Abstract:Physics education in schools often faces challenges in terms of student engagement and understanding due to the abstract nature of the concepts and the high analytical skills required. Conventional, non-interactive teaching…
ing approaches tend to be ineffective in addressing these issues. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing students’ cognitive abilities in learning Physics through a meta-analysis. The PBL model emphasizes student-centered learning, where students are invited to solve real and relevant problems, thus increasing engagement and deeper conceptual understanding. Data were collected from 20 research articles published between 2017 and 2024, which discuss students’ cognitive abilities and the PBL approach. The meta-analysis results show that PBL has a significant effect on improving students’ cognitive abilities in Physics, with 13 articles showing high effect sizes, 3 articles moderate effect sizes, and 4 articles low effect sizes. PBL has proven effective in developing students’ critical, creative, and analytical thinking skills. Additionally, PBL enhances students’ active participation in the learning process and facilitates the understanding and application of Physics concepts in various practical situations. This study asserts that PBL is an effective method for improving students’ cognitive abilities in learning Physics at the high school level, by fostering critical thinking, communication, and practical knowledge application skills. These findings underscore the importance of using innovative learning models such as PBL to advance Physics education and improve student learning outcomes.

that are made to communicate information effectively and provide good understanding facilities. Teachers will find it easier to teach when they are able to use learning media as a means when teaching, because the function of learning media is not only as a means of teaching, but also as a way for teachers to make students active and happy to learn. This study aims to describe the use of PhET simulation as a learning medium in traveling and stationary wave theory. This article uses the literature study methodology. The stages in using the literature method include observing, analyzing, then identifying, then providing interpretation, and finally in the form of some evaluation of the research that has been done. There are 25 publication articles obtained from various domestic sources analyzed in this article. The articles used were reported from 2018 to 2024. By using PhET simulation, it feels easier to practice compared to real practicum, because visible media allows users to be more active in presenting subjects that are mastered, especially in traveling and stationary wave material. And by using this PhET virtual media makes students tend to be active and very enthusiastic in the learning process because the appearance of the PhET media is very different from other media. Based on this research, it can be concluded that learning stationary wave and traveling wave material can improve learning outcomes and improve critical thinking skills.
Abstract:The development of science is very rapid. Competition is increasingly fierce and people are required to have high intellectual abilities in facing the challenges of the global world. In fact, the progress of a nation will…
l be recognized by the world, one factor is how the majority of people in a country master, develop and utilize science and technology. The purpose of writing this literature review is none other than to explain in detail the development of individuals in facing developments in science, which has so far become a topic of discussion in the world of education. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, namely research in the form of a literature study which aims to analyze, evaluate, identify, observe, find and determine relevant research topics. The results of data analysis conclude that science and technology are human achievements that must be utilized in understanding and practicing something. In line with this principle, science is actually a process experienced by individuals in their development. The poorer the knowledge, the narrower the insight in understanding something, the narrower a person's thinking about a science. In conclusion, development is a skill in the structure and function of the body or an increase in more complex abilities in a regular and predictable pattern as a result of experience and the maturation process. Development is also very closely related to social, motor, intellectual and emotional abilities. So it becomes very necessary how a learning design is formed to provide freedom to be creative on an ongoing basis in order to optimize and develop students work.

e cyber world in the novel. The novel Fake Semu by Ele Fountain is a novel with a theme about the cyber world. This novel explains the plot where technology becomes the only friend in the world. In this novel, Ele tells the story of a world where all needs for food, health, access to digital transactions are fully controlled by technology. Because of this, Ele began to tell about someone who was curious about the digital world and used various forbidden skills in the cyber world to get all the answers to his questions. The method used uses a hermeneutic approach. The findings obtained in the novel are 1) Database, 2) Hacking, 3) Encryption, 4) Spyware, 5) Cypher, and 6) Cyber Minder.

skills. The four skills are listening (istima'), speaking (kalam), reading (qiroah), and writing (kitabah) are very important in the learning process. The research method used was my research with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through written and oral Arabic tests conducted on students of class VIII. The test results were categorised into several score ranges, and the students' Arabic language skills were analysed based on the predicates obtained. The results showed that most of the students had deficient Arabic language skills, with 48% of the total students being at the predicate of "Deficient". A total of 21% of students got the predicate "Very Good," 19% of students got the predicate "Good," and 12% of students got the predicate "Fair." The study also noted factors that influence students' Arabic language proficiency, including learning methods, textbooks, materials, educational institutions and time. Madrasah Tsanawiyah Jamilurrahman As-Salafy Putri Yogyakarta plays an important role in shaping students' Arabic language skills, but there are challenges in improving overall Arabic language skills. This study provides an understanding of the status of students' Arabic language skills at MTs Jamilurrahman As-Salafy Putri Yogyakarta and shows the importance of developing Arabic language learning at the madrasah.

Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengurangi tingkat kecemasan berbicara di depan umum melalui metode Expressive Writing Therapy yang dilakukan terhadap 13 mahasiswa magang di UPTD PPA Kota Makassar. Terapi dilaksanakan dalam satu sesi yang mencakup pre-test, sesi menulis ekspresif, diskusi/refleksi bersama fasilitator, serta post-test. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan adanya penurunan signifikan tingkat kecemasan dengan nilai rata-rata pre-test sebesar 77,50 menjadi 64,95 pada post-test (sig. 0,000 < 0,05). Ini menunjukkan bahwa terapi menulis ekspresif efektif sebagai intervensi psikologis untuk membantu mahasiswa mengelola kecemasan saat berbicara di depan publik. Selain itu, terapi ini juga memberi ruang bagi mahasiswa untuk merefleksikan emosi dan memperkuat keterampilan komunikasi mereka di lingkungan kerja.
