In cycle II: 34 students (94%) were able to think critically and 2 students (6%) were less able to think critically with a class average score on the final test of 81.82. The conclusion of this study showed that applying a problem-based learning model to renewable energy materials can improve students’ critical thinking skills.

Community Empowerment Through PPK Ormawa To Strengthen Interest In Reading Rural Communities

Community service is a key activity of student organizations (Ormawa) to foster social awareness, empathy, and solidarity through science, technology, arts, and culture. The Student Organization Capacity Strengthening Program (PPK Ormawa), funded by the Directorate General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology, aims to enhance Ormawa's quality and develop students' soft skills and competencies. In 2023, HIMA PGSD/HIMMI of Alma Ata University received a grant to implement PPK Ormawa in Kalurahan Muntuk-Dlingo, Bantul Regency, focusing on boosting reading interest in rural communities. The activities included learning guidance to strengthen literacy and numeracy, utilizing the Service-Learning (S-L) method. Over four months, the program created a reading-friendly environment, formed regular reading groups, and developed STEAM-based learning modules. Post-test results showed significant improvement, with mastery levels increasing from 35% to 96% and the class average score rising from 64.28 to 89.96. PPK Ormawa successfully enhanced participants' literacy and numeracy understanding and built a lifelong learning environment. Future recommendations include updating literacy content, providing continuous training, conducting literacy campaigns, collaborating with educational institutions and local communities, and regular evaluations.

Effectiveness of Using Macbox Media to Improve Students’Grammar Mastery

Grammar as essential aspect of English component helps students to recognize pattern and avoid errors. Alternative media is needed to make grammar learning more successful since students find it challenging to master grammar when it is taught using conventional method. This research aimed to find out about how effectively Macbox media works to help students in improving their grammar mastery. True-experimental research design was used in this research by using class X MA Matholi'ul Huda Bugel students as the research population. The two classes used as sample are 36 students of XG as the experimental class and 38 students of XH as the control class. Both classes received pre-test, treatment and post-test in order to gather research data. Then, SPSS 25.0 was utilized to examine the data outcomes. The findings of the research showed that the differences were seen in the two classes' average scores. For pre-test, the experimental class's average pre-test score was 48.47, while the control class' was 48.02. For post-test, the experimental class’s average score was 75,41 and the control class’ was 62,76. The significance value for both classes was revealed by the independent sample t-test analysis result, which were 0.000 (sig (2-tailed) < 0,05). It means that there are the significant differences between both classes. The result and discussion show the use of Macbox media is significantly effective in improving students’ grammar mastery. It means that the use of Macbox media is more effective in improving students' grammar mastery compared to the use of conventional learning method
