Pengembangan Model Pembelajaran Savi dalam Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Siswa Melalui Domain Psikomotorik Siswa di SMAN 9 Kota Jambi

: Teachers as educators have an important role in determining the success of the teaching and learning process. Meanwhile, the learning model serves as a guide for teachers in carrying out the teaching and learning process. In choosing a learning model, it is determined by the level of student ability, the material to be taught, and also the goals to be achieved. In addition, each learning model has stages that students must know from the guidance provided by the teacher. The use of learning models that are appropriate to the situation and conditions will certainly have an impact on the sustainability of teaching and learning activities in the classroom. Based on the description of the previous data analysis table, both the control and experimental classes showed a fairly good increase. However, the average score is still far from the expectations and desired achievements. Thus, in teaching and learning activities that are carried out, it is very necessary to have a comprehensive planning and process for various factors and possibilities that can hinder or support the achievement of better learning in the future. Thus, it can be explained that gaps in learning can occur due to the conditions and timing of activities that have not been able to be optimized properly. Students are not only the cause but also the impact on the success of a teacher in carrying out teaching and learning activities. Therefore, encouraging students to study harder and harder can be appreciated through academic and intellectual activities and interactions, not only limited to the school's vision, mission, and goals

A Factor Mixture Model for Item Responses and Certainty of Response Indices to Identify Student Knowledge Profiles

AbstractThe certainty of response index (CRI) measures respondents' confidence level when answering an item. In conjunction with the answers to the items, previous studies have used descriptive statistics and arbitrary thresholds to identify student knowledge profiles with the CRIs. Whereas this approach overlooked the measurement error of the observed item responses and indices, we address this by proposing a factor mixture model that integrates a latent class model to detect student subgroups and a measurement model to control for student ability and confidence level. Applying the model to 773 seventh graders' responses to an algebra test, where some items were related to new material that had not been taught in class, we found two subgroups: (1) students who had high confidence in answering items involving the new material; and (2) students who had low confidence in answering items involving the new material but higher general self‐confidence than the first group. We regressed the posterior probability of the group membership on gender, prior achievement, and preview behavior and found preview behavior a significant factor associated with the membership. Finally, we discussed the implications of the current study for teaching practices and future research.
