Abstract

The study aims to develop and validate a Socio-Scientific Reasoning (SSR) assessment instrument based on local water issues for preservice elementary teachers. The simplified Research and Development (R&D) method from the Borg & Gall model was used in this study. The development process includes three main stages: preliminary study, instrument development and Validation, and limited trials. The instrument was designed around six key dimensions of SSR and consists of 24 extended-response items, contextualized within a conflict over the distribution of Senjoyo springs in Semarang Regency. Content validation was done through expert review using Aiken's V, while empirical validity and reliability were tested using the Rasch model. The results showed that most questions were valid and reliable, with high internal consistency. The instrument trial with 108 preservice elementary school teachers showed that participants' SSR abilities varied, with the highest achievements in the inquiry and context-bound dimensions and the lowest in the skepticism and affordances of science and non-science considerations dimensions. This study emphasizes developing SSR instruments tailored to local contexts to support critical, reflective, and contextually grounded elementary science learning.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of Science, Technology, Society, and Culture (STS-C) based multimodal science materials in enhancing digital science literacy and global character among fifth-grade students. This quasi-experimental study employed a Non-equivalent Control Group design involving 64 students. Data gathered via digital science literacy tests, global character questionnaires, and observation sheets were analyzed using ANCOVA and N-Gain scores. The experimental group showed a significant increase in digital science literacy (mean post-test: 88.65; N-Gain: 0.74, high) and global character (mean post-test: 84.30; N-Gain: 0.58, medium). The analysis showed a significant difference in outcomes compared to the control class (p < 0.001). Conclusion: STS-C-based multimodal materials are effective in enhancing students' scientific understanding and internalizing global citizenship values within local cultural contexts. This study contributes a theoretically modeled instructional framework that bridges digital technology with socio-cultural elements in primary science education.
