Enhancing students' relational understanding through the development of higher order thinking skills (HOTS)-based student worksheet

Relational comprehension represents a critical skill that students should acquire to correctly associate concepts. This investigation aims to cultivate a High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based Student Worksheet that is both valid and practical, as well as effective, with the potential to significantly influence the relational comprehension of senior high school students. The 'design research' method, incorporating a 'formative research' development model, is used in this research, which is broken down into two stages: initial assessment and self-review. This study was carried out at Muhammadiyah 1 High School in Palembang, focusing on tenth-grade students. Data was evaluated qualitatively in a descriptive manner, founded on observations, interviews, and tests. The study's findings highlight that the developed HOTS-based student worksheet is valid, practical, and efficient in boosting students' relational comprehension once implemented in the classroom. The test outcomes indicate that students possess a reasonably good ability to comprehend HOTS category C4 problems, but are lacking in understanding HOTS category C5 problems. Therefore, additional research is deemed necessary to enhance students' understanding of HOTS category C5 problems.

The Efficacy of Task-Based Learning and Learning Motivation on Student’s Reading Comprehension: A Wholistic Study

This study explores the impact of Task-Based Learning (TBL) and student motivation on the reading comprehension abilities of eighth-grade students with a moderate level of English proficiency. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of TBL in improving reading comprehension outcomes and investigate the relationship between TBL, student motivation, and reading comprehension performance. The study includes sixty-four participants aged 12-14 from a public junior high school in Palembang, Indonesia. The control group receives traditional instruction, while the experimental group is taught using TBL. Pretests and posttests evaluate reading comprehension, and a questionnaire measures student motivation levels. The results reveal significant improvements in reading comprehension scores for both groups. The experimental group demonstrates an average post-test score increase of 69.88%, indicating the efficacy of TBL. While student motivation influences outcomes, no significant interaction with TBL is observed. These findings emphasize the effectiveness of TBL in enhancing reading comprehension for students with moderate English proficiency and underscore the importance of considering motivation in instructional practices. Educators can utilize these insights to enhance instructional strategies and optimize reading comprehension outcomes for similar student populations.

Analysis of The Need for Digital Teaching Materials Vibration and Wave Materials in Class XI of Integrated Islamic High School

The curriculum with this scientific approach focuses more on the use of teaching materials with the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in all fields of study taught by teachers. In fact, physics learning is more often done by reading books and memorizing equations and students interact less with the surrounding environment to improve their ability to solve physics problems. An alternative solution to this problem is the development of digital teaching materials in the form of E-modules for physics subjects. Before developing these teaching materials, it is necessary to hold an introduction to the main research on the development of digital teaching materials. The purpose of this study is to analyze the need to design a draft of physics teaching materials in the form of Quran-based E-modules. The benefit in this study is to find out the analysis of the need for digital teaching materials for physics subjects.
