Improving the quality of biology learning in secondary schools requires pedagogical innovations that connect academic content with real-life contexts and leverage digital technology. This study aims to analyze the effect of a contextual teaching approach assisted by interactive PowerPoint on students’ learning outcomes in the human respiratory system topic. A true experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group was employed at SMA Negeri 1 Langowan, involving two eleventh-grade classes selected through simple random sampling. The experimental class received contextual instruction integrated with interactive PowerPoint, while the control class was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through validated achievement tests and analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, followed by independent and paired t-tests. The results indicate a significant improvement in learning outcomes for students in the experimental class compared to the control group. The experimental group’s posttest scores were substantially higher, and the difference was statistically significant. Integrating a contextual approach with interactive visualization effectively enhanced students’ understanding of abstract biology concepts, promoted active participation, and strengthened learning motivation. These findings support constructivist theory and highlight the relevance of contextual teaching in science education aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. The study implies the importance of implementing context-based strategies combined with simple digital media to improve biology learning effectiveness. Future research may explore its impact on non-cognitive skills such as critical thinking and scientific attitudes. Furthermore, the results of this study provide opportunities for teachers to be more creative in designing teaching materials that are not only informative but also interactive and relevant to students' lives. By utilizing media such as interactive PowerPoint, teachers can present complex biological content in a more engaging and understandable way.

Mathematics is a universal science that underlies the development of modern science and technology, and has an important role in the development of human thinking. Mathematics is a subject that is based on logical, rational, critical, and systematic thinking patterns. Religion and rationality are two perspectives that have a strong influence. Humans view religious values ​​and rational values ​​as different entities, causing a dichotomy paradigm, especially in the realm of education. In the perspective of the epistemology of science in Islam, Islam and science are complementary and interdependent entities. The mathematical approach used here does not mean that Islamic values ​​are low, but only to increase the belief of Muslims that all knowledge is valuable and can lead to true goodness and increase faith and closeness to Allah SWT.To examine how Islamic values ​​are applied in mathematics learning, To identify and develop effective strategies or methods in integrating Islamic values ​​in mathematics learning materials, To measure the extent of the application of Islamic values ​​in mathematics learning.This study uses a qualitative approach, while the type of research used by the researcher is descriptive research.Mathematics as a logical and systematic science, has a meeting point with Islamic teachings that emphasize truth, justice, and balance. For example, the concept of monotheism can be associated with the order of the universe expressed through mathematical formulas, fostering a sense of gratitude and obedience. The implementation of Islamic values ​​that are rahmatan lil 'alamin (blessing for all nature) in mathematics learning, especially to form honest and fair characters in students.

The method used is Class Action Research (PTK) which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages, namely planning, implementation of actions, observation, and reflection. The research subjects amounted to 26 students. Data collection techniques are carried out through learning outcome tests, observation of teacher and student activities, and documentation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in the completeness of student learning outcomes. In cycle I, completeness reached 73.92%, and increased to 85.30% in cycle II. This improvement shows that the application of the discovery learning model combined with image media is effective in improving IPAS learning outcomes. This model encourages active involvement of students in the learning process, fosters curiosity, and hones critical and logical thinking skills. Image media as a visual aid has also been proven to be able to strengthen concept understanding and improve students' memory of the material studied. In addition, the learning process becomes more fun and meaningful because students are directly involved in the activity of discovering concepts through the stages of observing, questioning, gathering information, reasoning, and concluding. Teachers are no longer the center of information, but play the role of learning facilitators. This strategy is also relevant to the cognitive development characteristics of elementary school students who tend to favor concrete and visual learning. Thus, the application of the discovery learning model assisted by image media can be an alternative to an effective and innovative learning strategy in improving social studies learning outcomes. Teachers are advised to continue to develop adaptive, creative, and contextual learning methods and media.

This study aims to understand how learning about rainbows can improve elementary school students' understanding of basic science concepts, particularly regarding the refraction of light and the color spectrum. The concept of rainbows is an important part of Natural Science (IPA) lessons because it involves optical phenomena that can be directly observed and related to students' daily experiences. In this study, the method used is a literature study, namely by collecting, reviewing, and analyzing various relevant library sources, such as scientific articles, textbooks, and educational journals that discuss the topic of science learning and the rainbow phenomenon. The results of this study indicate that learning about rainbows can be done through various interactive and fun approaches, such as through practical experiments using prisms, water droplets, or other simple media that can demonstrate the process of refraction of white light into a color spectrum. In addition, the use of visual media such as images, animated videos, and digital simulations has also proven effective in helping students understand the process of rainbow formation more concretely. Creative activities such as drawing rainbows, making color models, or role-playing as light and water droplets can also increase active student participation and make learning more enjoyable. This study also emphasizes the importance of integrating rainbow learning into the elementary school science curriculum systematically and contextually. Rainbow materials not only introduce scientific concepts in a fun way, but also develop critical thinking, observation, and experimental skills in children. With the right approach, this learning can foster students' interest in science from an early age. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to contribute positively to the development of more effective, creative, and developmentally appropriate science learning methods for elementary school students.

