Conceptual Model of Technology-Enabled Creative Learning Community

This paper proposes a definition of Creative Learning Community (CLC) that is enabled with technology and its conceptual model in Graduate School of Telkom University. As rooted to learning community term, CLC is defined as a teaching and learning approach within a learning community that consists of a group of students and faculty member that uses creative learning concept. This study adapts the Design Science Research Framework in Information System by Hevner et al to build the conceptual model. First, the study synthesizes existing literature on learning community and creative learning community to define CLC term. Second, based on a review of previous studies and books on learning community, creative thinking, group creativity, engaged learning, student learning outcomes and technology supporting creative learning community, the author analyzes construct candidates of the model. Third, after selecting constructs from the candidates, the study continues by designing the conceptual model of technology-enabled creative learning community. The model was tested the implementations of learning community in Graduate School of Telkom University. The findings provide several conceptual and managerial insights into the role of technology in supporting creative learning community. Future work will need to evaluate the model in the context of other engineering

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Knisley untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Pemahaman Konseptual Siswa

This research aims to find out the impact of Knisley’s learning model to improve students’ conceptual understanding ability of circle material. Knisley’s learning model is based on well-structured knowledge to relate new concepts to students’ previous knowledge and experiences. This study is quantitative research, using quasi-experimental research methods, and the research design uses a non-equivalent control group design. In the pretest, it was obtained that tcount<ttable (1,426<2,01063) and sig. (2-tailed) > 0,05 where 0,160 > 0,05, so from the results of the pretest, it was concluded that there was no difference in conceptual understanding between the control class and the experimental class on the circle material at MTs An-Nur Bululawang. In the posttest, tcount> ttable (2.105 > 2.01063) and sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05 where 0.041 < 0.05 as a result of the post-test questions, it was determined that the control and experimental classes at MTs An-Nur Bululawang had a different conceptual grasp of the circular material. The Knisley learning paradigm can improve students' conceptual comprehension skills, according to the findings of this study, and is effective if applied in students’ mathematics learning

EFEKTIVITAS MODEL CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING PROCEDURS TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS DALAM PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA DI SD KELAS V

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Conceptual Understanding Procedurs model on critical thinking skills in fifth grade mathematics learning. This study used an experimental research type. The research design uses experiments, the research design used is the Nonequivalent Control Group Design.

Testing the hypothesis to be analyzed is using the Independent T-test and the N-Gain test. The research results obtained are : the Conceptual Understanding Procedures (CUPs) model is effective for students' critical thinking skills in mathematics in elementary mathematics learning.Keywords: CUPs, Critical Thinking AbilityÂ

Comparison Learning Model AIR and TAI Combined With Cognitive Conflict Strategy Againts Active Learning and Concept Understanding

Abstract:  There are several problems in the learning process of Basic Electricity and Electronics at SMK Negeri 8 Malang, including: (1) When learning takes place students do not pay attention and listen to the teacher when delivering material, (2) The teacher does not focus on learning activities to students, (3) Students are less active in asking and expressing his opinion about the material that has been taught. This study uses a variety of learning models and methods that can improve students' learning activeness and conceptual understanding, namely the Auditory, Intellectual, Repetition (AIR) learning model and the Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) learning model, each of which is combined with cognitive conflict strategies. The research design used a quasi experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design type. The data analysis technique consisted of normality test, homogeneity test, two mean similarity test, and hypothesis testing. The conclusion of this study is that the AIR learning model combined with cognitive conflict strategies is superior to the TAI learning model combined with cognitive conflict strategie

Penerapan Project Based Learning (PjBL) Terbimbing untuk Meningkatkan Keaktifan dan Pemahaman Siswa pada Konsep Momentum, Impuls, dan Tumbukan

This study aims to analyze the increase in students' activeness and conceptual understanding after the guided Project Based Learning (PjBL) model is applied. The research method used was a pre-experimental one group pretest-postest design. The research instruments included test and non-test instruments. The test instrument in this study was a reasoned multiple choice. The non-test instrument uses student activeness observation sheets. Students' activeness and conceptual understanding were analyzed using the N-Gain test. The significance of increasing students' activeness and understanding of concepts was analyzed using the Wilcoxon mathced pairs test. The results of the data analysis showed that the students' activeness and conceptual understanding of the Momentum, Impulse, and Collision material after being applied to guided PjBL experienced a low increase with N-Gain of 0.20 and 0.22. The results of the significance test of students' activeness and conceptual understanding were obtained values of 0.041 and 0.000 (0.050). Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the implementation of the guided Project Based Learning model was able to significantly increase the activeness and understanding of students' concepts in the material Momentum, Impulse and Collision at Nurul Islami High School

Problem-Based Learning To Improve Concept Understanding and Critical Thinking Ability of Science Education Undergraduate Students

This reserach was conducted to improve conceptual understanding and critical thinking ability of fourth-semester students of the Science education study program, Bengkulu University by applying  PBL. The research method used in this study is quasi experimental, which in its implementation uses single class or one group pretest-posttest design. The test question was the instrument used in this study. The findings showed that there was an improvement in students‘ conceptual understanding and critical thinking ability of students‘ since implementing problem-based learning models in environmental chemistry courses. This improvement can be seen from the results of the gain test for  each class group on the test of conceptual understanding and critical thinking ability which are in the "medium" category, while the t-test results for concept understanding and critical thinking ability show a significant difference (0.000 <0.05). ), In other words, the implementation of the PBL  learning influences the students‘ conceptual understanding and critical thinking ability. Further the implementation of the problem-based learning model in teaching and learning process presents problems with real conditions so that it can stimulate students to not only think and understand at the rote level but also interpret the problem. Quiet in-depth research on the implementation of problem-based learning models in learning is highly recommended to get more comprehensive results

On the Design of Social Media for Learning

This paper presents two conceptual models that we have developed for understanding ways that social media can support learning. One model relates to the “social” aspect of social media, describing the different ways that people can learn with and from each other, in one or more of three social forms: groups, networks and sets. The other model relates to the ‘media’ side of social media, describing how technologies are constructed and the roles that people play in creating and enacting them, treating them in terms of softness and hardness. The two models are complementary: neither provides a complete picture but, in combination, they help to explain how and why different uses of social media may succeed or fail and, as importantly, are intended to help us design learning activities that make most effective use of the technologies. We offer some suggestions as to how media used to support different social forms can be softened and hardened for different kinds of learning applications
