Cooperative Learning Teams Games Tournament (TGT) with Content Differentiation Approach: An Effort to Improve Student Learning Outcomes in Whole Number Topics

Students often perceive mathematics as difficult and abstract, negatively affecting their interest and motivation to learn. The Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model was chosen because it incorporates healthy competition into the learning process, encouraging students to engage more actively. The main objective of this study is to improve the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in a whole number topics by applying the Cooperative Learning Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model with a content differentiation approach. This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR) carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The research subjects were 27 fourth-grade students at SDN Sidosermo I Surabaya in the 2023/2024 academic year. Learning outcome data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to assess students’ understanding before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis methods to describe the average scores and the percentage of student mastery in each cycle. Based on the pre-test results, the average student score was 61.48, with a mastery rate of 40.74%, which is below the minimum passing criterion (KKM) of 75. After the intervention in Cycle 1, the average score increased to 80.85, with a mastery rate of 52%. In Cycle 2, following strategy improvements, the average score reached 86.78, with 85% mastery. These results indicate that the TGT model with a content differentiation approach is effective in improving students' understanding and learning outcomes, surpassing the 80% mastery criterion.

Enhancing Indonesian EFL Students’ Reading Comprehension of Report Texts through KWL Strategy with Multimedia: A Classroom Action Research

The significance of reading is undeniable in the English learning process. Thus, students need to be equipped with reading strategies to help them develop their English language. This study sought to improve students’ reading comprehension and attitude through the use of know-want-learn (KWL) strategy in conjunction with multimedia. Classroom Action Research was employed involving 28 students in the ninth grade. Several instruments were utilized, i.e., reading comprehension tests, interview, observation checklist, and field notes. The mean scores of the reading tests increased from baseline (53) to cycle 2 (80.54) indicating that the result had achieved the criteria of success. It could be inferred that implementing KWL strategy with multimedia in the pre-reading stage enhanced students’ reading comprehension. Two factors affecting the students’ reading comprehension were identified, i.e., the teacher’s participation and topic familiarity. The strategy was also found to foster students’ participation and provide students with a concise framework to develop their English reading skills. This study therefore has contributed to the existing literature of English reading strategy and offered meaningful pedagogical implications for English teachers to harness the strategy incorporated with the use of current media such as pictures and videos to teach English reading.

Implementing Project-Based Learning Model (PjBL) to Develop Students’ Writing Skills in Composing Academic Texts

This study aimed at enhancing students' ability to compose academic writing by implementing the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model. The urgency of this research arises from the challenges faced by the students in academic proposal writing, often perceived as a major barrier in completing their education. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), divided into two cycles with stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subject comprises 22 seventh-semester students in the research proposal writing course at Institut Pendidikan Nusantara Global. The collected data through observation, interviews, and tests were then analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. The result of the study indicated a significant improvement in proposal writing skills. In the pre-cycle stage, 36% of the 22 students were in the “sufficient” category. After implementing the PjBL method in cycle I, there was an improvement with 43% of students in the “good” category and 21% in the “very good” category. In Cycle II, results improved further: 50% of students were in the “good” category and 36% in the “very good” category, while the “sufficient” category dropped to 14%, with none in the “poor” category. This research shows that PjBL was effective in improving proposal writing skills, engaging students in critical and creative thinking, and strengthening written communication.

Application of the asicc learning model in human physiological system to improve students' critical thinking and creative thinking skills

Critical thinking and creative thinking skills are needed to improve the quality and competitive human resources. Therefore, the application of appropriate learning models is expected to stimulate students' critical thinking and creative thinking skills. This research aims to improve critical thinking and creative thinking skill scores using the ASICC learning model. This type of research is classroom action research which is carried out in 2 cycles, with 3 meetings in each cycle. Data on students' critical thinking and creative thinking skills were collected using essay tests on science learning materials. Data analysis was carried out by comparing the N-gain scores in cycle 1 and cycle 2 for students' critical thinking and creative thinking skills. The results of the research revealed that there was an increase that occurred in cycle 2, namely 5.6% in the aspects of moderate critical thinking skills and high creative thinking, as well as in the aspects of critical thinking skills and high creative thinking by 5.6%. Meanwhile, in the previous cycle, these two aspects did not have a high category. Another result found from this research is that students who have low critical thinking skills do not necessarily have low creative thinking skills. This is because students who have low critical thinking skills may have moderate creative thinking skills or vice versa. Thus, the application of the ASICC learning model is effective in improving the scores of critical thinking skills and creative thinking skills of students at Junior High School 5 Kertosono.
