Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner skala Likert dan dianalisis dengan paired sample t-test. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam keterampilan berbicara mahasiswa setelah workshop, terutama dalam kenyamanan berbicara di depan kelas (dari 44,9% menjadi 92,3%) dan kepercayaan diri (dari 30,6% menjadi 69,2%). Namun, aspek kepercayaan diri masih memerlukan penguatan lebih lanjut. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya intervensi tambahan untuk membantu mahasiswa mengatasi kecemasan berbicara di depan umum.

Peran Proyek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila dalam Membentuk Karakter Antikorupsi di Sekolah
Pendidikan antikorupsi menjadi elemen penting dalam membangun karakter generasi muda yang berintegritas. Proyek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5) dalam Kurikulum Merdeka diterapkan sebagai pendekatan pembelajaran berbasis proyek untuk menanamkan nilai kejujuran, tanggung jawab, dan transparansi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas P5 dalam membentuk karakter antikorupsi peserta didik, mengidentifikasi tantangan dalam implementasinya, serta merumuskan strategi optimal yang dapat diterapkan di sekolah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa P5 efektif dalam meningkatkan kesadaran etika peserta didik, tetapi masih menghadapi kendala seperti kurangnya kesiapan pendidik dan keterbatasan sumber daya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan peningkatan kapasitas tenaga pendidik, inovasi pembelajaran, serta dukungan kebijakan untuk memperkuat pendidikan karakter berbasis integritas di sekolah. Dengan strategi yang tepat, P5 dapat menjadi instrumen strategis dalam membangun budaya antikorupsi sejak dini.

Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Minat Baca dan Hubungannya dengan Literasi Membaca dalam Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi minat baca serta pengaruh kemampuan literasi membaca dalam pembelajaran berbasis masalah (PBM). Minat baca memiliki peran krusial dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa, terutama dalam model pembelajaran yang menuntut pemecahan masalah secara mandiri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor internal seperti motivasi, pengalaman membaca, dan keterampilan kognitif, serta faktor eksternal seperti lingkungan belajar, dukungan guru, dan ketersediaan bahan bacaan berpengaruh terhadap minat baca siswa. Selain itu, PBM terbukti mampu meningkatkan kemampuan literasi membaca dengan mendorong siswa untuk lebih aktif dalam mengakses, memahami, dan menginterpretasikan informasi dari berbagai sumber. Oleh karena itu, integrasi strategi pembelajaran yang berbasis literasi membaca sangat disarankan untuk meningkatkan efektivitas PBM.
