Creativity is the ability to generate new and innovative ideas that are valuable and useful in a particular context. In higher education, creativity is very important because it encourages students to think critically, solve problems effectively, and innovate in their fields of study. This study aims to test the effectiveness of using e-modules based on metacreative strategies in improving students' creativity in the Makeup and Beauty Research course at Padang State University. This type of research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a pretest-posttest control group design. The population of this study was students of the Makeup and Beauty study program class of 2021 with a sample size of 53 people. Data analysis techniques in this research consist of descriptive statistics, creativity assessment scale, n-gain score test, prerequisite analysis test, and hypothesis testing (Independent sample t-test). The results showed that there was a significant increase in the level of student creativity in the experimental group and the control group. The average pretest score in the control group was 56.72 and the posttest was 64.07 with an N-gain of 0.17 (low category). Meanwhile, the experimental group had an average pretest score of 60.00 and a posttest of 78.77 with an N-gain of 0.46 (moderate category). The results of the hypothesis test using the independent sample t-test showed a sig.(2-tailed) value of 0.000 <0.05, so there was a significant difference between the experimental group using e-modules based on meta-creative strategies and the control group using conventional learning methods. This shows that the use of e-modules based on meta-creative strategies is effective in improving student creativity.

This researcher aims to find out whether there is effectiveness in implementing the peer tutoring method on choir learning outcomes in class X at SMA Negeri 2 OKU. The research method used in this research is Pre Experimental Design, namely the One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design form. In this research, researchers used the Random Sampling technique, namely a random sampling technique. So the sample in this study was the choir extracurricular class, totaling 18 male students and 12 female students. The data collection technique uses tests in the form of practical tests and data analysis uses the t-test. The results obtained an average post-test score of 82 and pre-test score of 69.5. The scores obtained by the post-test scores are better than the pre-test scores. This is because treatment using the peer tutoring method is indeed effective in learning outcomes for choirs by singing the song Indonesia Raya. Then, based on normality testing, normal distribution data is obtained, then analyze the final test data as described previously. It is known that the t test hypothesis tcount ˃ ttable with tcount˃ = 10.68 and ttable = 1.69. So H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted or tcount ˃ ttable = 10.68 ˃ 1.69. Thus, it can be concluded that there is the effectiveness of the peer tutoring method on choir learning outcomes for extracurricular students at SMA N 2 OKU.    

This research aims to analyze the effect of using educational games on learning English vocabulary in pre-school children. The background of this research is based on the importance of learning English from an early age, where vocabulary mastery is a crucial basic component. The research method used was an experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 60 pre-school children who were randomly divided into experimental groups and control groups. The experimental group was given vocabulary learning using various educational games, while the control group used conventional methods. Data was collected through vocabulary tests before and after treatment, as well as observations during the learning process. The results of data analysis show that there is a significant increase in mastery of English vocabulary in the experimental group compared to the control group. These findings indicate that educational games can be an effective method in improving English vocabulary learning in pre-school children. This research suggests that educators consider the integration of educational games in the English language learning curriculum for early childhood.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using the Cooperative Learning Model Type Teams Games Tournament (TGT) Aided by Audiovisual Media on the Ability to Write Explanatory Texts in Class VIII of SMP Amir Hamzah Medan on the ability to write explanatory texts in Class VIII Students of SMP Amir Hamzah Medan . The population in this study were all class VIII students of Amir Hamzah Private Middle School Medan in the 2022/2023 academic year, totaling 47 people consisting of 2 classes, while the sample used was 25 students, determined by random sampling technique. The research method used is a quantitative experimental method. The instrument in this study was a writing test of explanatory text which was assessed based on the content, text structure, and language conventions of the explanatory text. The average score obtained by students before applying learning with the Cooperative learning model of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) type assisted by audiovisual media was 61.68, while the average value obtained by students after using the assisted Teams Games Tournament (TGT) type of Cooperative learning model audiovisual media, namely 79.68. So, it can be concluded that the test scores after applying the Cooperative learning model of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) type assisted by audiovisual media are higher than before. The results of data analysis in testing the hypothesis show that tcount = 4.28, then looking at the t table, the significance level is 5%, and df = N – 1 = 25 – 1 = 24, it is obtained ttable = 1.71. Because the obtained tcount is greater than ttable, namely 4.28> 1.71, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis Ha is accepted.