This study aims to: (1) analyze the profile of science literacy ability of junior high school students in general; (2) analyzing the learning style of junior high school students; and (3) analyze the science literacy abilities of junior high school students based on their learning style tendencies. This type of research is survey research with a descriptive approach. The data analysis technique used is quantitative descriptive analysis, where the data results will be presented in the form of pie charts and tables to facilitate the interpretation of the information obtained. Respondents in this study were selected through cluster sampling techniques, with a population consisting of all students of SMP Negeri 1 Singkawang. The data collection technique uses two main instruments, namely the science literacy ability test and a questionnaire to measure the tendency of students' learning styles in physics learning. The learning styles identified refer to the VARK (Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic) model, as well as the grouping between unimodal and multimodal learning styles. The results showed that the multimodal learning style was more dominant (61%) compared to the unimodal learning style (39%). Among the multimodal categories, the quadmodal learning style (using all four aspects of VARK) occupies the largest portion. In addition, it was found that 1 in 3 students had a complete VARK learning style tendency, making it the most common type. Based on further analysis, students with multimodal learning styles—especially quadmodal—have higher average science literacy skills compared to students who have only one type of learning style modality. These findings show that the diversity of learning approaches can have a positive impact on the mastery of science literacy.

This study aims to examine in depth the effectiveness of the application of the Children Learning in Science (CLIS) learning model in the Natural Science (Science) learning process. The background of this study stems from the problem of low active student participation in class, which is largely caused by difficulties in understanding abstract science concepts. The CLIS model offers a learning approach that emphasizes active student involvement through a series of systematic learning stages. The method used is a literature review with a qualitative descriptive approach. Analysis was conducted on 25 articles from national and international publications. Each article was reviewed based on relevance, research methods, main findings, and the suitability of CLIS application in various science learning contexts. The results of the study indicate that CLIS has proven effective in improving students' understanding of science concepts, developing science process skills such as observation, classification, measurement, and hypothesis testing, and encouraging active student participation during the learning process. In addition, this model is also able to improve critical thinking skills through exploration activities, experiments, group discussions, and reflection on learning outcomes. The CLIS stages, which include exploring students' prior knowledge, introducing new concepts through experiments, strengthening understanding through discussions, and strengthening concepts through reflection, enable students to construct knowledge independently and meaningfully. Based on these findings, CLIS is considered relevant and can be an effective alternative learning model to improve the quality of science learning at various levels of education.

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes through the implementation of the cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type in science instruction for Grade V students at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis & McTaggart model, which consists of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research was conducted in two cycles to measure progressive improvements in student learning outcomes. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects were all 20 students of Grade V at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. In the pre-cycle stage, before the intervention, only 25% of the students achieved satisfactory learning outcomes, which was categorized as "not yet meeting expectations." After the implementation of the first cycle, student achievement improved to 50%, falling into the category of "approaching fairly successful." However, this result had not yet reached the expected level of success. In the second cycle, the application of the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model was further optimized. The results showed a significant increase, with 80% of students achieving successful outcomes, which was categorized as "approaching highly successful." This improvement demonstrates that the jigsaw model effectively enhances student engagement, individual and group accountability, and conceptual understanding in science learning. Therefore, this study concludes that the cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type has a positive impact on improving student learning outcomes in science. The researcher recommends that teachers, especially in science and religious education (PAI), adopt the jigsaw learning model as a strategic alternative to foster an active, enjoyable, and meaningful learning process. The collaborative nature of the model encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning and for helping their peers, creating a more supportive and productive classroom environment.

This research focuses on exploring the mathematical reasoning abilities of Madrasah Aliyah students in solving problems that integrate mathematical concepts with the Islamic science of faraidh (inheritance law), specifically within the topic of fractions. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design and was conducted among 11th-grade students enrolled in the Religious Program at MA Raudlatul Ulum Putri. Data collection techniques included written tests, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations, focusing on three selected students who represented high, moderate, and low levels of mathematical ability. The analysis centers on several key indicators of mathematical reasoning: identifying problems, formulating hypotheses, presenting logical arguments, and drawing conclusions. The results show that most students fall into the moderate reasoning category, while a smaller number are categorized as high or low. Students in the high category demonstrate a strong capacity to approach problems systematically and accurately, combining mathematical logic with a proper understanding of Sharia-based inheritance rules. In contrast, students in the low category struggle with interpreting problem contexts and executing fraction calculations correctly, which indicates gaps in both conceptual understanding and application skills. These findings underscore the importance of contextual and integrative learning, particularly the combination of mathematics with Islamic values, to enhance deeper comprehension. By embedding religious relevance into mathematical instruction—especially through real-life contexts such as inheritance laws—educators can support the development of more meaningful reasoning abilities. The study suggests that integrating mathematics and Islamic teachings can significantly benefit student learning outcomes and foster stronger conceptual foundations.

