This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the integrated learning model of local wisdom in improving students' science process skills. This research uses a quasi-experimental design with two groups, namely an experimental group that applies an integrated learning model of local wisdom and a control group that applies a direct learning model. Data was collected using a science process skills test. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis and statistical analysis using MANOVA analysis. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the science process skills of students in the experimental group and the control group. This shows that the integrated learning model of local wisdom is effective in improving students' science process skills because there is a significant difference with an F value of 1.114.

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0800

This research provides an in-depth review of the integration of digital literacy and cyber socialization in 21st-century education, positing the importance of these two aspects in preparing students for an ever-evolving world. Using PRISMA's framework for systematic analysis, the study evaluated articles from reputable journals between 2014 and 2024, presenting results that underscore a significant shift in the educational paradigm from traditional to digital. Digital literacy, defined as the ability to use technology efficiently, search and evaluate information, and communicate effectively on digital platforms, has become an essential requirement in modern education. The study shows that digital literacy not only improves technical skills but also supports critical and creative learning among students. In addition, digital literacy education includes teaching ethics and online safety and encouraging responsible internet use. Cyber socialization, with its focus on interaction through social media and digital platforms, has enriched the learning experience through wider collaboration and exchange of resources. However, it also poses challenges such as cyberbullying and security issues, which demand a structured educational response to address related social and psychological issues. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 and the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated the acceptance of technology in education, emphasizing the importance of character education and the adaptation of innovative teaching methods. Education that is responsive to technological change must integrate digital literacy into all aspects of learning, leading to a more holistic and inclusive approach. Overall, the study underscores the importance of digital literacy and cyber socialization in shaping adaptive and supportive learning environments. 21st-century education must recognize and utilize technology not only as an auxiliary tool but as an integral part of the curriculum, to equip students with the skills needed to succeed in the digital age. By ensuring that digital literacy and cyber socialization are at the heart of education, we can anticipate future needs and challenges, shaping a generation that can not only survive but thrive in an ever-changing digital landscape.
