Developing of Learning Strategy PQ4R in Short Story Writing Learning

Motivation is an important determinant for students’ academic achievement; however, many pupils report that their learning motivation decreases in particular prior to exams. Preventive steps, guidance and counseling teachers or school counselors reported lack of concentration, high anxiety, and low enthusiasm among high school students. This study investigated the utility of a Cognitive-Behavioral Psychoeducational Community Music Therapy Seminar/Workshop in improving students' motivation to learn before exams. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used with 213 senior high school students in Jakarta, Indonesia, aged between 15 to 18 years old. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was employed to assess students’ motivation and learning strategies. The intervention, psychoeducation content using music therapy activities including group singing, rhythm-playing, and reflect. The paired-sample t-tests and effect size (Cohen’s d) was performed to data. Results revealed a highly significant elevation in overall motivation (Pretest M = 4.21; Posttest M = 4.78; t (212) = 14.32, p < .001; Cohen’s d = 0.69). Results of subscale analyses indicated there were increases in intrinsic goal orientation, task value, self-efficacy, and metacognitive self-regulation while test anxiety was decreased. Findings endorse the feasibility of CoMT-based seminars to be utilized as effective strategic school interventions for enhancing motivation and examination readiness. The incorporation of music therapy into guidance and counseling programs offers one dynamic and empirically supported method to support academic resilience among teenage students.

Introduction: The burden of HIV-AIDS cases in Indonesia remains high, while HIV-AIDS promotion programs targeting students remain low. Game-based learning has not been investigated as an alternative method for improving HIV-AIDS awareness among students. Aims: this study quantifies the impact of the flashcard-based educational game invented by YARSI HIV-AIDS Care on high school students in Jakarta. Method: A simple randomized controlled study was conducted among 112 SMA 27 Jakarta students (intervention, n=56; control, n= 56). The HIV-AIDS knowledge and attitude scores before and after the educational game were evaluated using a validated questionnaire. An intervention using a flashcard-based game is conducted online. Univariate and Bivariate analyses of the pre-and post-scores for both groups were performed. Result: Following the game, there was a considerable improvement in the HIV-AIDS comprehensive knowledge scores (pre-test vs. post-test, 65 vs. 90, p<0.01), while the control score remained unchanged. The intervention group also had higher knowledge and attitude scores than did the control group (p<0.01). Conclusion: Flashcard-based education games significantly increased comprehensive HIV-AIDS knowledge and positive attitudes toward HIV-AIDS. Thus, this method could be implemented in HIV-AIDS promotion programs that target students

Festinger’s (1) hypothesis cites belief as a variable that influences selective exposure. However, a review of other experts’ research proves that selective exposure is not only affected by the psychological aspect but by the message and the social aspect as well. In contrast to previous scholars who focused only on one variable, the researcher examines belief, utility of information, and group support simultaneously and integrates them into a model. The research design is a case study involving the use of pornographic information. This study’s subjects comprise 400 senior high school students in Jakarta, Indonesia. The relationships among the variables were tested by using structural equation modeling. The validity and reliability analyses utilized the LISREL 8.80 application. A questionnaire with a Likert-scale model was used as the data collection method. The structural test results show that the theoretical models for the three variables have a significant effect on selective exposure (t value ≥ 1.96). On the other hand, the findings also prove that communication in the context of selective information on pornography is divided into three levels. First, at the intrapersonal level, the individual holds on to his or her belief in selecting the information. Second, at the interpersonal or group level, the individual adjusts his or her belief to the existing reality (environment or social group). Third, at the mass communication level, the individual selects the information according to its utility, that is, to fulfill the need for information.

The low interest of students in numerical literacy remains a concern, necessitating a specific instrument to measure this aspect. This study aims to develop and validate an instrument for measuring interest in numerical literacy using the Rasch Model. The research subjects consisted of 200 randomly selected high school students in Jakarta. Data were collected through an online questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale. The analysis showed that 12 out of 13 items were valid and reliable, with an item reliability value of 0.89 and a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.92. The distribution of item difficulty levels was even, ensuring the instrument could measure students' interest across various ability levels. One item did not fit the validity criteria and needs revision. Additionally, the Rasch Model provided in-depth insights into response consistency and the distribution of item difficulty levels. The developed instrument significantly contributes to measuring interest in numerical literacy, supporting educational decision-making, and designing more effective learning interventions.

The purpose of this study was to describe the effects of online learning on psychomotor changes in short story writing among students of SMPN 4, Banda Aceh.
