The popularity of digital games is undeniable. There are numerous studies on digital games based learning (DGBL) which demonstrate the increased interest in digital games among students. Conversely, there has been a significant decline of interest in learning science. DGBL merges principles and strategies from the game and education fields. It is believed the combination of these two fields would enhance interest in learning science as well as assist students to understand highly conceptual subjects such as Chemistry. However, researchers face challenges to integrate principles of games into educational theories which are often too broad to be implemented in DGBL development. As such, this conceptual paper tries to discuss the potential of merging game principles and learning strategies in DGBL for teaching science concepts.

Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan minat belajar siswa melalui penerapan E-Learning Edmodo dengan model pembeajaran PBL selama masa pandemi Covid-19 ini. Dalam studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan kepada siswa MAN 2 kota Jambi yang melakukan kegiatan pembelajaran selama pandemi Covid-19 menyatakan bahwa minat belajarnya rendah. Hal ini terjadi karena guru hanya memberikan tugas dan tidak ada proses pembelajaran yang menghubungkan langsung antara guru dan siswa melalui suatu kegiatan pembelajaran dan penggunaan platform Edmodo masih jarang digunakan. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan google form yang berisi kuesioner tentang tanggapan deskripsi kegiatan menggunakan edmodo kepada siswa kelas XI. Hasil peningkatan minat siswa berdasarkan beberapa indikator yang diamati adalah rasa senang dengan skor rata-rata 3,18 termasuk kategori baik, keingintahuan 3,38 kategori sangat baik, perhatian 3,30 kategori sangat baik, dan ketertarikan 3,015 kaategori baik. Berdasarkan data penelitian diketahui bahwa penerapan pembelajaran Problem Based Learning selama pembelajaran menggunakan e-learning edmodo mampu meningkatkan minat belajar siswa.Abstract. This study aims to increase students' interest in learning through the application of Edmodo E-Learning with PBL learning models during the Covid-19 pandemic. In a preliminary study conducted to MAN 2 students in Jambi City who conducted learning activities during the Covid-19 pandemic stated that their interest in learning was low. This happens because the teacher only gives assignments and there is no learning process that connects directly between the teacher and students through a learning activity and the use of Edmodo platform is still rarely used. Data was collected using a google form containing a questionnaire about responses to descriptions of activities using edmodo to class XI students. The results of increasing student interest based on several indicators observed were happy with an average score of 3.18 including the good category, curiosity 3.38 the excellent category, the attention of 3.30 the excellent category, and the interest of the 3,015 good category. Based on research data it is known that the application of Problem Based Learning during learning using ed-modo e-learning can increase student interest in learning.

Positive Results

Learning is mainly based on the students’ mental activities. If they can learn spontaneously, it will help increase their interest and the effectiveness of the learning. Learning through playing will make it easier for students to learn spontaneously. The balance between gameplay and education in educational games is a key issue in designing such games. Designing educational games to be less complex and more casual makes it easier to balance education and entertainment. For courses with practical operational characteristics, combining a game with a virtual and real integration experience can increase both student interest and learning effectiveness. This research develops an augmented reality app, named "Mobile Plant", which is an app developed for the primary school plant curriculum, combining games and augmented reality to enhance students’ interest in learning. A questionnaire shows that the game has positive results in terms of game difficulty and absorption of content.

A preliminary study of human mammary carcinoma on the ultrastructural level is reported for a metastatic, subcutaneous nodule, obtained as a surgical biopsy. The patient's tumor had responded favorably to a series of hormonal therapies, including androgens, estrogens, progestins, and corticoids for recurring nodules over eight years. The pertinent nodule was removed from the region of the gluteal maximus, two weeks following stilbestrol therapy. It was about 1.5 cms in diameter, and was located within the dermis. Pieces from it were fixed immediately in cold fixatives: phosphate buffered osmium tetroxide, glutaraldehyde, and paraformaldehyde. Embedment in each case was in Vestopal W. Contrasting was done with combinations of uranyl acetate and lead hydroxide.

Preliminary Study

A new strain of mice, which had arisen by mutation from a dystrophic mouse colony was designated ‘mdx’, because the genetic defect, which manifests itself in brief periods of muscle destruction followed by episodes of muscle regeneration appears to be X-linked. Further studies of histopathological changes in muscle from ‘mdx’ mice at the light microscopic or electron microscopic levels have been published, but only one preliminary study has been on the tibialis anterior (TA) of ‘mdx’ mice less than four weeks old. Lesions in the ‘mdx’ mice vary between different muscles, and centronucleation of fibers in all muscles studied so far appears to be especially prominent in older mice. Lesions in young ‘mdx’ mice have not been studied extensively, and the results appear to be at variance with one another. The degenerative and regenerative aspects of the lesions in the TA of 23 to 26-day-old ‘mdx’ mice appear to vary quantitatively.

Preliminary Study

Left ventricular assist systems are being developed for eventual long term or permanent implantation as an alternative to heart transplantation in patients unsuitable for or denied the transplant option. Evaluation of the effects of these devices upon normal physiology is required. A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the morphology of aortic tissue from calves implanted with a pneumatic Left Ventricular Assist device-LVAD. Two 3 month old heifer calves (calf 1 and calf 2) were electively explanted after 128 days and 47 days respectively. Descending thoracic aortic tissue from both animals was removed immediately post mortem and placed into karnovsky’s fixative. The tissue was subsequently processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Some aortic tissue was fixed in neutral buffered formalin and processed for routine light microscopy.
