Improving Learning Outcomes of Students of Class VII A Social Studies Subjects Through Mind Mapping Media.

The minimal use of media in learning activities can cause student learning outcomes to decline. This is because learning tends to use the lecture method, assignments depend on textbooks, are less interesting and learning feels boring. As a result, students become inactive and reluctant to listen to explanations of the material presented by the teacher, so that students do not understand the material being studied. This research method uses Classroom Action Research (PTK), earch cycle consists of four stages, namely the planning stage, action implementation, observation and reflection. Data collection techniques include observation, tests, questionnaires, documentation, interviews, teacher observation sheets and student activity observation sheets. Based on research, it shows that mind mapping learning media can improve student learning outcomes. In cycle I the cognitive domain reached a percentage of 63.23 (poor category), the affective domain reached a percentage of 62.66 (good category) and the psychomotor domain reached a percentage 35.5 (very poor category) then in cycle II there was an increase, namely in the cognitive domain the percentage 78.43 (very good category), affective domain of 82 (very good category) and psychomotor domain 84.5 (very good category). Thus, it can be concluded that mind mapping learning media can improve the learning outcomes of class VII A students in social studies at SMP Negeri 8 Pamekasan.

Assessment of Quality of Life in Advanced-Stage Lung Cancer Patients Using EORTC QLQ-C30 Questionnaire

Introduction: Quality of life (QoL) is a multidomain concept that assesses a person through health status, functional status, and symptoms. The patient's QoL is greatly reduced due to the course of disease, severity of symptoms, and side effects of chemotherapy treatment. This study aimed to assess the QoL in advanced lung cancer patients using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). Methods: This descriptive and observational study was conducted at the Pulmonary Polyclinic, Prof. Dr. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) Hospital from February to July 2024, with a cross-sectional design using patient medical records and EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire was analyzed with a score formula and categorized as good, moderate, and bad. The sample was 100 lung cancer patients using a purposive sampling technique according to the criteria. Results: The results showed that almost all QoL was in the moderate category (80%). The general health status was mostly in the moderate category (61.66%), the functional status was mostly in the good category (75.35%), and the symptoms were in the moderate category (35.65%). In the functional scale, the role domain had the lowest mean, 69.99 ± 29.43. In the symptoms scale, the pain domain had the highest mean, 52.66 ± 29.43. Conclusion: The overall QoL of lung cancer patients was in the moderate category, lower than the healthy population. It needs to be improved, especially in the role domain, by providing supportive-expressive group therapy.

Design of Tools for Visualizing Thermodynamic Concepts in Steam Power Plant Trainer Processes with Web-Based Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

Thermodynamics is considered one of the most complex and challenging subjects for many students. This is primarily due to comprehending abstract concepts such as entropy, enthalpy, and energy flow, which involve complex mathematical equations and are rarely accompanied by tangible visualizations. This research aims to design, develop, and test a data-based visualization tool for thermodynamics testing results. This study collected and processed data from thermodynamics testing and simulations, such as the mini-steam power plant trainer used as a teaching aid in thermodynamics education, as the foundation for designing a data-based visualization tool for thermodynamics concepts. The visualization tool was created using the Python programming language integrated with the web-based Streamlit framework. The designed visualization tool encompasses various features, including automated data reporting, visualization of variable correlations using correlation heatmaps, Sankey diagrams for visualizing energy flow, and the capability to predict electrical output using machine learning integrated with three different machine learning algorithms. The visualization tool was evaluated by thermodynamics experts using a Likert scale. Based on the results obtained, the experts gave an average score of 4 in the information accuracy aspect in the good category. This shows that the information displayed in this visualization tool is by thermodynamics learning at Padang State University. In the visualization aspect, experts gave an average score of 4.25, which is in the Good and Very Good range. In alignment with the education aspect, experts gave an average score of 3.75, which is close to the good category. This shows that this aspect is considered suitable for studying thermodynamics, although shortcomings still need to be corrected. Experts gave a relatively high assessment of the Ease-of-Use aspect, with an average score of 4.5, with a range of Good and Very Good. This enables students to better understand complex patterns, cause-and-effect relationships, and parameter changes within thermodynamics concepts.

Application of the Search Solve Create Share Learning Model to Metacognitive Awareness and Learning Outcomes

This research aims to determine metacognitive awareness and learning outcomes through the search, solve, create and share (SSCS) learning model. This research was conducted on second-semester Biology Education Study Program students who took the Introduction to Education course. Metacognitive awareness data was collected using a modified questionnaire from the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory, then analysed qualitatively with four categories from not yet developed to very well developed. Learning outcome data is collected through tests and then analysed qualitatively, using five categories: very poor to very good. The metacognitive awareness results were dominated by students in the very well-developed category, as many as 48 people (96%), while the learning outcomes were dominated by students in the good category, as many as 24 people (48%). In conclusion, through the SSCS learning model, students can: (1). Manage their cognitive abilities and overcome their shortcomings very well; (2). Building independence, critical thinking, creativity, and self-confidence improves learning outcomes.

The Relationship Between HIV/AIDS Knowledge Levels and Teen Attitudes Towards Premarital Sex

Adolescence is a stage characterized by rapid changes and challenges that can be difficult to face due to limited knowledge, particularly about HIV/AIDS. Knowledge plays a crucial role in shaping attitudes, which can influence changes in perceptions of premarital sex. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between HIV/AIDS knowledge levels and teen attitudes towards premarital sex. The research employs a descriptive correlational method with a cross-sectional approach, involving 208 respondents selected through proportional stratified random sampling. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire. The results revealed that 100 respondents (48.1%) fell into the adequate knowledge category, 90 (43.3%) were in the good knowledge category, and 18 (8.7%) were categorized as having poor knowledge. Regarding attitudes towards premarital sex, 198 respondents (95.2%) exhibited a positive attitude, while 10 (4.8%) displayed a negative attitude. The Spearman rank correlation test yielded a p-value of 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes, with a very weak correlation in a positive direction. This means that as adolescents' understanding of HIV/AIDS increases, their attitudes become more positive. The study recommends adding resources about HIV/AIDS and premarital sex in schools and suggests that future research should focus on selecting appropriate educational methods for HIV/AIDS prevention.
