Abstract

The Merdeka curriculum uses differentiation in content, process, and product, with DSI process differentiation through tiered activities and varied guidance to accommodate diverse student learning styles. The research aimed to determine the level of concept understanding among students at the inquiry level, both before and after being taught using the DSI learning model based on the TaRL approach in class VIII. The subjects were 34 students from a junior high school in Makassar. This research was a pre-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving an experimental group and a control group. Data collection used initial ability and concept understanding tests on light and optical devices through pre-tests and post-tests. Research findings showed that the student significantly improved their conceptual understanding, with average scores increasing from 6.31 on the pre-test to 16.12 on the post-test. Then, the DSI Model within the TaRL approach was effective in strengthening the students’ conceptual understanding of science subjects.

Abstract

Computational Thinking (CT) has been increasingly recognized as a key competency in science education, especially in preparing future educators to foster 21st-century skills such as problem-solving and digital literacy. However, limited CT instruction in undergraduate programs has resulted in inadequate readiness among pre-service science teachers, particularly in contexts like Indonesia. This study addresses the gap in the evaluation of CT skills among pre-service teachers by using robust psychometric approaches. This article investigates the psychometric properties of a CT assessment tool, examines the CT ability levels of pre-service science teachers, and evaluates the presence of gender-based item bias. The study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional design utilizing Rasch model analysis to assess instrument reliability, item fit, and differential item functioning (DIF) across gender. A total of 419 pre-service science teachers from two universities in Indonesia were selected using stratified random sampling to ensure proportional representation across academic levels. Data collection and analysis: Data were collected using the 28-item Computational Thinking Test (CTt) and analyzed using Winsteps software for Rasch modeling, including item/person reliability, separation, fit statistics, Wright maps, and DIF analysis. Results indicated high item reliability and good model fit, though person reliability was relatively low, suggesting limited ability discrimination. Several items exhibited gender-based DIF, with some favoring males and others favoring females. The CTt shows strong potential for measuring CT, though refinement is needed to improve its ability to differentiate between skill levels and ensure gender fairness. CT is increasingly recognized as an essential competency in science education to support problem-solving, analytical reasoning, and 21st-century digital literacy skills. However, empirical evidence regarding the measurement quality of CT instruments among pre-service science teachers in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the CTt, describe the distribution of CT skills among pre-service science teachers, and examine gender-based item bias using the Rasch model. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving 419 pre-service science teachers from two Indonesian universities selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using Winsteps software to examine reliability, separation index, item fit, Wright map distribution, and DIF. The results showed that the CTt demonstrated high item reliability and good model fit, indicating that the instrument is appropriate for measuring CT skills. However, person reliability was relatively low, suggesting limited sensitivity in distinguishing individual ability levels. Wright map analysis indicated that most respondents were distributed at a moderate ability level. In addition, DIF analysis identified several items with potential gender bias, favoring both male and female respondents. Overall, the CTt shows strong potential as an instrument for measuring CT skills, although further refinement is needed to improve measurement sensitivity and ensure gender fairness. These findings contribute to the development of Rasch model–based CT assessment in pre-service science teacher education.

Abstract

Model discovery learning dianggap efektif dalam memfasilitasi pembelajaran yang aktif dan kreatif, di mana siswa diberikan kesempatan untuk menemukan konsep-konsep melalui eksplorasi dan eksperimen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemahaman guru terhadap model pembelajaran berbasis penemuan (discovery learning) di Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif dengan metode survei yang melibatkan 146 guru SMA di Sulawesi Selatan yang mengajar dengan Kurikulum Merdeka. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner berbasis skala Likert, yang mengukur pemahaman guru terhadap konsep, implementasi, dan tantangan dalam penerapan model discovery learning. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan model Rasch untuk memastikan validitas dan reliabilitas instrumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas guru memiliki pemahaman yang baik terhadap discovery learning, meskipun terdapat beberapa tantangan yang dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor demografis seperti jenis kelamin, usia, dan wilayah sekolah. Temuan ini memberikan wawasan penting bagi perancangan pelatihan profesional guru yang lebih kontekstual dan responsif terhadap kebutuhan lokal, serta mengidentifikasi potensi perbaikan pada instrumen pengukuran pemahaman guru terhadap model discovery learning.

Abstract

Project Based Learning (PjBL) is one of the learning models that many teachers use in the learning process in this independent curriculum. Even so, the understanding and application of the PjBL model is still very varied, so this study was carried out to examine  the understanding and application of Project-Based Learning by teachers in South Sulawesi using quantitative methods and Rasch analysis. With PjBL gaining prominence in Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum for developing 21st-century skills, challenges like uneven teacher readiness and resource limitations persist. The research aims to assess PjBL comprehension levels among teachers, examine demographic influences, and identify implementation barriers. Data were collected via a 26-item Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 300 teachers across primary, junior, and senior high schools. Rasch analysis confirmed the instrument's reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.92) and validity. Findings revealed that female teachers, younger educators, and high school teachers demonstrated stronger PjBL understanding. However, practical application faced difficulties in project design, time management, and assessment. The study concludes that while conceptual knowledge exists, structural support and targeted training are needed for effective PjBL implementation. Recommendations include specialized professional development programs and policy interventions to address implementation gaps.

Abstract

The urgency of this study lies in addressing students’ difficulties in understanding electrical circuits through an inquiry-based learning approach supported by Tinkercad. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of an inquiry learning model assisted by Tinkercad in teaching electrical circuit concepts at the senior high school level. The study employed a descriptive research design involving students and a physics teacher in a senior high school. Data were collected through classroom observations, student worksheets (LKPD), and teacher interviews. The implementation of the inquiry learning model was evaluated based on the achievement of each inquiry learning stage, while student worksheet results were used to assess learning outcomes related to conceptual understanding, process skills, analytical skills, conclusion drawing, and concept integration. The findings showed that all stages of the inquiry learning model were successfully implemented according to the planned procedures. Students demonstrated the highest level of engagement during the data collection stage through electrical circuit simulations using Tinkercad. The average student worksheet achievement reached 85%, categorized as very good. The highest score was obtained in conceptual understanding (91%), while the lowest score was found in conclusion-drawing skills (79%). Teacher interview results revealed positive perceptions of Tinkercad, particularly in its ability to visualize abstract electrical concepts, facilitate student exploration, and provide an alternative to conventional laboratory activities. Despite these positive findings, some students still required guidance in formulating hypotheses and drawing scientific conclusions. This study concludes that the integration of inquiry-based learning and Tinkercad can support the implementation of electrical circuit learning by providing a more interactive, exploratory, and student-centered learning environment. The findings contribute to the growing use of virtual laboratory technology in physics education, particularly in schools with limited laboratory facilities.
