Implementasi Model Pembelajaran PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite And Review) untuk Meningkatkan Pemahamanan Siswa Terkait Materi Pokok Tanah dan Organisme Tanah di Kelas IX-7 MTsN 2 Kota Bima

Learning that has been taking place in the classroom has not been able to attract attention so that students seem apathetic towards the material presented by the teacher. Students who actively ask or answer teacher or friend questions are still very low. Soil and Soil Organisms are no exception. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to apply the PQ4R model (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite and Review). The PQ4R model is a refinement of the PQRST (Preview, Question, Read, State and Test) and SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review) models. The learning model is a way of studying texts (readings), especially those contained in books, scientific articles and research reports specifically to understand the contents of the text. The PQ4R model can help students to remember what they have read and forbid students to remember what they have read and forbid students about how to learn, how to remember and how to think. After conducting two cycles of classroom action research, it can be concluded that the application of the PQ4R learning model has been able to improve student learning outcomes in cognitive and affective aspects

Enhancing students’ thinking skills through project-based learning in biology

This research aims to enhance students' thinking skills (TS) through a project-based learning (PBL) intervention in two cycles of classroom action research (CAR) on the topic of the Ecosystem. TS was determined by the quantity and quality of the students' questions (SQ) and statements (SS), which were determined based on Bloom's taxonomy. The research target was students in grade X (N=31) of one social science class at a public high school in Surakarta. Their TS were rated as low during the Pre-cycle. Based on their verbal activities, the students were categorized into five active (A) and non-active (NA) groups (A-1, A-2, NA-1, NA-2, and NA-3). The NA students were more engaged after the two cycles of CAR. Although the A-1 and A-2 students posed more SQ and SS than the NA students, some of the NA-1, NA-2, and NA-3 students performed positively. In the Pre-cycle, only the C1 and C2 cognitive levels were detected, mostly as factual and conceptual. During the CAR, however, C4, C5, and C6 were found as procedural. In Cycle II, we can find a few examples of metacognition. Overall, this research has shown that PBL can be used to increase student learning engagement. They become active communicators. There was evidence that the quality of students' questions and statements improved to the level of C6 and metacognition. Hopefully, further research can be conducted on the impact of grouping strategies during PBL activities by purposively combining high-achieving students or actively questioning and giving their peers statements in the opposite situation.
