Profil Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis dalam Pembelajaran IPA di Sekolah Dasar pada Era Digital

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah sejauh mana kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa dalam konteks pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (IPA). Studi ini dilangsungkan pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2024/2025 dengan melibatkan siswa kelas VI B di SDN Kertajaya I, Surabaya, Jawa Timur, sebagai subjek penelitian. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif deskriptif dengan instrumen utama berupa soal esai. Kemampuan berpikir kritis dievaluasi melalui lima indikator, meliputi: kemampuan mengemukakan penjelasan sederhana, keterampilan dasar, penalaran lanjutan, penarikan kesimpulan, serta kemampuan merumuskan prediksi dan integrasi. Berdasarkan hasil pengukuran, rata-rata nilai siswa adalah 42 dengan rincian: penjelasan sederhana (41), keterampilan dasar (36), kesimpulan (39), penjelasan lanjutan (38), dan strategi serta integrasi (66). Temuan ini mengisyaratkan bahwa kapasitas berpikir kritis siswa masih tergolong rendah. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan alternatif strategi pembelajaran yang lebih dinamis dan inovatif, seperti penggunaan media flipbook digital, untuk mendorong penguatan kemampuan berpikir kritis dalam pembelajaran IPA.Kata Kunci: Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis; Pembelajaran IPA; Flipbook DigitalProfile of Critical Thinking Ability in Science Learning in Elementary Schools in the Digital EraABSTRACTThis study aims to examine the level of students’ critical thinking skills within the context of Science (IPA) instruction. The research was conducted during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, involving sixth-grade students from class VI B at SDN Kertajaya I, Surabaya, East Java. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, using essay-based test items as the main research instrument. Critical thinking abilities were assessed through five indicators: the ability to provide simple explanations, develop basic skills, offer advanced clarification, draw conclusions, and formulate predictions and integration. The test results revealed an average student score of 42 with the following breakdown: simple explanation (41), basic skills (36), conclusion (39), advanced clarification (38), and strategy and integration (66). These findings indicated that students’ critical thinking skills remain at a relatively low level. Therefore, a more dynamic and innovative instructional strategy such as the implementation of digital flipbook media is needed to foster improvement in students’ critical thinking abilities in Science learning

The Influence of Digital Literacy, Independence, and Learning Motivation on Student Learning Effectiveness Through Self-Efficacy

In the era of digital transformation, vocational students are required to master not only technical skills but also digital competence, learning autonomy, and strong motivation. However, various challenges such as low digital literacy, limited learning independence, and fluctuating motivation levels hinder the effectiveness of learning processes in vocational schools. This study aims to examine the influence of digital literacy, learning independence, and learning motivation on learning effectiveness, with self-efficacy acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach using an explanatory survey method was applied to a sample of 197 vocational high school students selected through proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that all three independent variables significantly affect learning effectiveness, both directly and indirectly through self-efficacy. Among them, self-efficacy demonstrated the strongest effect. The findings underscore the importance of enhancing students' self-efficacy to maximize the impact of digital literacy, autonomy, and motivation on learning outcomes. These results contribute to educational theory and practice by highlighting the mediating role of self-efficacy in vocational learning setting

Learning By Doing Model In Women Empowerment Through Micro, Small, And Medium Enterprises

This study aims to analyze women empowerment through Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) using the learning by doing approach in Imbanagara Village, Ciamis Regency. Women empowerment is a strategic effort to improve family welfare and encourage women's active participation in productive economic activities, particularly in home-based industries. The research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation with MSME actors and Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) managers. The findings indicate that the learning by doing model effectively enhances the skills, confidence, and business management capabilities of women engaged in MSMEs. Support from BUMDes, in the form of training, mentoring, and access to capital, significantly contributes to the success of women-led businesses. The integration of technology in product marketing has also been initiated, though it still requires further enhancement. This study concludes that women empowerment through MSMEs not only improves family income but also creates new job opportunities for the surrounding community. Therefore, further technological assistance and access to capital are necessary to ensure the program’s sustainability and optimal impac

Development of Interactive E-Quiz with Articulate Storyline: Transformation of Plane and Space Geometry Assessment in Higher Education

This research overcomes the problem of traditional assessments in Plane and Spatial Geometry courses which are often unable to measure students' mathematical spatial abilities effectively. Thus, the aim of this research is to develop and evaluate a computer-based assessment instrument using Articulate Storyline which is designed to improve the quality and efficiency of evaluation in this course. The research methodology follows the ADDIE development model, starting with an analysis of the needs of 2nd semester students of the Mathematics Department, FMIPA, Medan State University (UNIMED), followed by design, development, implementation and evaluation. The research results show that this instrument has a high level of validity and reliability, with the majority of students showing good skills in using digital devices and supporting network access. This instrument also received positive responses from students and lecturers, demonstrating its effectiveness in increasing engagement and understanding of the material. In conclusion, this computer-based instrument succeeded in improving the quality of evaluation, although this research was limited to several chapters and one institution. It is recommended that future research expand the scope of materials and implementation contexts to test the generalizability of results as well as overcome network access barriers, opening opportunities for further innovation in academic assessment

Evaluasi dan Perancangan Ulang Tata Letak Gudang PT X dengan Metode Class Based Storage

This research aims to optimize the storage layout in the warehouse of PT X Bekasi Branch through the application of the class-based storage method with ABC analysis. Currently, the placement of stock is still done randomly which causes difficulties in finding goods, as well as long distances and travel times in retrieving goods. This study was conducted for three months from September to November with a qualitative descriptive method. The stages of the class-based storage method are determining the location based on the class where class A (fast moving) must be close to the entrance and exit access, class B (medium moving) does not have to be so close and class C (slow moving) can be very far. The results of this study show a reduction in distance and travel time with a total average distance of 1,361 cm, a percentage of 11.01% and a reduction in time of 20.01%. In addition, it also obtains a class division to determine the distance to the outbound access into 3 categories, namely the fast moving category of 22 items, medium moving of 11 items and slow moving of 11 item
