Science subject is one of the curricular fields of study at the Elementary School (SD) level. Due to the low understanding of students towards this subject, especially the application of the inquiry method to improve student learning outcomes in class V SD Negeri 4 Kalimas, the writer makes improvements to learning. This study aims to improve students’ learning outcomes and activitiesin science subjects using the inquiry method application material. After carrying out the teaching and learning activities using the inquiry method, student learning outcomes and activities have increased. This was shown from the data collected, that in the pre-cycle learning activities there are only 7 students who got a score ≥ minimun standard achievement with a class average scoreof 41.5. So the description of the data collected can be concluded that the use of the inquiry method can improve students’ learning outcomes and activities in science subjects of class V SD Negeri 4 Kalimas. Thus, the inquiry method is one of the effective learning methods in improving students’ learning outcomes and activities in science subjects.

Abstract –This paper describes the process for creating and validating descriptors for a universal problem-analysis rubric. Our objective is to create descriptors that provide effective feedback to students on assessments that have been designed to elicit the demonstration of metacognitive problem-analysis skills.  Building on previously tested and validated indicators as well as benchmarking descriptors from credible and cited rubrics (e.g. the VALUE rubrics), the descriptors were developed through decomposition of global outcome statements and expansion into separate dimensions. The descriptors were then iteratively revised through consultation with faculty experts who teach in fields where assessment of problem-analysis is common. This involved individual faculty and focus group sessions held with engineering faculty members.  The universal problem-analysis rubric created could serve as a resource for engineering faculty to accompany their problem-analysis learning activities (e.g. problem sets) and to elicit student work that is aligned with learning outcomes students need to demonstrate to fulfill CEAB assessment needs. They could also use them as an evaluation tool to increase consistency and reliability of evaluation especially in large classes with multiple assessors.

BACKGROUND With the availability and capabilities of varied technologically enhanced learning activities, the blended learning approach has become increasingly popular in interprofessional education. The combined use of different technologically enhanced learning activities has not been fully examined, particularly to determine the effects of instructional sequences for effective learning outcomes. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate whether the instructional sequences of a blended learning approach can improve students’ learning outcomes on interprofessional competencies. METHODS A randomized controlled study was conducted with 40 interprofessional health care teams. These teams undertook three technologically enhanced learning activities—Web-based instruction (WI), virtual reality (VR), and simulation exercise (SE)—after random assignment to three groups based on three different instructional sequences (WI-VR-SE, WI-SE-VR, and SE-WI-VR). Pretests and posttests were conducted to evaluate the students’ learning outcomes on interprofessional competencies. RESULTS A total of 198 participants from the three groups completed the questionnaires. All three groups reported significant improvement in their levels of self-efficacy (P<.05) and attitudes (P<.001) toward interprofessional team care about 1 month after the interprofessional learning activity. Although no significant difference was found (P=.06) between the WI-VR-SE and WI-SE-VR groups in the self-efficacy posttests, participants in the SE-WI-VR group reported significantly lower (P<.05) posttest scores than those in the WI-SE-VR group. The majority of the participants (137/198, 69.1%) selected the instructional sequence “WI-VR-SE” as their top preference. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the instructional sequence of a blended learning approach can have a significant impact on students’ learning outcomes. The learning of concepts from WI followed by problem-solving activity in the SE was found to be a more effective learning sequence than the reverse sequence. We recommend that future studies focus on scaffolding students’ learning when planning instructional sequences for technologically enhanced learning activities within blended learning environments.

Effective learning can be defined as learning that succeeds in achieving the learning objectives of students as expected by the teacher. But the Covid-19 epidemic has disrupted the conventional learning process. So a solution is needed to answer these problems. Online learning is an alternative that can solve this problem so this research aim is to describe the effective management of online learning during a pandemic at SD Negeri 01 Tanah Tinggi. This research is descriptive – qualitative research and data collection techniques in this study are participant observation and in-depth interviews. In order to achieve effective learning during pandemics, teachers are required to make good and interesting learning designs. Five indicators of effective learning, namely (1) management of the implementation of learning, (2) communicative processes, (3) student responses, (4) learning activities, and (5) learning outcomes. Students can understand and master IT, and students and teachers can communicate well through Blended Learning.

Visualization capabilities is a very important skill in mathematics learning. Having a better visualization capabilities students will understand the subject matter well, particularly in geometry material as the material within the geometry. But the fact that the school found that the visualization capabilities of students is still low. One effort to improve visualization upon ability students is to develop media based interactive mathematics constructivism. The purpose of this development is to produce a valid instructional media, practical and effective. This development research uses a Plomp model consisting of three phases namely: preliminary, prototyping, and assessment. Subjects were students of class X SMAN 1 Koto XI Tarusan. The results of validity of media based interactive learning constructivist mathematics have valid criteria in content and construct. Media Learning has met the criteria of practical because it can be done well in learning activities. Media effective learning has met the criteria for being able to increase the activity of student learning and mastery learning outcomes over a predetermined classical completeness. Thus, it can be concluded that the media based interactive learning constructivist mathematics was valid, practical and effective.

Abstract Background Major disruptions imposed on medical education by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid shift to online teaching in medical programs, necessitated need for evaluation of this format. In this study we directly compared knowledge outcomes, social outcomes, and wellbeing of first year student small group teaching in either face to face (f2f) or online format. Methods At the end of the first course of our medical program, students were invited to participate in an online questionnaire with 10 quantitative items and 1 qualitative item. These were analysed using Factor Analysis Pattern Matrix and linear regression to group items and assess relatedness. Qualitative responses were thematized using Qualtrics software (Qualtrics, Provo, UT, USA). Summative assessment results were compared, both between current cohorts to historical cohorts. Results From a cohort of 298 students there was a 77% response rate. Overall, there were no differences in knowledge gains, either between groups or when compared to historical cohorts. Questionnaire items fell reliably into groups that related to either learning outcomes, social outcomes, or wellbeing. Independent T tests showed that format for teaching (online versus f2f) had an impact on social outcomes but no direct impact on learning outcomes. Linear regression revealed that the social outcomes have a direct impact on wellbeing and almost the double the impact on learning outcomes than mode of learning i.e.. F2f or online (β = .448 and β = .232 respectively). Conclusion In this study, we were able to show with statistical strength that social outcomes for students such as engaging with peers and facilitator, contributing to the group, and making friends have a direct impact on wellbeing and indirectly impact learning outcomes (such as motivation, satisfaction, integration of knowledge). In a rapidly changing educational landscape, in our opinion, it is vital that these aspects are a focus of design and delivery of medical education. The data from this study supports the notion that activity design and the expertise of the teacher in facilitating the small group activities, has greater impact than the mode of educational delivery itself on students’ learning processes.
