Abstract

Research is based on the mastery of problem solving abilities is still low and the teaching materials used in learning lack training and develop students' problem-solving abilities. This study aims to develop a module based on problem-based learning and contains multiple levels of representation in the solubility material and its solubility product which is feasible and to determine the improvement of students' good problem solving abilities. The research method used is research and development (Research and Development) and the learning modules are arranged according to PBL. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, tests and questionnaires. The results of the validation of the material experts, linguists and media experts respectively showed very good results with an assessment percentage of 93.98%, 86.03% and 88.39%. The results of module trials by students through questionnaires received very good feasibility assessments with a percentage of 78.89% and the results of module trials by teachers got very good assessments with a percentage of 96.83%. The results of the application of problem-based learning modules obtained data in the form of pretest-posttest values which were tested using the n-gain test. The n-gain test results obtained a value of 0.56 in the medium category. The results of this test indicate that there has been an increase in the problem-solving abilities of students after using the module. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the PBL-based chemistry learning module on the solubility material and the solubility product developed is very effective and suitable for use in chemistry learning processes in schools.

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of integrated Natural Science learning by using a scientific approach-based module to improve students’ creative thinking Skill at substance pressure concept. The module was developed by employing a 4D model by Thiagarajan, Semmel Semmel (1974) with one group pretest-posttest design. The research involved 30 students at SMP Negeri 2 Luwuk, particularly in class VIII A2 and its instrument was creative thinking skill test adopted and composed from a test developed by Hu, Weiping (2002) and Panjaitan (2014). The instrument comprised 3 indicators which were thinking fluency, thinking flexibility, and thinking originality. It used average normalized gain as analysis. The finding of research showed that the result of the normalized N-gain test differed in each of creative thinking indicator. The values of N-gain for an aspect of fluency was 0.58 with a medium category, for an aspect of flexibility was 0.57 with medium category and for an aspect of originality was 0.13 with a low category. In brief, the average value of N-gain for all creative thinking indicators was 0.42 with a medium category. To conclude, the finding confirmed that the integrated Natural Science learning by using scientific approach-based module was effective in improving students’ creative thinking skill at substance pressure concept.

Abstract

Generalization is a reasoning in making conclusions that contain symbolism and are general. Semiotics have an important role in the process of generalization, in which generalize the pattern not only seen from the work of students but based on the process of students in understanding and making things. This paper aims to describe how junior high school students generalize patterns based on semiotic perspectives. The type of this research is descriptive qualitative in which data obtained by test, interview and observation. The subjects consist of 3 students of grade VIII junior high school students of 1 high, moderate, and low mathematics students. The findings of this research are at the factual stage the three subjects have the same gesture and word. But in the contextual phase each subject has a different way or step of work in accordance with the understanding possessed by each subject and the last stage of the symbolization of the three subjects can create the same formula. This paper is expected to be used as a reference for teachers to understand the ability of students in the generalization process.

Abstract

Blended Learning combines the advantages of online learning and conventional classroom. However, merely combining online learning and conventional classroom might not fulfill students’ need, and could lead to unexpected failure. Therefore, it is necessary to know the students’ readiness, which is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of this learning model. This is a qualitative and quantitative descriptive research, aims to describe the  students’ readiness for Blended Learning implementation, viewed from the students’ attitude towards learning aspects in Blended Learning. The questionnaires were distributed to 108 students of the Faculty of Information and Technology to know the use of technology, internet access, online activities, and the students’ attitude toward learning aspects.  In-depth interviews to the students were conducted to know deeper on the students’ attitude toward the learning aspects in BL. The findings show that the students were very ready for the implementation of Blended Learning. It can be seen from students’ positive atitude toward online aspects (learning flexibility, online learning, online interaction, and study management), as much as 83%, higher that the score of their attitude toward conventional classroom learning which is 77%. The students’readiness is a foundation for the successful implementation of Blended Learning, which should be supported by both lecturers and organization.

Abstract

This study is a preliminary research on how students understand patterns. Students' understanding of something is a cognitive phenomenon as, according to information processing perspective, an integral part of the stimulus, receiving, encoding, storing and retrieving information. This paper aims to describe the information processing by students when they interpret the graph as a task that was delivered using takjil context. There are 9 seven graders aged 11-12 years in various mathematics ability that three students in each its category high, mid and low. It was found that: (1) The graph given in the task attract students' attention with various reasons. (2) The level of abstraction and processing is in accordance with students' mathematical abilities. (3) The number of words related to the context activated at certain period was determined by reviews of their experiences with similar contexts. (4) Concepts of a new schemes were not solely determined by the students' mathematical abilities. Broadly, this study recommends students to have learning experiences through varying contexts and gain extensive experiences to develop appropriate and useful cognitive schemes for solving problems. How to CiteMampouw, H.
