Abstract

This study examines the profile of science process skills and scientific attitudes among students in Nunukan Regency. The study population includes 9th-grade students from junior high schools during the 2023/2024 school year. The research involved 243 students to evaluate science process skills and 332 students to assess scientific attitudes through questionnaires spanning 21 different schools. The research type is descriptive quantitative with the sampling technique being conducted through accidental sampling. The study administered 27 questions on electrical circuit material and a scientific attitude questionnaire with 40 statement items using a Likert scale. The results show that (1) varying levels of science process skills: observing (40%), classifying (39.4%), predicting (30.87%), planning experiments (40.6%), formulating hypotheses (40.2%), interpreting data (38.4%), implementing concepts (38.7%), measuring (37.3%), and communicating (36.2%). The average score for science process skills was 38%, falling into the low category. (2) In contrast, scientific attitude scores were higher: curiosity (71.3%), critical thinking (71.3%), respecting data/facts (63%), open-mindedness (74.1%), cooperation (68.1%), and honesty (72.2%), with an average score of 70%, falling into the high category. (3) The results of the correlation analysis indicate that H0 is rejected, and Ha is accepted. This means there is a significant relationship between scientific process skills and scientific attitude, which is weak but positive.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Assessment of students' critical thinking skills and environmental care attitudes is crucial for science learning. This research aims to develop an essay test instrument for critical thinking and a questionnaire for environmental care attitudes, evaluating their validity through expert assessments and trials. Methodology: Utilizing the Research and Development (R&D) model by Oriondo & Dallo-Antoio (1998), the study comprises three stages: test planning, trials, and validation. A random sampling technique was employed, involving 267 students. The critical thinking instrument consists of essay questions, while the environmental care attitudes are measured using a prosocial intentions questionnaire. Main Findings: Validity results indicate a high Aiken index of 0.96 for critical thinking essays and 1.0 for the environmental care questionnaire. Reliability estimates were 0.73 for critical thinking and 0.71 for environmental attitudes, both good. The difficulty level for the critical thinking instrument was classified as medium (0.68), while the environmental care instrument was deemed difficult (1.65). Limitations include focusing solely on science subjects, trials restricted to one area, and reliance on self-reports for environmental attitudes, which may introduce bias. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in integrating critical thinking assessment with environmental care attitudes, a rare approach in previous research. In conclusion, the developed instruments effectively measure students' critical thinking skills and environmental care attitudes in science education, particularly regarding global warming.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in science learning to enhance student creativity, focusing on analyzing electronic teaching materials used at the secondary education level. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach following PRISMA guidelines, this study identified and analyzed 32 scientific articles from Sinta, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases relevant to the topic. The analysis showed that e-modules were the most widely used electronic teaching materials, with significant contributions to the improvement of 21st century skills, including creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. This research also highlights the effectiveness of the project-based learning model in supporting students' creative skills development. By providing deep insight into the mechanisms of enhancing creativity through ICT integration in science learning, this study contributes to a better understanding of the role of technology in education and offers recommendations for more innovative teaching practices in the future.

Abstract

This study is a systematic review of 26 articles published between 2017 and 2024, focusing on misconceptions in science education within Indonesian schools. Misconceptions, defined as persistent misunderstandings that hinder effective learning, are a significant barrier to students' scientific literacy. The research employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, following the PRISMA model, to synthesize findings and address key research questions regarding these misconceptions.The analysis reveals that the majority of misconceptions were identified in 2023, accounting for 27% of the total findings, with a notable prevalence at the high school level (50%), followed by junior high (31%) and elementary schools (19%). In terms of subjects, physics misconceptions dominate at 50%, followed by chemistry (31%) and biology (19%). Geographically, East Java emerges as a hotspot for these misconceptions, representing 27% of the cases analyzed.This research contributes to the field of science education by highlighting critical areas where misconceptions occur, particularly in physics at the high school level. By identifying these misconceptions, educators can develop targeted interventions to enhance teaching strategies and improve overall student comprehension in science, ultimately fostering better scientific literacy among Indonesian students.

Abstract

Cultivating an environmental care attitude among students is essential to support sustainable development and environmental protection. This study aims to explore junior high school students’ environmental care attitudes within the context of science learning on global warming. A quantitative descriptive design was employed involving junior highschool students. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire with a prosocial intention scale covering four indicators: energy saving, waste management, carbon emission reduction, and environmental care. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to determine the mean and percentage of each indicator. The results revealed that the overall level of students’ environmental care attitude was 78% (good category). Among the indicators, energy saving (86%) and environmental care (89%) were in the very good category, while waste management (65%) was categorized as adequate and carbon emission reduction (73%) as good. These findings indicate that students show strong awareness of energy use and cleanliness but limited responsibility for waste processing and reducing emissions. It is recommended that science learning be integrated with practical environmental education programs to strengthen students’ green mindset and sustainable behaviors in daily life.
