa mencapai 91,6%, yang keduanya dikategorikan sangat praktis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa LKPD ini tidak hanya valid dan praktis, tetapi juga efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa. LKPD ini membantu siswa memahami materi secara lebih kontekstual, relevan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari, dan mendorong mereka untuk berpikir kritis melalui latihan-latihan yang sistematis. Oleh karena itu, LKPD ini direkomendasikan untuk digunakan sebagai alat bantu pembelajaran pada materi geometri lainnya guna mendukung pembelajaran yang lebih interaktif dan bermakna.

2025-02-02T00:24:27+08:00

Keluarga merupakan unit sosial terkecil yang utama bagi seorang anak, sebelum ia berkenalan dengan dunia sekitarnya. Di SMP Negeri 1 Baitussalam kenakalan remaja kerap terjadi seperti tawuran, berbohong merokok dan memukul. Sehingga peneliti ingin meneliti apakah perilaku orang tua beruhubungan dengan kenakalan yang mereka lakukan. Metode yang di lakukan peneliti adalah metode kuantitatif dengan Populasi penelitian kelas IX dan sampel yang digunakan kelas IX-1 dengan jumlah 31 siswa dengan teknik random sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan skala liket. Dari hasil penelitian uji normalitas dan uji korelasi menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara perilaku orang tua dengan kenakalan remaja. Berdasarkan hasil uji korelasi dapat diketahui kriteria penerimaan sampel berdasarkan nilai menerima Ho dan menolak H1 apabila p > 0,05 dan menolak Ho dan menerima H1 apabila p < 0,05. Dari tabel di atas diketahui bahwa p = 0,002 < 0,05 sehingga H1 diterima (0,535 > 0,05) dan menolak Ho (tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara perilaku orang tua dengan kenakalan remaja). Hasil penelitian hubungan antara perilaku orang tua dengan kenakalan remaja menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif signifikan dengan tingkat hubungan pada kategori sedang (r=0,407).

Assessing The Influence Of Personalized Learning And Hands-On Science Engagements On Scientific Inquiry Skills Among Early Childhood Care And Primary Education Students

2025-02-20T23:00:17+08:00

This study investigates the impact of personalized learning and hands-on science engagements on the development of scientific inquiry skills among early childhood care and primary education students. The study employed a descriptive survey design in Anambra state, encompassing 143 participants with different demographics. A self-structured questionnaire underwent validation and reliability testing. Data collection utilized a survey-based approach through Google Forms, ensuring diverse participant engagement and representing Early childhood care and primary education students. The survey incorporated Likert scales for nuanced feedback. Data analysis included various statistical measures, illustrating response occurrences, percentages, and descriptive statistics. The ANOVA methodology tested hypotheses, revealing significant differences among group means. The results reveal that personalized learning significantly enhances critical thinking, hypothesis formulation, experimental design, and evidence-based conclusions. Concurrently, hands-on science engagements contribute to deepening inquiry skills, enhancing problem-solving abilities, and creating memorable learning experiences. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring educational experiences and incorporating practical activities to foster a holistic development of scientific inquiry skills among young learners. The study contributes to the evolving landscape of educational methodologies and carries implications for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to optimize learning environments for Early childhood care and primary education students.

Students' low understanding results in low test scores obtained by students and not reaching the specified KKTP (Criteria for Completion of Learning Objectives) so that these students are considered incomplete. The remedial implementation strategy can be implemented by re-learning with different, better methods and media. In this digital era, the potential for using technology in learning is very large. By utilizing online-based learning media, such as interactive learning videos, students can be more actively involved in the remedial learning process. Therefore, researchers want to develop learning media in the form of online-based remedial learning videos. This research is development research that follows the stages of the ADDIE development model. The data analysis techniques used in this research are validation data analysis techniques and practicality test data analysis. The research results showed that the learning videos developed were valid with an assessment of 71% by media experts and 87.5% by material experts, in the good category. Therefore, the process and results of developing online-based remedial learning videos have great potential to become digital-based learning videos that can be used in remedial learning.

The Impact Of Exchange Rate On Debt In The Gambia: A Non-Linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model

2025-02-28T00:21:24+08:00

This study investigates the relationship between exchange rate fluctuations and debt sustainability in The Gambia. Unstable currency rate remains a major problem to countries’ economy especially external debt which The Gambia is faced with. To achieve the objective of this study, we employed non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model to explore both short-term and long-term effect. Our study revealed that exchange rate volatility was found to significantly influence The Gambia’s external debt dynamics, particularly through the reduction of the Gambian Dalasi (GMD) against major currencies, which raises the cost of servicing foreign-denominated debt and strains fiscal resources. The study reveals that a 1% depreciation of GMD increases external debt by 6.6% in the short run, underlining the immediate impact of currency fluctuations on debt accumulation. This research highlights that exchange rate volatility can undermine investor confidence and escalate borrowing costs, and exacerbates debt challenges. In terms of policy recommendations, the study emphasizes the importance of robust debt sustainability analysis (DSA), effective currency management, and export-driven growth to mitigate the adverse effects of exchange rate fluctuations. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers in The Gambia, suggesting strategies to improve fiscal resilience and manage exchange rate-induced economic risk.

A Quantitative Study on Using Dictogloss in Improving Students’ Note-taking Skills in Listening Class.

2025-04-22T21:55:26+08:00

This Quantitative study investigate the use of Dictogloss to improve students’ listening skills in formal setting. The participants were 29 English Department students of UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. Data were collected through an experimental teaching along with pre-test and post-test, and also questionnaire. The findings indicate that the use of dictogloss affected students’ note-taking skills in which the difference of mean score between pre-test (M = 38,2) and post-test (M = 53,8), and the result of paired samples test also proved that there was a significant difference in the scores. The result shows that dictogloss and note-taking gave positive effect for students listening skill. Moreover, the students could recognize the unfamiliar words by using dictogloss stage as well as lectures be remembered by taking a note.
