This research aims to investigate the influence of Project-Based Learning (PjBL)- Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) on Students' Creative Thinking Skills. The research method was quasi-experiment using a nonequivalent control group design. Samples were taken using purposive sampling technique from two of 11<sup>th</sup>-grade science classes as an experimental and a control groups. This study used a test instrument of creative thinking skills. Research data were analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel software. Hypothetical test results were assessed using independent sample t-test, obtained sig value (2-tailed) = 0.01 indicating sig value < 0.05. According to statistical analysis, there is a significant difference between the control class and the experiment class. The n-gain value was obtained with a score of 0.59 (a medium category). This result shows that the application of PJBL-STEM can improve students' creative thinking skills in the static fluid topic (Pascal law).
This study aims to determine the response of the addition of neem plant extract (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) and biosurfactant of diethanolamide olein palm to the mortality of cocoa moth pest (Conopomorpha cramerella). The research was carried out with experiments. The treatment consisted of 5 levels, namely (1) control (without treatment), (2) young leaf extract of neem plant consisted of 100 ml / 500 ml of water + 5% of biosurfactant dietanolamide palm olein, (3) old leaf extract of neem plant consisted of 100 ml / 500 ml of water + 5% of biosurfactant diethanolamide palm olein, (4) seed extract of neem plant consisted of 100 ml / 500 ml of water + 5% of biosurfactant diethanolamide olein palm, (5) young leaf extract of neem plant and seed extract of neem plant consisted of 100 ml / 500 ml of water + 5% of biosurfactant diethanolamide olein palm, (6) old leaf extract of neem plant and seed extract of neem plant consisted of 100 ml/500 ml of water + 5% of biosurfaktan dietanolamida olein sawit. The results showed that the treatment of neem plant extracts mixture of young leaves and seeds + biosurfactant dietanolamide olein palm gave the best influence in controlling cocoa moth pests. Furthermore, it was followed by the treatment of neem plant extracts mixed with old leaves and seeds + biosurfactant dietanolamide olein palm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
