Many conventional science courses contain subjects embedded with laboratory-based activities. However, research on the benefits of positioning the practicals within the theory subject or developing them distinctly from the theory is largely absent. This report compared results in a physiology theory subject among three different cohorts of students: those taking the theory subject alone, those taking it concurrent with a physiology practicum subject, and those who previously took the subject when it had practicums embedded within the one subject. The path model shows that students taking both physiology theory and physiology practicum attained a significantly higher result in online tests compared with those who took the theory subject alone ( P < 0.05) and that this translated to a significantly higher result in the end-of-semester examination. Similarly, students taking both physiology theory and the physiology practicum attained a significantly higher end-examination result compared with those who took the physiology subject in previous years when the practicums were embedded within the theory subject ( P < 0.05). In both cases, this increase was largely attained in components that tested critical thinking and deep learning (short theory application questions and extended written questions). We conclude that students undertaking both physiology theory and the physiology practicum likely performed better in the theory subject due to better problem-solving skills and a more developed understanding of theoretical content. We suggest that consideration be given in all science curricula to the separation of theory and practicum by developing two subjects with clearly defined different learning outcomes.

Due to the practice-oriented nature of Translation and Interpreting study programmes, students are generally assumed to have a reluctant attitude towards the study of theory. However, previous empirical research allows us to dispel this myth: students are aware of the contribution of translation theory to their education as future translators. Taking into account students' needs and expectations, in this paper emphasis is placed on curricular design. A critical examination of the syllabi of Translation Theory subjects, focusing on learning outcomes and teaching methodology, reveals some (mis)matches between teaching planning and the students' expectations. The results obtained show a relatively high degree of coincidence between these two aspects on the one hand, while also highlighting some inaccuracies in the teaching planning of these subjects on the other. These two aspects should be considered a starting point for a revision of the curricular design in order to present an accurate description of the subject by means of an adequate explanation of the intended learning outcomes and teaching methodology, and in order to provide students with significant and useful insights into the theoretical dimension of translation.

Physics Problems

his study aims to improve the ability to solve physics problems and student learning outcomes in the materials of Straight Motion Kinematics with the initial ability to use ordinary practicum methods and practicum methods with different procedures. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) with two cycles. The subject of this research is class X MIA 2 MAN Sipirok, each class totaling 30 students. Class X MIA 2 uses practicum procedures commonly used in schools. The treatment instruments used were syllabus and lesson plans, and for the test instrument used five questions for problem-solving skills and ten questions for student learning outcomes. The results obtained are the ability to solve physics problems in class XI MIA 2. After learning with practicum methods, the ability to solve problems and student learning outcomes increase. This is indicated by (1) Learning outcomes using the demonstration method have increased from cycle I students who did not pass 70% and passed 30%, in cycle II students who did not pass 25% and passed 75%. This happens because the demonstration method used in the first cycle is the usual demonstration method and in the second cycle uses a demonstration method with different procedures. (2) Aspect of problem-solving according to the indicator of problem-solving has increased namely identifying aspects in the first cycle of 43.52% and the second cycle to 72.53%, aspects of implementing the strategy in the first cycle 56.42% and in the second cycle to 77.63 %, aspects of formulating Physics problems in the first cycle 33.90% and in the second cycle to 76.72%, aspects of interpreting Physics problems in the first cycle 53.52% and in the second cycle to 86.15%. Keywords: Problem-solving ability, Classroom Action Research, MAN Sipirok
