The program aimed to improve English skills of orphans through the empowerment of university students. The training program was conducted at Al-Falah Orphanage Padang and there were 24 orphans and 10 students involved. The training consisted of 16 meetings and each meeting lasted for about 90 -120 minutes. The team employed five teaching methods that were combined and modified. The data were obtained from pre-and post test and class observation. The result showed that the orphans' English ability increased from the mean of 42.8 to 69.5. In addition, there was an increase in their reading and speaking skills as well as their motivation in learning English. Moreover, this program also benefitted both parties inveolved (orphans and students) socially, economically and educationally. This means that there was a significant positive impact after the implementation of this program. Therefore, it is highly recommended to conduct the same program. AbstrakProgram ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan Bahasa Inggris anak-anak panti asuhan melalui pemberdayaan mahasiswa. Program pelatihan dilaksanakan di Panti Asuhan Al-Falah Padang dan ada 24 anak dan 10 orang mahasiswa yang terlibat. Pelatihan terdiri dari 16 pertemuan dan tiap-tiap pertemuan berlangsung selama 90 -120 menit. Tim menerapkan 5 metode mengajar yang dikombinasikan dan dimodifikasi. Data diperoleh dari hasil pre test dan post test dan kelas observasi. Hasil menunjukan bahwa kemampuan Bahasa Inggris anak-anak panti tersebut meningkat dari rata-rata 42,8 menjadi 69,5. Sebagai tambahan, juga ada peningkatan dalam kemampuan membaca dan berbicara mereka sekaligus motivasi mereka dalam mempelajari Bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, program ini juga menguntungkan kedua belah pihak (anak-anak panti dan mahasiswa) dari aspek sosial, ekonomi dan pendidikan. Hal ini berarti bahwa ada dampak positif yang signifikan setelah pelaksanaan program ini. Maka dari itu, sangat direkomendasikan sekali untuk melakukan program yang sama.Kata kunci-Program Pelatihan, kemampuan Bahasa Inggris, anak-anak panti asuhan, mahasiswa 1. PENDAHULUAN
There is widespread agreement that 21st-century skills are skills that should be possessed by students in the current era; however, generally, the component value of these skills is low. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of the physics electronic teaching material-integrated STEM education (PETMS) in improving the 21st-century skills of students. This research was an experimental study with a post-test-only design with a non-equivalent group. The research subjects consisted of 66 students in two groups. The results indicated that the use of the PETMS was effective in improving students’ mastery of concepts and three aspects of 21st-century skills: creative thinking, critical thinking, and communication. Based on this result, it is inferred that the PETMS is an effective teaching material in promoting students’ 21st-century skills and is expected to be a relevant reference to enhance the quality of physics learning and to apply in the 21st-century learning era. Keywords: Teaching material, STEM education, critical thinking, creative thinking, communication.
Students' success in learning can be seen from the achievement of student competencies. This means that several factors affect student learning outcomes, such as learning materials or e-module. E-module is a module packaged in electronic or digital form that contains a variety of interactive media. The situation found in the field is that the teaching materials used are still in printed form or textbooks and student learning outcomes are still in the low category of students. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using STEM integrated e-module on static fluid materials. This research was quasi-experimental research with a single factor independent groups design. The research method used was the development method with the Hannafin and Peck instructional development model focused on product-oriented learning design. The instruments used in the study were final tests, observations, and worksheets. The data analysis techniques used in this research were descriptive statistical analysis, normality test, homogeneity test, t-test for two unrelated samples. Data analysis showed differences in learning outcomes in the experiment group compared to the control group. This indicates the influence of the STEM-integrated static fluid E-Module on student learning outcomes. Therefore, the STEM-integrated static fluid material electronic module design can improve student learning outcomes.
In the world of education, teachers can use technology in learning activities in learning material. The fact found in schools is that the learning material used by students are still low in the use of technology. This indirectly has an impact on student learning outcomes which are still low. One solution that can be done is to apply Newton's law electronics learning material with Kvisoft Flipbook. This study aimed to improve the learning outcomes of class X students of SMAN 1 Payakumbuh. This research is a quasi-experiment with a randomized posttest only control group design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with random cluster sampling. The data collection instrument consisted of a written test sheet for the knowledge aspect, an observation sheet for the attitude aspect, and a performance appraisal sheet for the skills aspect. From the results of data analysis, it can be stated that applying Newton's law electronics learning material with Kvisoft Flipbook Maker can improve learning outcomes in the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of class X students of SMAN 1 Payakumbuh with a 95% confidence level.
The development of science and technology is marked by the high competition of society in improving quality education. Quality education refers to the curriculum that the government has set, namely the 2013 curriculum. Teachers have not provided learning tools that follow the demands of the 2013 curriculum. The learning material used by teachers was not attractive and did not follow the development of science and technology, and have not integrated STEM, as evidenced by the percentage of availability STEM 48%. Teachers need learning materials that are practical, attractive, easy to understand, and economical to support the teaching and learning process. The purpose of this research was to determine the validity of developing STEM integrated electronic learning material on elasticity materials to improve students’ 21st-century skills. The research method is research and development by applying the Plomp model. The average validation result of the five experts is 88.0, which belongs to the high category. Therefore, research on developing STEM integrated electronic learning material can be applied during online and offline learning.
