The Influence of Batak Culture Problem Based Learning Models to Junior High School Students' Computational Thinking Ability

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat perbedaan berpikir komputasi siswa dengan model pembelajaran berdasarkan masalah-berbasis budaya Batak (PBM-B3) dengan konvensional). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen semu. Model yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah model Pembelajaran Berdasarkan Masalah-Berbasis Budaya Batak dengan subjek penelitian 46 orang siswa kelas VIII di SMP Advent 2 Medan. Objek dalam penelitian ini adalah kemampuan berpikir komputasi siswa pada materi sistem persamaan linear dua variabel (SPLDV). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kemampuan berpikir komputasi antara siswa yang diberi pembelajaran berdasarkan masalah berbasis budaya batak dengan siswa yang diberi pembelajaran langsung. Secara deskriptif diperoleh rata-rata postes eksperimen 1 adalah 86,96, sedangkan eksperimen 2 adalah 78,04. Berdasarkan indeks gain ternormalisasi, diperoleh bahwa pada uji coba II terjadi peningkatan kemampuan berpikir komputasi siswa sebesar 0,25. This research aims to determine whether there are differences in students' computational thinking with conventional problem-based learning models based on Batak culture (PBM-B3). This research is a quasi-experimental research. The model used in this research is a problem-based learning model based on Batak culture with research subjects of 46 class VIII students at SMP Advent 2 Medan. The object of this study is students' computational thinking skills in the matter of a system of two-variable linear equations (SPLDV). The results of the research show that there are differences in computational thinking abilities between students who were given learning based on problems based on Batak culture and students who were given direct learning. Descriptively, the average post-test for experiment 1 was 86.96, while experiment 2 was 78.04. Based on the normalized gain index, it was found that in trial II there was an increase in students' computational thinking abilities of 0.25 (criterion "medium")

Reconstruction of Professional Teacher Education Program

The Professional Teacher Education Program (in Indonesia known as Pendidikan Profesi Guru – PPG) was developed by the teacher training university by referring to Teacher Education Standards which include educational standards, research standards, and community service standards. Article 17 (1) of The Act Number 12 of year 2012 concerning Higher Education states that professional education is a higher education after an undergraduate program that prepares students for works, which need special expertise requirements. Based on this article of The Act, the competencies of PPG graduates that should include four professional teacher competencies, which are professional, pedagogical, personal and social competencies, should be more than undergraduate’s competencies. However, do the material and evaluation systems currently show such a relationship? Besides that, the social, personal, professional and pedagogical abilities of the teacher are not abilities that are mastered separately but rather the overall integration of these abilities which shows the professionalism of the teacher. This article discusses the weaknesses of the current PPG program implementation and the efforts to reconstruct it to obtain a PPG program implementation system that takes into account the comprehensive and integrated competencies as learning outcomes of the program’s graduates.Keywords: professional teacher, Professional Teacher Education Program, professional educationDOI: 10.7176/JEP/11-16-12Publication date: June 30th 202

This study aims to determine: (1) students' mathematical problem solving abilities in terms of gender differences in class VIII-A SMP N 1 Kuta Buluh; (2) significant differences in students' mathematical problem solving abilities in terms of gender differences in class VIII-A SMP N 1 Kuta Buluh. This research uses quantitative and qualitative approaches (mixed methods). This research was conducted at SMP N 1 Kuta Buluh for the academic year 2021/2022. The research subjects consisted of 12 students, 6 male students and 6 female students. The results of this study indicate: (1) the mathematical problem solving ability of class VIII-A students of SMP N 1 Kuta Buluh in terms of gender differences shows that female students are superior, better than male students. It can also be seen from the average percentage of male students' mathematical problem solving abilities at the stage of understanding the problem that is 41.67%, the stage of preparing a problem solving plan is 15.42%, the stage of implementing a problem solving plan is 25.83%, and the stage of re-examining the results of problem solving is 17.92%. While the average percentage of female students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in the stage of understanding the problem is 64.29%, the stage of compiling a problem-solving plan is 27.68%, the stage of implementing a problem-solving plan is 25.89%, and the stage of re-examining the results of problem solving, namely 20.54%; (2). There is a difference in the mathematical problem solving ability of male and female students, the highest at the stage of understanding the problem and developing a problem-solving plan, while at the stage of implementing the problem-solving plan it is not very visible. It can also be seen from the average percentage of each stage of students' mathematical problem solving abilities, namely the stage of understanding the problem with a difference of 22.62%, the stage of drawing up a problem-solving plan with a difference of 12.26%, the stage of implementing a problem-solving plan with a difference of 0.06 %, and the stage of re-examining the results of problem solving with a difference of 2.62%. Overall each stage of problem solving female students are better than male students. Judging from the results of tests and interviews, it shows that male and female students have not been able to understand the problem well. It is suggested the need to improve students' mathematical problem solving abilities, students must be trained and accustomed to problem solving and the need for school socialization related to students' mathematical problem solving abilities.
