The research methodology used by researchers in this research is a research and development approach. The researchers in this study used a research plan that combines a three-dimensional model consisting of four different development stages: Define, Design, and Develop. The participants involved in this research were class VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Teriak. The method used in selecting the sample used a purposive sampling technique. Purposive sampling is a sampling technique that involves deliberate selection based on certain reasons. Researchers use many data collection strategies, including indirect communication tactics and measurement techniques. The data collection methods used in this research include the use of validation sheets, questionnaires, and assessment of mathematical understanding abilities. Based on the results of the discussion in this research, it can be concluded that the level of validity of interactive video learning media in the form of animated videos on relationship and function material based on direct instruction can be classified as valid with a percentage of 85.27%, the level of practicality obtained is 90.58% with very practical and high level criteria. The effectiveness obtained was 80.76% with effective criteria.

Integrating innovative pedagogical approaches becomes paramount as the contemporary educational paradigm evolves. The study addresses the gap in the current literature by offering insights into the multifaceted implications of gamification in higher education settings. The primary purpose of this research is to analyze the attitudes, experiences, and perceptions of both educators and students toward gamified elements in LMS. The study combines qualitative interviews with teachers and students and quantitative surveys to gather a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The methodology encompasses diverse higher education institutions to ensure a representative sample. Results highlight the nuanced perspectives of participants, revealing key factors influencing the effectiveness of gamification in LMS, such as motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. The findings provide a foundation for a more informed integration of gamified elements into educational practices. In conclusion, this research contributes to the field by offering empirical evidence and nuanced insights into the perceptions of gamification in higher education. The study enhances our understanding of the challenges and benefits associated with gamified learning and provides practical implications for educators and policymakers aiming to foster innovative and engaging learning environments.

Learning media greatly determines the effectiveness and efficiency of achieving learning objectives. This development was carried out with the aim of making PBL-based physics worksheets on parabolic motion material and its application as an alternative medium for physics lessons. Parabolic motion is circular motion whose trajectory is a parabola. This study uses a research design methodologyResearch and Development or research and development. Based on the research results assessed by material experts and media experts that PBL-based physics worksheets on parabolic motion material and its implementation have a feasibility index of 80 and 87 which fall into the feasible category.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of research methodology learning with students' understanding in thesis writing. Research methodology plays an important role in equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, conduct and analyze research effectively. However, challenges in understanding the concepts of research methodology can affect students' ability to write quality thesis. Therefore, this study identified the challenges faced by students in learning research methodology and presented solutions that could be applied to increase learning effectiveness. The research method used was literature study and descriptive analysis. Data was collected through a literature review which included research articles, textbooks and other related sources of information. Data analysis was carried out by identifying common challenges in learning research methodology and recommendations that can be implemented to overcome these challenges. The results of the study indicate that a good understanding of research methodology has a positive impact on student thesis writing. Students who have a good understanding of research methodology tend to plan their research well, collect valid data, carry out appropriate data analysis, use relevant reference sources, and construct strong arguments in their thesis. However, there are challenges such as material complexity, limited resources, lack of practical experience, time constraints, and low motivation that need to be overcome. Recommendations to improve research methodology learning include developing a good curriculum, training lecturers, providing adequate resources and facilities, use of technology in learning, intensive individual guidance, and further research on the effectiveness of research methodology learning. By implementing these recommendations, students are expected to gain a better understanding of research methodology and apply it well in their thesis writing. This increased understanding will have an impact on the quality of thesis writing, a more significant contribution in the field of study, and better preparation for future academic or professional careers.
