The common problem encountered in learning is the use of inappropriate learning models. Based on the results of interviews with teachers, known that teachers use less varied models and often use the lecturing method. This condition causes the critical thinking skills of the students not well developed. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact and difference of the PjBL model implementation with the Lesson Study approach on students' critical thinking skills in the human respiratory system lesson. The research method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. The research design used a pretest-posttest control group design involving two classes: the experimental class and the control class. Analysis of students' critical thinking skills using inferential statistics was carried out with the Paired t-test, Independent t-test, and the N-Gain Score. The results of this study showed that the data was distributed normally but not homogeneous, then it was followed by a nonparametric test. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon test, a p-value of 0.001 is obtained, which means that there is an influence of the PjBL model with LS on critical thinking skills. The results of the Mann-Whitney test obtained a p-value of 0.00, which means that there is a significant difference in the average value of the critical thinking skills. The results of the N-Gain score in the experimental class obtained the value of 0.76 (high). Meanwhile, in the control class, the value of 0.34 (medium) is obtained.

Learning outcomes are the important matter in the learning process so that learning outcomes are often used as a determinant of success in achieving learning purposes. The learning outcomes achieved by each student will be different. This is due to several factors, one of which is related to student psychological conditions in the form of stress in an academic context. This study aims to determine the relationship between academic stress and biology learning outcomes of class XII students. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 4 Bekasi City in the 2022/2023 academic year. The method used is a quantitative descriptive method with correlational studies. The sample used was 104 students of class XII who were selected through simple random sampling technique. The instruments used were questionnaires and multiple choice test questions. The prerequisite test results show that the data are normally distributed and homogeneous. The result of calculating the correlation coefficient is -0.473 and is included in the medium criteria. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant negative relationship between academic stress and the biology learning outcomes of class XII students. The higher the academic stress, the lower the biology learning outcomes of class XII students. The coefficient of determination is 0.224, which means that academic stress contributes 22.4% to the biology learning outcomes of class XII students.

2023-12-31T16:33:02+00:00

The digestive system is one of the materials in class XI MIA which requires students to be able to present a report on the results of the food test practicum. However, in Biology learning at MA Ihyaul Ulum this has not been realized. This is due to the unavailability of laboratories and supporting tools and materials for practicum, as well as the lack of innovation from teachers. When teaching Biology, teachers tend to use the lecture method so that students become less active in learning Biology. Therefore, a learning media was developed that can be used to conduct a food test practicum on digestive system material in the form of an Active Learning-Based Biology KIT. This study aims to develop and test the validity and practicality of the Biology KIT products developed. This research uses the 4-D development model which is simplified into 3-D. This research was conducted at MA Ihyaul Ulum Wedarijaksa Pati on 6 February 2023 to 6 March 2023 with the subject of Class XI MIA 1 which numbered 33 students. This study found that the Active Learning-Based Biology Learning KIT product developed in the category of highly valid with a percentage score of 95% based on the assessment of material experts and a score of 98% based on the assessment of media experts.
