Development of Augmented Reality Atlas Volcano Series Media in Social Sciences Learning

The purpose of this research is to determine 1) the development of Augmented Reality Atlas Volcano Series media (ARAVS) that is suitable for use; 2) increasing student learning outcomes from the cognitive aspect; and 3) find out students' responses to interest after using the ARAVS media. This research and development (R&D) process refers to design model of Dick and Carey. The trial of the developed product was carried out at Model Terpadu Bojonegoro State High School with a field trial sample of 120 class X students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired sample t-test, and discriminant test. The results of the product development validation test from social studies learning developer experts and learning media experts are in the very feasible category. The results of small group trials are in the feasible category, and field trials are in the very feasible category. The results of the t-test on cognitive aspects showed that there was an increase in student learning outcomes on volcanism in social studies subjects after using AR media. Students have a positive interest in using the ARAVS because the media (ARAVS) is considered concrete, innovative, and interactive. Media (ARAVS) is not boring and is not difficult to adapt to social studies learning. In general, the formative evaluation shows that the product resulting from this development is very suitable for use as an alternative to virtual and digital-based media in social studies learning on Volcanism material.

Pengaruh Penerapan Model Inquiry Learning Berbantuan Modul Terhadap Hasil Belajar Siswa pada Mata Pelajaran IPS Kelas VII SMPN 12 Padang

Based on the results of observations at SMPN 12 Padang, a problem was found that most of the grade VII students in the Social Sciences (IPS) subject still did not reach the limit of the Learning Goal Achievement Criteria (KKTP) that had been set. This is because the teaching and learning process is still centered on teachers (teacher centred) and the use of models that are not suitable for learning activities. This study proves that the application of the Inquiry Learning learning model supported by learning modules significantly improves student learning outcomes in social studies subjects in grade VII of SMPN 12 Padang. This study uses a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample was taken by purposive sampling by dividing students into two groups: an experimental group taught using the Inquiry Learning model and a control group taught by conventional methods. The main data collection technique is through learning outcome tests given before and after treatment. Data analysis was carried out using a t-test to compare the average post-test scores of the two groups. The results of the analysis showed a significant difference between the two groups, where the experimental group obtained a higher average score. This indicates that the Inquiry Learning model is effective in improving students' conceptual understanding of social studies subjects.

The role of education in developing effective problem solvers, critical thinkers, and responsible members of society is of great importance. This research deals with the low performance in social studies subjects caused by the continued application of conventional teaching models. The aim of this study is to improve the learning outcomes of grade V students in social studies subjects at SD INPRES 3 Talise by applying the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. This classroom action research was conducted in two cycles, following the Kemmis and McTaggart model, involving 22 students from grade V. Data were collected through tests, observations, and interviews, then analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Initial observations revealed that only 36.36% of students achieved the learning objectives with an average score of 50.90. The implementation of PBL involved the collaborative planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. The results demonstrated significant improvements in student engagement and learning outcomes. The average score increased, and the percentage of students who achieved the learning objectives rose significantly, respectively from 63.63 in cycle I to 81.59 in cycle II. However, the average score did not yet reach the KKM. Furthermore, the percentage of completeness has also increased, namely in cycle I by 59.09% and cycle II by 86.36%. This research demonstrates that PBL can effectively enhance the quality of social studies education by fostering learning.

Selection of essential materials in social studies subjects through a differentiated approach according to Carol Tomlinson

One of the key elements of the Merdeka Curriculum is the implementation of essential materials, which are deemed crucial and must be delivered to students. However, limited research has focused on essential materials within social studies subjects. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis of how teachers apply essential materials in social studies. Based on this need, the objective of this study is to analyze the selection of essential materials by social studies teachers using a differentiated approach, as proposed by Carol Tomlinson. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, gathering secondary data sources relevant to the research topic. The data consists of journal articles from 2019 to 2024, retrieved using Harzing's Publish or Perish software. The subjects of this study are high school social studies teachers, with a focus on their practices in teaching essential materials. The findings reveal that teachers have selected essential materials that are both relevant and engaging for students. This is evidenced by the use of learning media that resonates with students' daily lives, as well as digital-based teaching methods such as problem-based learning (PBL), gamification, and field studies. As a result, students are able to easily grasp the material, enhancing their motivation, conceptual understanding, and engagement in the learning process.

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.

IMPROVING SOCIAL STUDIES LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF E-COMIC LEARNING MEDIA

The aim of this research is to improve student learning achievement in social studies subjects through the application of e-comic learning media. The data collection method is a learning achievement test. The data analysis method is descriptive for both qualitative data and quantitative data. The results obtained from this research are that the application of e-comic learning media can improve student learning achievement. This is evident from the results obtained initially reaching an average value of 60.76, in cycle I reaching an average value of 70.51 and in cycle II reaching an average value of 79.74. The percentage of student learning completeness has also increased. At the beginning of learning, students' learning completion only reached 30.76%. In cycle I there was an increase to 82.05%, and in cycle II student learning completion increased to 100%. The conclusion obtained from this research is that the application of e-comic learning media can improve social studies learning achievement.
