Abstract

In buffer solution material, many students still do not complete it. This is due to the lack of variation in learning media. One of the right media is the truth or dare game. This media can help students to ask, answer questions, and share their ideas, so that it can help train students' argumentation skills which are still relatively low. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the truth or dare game media to train students' argumentation skills on the buffer solution material. The research design used a pre-experimental design, namely One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Implementation was carried out on 32 grade XI high school students. The instruments used were argumentation skills test sheets and knowledge learning results test. The data collection method used the test method. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, N-Gain, along individual and classical completeness tests. The results of the study indicate that the truth or dare game media is effective in training argumentation skills and students complete individually and classically.

Abstract

Basically, this experiment with a pendulum is inseparable from vibration. In this experiment we will use two methods to calculate the vibration period, namely through an insulated object at the end of the spring and the swing of the pendulum. The results of the vibration period calculation will be compared and analyzed using the two methods and it will be seen which method is more accurate in calculating the spring period. Based on the data obtained from observations, it can be concluded that from the two methods used, determining gravitational acceleration using a pendulum swing is more accurate. This is seen from the average value of gravitational acceleration (g), where we obtain the following values: g pendulum = 9.559 ms2 and g spring = 10.07 ms2. These two values indicate that the g value of the pendulum swing is closer to the general gravitational acceleration value, namely 9.81 ms2

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how students' conceptual comprehension is affected when the "kitchen preparation" approach is applied in the DNA isolation practicum. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group is the study methodology employed. Students from MAN 1 Banda Aceh's 12th grade, split into experimental and control groups, made up the research sample. While the control group engaged in traditional learning, the experimental group underwent treatment in the form of a practicum in kitchen preparation. The results of the hypothesis test demonstrated a significant difference in conceptual understanding between the experimental and control groups, with a p-value of 0.01 (p0.05). This suggests that students' conceptual understanding is positively impacted by the application of the kitchen preparation technique in the DNA isolation practicum. This study confirms the value of including straightforward, affordable, and pertinent practicums in biology education, particularly for intricate subjects like genetic materials

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Learning Management Systems (LMS) based on learning analytics on the academic performance of students in the Department of Physics Education at Universitas Syiah Kuala. Data were collected from 47 students, focusing on several indicators of LMS usage, including material access, task completion, and quiz participation. The analysis, as presented in Table 1, reveals significant positive correlations between LMS utilization and student GPA. Specifically, Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall correlation coefficients demonstrate strong associations (r 0.8, p 0.001) between the hours spent on the LMS and academic performance. Students frequently accessed learning materials more than completing assignments and quizzes, benefiting from the flexibility to study at their own pace. This adaptability is especially advantageous for students balancing academic and personal commitments, contributing to reduced stress levels and improved academic focus. The findings suggest that LMS utilization significantly enhances student GPA by enabling efficient time management and flexible learning schedules.

The purpose of this study is to ascertain and examine the effects of innovative behavior and the work environment on the motivation of teachers. Teachers at Banda Aceh City State High School served as the research participants, and a stratified proportional random sampling technique was used to create a sample size of 251 individuals. After determining the correlation between each research variable in the form of a matrix, the data were examined using route analysis. The findings indicate that innovative conduct has a positive impact on teacher work motivation of 0.309 and the work environment has a positive effect of 0.524 on teacher work motivation, according to the analysis of the influence of exogenous variables on endogenous variables in each substructure. The conclusion of the research results illustrates that there is a positive direct influence of the work environment on teacher work motivation of 22.9%, and there is a positive direct influence of innovative behavior on teacher work motivation of 17.6%. With a correlation coefficient of 0.728, the work environment and innovative conduct have an impact on teachers' job motivation at Banda Aceh City State High School concurrently. This indicates that there is a 56.4% significant effect of the work environment and inventive behavior on teacher work motivation in the adequate category. In other words, higher levels of these factors are associated with higher levels of teacher work motivation. On the other hand, teachers are less motivated to work in an environment that promotes innovation.
