Comparison of the Effectiveness between Practical, Digital Video, and Conventional Learning Methods in Teaching Physical and Chemical Changes
Science plays a crucial role in developing students’ critical thinking and conceptual understanding of natural phenomena. However, science learning in schools is still dominated by teacher-centered conventional methods, resulting in low learning outcomes and limited scientific skills. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three learning methods, practical experiments, digital video, and conventional instruction, on students’ learning outcomes in the topic of physical and chemical changes at SMP Negeri 3 Cikancung. This research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The sample consisted of three classes selected purposively, each representing practical, digital video, and conventional learning groups. The research instrument was a validated and reliable learning achievement test. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney post hoc test. The results indicated a significant difference among the three learning methods with a significance value of 0.007. Further analysis revealed significant differences between the practical and conventional groups (p = 0.005) and between the practical and digital video groups (p = 0.009), while the digital video and conventional groups showed no significant difference (p = 0.468). It can be concluded that the practical learning method is the most effective in improving students’ learning outcomes, whereas digital video media serves as a useful complementary alternative when laboratory facilities are limited.

Pemetaan Kemampuan Berpikir Kreatif Peserta Didik Kelas XI Fase F di SMAN 4 Padang
Keterampilan berpikir kreatif merupakan salah satu kompetensi esensial di abad ke-21. Peserta didik harus memiliki kemampuan ini untuk menghadapi tantangan global dan mampu memecahkan permasalahan secara inovatif, khususnya dalam pembelajaran sains. Namun, kondisi di lapangan sering kali menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan ini belum dipetakan dan dikembangkan secara optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi awal serta menganalisis keterampilan berpikir kreatif peserta didik di SMA Negeri 4 Padang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif, sebagai tahap prasyarat dalam Penelitian Tindakan Kelas atau studi pendahuluan. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari empat kelas, yaitu kelas XI F1, XI F2, XI F3, dan Xi F4 di SMA Negeri 4 Padang. Instrumen pengumpulan data menggunakan lembar penilaian yang mengukur empat indikator keterampilan berpikir kreatif menurut Greenstein (2012), yaitu curiosity, fluency, flexibility, originality, dan elaboration. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata gabungan dari seluruh kelas berada pada angka 55,04 yang dikategorikan tidak kreatif. Keterampilan berpikir kreatif peserta didik masih perlu ditingkatkan secara signifikan, dan tingginya aspek curiosity dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai awalan untuk mengoptimalkan proses pembelajaran biologi melalui model pembelajaran inovatif seperti Inquiry Based Learning.

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Think Talk Write Terhadap Pemahaman Konsep IPA Siswa Kelas VII pada Materi Sistem Tata Surya
Science education in schools today still faces various challenges, one of which is students’ low conceptual understanding, which impacts their learning. Students tend to memorize material without understanding its meaning, the relationships between concepts, and their application in daily life. This situation is exacerbated by a teaching approach that remains teacher-centered. As a result, students’ engagement in thinking, speaking, and writing about what they understand has not yet reached an optimal level. The Think Talk Write (TTW) learning model is an alternative that can be used to address this issue. This study is quantitative and employs a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. Purposive sampling was used to determine the sample. The results of the hypothesis test showed that the significance value was 0.005, which is less than the significance level of 0.05 (p < 0.05). Therefore, H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted, indicating that the implementation of the TTW learning model has a significant effect on students’ conceptual understanding. In the class that used the TTW model, students’ conceptual understanding was better than in the class that used the conventional model. Teacher activities and student activities each accounted for 93%. The implementation of the TTW model was rated as “very good.”

MBG dan Ilusi Kesejahteraan Anak: Analisis Psikologi Perkembangan dan Psikobiologi Stres pada Kasus Bunuh Diri Anak Usia Sekolah Dasar
Tragedi bunuh diri seorang siswa sekolah dasar kelas IV di Nusa Tenggara Timur yang dipicu oleh ketidakmampuan menyediakan uang sebesar Rp10.000 untuk membeli buku sekolah menyingkap persoalan mendasar dalam pemahaman kesejahteraan anak di Indonesia. Peristiwa ini terjadi di tengah implementasi Program Makan Bergizi (MBG) yang berfokus pada pemenuhan kebutuhan biologis anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kasus tersebut menggunakan pendekatan psikologi perkembangan dan psikobiologi stres untuk mengkritisi keterbatasan paradigma kebijakan kesejahteraan anak yang bersifat reduksionistik. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan desain studi kasus konseptual dan kajian literatur interdisipliner. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa stres ekonomi kronis berdampak signifikan terhadap regulasi emosi, fungsi kognitif, dan perkembangan neurobiologis anak, khususnya melalui aktivasi sumbu hipotalamus pituitary adrenal (HPA axis). Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pemenuhan gizi tanpa intervensi psikososial dan penguatan ekonomi keluarga berpotensi menciptakan ilusi kesejahteraan. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pergeseran kebijakan kesejahteraan anak menuju pendekatan biopsikososial yang terintegrasi antara gizi, kesehatan mental, dan kesejahteraan keluarga.

Analisis Kebutuhan Pembelajaran Mekanika Kontekstual Berdasarkan Kearifan Lokal di Kalangan Mahasiswa di Maluku
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebutuhan pembelajaran mekanika kontekstual berbasis kearifan lokal pada siswa di wilayah kepulauan seperti Maluku. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed method. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 72 siswa dari dua satuan pendidikan di Maluku. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket, observasi, dan wawancara guru dan siswa, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesulitan siswa tidak hanya terletak pada penyelesaian soal hitungan (77,78%), tetapi juga pada pemahaman konsep gaya dan gerak serta rendahnya rasa percaya diri dalam belajar fisika. Pembelajaran yang berlangsung masih didominasi ceramah dan latihan soal (81,94%), minim praktikum, serta jarang dikaitkan dengan fenomena kehidupan sehari-hari. Di sisi lain, mayoritas siswa (>90%) menyatakan kebutuhan terhadap pembelajaran yang interaktif dan kontekstual, serta mendukung integrasi fenomena lokal seperti aktivitas perahu dan nelayan sebagai sumber belajar. Oleh karena itu, pengembangan pembelajaran mekanika kontekstual berbasis kearifan lokal Maluku menjadi kebutuhan pedagogis yang mendesak untuk meningkatkan pemahaman konsep, literasi sains, dan kebermaknaan belajar siswa di wilayah kepulauan.
