By applying the TGT model, students will be more motivated to learn and will be able to improve student learning outcomes. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of cooperative learning model type Teams Games Tournament (TGT) on the material substance and changes to the learning outcomes of students in grade VII junior high school. This study is included in the type of Quasi-experimental research using a research design that is Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sampling technique used is Purposive Sampling. The sample consisted of one experimental class using cooperative model type TGT and one control class using lecture and discussion method. The instrument used is a written test with multiple choice questions. This study conducted statistical analysis with the help of Microsoft Excel. Based on the hypothesis test with the test U (Mann Whitney) diperolehkan z<sub>hitung</sub> value of 3.01 and z<sub>tabel</sub> of 1.96. Seen H1 accepted, so it can be concluded that the cooperative learning model type TGT has a significant influence on the learning outcomes of students in grade VII Junior High School on the material substance and its changes.</p> Ayu Puspita Sari Firda Az Zahra Rani Oktavia Aulia Azhar ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-12-09 2025-12-09 6 2 126 133 10.24036/universe.v6i2.817 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SURVEY, QUESTION, READ, RECITE, REVIEW (SQ3R) SCIENCE LEARNING STRATEGY IN SMP NEGERI 10 PADANGSIDIMPUAN http://universe.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/universe/article/view/803 <p>The rapid development of science and technology in the 21st century has increased awareness of the importance of education in developing individual competencies and improving overall educational quality. In Indonesia, educational quality remains a major concern. One contributing factor is the use of ineffective learning strategies, which often results in low student engagement and declining learning outcomes. Therefore, the selection of appropriate learning strategies is essential. The Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) strategy is one approach that can encourage students to participate actively in exploring, questioning, and discussing learning materials.This study aims to describe the implementation of the SQ3R strategy in science learning at SMP Negeri 10 Padangsidimpuan. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, involving 23 students from class VIII-1 as research participants. Data were collected through observations conducted during the learning process. The findings indicate that at the Survey stage, students successfully skimmed the material to gain an initial understanding, with an implementation rate of 100%. At the Question stage, students formulated relevant questions with a 98% implementation rate. During the Read stage, students read the material thoroughly, achieving 100%. At the Recite stage, they effectively recalled key concepts, also with 100%. Finally, at the Review stage, students were able to present their answers and review the material with a 99% implementation rate. Overall, the SQ3R strategy was implemented effectively, with an average implementation rate of 99%.</p> Yuliani Yuliani Arief Muttaqiin Tuti Lestari Yurnetti Yurnetti ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-12-09 2025-12-09 6 2 134 141 10.24036/universe.v6i2.803 DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE INTERACTIVE E-MODULES FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLS INTEGRATED WITH AL-QUR'AN VALUES http://universe.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/universe/article/view/650 <p>The application of learning to the Kurikulum Merdeka such as the Pancasila Student Profile has one aspect of achievement in the learning framework, one of which is the dimension of trust, piety to God Almighty and Good character. Kurikulum Merdeka learning frees teachers to use technology in carrying out the learning process. Based on this, research was conducted with the aim of producing valid and practical E-Modules. The type of research used Research and Development (R&amp;D) and uses the ADDIE model using three stages of the model. The validity test of the Interactive E-Module is carried out by the validator and the practicality test is carried out by the science teacher and students. The instrument used was a questionnaire in the form of validity and practicality sheets. The results of the validity test obtained an average value of 0.92 with a very high category. The results of the practicality test by the teacher showed a value of 0.96, by students it was 0.90 in the very high category. It can be concluded that the development of the Science Interactive E-Module for Integrated Middle School Al-Qur'an Values ​​has a level of validity and practicality with a very high category.</p> Annisa Fitri Yeni Skunda Diliarosta Febri Yanto ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-12-09 2025-12-09 6 2 142 147 10.24036/universe.v6i2.650 THE EFFECT OF MODEL PROBLEM BASED LEARNING ON LEARNING OUTCOMES OF STUDENT IN GRADE VII AT SMPN 7 SIJUNJUNG http://universe.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/universe/article/view/811 <p>Kurikulum Merdeka expects students to be able to develop soft skills and character in accordance with the Pancasila Student Profile. One of the lessons that can realize the Pancasila Student Profile is science. Implementing of science learning in schools requires a learning model so that the learning process has systematic step. One of the learning models recommended are Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. This type of research is quasi experiment with posttest only control group design. The population in this study were all student in VII grade at SMPN 7 Sijunjung. This experiment using purposive sampling technique, so that the sample were obtained as student at class VII. 5 and VII. 6. The research sample consisted of one experimental class applying the Problem Based Learning assisted by practicum and the control class using the conventional learning model. The research result obtained an average of experimental class = 49,97 and control class = 45,33. Based on prerequisite test, it was found the data were normal and homogenous. Include that the data on research show a significant influence in application of the Problem Based Learning on student in grade VII at SMPN 7 Sijunjung.</p> Hayatul Hani Hanifah Khairil Arif Febri Yanto Monica Prima Sari ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-12-09 2025-12-09 6 2 148 152 10.24036/universe.v6i2.811 TEACHER PERCEPTIONS OF KURIKULUM MERDEKA IMPLEMENTATION IN SCIENCE LEARNING http://universe.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/universe/article/view/662 <p>This research purpose to know the teacher's perception of Kurikulum Merdeka implementation in learning science. Kurikulum Merdeka was implemented because of an educational gap after the Covid-19 pandemic occurred in Indonesia. The implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka is divided into Kurikulum Merdeka Mandiri Belajar, Berbagi, and Berubah. The sample of this research were schools that implemented Kurikulum Merdeka Mandiri Berbagi and Berubah. Schools implementing Kurikulum Merdeka Mandiri Berbagi are SMPN 7 Padang, SMPN 10 Padang, SMPN 11 Padang, as well as schools implementing Kurikulum Merdeka Mandiri Berubah are SMPN 3 Padang, SMPN 25 Padang, and SMPN 38 Padang. The research was a researchs in qualitative descriptive which is conducted by distributing questionnaires to science teachers who apply Kurikulum Merdeka in learning. The questionnaire used consisted of 40 statement items and 6 questions related to Kurikulum Merdeka in science learning. The results of the whole questionnaire show that 90% of science teachers understand and agree with the aspects of Learning Outcomes in the Kurikulum Merdeka 90% on Assessment statement points, 89% on Learning Model points, 76% on Lesson Time Allocation statement points, and 89% at the point of Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila statement. We got the conclussion that the implementation teacher's perception of Kurikulum Merdeka in learning of science is positive.</p> Rahma Rizalmi Rahmah Evita Putri ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-12-09 2025-12-09 6 2 153 158 10.24036/universe.v6i2.662 DEVELOPMENT OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING MODULE FOR SCIENCE LEARNING IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL http://universe.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/universe/article/view/628 <p>E-Modul adalah bahan belajar yang disusun secara sistematis menggunakan kalimat yang mudah dimengerti oleh peserta didik sesuai dengan tingkat pemahaman dan usianya sehingga peserta didik bisa belajar secara mandiri.
