Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas intervensi origami berbasis experiential learning dalam meningkatkan kemampuan spasial anak usia dini. Kemampuan spasial merupakan salah satu kemampuan yang diperlukan manusia dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Kemampuan spasial merupakan aspek dari kognisi yang berkembang sejalan dengan perkembangan kognitif. Kemampuan spasial pada anak berhubungan dengan relasi topologi atau spasial dua arah, seperti atas-bawah, kanan-kiri, depan-belakang. Banyak media yang terbukti dapat meningkatkan kemampuan spasial pada anak, salah satunya adalah origami. Dalam kegiatan origami, anak diajak untuk berpartisipasi aktif agar dapat membuat figur origami. Hal ini juga dibutuhkan dalam metode experiential learning. Experiential learning merupakan proses belajar melalui pengalaman (learning by doing). Dalam metode ini, siswa berpartisipasi aktif dalam sebuah kegiatan, sehingga menghasilkan pengetahuan atau kemampuan yang baru. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuasi eksperimen. Partisipan penelitian berjumlah 3 orang yang merupakan siswa/i kelas K2 TK X dengan karakteristik: (a) usia partiipan antara 5-6 tahun; (b) partisipan sedang menjalani pendidikan di kelas K2 TK X tahun ajaran 2017-2018. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain dalam-kelompok, one-group pretest posttest. Peneliti memberikan intervensi origami berbasis experiential learning kepada partisipan penelitian setelah melakukan pre-test dan melakukan post-test terhadap partisipan setelah 8 sesi intervensi diberikan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan kemampuan spasial partisipan mengalami peningkatan meskipun pada dimensi yang berbeda. Hasil post-test pada partisipan penelitian menunjukkan intervensi origami berbasis experiential learning meningkatkan kemampuan spasial anak anak usia dini. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of experiential learning-based origami intervention in improving young children’s spatial ability. Spatial ability is a fundamental aspect of cognition that develops in line with cognitive development. Spatial ability in children is associated with topological or two-way spatial relations, such as top-bottom, right-left, front-back. Many media are proven to improve spatial abilities in children, one of which is origami. In origami, children are invited to actively participate in order to make origami figures. This is also needed in experiential learning methods. Experiential learning is a process of learning through experience (learning by doing). In this method, students actively participate in an activity, so as to produce new knowledge or abilities. This research is a quasi-experimental research. There were 3 participants who were students of K2 Grade of Kindergarten X with the following characteristics: (a) the age of participants between 5-6 years; (b) participants are undergoing education in K2 grade kindergarten X during 2017-2018 school year. This study uses within-group design, one-group pretest posttest. The researcher gave origami intervention based on experiential learning to the study participants after pre-test, and administered post-test on the participants after 8 sessions of intervention were conducted. The result of this study indicates that the spatial ability of participants had increased, although in different dimensions. The results of post-test on participants showed that origami interventions based on experiential learning improve the spatial abilities of young children.

The ability to think critically and creatively is needed in solving math problems. Secondary school students in Indonesia still possess these two abilities according to the results of PISA research. Therefore, learning studies that influence these two abilities are still feasible to do. This study aims to examine the effect of MEA learning with contextual worksheets on the ability to think critically and creatively in solving math problems. The study was a quasi-experimental study using a post-test only control group design. The research population consisted of 137 class X students of SMK Kharisma Mengwi, Badung Regency, Bali for the 2019/2020 school year, which was spread into five classes with equivalent math abilities. A random sampling technique determined a sample of 2 classes. Data on the ability to think critically and creatively in solving mathematical problems were collected using a test in the form of a description. Data were analyzed using the MANOVA test. The results of the analysis show that MEA learning with contextual worksheets has a positive effect on the ability to think critically and creatively in solving math problems (F = 90.018; p <0.05).

Background: Health education can require an emphasis on potentially difficult concepts in anatomy and alignment. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe the effect of active use of Tinkertoys® to promote understanding of alignment and to report its effectiveness for knowledge acquisition among students according to spatial ability. Methods: Two cohorts of physical therapy (PT) students (n=70) participated in this project over two years. Thirty-four students (second cohort) rated their math and spatial abilities on a survey. Following a traditional lecture on femoral torsion and angle of inclination, all participants took a pre-test. Then, a Tinkertoys® model of the lower limb was used along with a pelvic bone to simulate the hip anatomy and alignment. Only students in the second cohort received the opportunity to simultaneously manipulate similar models at their desks. At the end of the class period, a post-test was given. Four days later, a similar quiz was given. Descriptive statistics and repeated measures with pairwise comparisons were used to analyze the data. Results: Quiz means improved from pre-test (32.1%) to post-test (74.6%, p=0.023). Differences were not evident between people who self-reported stronger versus weaker spatial abilities (p=0.186). Conclusions: Tinkertoys® model use, with or without simultaneous model manipulation, facilitated learning, regardless of self-reported spatial ability.

The Impact

Lately, researchers have expressed their concern for EFL students’ poor writing performance and exam failure. They have indicated that peer assessment (PA) can be successfully employed to support a better integration of teaching/instruction with assessment of progress in learning. Bearing this in mind, the current study employed a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design and aimed to explore the effect of PA on 200 Greek Cypriot EFL students’ writing performance. These adolescent learners attended two writing classes per week (90 minutes) for a full school year. Teachers received training in PA skills and then had to train their own students. Students were asked to use a PA rubric which was also devised by the researcher but negotiated between the students and their teachers during the training sessions. Paired T-tests were performed to investigate whether students in the control (n=100 students and 10 teachers) and the experimental groups (n=100 students and 10 teachers) enhanced their writing performance comparing their pre- to post-test scores. The study outcomes indicated that PA could have a moderately positive impact on students’ writing performance. The use of PA improved students’ writing performance in 5 aspects: mechanics, organisation, content, focus, and vocabulary and language use. In response to the need for more experimentation, this study provides recommendations for PA implementation in secondary school EFL writing classes which enable teachers to improve students’ writing performance.
