Nur Wakhidah — 2024-03-26

The learning process in the 21st century is inseparable from pedagogic abilities, content, and technology, known as technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Research on TPACK is often carried out to discover TPACK knowledge in teachers and prospective teachers. There needs to be more TPACK research on teacher professional education (TPE) students and TPACK based on the skills possessed by teachers who take TPE. This study aims to determine the effect of pedagogic knowledge (PK), content knowledge (CK), and technological knowledge (TK) on TPACK and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) on lesson plan. This quantitative research was conducted on TPE students at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya with 20 people from regions throughout Indonesia. Data were collected from student lesson plan, which were analyzed based on the TPACK and HOTS indicators developed by the researcher. The resulting scores were analyzed path analysis with smartPLS. The results showed that pedagogic knowledge (PK) influenced content-based technology (TCK), technological knowledge (TK) influenced pedagogic-based technology (TPK), and pedagogic-based technology (TPK) influenced technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Content, pedagogy, and technology do not affect HOTS.

Kristina Anugerah Aji — 2024-03-26

The diversity of student profiles indicates the need for an appropriate time and place of study. Therefore, Universitas Terbuka as an open and distance education institution has a challenge to provide learning services that can meet the needs of its students with flexible learning opportunities. One of the learning assistance services for students at the Universitas Terbuka (UT) began to develop learning media that utilizes the concept of immersive learning for students to get meaningful experiences by doing practical learning. To produce video media in one of the practical courses in the Undergraduate Educational Technology Study Program, Universitas Terbuka students need complete production equipment such as cameras, lights, audio, and camera mounting, to achieve competence in video-making practice. One obstacle is that students do not have this equipment or do not have access to learn to use it. Can augmented reality media be accepted as a learning medium that suits student needs? UT developed augmented reality technology to facilitate learning by referring to the principle of distance learning. The research uses a correlation study between technology acceptance and experience using augmented reality with Universitas Terbuka student respondents, especially the Educational Technology Study Program. The results found that students received technology as evidenced by the correlation between technology acceptance and experience using augmented reality.

Ary Kiswanto Kenedi — 2024-03-26

The development of the digital-based technology era requires elementary school students to master STEM literacy. However, based on literature reviews and initial measurements of elementary school students' STEM abilities, innovation is needed to improve. This research aims to determine the effect of augmented reality media on elementary school students' STEM literacy. This research is a quasi-experiment using a nonequivalent control group design. This research was carried out on 50 elementary school students. This research shows that the Independent Sample T Test produces a significance value (two-tailed) < 0.05. This result indicates a difference in the average STEM literacy between elementary school students who use augmented reality learning media and elementary school students who use conventional learning media. The intermediate understanding of STEM literacy for students in classes that use learning media is higher than for students who learn through traditional media. These findings prove that using augmented reality learning media effectively increases elementary school students' STEM literacy. This research implies that augmented reality media can be an alternative solution for increasing elementary school students' STEM literacy.
