The Effect of Experiment-Based Discovery Learning Model on Psychomotor Learning Outcomes in Static Fluid Materials

This study aims to determine the differences in psychomotor learning outcomes of students using discovery learning models and problem-based learning (PBL) models in static fluid physics materials. The research location was conducted at SMAN 1 Boliyohuto for the 2021/2022 academic year in classes XI IPA type 1 and XI IPA type 2, each with 15 students. The research method used is quasi-experimental in the experimental class and the control class. The independent variable in this learning model is the discovery learning model. In contrast, the dependent variable is the results of students' psychomotor learning through observation sheets. Based on the analysis results, there were differences in student learning outcomes by applying the experimental-based discovery learning model to the PBL model. The control class scores were higher than the experimental class score

Pendampingan Pendalaman Materi dan Pelatihan Pengembangan Konten Pembelajaran IPA Bagi Guru-Guru IPA di Desa Huntu Kecamatan Batudaa

Thematic Work Lecture Program of Building Village aims to train teachers in Batuda'a Subdistrict to be able to develop IPA learning content. Through this program, it is expected that field guidance lecturers and students will jointly collaborate to help teachers in developing IPA learning content. In addition, with the Real Work Lecture (KKN) program, Thematic Village Building students are expected to plunge into society, interact, socialize, and cooperate with the community. In this program, activities will be focused on training and fostering teachers in Batuda'a Sub-District to be able to develop IPA learning content. This activity was held in Huntu Village, Batudaa Subdistrict, Gorontalo Regency, and was integrated with Real Work Lecture (KKN), Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM) of Gorontalo State University (UNG) in 2021. This activity is supported directly by the Huntu Village apparatus, led by the Huntu Village Chief as a partner in this program.

Collider Interplay for Supersymmetry, Higgs and Dark Matter

We discuss the potential impacts on the CMSSM of future LHC runs and possible electron-positron and higher-energy proton-proton colliders, considering searches for supersymmetry via MET events, precision electroweak physics, Higgs measurements and dark matter searches. We validate and present estimates of the physics reach for exclusion or discovery of supersymmetry via MET searches at the LHC, which should cover the low-mass regions of the CMSSM parameter space favoured in a recent global analysis. As we illustrate with a low-mass benchmark point, a discovery would make possible accurate LHC measurements of sparticle masses using the MT2 variable, which could be combined with cross-section and other measurements to constrain the gluino, squark and stop masses and hence the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters m_0, m_{1/2} and A_0 of the CMSSM. Slepton measurements at CLIC would enable m_0 and m_{1/2} to be determined with high precision. If supersymmetry is indeed discovered in the low-mass region, precision electroweak and Higgs measurements with a future circular electron-positron collider (FCC-ee, also known as TLEP) combined with LHC measurements would provide tests of the CMSSM at the loop level. If supersymmetry is not discovered at the LHC, is likely to lie somewhere along a focus-point, stop coannihilation strip or direct-channel A/H resonance funnel. We discuss the prospects for discovering supersymmetry along these strips at a future circular proton-proton collider such as FCC-hh. Illustrative benchmark points on these strips indicate that also in this case FCC-ee could provide tests of the CMSSM at the loop level.Comment: 47 pages, 26 figure

Emotional valence and arousal affect reading in an interactive way: neuroimaging evidence for an approach-withdrawal framework

A growing body of literature shows that the emotional content of verbal material affects reading, wherein emotional words are given processing priority compared to neutral words. Human emotions can be conceptualised within a two-dimensional model comprised of emotional valence and arousal (intensity). These variables are at least in part distinct, but recent studies report interactive effects during implicit emotion processing and relate these to stimulus-evoked approach-withdrawal tendencies. The aim of the present study was to explore how valence and arousal interact at the neural level, during implicit emotion word processing. The emotional attributes of written word stimuli were orthogonally manipulated based on behavioural ratings from a corpus of emotion words. Stimuli were presented during an fMRI experiment while 16 participants performed a lexical decision task, which did not require explicit evaluation of a word's emotional content. Results showed greater neural activation within right insular cortex in response to stimuli evoking conflicting approach-withdrawal tendencies (i.e., positive high-arousal and negative low-arousal words) compared to stimuli evoking congruent approach vs. withdrawal tendencies (i.e., positive low-arousal and negative high-arousal words). Further, a significant cluster of activation in the left extra-striate cortex was found in response to emotional than neutral words, suggesting enhanced perceptual processing of emotionally salient stimuli. These findings support an interactive two-dimensional approach to the study of emotion word recognition and suggest that the integration of valence and arousal dimensions recruits a brain region associated with interoception, emotional awareness and sympathetic functions

The Effect of Discovery Learning Based on Blended Learning on Student Learning Outcomes at SMA Negeri 1 Boliyohuto

This study aims to determine the effect of the blended learning-based discovery learning model on student learning outcomes on sound waves. This research was conducted in the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. The research method is an experiment using one experimental class and two replication classes. This research was carried out in SMA Negeri 1 Boliyohuto in class XI IPA 1 with a total of 25 students, class XI IPA 2 with a total of 26 students, and class XI IPA 4 with a total of 27 students. The data collection of learning outcomes is based on the test results. Research data analysis using normality test, hypothesis testing, and n-gain test. Based on hypothesis testing, the experimental class obtained tcount 5.97 and ttable 2.78, replication class 1 obtained tcount 7.76 and ttable 2.77, and replication class 2 obtained tcount 6.25 and ttable 2.77. The hypothesis from the three classes H0 received because tcount>ttable. It influences the blended learning-based discovery learning model on student learning outcomes on sound wave material with high n-gain
