Lingga Nurma Mukarromah — 2024-06-30

Background: Each student has different characteristics, they will develop certain attitudes, interests, appreciation and goals. Therefore, the teacher's duty is to form motivation that can encourage students to do something to achieve their learning goals. This research aims to determine the effect of applying audiovisual learning media in the form of songs based on culturally responsive teaching in improving students' learning motivation on biodiversity material. Method: This research applies the collaborative classroom action reasearch methods with a quantitative approach with to sudy subjects of 36 students. The instruments used were students' initial motivational interview sheets, learning implementation observation sheets, student attitudes and skills observation sheets, and student learning motivation questionnaires. Students' learning motivation measured in this study included 10 indicators of 1) There is desire. to be successful, 2) There is encouragement and need to learn, 3) Perseverance in facing tasks, 4) Tenacity in facing difficulties, 5) Independence in acting, 6) Providing time, 7) Trying to estimate the results of various strategies, 8) Enjoying finding and solving problems - questions, 9) Courage to face failure, 10) Ability to rise from failure. Results: The results show that percentage of student motivation in cycle 1 obtained an average motivation score of 74.27%, while in cycle 2 the average percentage of student motivation was 79.57%. Overall, the average percentage of student motivation in cycles 1 and 2 was 76.92%. Conclusion: The implementation of audiovisual learning media in the form of CRT-based songs in biodiversity material can improve students' learning motivation. This can be seen from the average percentage of students' learning motivation of 76.92% with moderate motivation interpretatios.

The Influence of E-Lkpd Problem Based Learning on Problem Solving Capability Students on Polluting Materials Environment

Tri Hartati Hartati — 2024-06-30

Background: LKPD used is still in printed form and is not yet varied so that students' problem solving abilities are not optimal. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of PBL-based E-LKPD on students' problem-solving abilities at MAN 1 Indramayu. Method: This research is a quantitative research with the research design True Experimental Post-test only control design. Population in this study were all students of class X IPA MAN 1 Indramayu with a sample of class X IPA 3 as the control class and class X IPA 2 as the experimental class. Sampling technique in this study was taken using the Cluster Sampling technique. Data were collected by problem solving techniques and observation tests. Test instrument in this study was a description to measure students' problem-solving abilities. The observation sheet instrument contains problem solving indicators, PBL learning syntax, student activities, constraints, and descriptions.. Results: Data analysis techniques using the t-test (Independent Sample T-test). Independent Sample T-test showed sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05, thus proving that there is a significant difference in the average increase in students' problem solving abilities between the experimental class and the control class. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is an effect of using PBL-based E-LKPD on students' problem-solving abilities.

The Use of Puzzle Learning Media to Increase Learning Motivation of Class XI Students on Tissue Structure and Function Material

Aulia Nur Januarti — 2024-06-30

Background: Learning motivation is a state of individual willingness or enthusiasm in planning and doing something in order to achieve predetermined goals. There are two objectives of this class action research, including to find out how to increase the motivation of students in class XI IPA 5 in the biology learning process of tissue structure and function material using puzzles as learning media, and to find out the implementation of the learning process of tissue structure and function that applies puzzle learning media in class XI IPA 5. Method: This study used class action research with the research subjects, namely 31 students of class XI IPA 5 SMA Negeri 9 Bogor City. There are two cycles with 4JP x 45 minutes for each research cycle. the instruments used in this study include a learning motivation questionnaire of 30 statements and a response questionnaire containing 10 statements for puzzle learning media based on a Likert scale. Results: Based on the data obtained regarding learning motivation by applying puzzle learning media, it is known that the average value of student motivation at the pre-cycle stage is 67%, the average value at the first cycle stage is 73%, and at the second cycle stage is 75%. The three average values are in the "high" category, besides that this figure also shows a significant increase in student motivation. The average value of the response questionnaire shown is 70% with the description "practical". Conclusion: There is a significant increase in learning motivation in students in learning the structure and function of tissues with puzzles that are practical to use as learning media
