Building conceptual understanding of students on laws of newton through argument-driven inquiry

Newton's law plays an important role in learning mechanics and explaining real-life phenomena, but students find it difficult to understand. This study aimed to build students' conceptual understanding and to describe students' difficulties with Newton's law after the Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) model learning process is implemented. This study used a quasi-experiment (pre-and post-test) design Pre- and Post-test design with the research subject of 50 tenth grade students in public high schools in Pamekasan, Indonesia. Students are distributed into the experimental class (ADI learning) and the control class (conventional learning). The instrument of this study was Newton's law understanding test in the form of reasoned multiple-choice questions with a reliability of 0.82. The research data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test, ANCOVA, N-gain, d-effect, and a description of the reasons for students' answers. The results showed that conceptual understanding was not influenced by the initial state, but rather influenced by the ADI model. Improved conceptual understanding in the experimental class (medium category) is higher one level compared to the control class (low category). After the learning process, both classes students still have difficulty in the concept of a=F/m and its application, and objects in an inertial frame. However, the difficulties of the conventional class students are compounded by the friction, and Newton's I, II, and III laws concepts

Manajemen Halaqoh Bahasa Untuk Meningkatkan Maharaoh Kalam Di Pesantren: (Halaqoh Language Management to Improve Maharaoh Kalam in Islamic Boarding Schools)

Halaqoh merupakan salah satu program Pembelajaran Bahasa yang dipakai oleh pondok pesantren Daarul Lughoh Wadda'wah untuk menjadikan sebuah pembelajaran yang efesien dan efektif.dalam artikel ini Peneliti mendeskripsikan bagaimana dampak manajemen halaqoh itu sendiri terhadap peningkatan maharoh kalam, yang didalamnya memuat tentang kelasifikasi siswa, perencanaan, organisasi dan implementasi.kitab yg dipakai dihalaqoh ini adalah kitab muhawaroh dan husnul isgho'. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan studi kasus. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 250 siswa dengan 2 guru angkatan 2020/2021 dihalaqoh pondok pesantren Daarul Lughoh Wadda'wah bangil. teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara, observasi dan dukumentasi. Teknik analisis data menggunakan teknik analisis deskriptif Miles dan Huberman. Adapun hasil dalam penelitian ini adalah sebagai berikut: 1) penerapan halaqoh bahasa arab di Pondok Pesantren Daarul Lughoh terdiri dari 2 jenjang, yg akan dikategorikan  untuk jenjang pertama dinamakan kelas i'dadi/pemula yang meliputi siswa SMP dari kelas 1 s/d kelas 3, Sedangkan untuk jenjang ke 2 dinamakan Al-Mutawassith yg meliliputi santri SMA/MA. 2) perencanaan dari halaqoh yg sudah ditetapkan oleh pondok yang diambil dari hasil rapat bulanan dan semester. 3) Pelaksanaan halaqoh diterapakan langsung dg cara talaqqi kitab husnul isgho' dimana dalam  kegiatan tersebut langung di organisir oleh bagian qismu al-lughoh serta disela-sela tersebut diberikan motivasi dalam pembelajaran yg dikemas dengan bentuk nasihat 4) Evaluasi dilakukan secara berkala, semester dan tahunan dengan pemberian soal secara lisan atau syafahi. Adapun manajemen halaqoh tersendiri berdampak baik terhadap institusi pendidikan dan dirasakan oleh santri sebagai anggota halaqoh dan guru sebagai musyrif, hal ini dibuktikan dengan meningkatnya peserta didik baru dan kepercayaan masyarakat tentang kwalitas Pondok)

Model Mental Siswa dalam Argument Driven Inquiry Berbasis Fenomena Disertai Penilaian Formatif pada Materi Hukum Newton

Tujuan penelitian adalah mendiskripsikan model mental siswa dalam pembelajaran Argument Driven Inquiry (ADI) berbasis fenomena disertai penilaian formatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan mixed method desain embedded experimental model. Subjek penelitian X IPA-1 dengan 26 siswa di SMAN 1 Pademawu. Instrumen penelitian berupa enam soal uraian. Data penelitian dianalisis dengan menggunakan t-paired test, N-gain, dan effect size. Hasil penelitian dikategorikan dalam tiga tipe model mental surface, matching, dan deep. Hasil penilitian didapatkan bahwa ADI berbasis fenomena disertai penilaian formatif berpengaruh kuat terhadap model mental siswa dengan nilai effect size 1.86. Selain itu diperoleh informasi bahwa peningkatan model mental siswa dalam kategori rendah dengan nilai N-gain 0.2

Upaya Penurunan Kejadian Karies Gigi pada Anak melalui Colouring Book sebagai Media Health Education di Sekolah Dasar Wilayah Gresik

The incidence of dental and oral health problems in school-age children is still quite high, so it is necessary to provide health education with appropriate media for them. The results of the survey at Madrasah Ibtidayyah Negeri 1 Gresik class 1 showed that 80% of children had cavities. None of the students' teeth were filled. 64% of children have tooth decay / teeth, and this triggers the high incidence of dental infections in children. 80% of children brush their teeth twice a day. 63% of children do not have the habit of brushing their teeth before going to bed. The response through a digital survey to the use of health education media in the form of coloring books makes children happy and is expected to increase children's desire to maintain dental health as in the boo

Epidemiology and risk factors of Strongyloides stercoralis infection in Papua, Indonesia: a molecular diagnostic study

Strongyloides stercoralis is a parasitic worm that is of considerable clinical relevance. Indeed, it may persist asymptomatically for many years, but can lead to potentially fatal dissemination when the host's immune status is impaired. As commonly employed stool microscopy techniques (e.g. Kato-Katz thick smear) fail to detect S. stercoralis, the epidemiology is poorly understood. In 2013, we conducted a cross-sectional household survey in the district of Mimika in Papua, Indonesia. A total of 331 individuals, aged 1 month to 44 years, had a single stool sample subjected to real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for S. stercoralis diagnosis. The prevalence of S. stercoralis infection was 32.0% (106/331 individuals); higher than any of the three main soil-transmitted helminths (Ascaris lumbricoides, 23.9%; Trichuris trichiura, 18.4%; and hookworm, 17.2%). Amongst the S. stercoralis-infected individuals, 73.6% were concurrently infected with another helminth, with hookworm being the most frequent co-infection (27.4%). Fourteen percent of the S. stercoralis infections had low cycle threshold values on real-time PCR, which may indicate a higher infection intensity. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age ≥5 years (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 5.8, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.1-10.8) was significantly associated with S. stercoralis infection. There is a need for in-depth clinical and diagnostic studies to elucidate the public health impact of S. stercoralis infection in Indonesia
