JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF PROBLEM BASED LEARNING MODEL IN SCIENCE LEARNING

Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a learning approach that is often used in education in recent years. The purpose of this article is to find out how junior high school students perceive PBL model in science class and the benefits of PBL model in science learning. To find data related to junior high school students' perceptions of problem-based learning models in science classes, the researcher conducted a systematic review of several relevant sources with a period from 2014 to 2023, following the principles of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Based on the research results, it is known that the problem solving ability of students who learn using the PBL model is better than students who learn with conventional models. The results of this study prove PBL as an effective learning method for science compared to conventional teaching methods. PBL method is perceived to improve students' knowledge and communication skills. Based on several research results that have been conducted, it can be concluded that the PBL model has a positive impact on learning.

A PBL strategy for incorporating 3D cell culture into the classrooms of undergraduate biotechnology engineering students

ABSTRACT Background In Mexico, the undergraduate curriculum in biological, biomedical and related sciences only gives hands-on experience in 2D cell culture due to its low cost and ease of implementation. These traditional lecture-based cell culture courses are often limited to routine learning methods and fail to demonstrate alternative culture strategies that would be needed to realistically mimic the processes occurring within the human body and be used to solve relevant medical problems. The use of 3D cell culture, on the other hand, makes it possible to recreate a microenvironment similar to that of living tissue, which is extremely useful for physicochemical studies. Moreover, the incorporation of problem-based learning (PBL) techniques to teach 3D cell culture has the potential to greatly enhance student learning. Purpose The objective of the work herein was to evaluate the success of implementing a 3D cell culture technique using the PBL method of teaching. Sample In this pilot study, eight students attended a traditionally structured cell culture course to learn cell culture techniques (control group), and six students were taught using a PBL model. Design and methods The activities were carried out either with the guidance of an instructor (traditional learning) or through an autonomous search for information (PBL).3D cell culture and scaffold printing exercises were incorporated into the course schedule, fostering in our students the ability to solve real world problems within a team. Results With the PBL teaching method, students displayed a slight tendency to better interpret and discuss their results (P = 0.436). Conclusion This pilot study highlights the usefulness of self-learning through a PBL system and warrants larger-scale research to better examine the potential benefits of incorporating a PBL strategy for teaching 3D cell culture in undergraduate biotechnology engineering laboratories.

Fostering innovation in the perspective of the independent curriculum of Boyolali regency

Innovation can be applied in every aspect of life. Similarly, innovation can support the implementation of an accountable education system and support regional competitiveness.

Peningkatan Hasil Belajar dan Karakter Gotong Royong Siswa Kelas 2 SDN 07 Panjang

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of Problem-Based Learning methods (Problem-Based Learning or PBL) in improving learning outcomes and mutual cooperation character of students in Grade 2 SDN 07 Panjang. The background of this study is based on The Independent curriculum that emphasizes strengthening the profile of Pancasila students, including the dimension of mutual assistance that is very relevant to social life in Indonesia. However, the implementation of The Independent curriculum in SDN 07 Panjang faces challenges, such as limited facilities and the need for training for teachers. These challenges can affect the formation of mutual cooperation characters in students as well as their academic learning outcomes. In this study, theories related to learning outcomes, Catholic Religious Education, and Problem-Based Learning Methods (PBL) are used as a basis for designing learning that can improve learning outcomes and mutual cooperation characters. Theoretical foundations such as Piaget's cognitive theory, Skinner's behavioristic theory, and Vygotsky's constructivism help to understand the mechanisms of effective learning. In addition, The Independent curriculum applied in Catholic Religious Education in Phase A supports the use of PBL to build student character, especially mutual aid. Through previous research, it was found that PBL was able to improve students ' social skills and learning outcomes. Studies by Nurhayati (2019) and Lestari (2017) show that the application of PBL in Catholic Religious Education subjects successfully improves understanding of religious teaching materials, student participation, and mutual cooperation characters. This study used the method of class action (CLA) which was carried out in two cycles. Each cycle includes a 105-minute opening, core, and closing activity. Subjects were 26 students of Grade 2 SD Phase A. Data were collected through observation and learning outcomes tests. The results showed that the application of PBL method significantly improved students ' cognitive learning outcomes and strengthened the character of mutual cooperation. In Cycle 2, there was an increase in student participation in group activities and understanding of the material.