The research was conducted at SD Negeri 1 Damarjati with fifth-grade students as the subjects. The research consisted of two cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The methods used to collect data were tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. In the pre-cycle, students demonstrated a limited understanding of map material, as reflected in both their test scores and classroom participation. The findings revealed a notable increase in students' comprehension after the implementation of the Mind Map learning model. The average class score rose from 56.1 in the pre-cycle to 70.8 in Cycle I, and further increased to 84.5 in Cycle II. Moreover, the percentage of students achieving the minimum mastery criteria (KKM) also improved significantly—from 30% in the pre-cycle to 56.6% in Cycle I, and then to 90% in Cycle II. The improvement was not only in academic achievement but also in learning enthusiasm, student engagement, and the ability to recall and connect concepts. The Mind Map learning model helped students better visualize the relationship between different elements of the subject matter, which enhanced both individual and group learning. Additionally, classroom observations indicated that students became more active in discussions and showed better collaboration with peers. These results indicate that the implementation of the Mind Map learning model not only enhances cognitive engagement and visual comprehension but also fosters students’ participation and collaborative learning environments. Thus, it can be concluded that the Mind Map learning model is an effective, student-centered method to improve understanding of map material in elementary schools.

This article discusses the dynamics of Islamic education during the Sultanate of Banten, an Islamic kingdom that developed since the 16th century and became one of the centers of Islamic civilization in the archipelago. Islamic education in Banten not only shapes the Islamic identity of the community, but also strengthens morality, social solidarity, and cultural resilience. Islamic boarding schools are the main pillars of education that integrate the teaching of religious science, character education, and socio-religious practices. The role of pesantren expands, not only as a learning center, but also as a da'wah institution that instills the values of independence, justice, and brotherhood in the midst of a multicultural society. Great scholars such as Sheikh Nawawi al-Bantani and Sheikh Yusuf al-Makassari have an important role in strengthening the scientific network between Banten, the Middle East, and the Islamic world. Their profound works in the fields of jurisprudence, Sufism, and morals had a great influence on the development of Islamic thought in Southeast Asia. The pesantren curriculum that focuses on the yellow book, with the teaching methods of sorogan, bandongan, and wetonan, produces students who are not only knowledgeable, but also disciplined, moral, and sensitive to social problems. The Dutch colonial period brought severe challenges with secular policies and restrictions on Islamic education. However, pesantren still exist as spiritual and intellectual fortresses. This success is supported by the ability of pesantren to develop economic independence and expand scientific networks through the overseas migration of students to various Islamic study centers abroad. Until now, Banten's Islamic education heritage has transformed into a modern Islamic boarding school that is able to combine classical traditions with technology and global insights. This study confirms that traditional Islamic education in Banten has a strategic role in shaping the social, spiritual, and identity structure of the Muslim community, which persists across generations.

This study aims to quantitatively test the effectiveness of a concrete object-based science learning strategy in improving students' understanding of abstract concepts and addressing their learning difficulties in science at the elementary school level. By implementing a quasi-experimental design, this study compared a group of students who learned science through real media and concrete objects and through contextual, hands-on experiences with a control group. The hypothesis in this study states that students in the experimental group will show a significant increase in their science concept understanding test scores, measurable development of critical thinking skills, and a decrease in their detected learning difficulties, when compared with the control group. The tools employed in this research included a standardized test for understanding science concepts, a rubric designed to evaluate critical thinking abilities, and a Likert-scale survey to gauge students' opinions on how difficult they found the material. The quantitative data collected will be examined using an independent t-test to compare the average scores of different groups and a paired t-test to measure progress within the experimental group. Preliminary findings indicate that complex and abstract science materials are often the main cause of learning difficulties for elementary school students, which is in line with the limitations in abstract reasoning at that age, as stated in Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Therefore, this concrete method is expected to significantly increase student participation, help them absorb new information into their existing understanding, and in turn, improve their learning outcomes. The results of this study will provide concrete evidence of the positive effects of using concrete media and direct experiences in science learning at the elementary school level, as well as provide data-based suggestions for curriculum development and better teaching practices to address gaps in students' understanding of abstract concepts.

Student learning independence can be stimulated by providing problems at the beginning of learning that must be solved. One example of a problem for teaching materials is the problem of students' polluted environment. Modules are one type of teaching material that can be designed systematically and used by students in the independent learning process. By applying a problem-based learning model to the environmental pollution learning module, it can be used as teaching material that trains students' learning independence by finding problems for the learning process and achieving learning objectives. This study aims to develop and determine the feasibility of a problem-based learning module on environmental pollution material for junior high school students in grade VII. The model used in developing the module is a model that has the steps of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE). The module material is developed by first analyzing the needs of teaching materials, then continuing with analyzing the curriculum used and collecting materials from various sources. The module is then validated by a material expert who obtained a score of 90% and validation by a media expert who obtained a score of 92.5%. This module has also been tested on grade VII science teachers with a score of 96% and tested on students and obtained a score of 83%. Based on the validation and trial results, this module is included in the category of very suitable for use in learning.
