Abstract

The research question is: How are traditional Timorese houses utilised as a medium for teaching chemistry, and what are the implications, challenges, and impacts? The objective of this study is to investigate the use of traditional Timorese houses as a project-based learning medium for the topic of electron configuration, which has not been extensively explored in the Nusa Tenggara Timur region. The research method employed is a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis through six systematic stages. The findings of this study are as follows: Traditional Timorese houses: a). Can be utilised as a medium for chemistry education. b). They have a symbolic relationship with electron configuration material in terms of spatial layout and the number of occupied electron shells. c). Challenges require extra time in guiding students and implementing projects according to their objectives. d). The impact on teachers is to teach students collaboratively between schools and communities, encourage students to be more proactive and innovative, and support school accreditation. The impact on students includes: improved learning outcomes, motivation, critical thinking, and social awareness, becoming more proactive, as well as students' understanding of the material and home culture.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Ethnoscience-Based Student Worksheets (EbSWs) on the subject matter of the nature of physics and the scientific method. The research subjects were 10th-grade students at SMAK Sint Carolus Penfui. This is a descriptive quantitative study using tests to measure cognitive learning outcomes and Science Process Skills (SPS), while questionnaires were used to measure student perceptions (attitudes, skills, and knowledge). The results showed that EbSW were effective in optimizing students' SPS, with an overall average score of 83.90 (very skilled) and a high consistency of results (standard deviation/SD = 3.61). Student perceptions were very positive, with knowledge (average 83.7) and attitude (average 82.1) aspects categorized as very good. SPS perception results (average 77.9) were categorized as good and showed an increase in higher-level cognitive skills. Cognitive learning outcomes showed a level of mastery (mean = 80.67) with a cognitive SD of 19.07, indicating a gap in mastery of the material among students, especially in higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Overall, EbSW are effective for understanding basic concepts and developing SPS evenly but need to be improved to address varying levels of HOTS mastery.

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the implementation of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) Model integrated with ethnoscience in NTT Ikat Weaving dyeing in Chemistry learning at high schools, including its impact, critical challenges, and strategies for strengthening the competencies of teachers and students. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analytical approach. The research subjects consisted of Chemistry teachers as model implementers and 11th-grade students involved in the learning project. The main research instruments used included observation sheets on the implementation of PjBL focusing on teacher performance, teacher questionnaires, student questionnaires, in-depth interviews with teachers, and in-depth interviews with students. The results show that the implementation of this model was very good (above 82%) in terms of PjBL syntax and ethnoscience integration, providing a significant positive impact in the form of increased motivation, student involvement, and teacher self-efficacy, as well as an increase in the understanding of contextual chemistry concepts. However, the implementation faced critical challenges, particularly in terms of logistical constraints and rigid curriculum time allocation, as well as weaknesses in teacher assessment instruments and criteria (Column 3 criteria were rated the lowest, x̄ = 3.27). For sustainability, a strategy to strengthen teacher competencies is needed through research collaboration with local artisans and institutional support in providing logistics and adjusting curriculum time allocation. Overall, integrated PjBL ethnoscience has proven to be effective and transformative, but its optimization is highly dependent on strong systemic support.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a training project using the Project-Based Learning (PPjBL) model in enhancing elementary school teachers’ competencies in writing and documenting best practices into book chapters. This study employs a mixed-methods approach with a pre-experimental design (one-group pretest–posttest design). The study participants consisted of 9 elementary school teachers selected using saturation sampling. Quantitative data were obtained through pretest and posttest assessments of writing skills, while qualitative data were collected through observations of the implementation of the PPjBL model and perception questionnaires. The results showed a significant improvement in teachers’ writing skills after the training (p < 0.01), particularly in the aspects of content, structure, and academic language. The implementation of the PPjBL model fell into the “mostly implemented” category with an average score of 3.25, indicating that the model’s stages were carried out fairly optimally. In addition, teachers’ perceptions of the PPjBL model fell into the “very positive” category, with an average score of 3.54, particularly regarding the aspects of relevance and the ability to produce tangible outputs in the form of books. These findings indicate that PPjBL is effective and relevant as a project-based training model focused on publication-oriented outputs. This study contributes to the development of a professional teacher training model that not only enhances competencies but also produces tangible outcomes that can be utilized within the educational community.
