One of the strategic steps to improve the quality of education and the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process in senior secondary schools (SMA) is learning needs assessment analysis. This article discusses the importance of needs analysis, the techniques used, results, and application in learning in high schools. Surveys, interviews, and observations are commonly used techniques to identify student characteristics, suitability of materials, and required learning resources. The results of the analysis show that the curriculum and teaching methods must be adjusted to better suit students' interests and learning styles. Changing curricula, providing teacher training, and providing a variety of learning resources are all steps that must be taken to implement these findings. So, learning needs analysis not only increases students' desires but also improves their overall academic performance. This means a better and more supportive learning environment.

Hanif Luthfi Siregar — 2025-01-02

The aim of this research is to reveal and explain the mathematical concepts contained in the architecture of Sipamuthun Temple in Sipalau village. As a research field concerned with the relationship between culture and mathematics, ethnomathematics aims to gain a deeper understanding of the mathematical knowledge of past societies. The research method used is a qualitative approach using descriptive methods such as direct observation, documentation and library observation. The research results show that the design of Sipamuthun Temple displays a varied floor plan that reflects the complexity of the local community's mathematical knowledge. It is hoped that this research can increase public awareness of the importance of understanding mathematical concepts that exist in local culture and preserving existing cultural heritage.

IMPACT OF VIRTUAL LABORATORIES ON SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS AND INTEREST IN LEARNING SCIENCE AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Ummiatul Fitri — 2025-01-02

This paper seeks to investigate the effectiveness of virtual laboratory in enhancing elementary school pupils’ scientific process skills and interests in the learning of science. A quantitative approach employing a quasi-experimental design was adopted including two groups of pupils i.e. a group that utilized virtual laboratories and a group that was taught using the traditional methods. The research instruments comprised of the science process skills pretests, which were administered prior to the intervention, and science process skills post tests, which were administered after the intervention together with questionnaires that measured students’ interest in the learning of science before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using percentage frequency, means and standard deviations, single factor ANOVA testing for homogeneity, independent t-tests and N-Gain to evaluate the level of effectiveness of the intervention. The findings highlight that the experimental group gained significantly more than the control group. The experimental group that employed the use of virtual laboratories had a higher mean posttest score of 0.67 indicating a high Ngain and thus higher science process skills acquisition. However the control group only showed a N-Gain of 0.20. Further, the analysis of the questionnaires showed an even greater gain in learning interest of members of the experimental group indicating that virtual laboratories enhance the acquisition of higher order skills through more active learning approaches. Research of this type suggests that technology-based media especially virtual laboratories can serve as an alternative for the improvement of student learning outcomes and interest in science education. Hence, the use of virtual laboratories can be seen as an innovative pedagogical approach that helps to increase target outcomes of 21st century education in science, in particular
