Abstract

The mastery of scientific literacy is a critical competency in 21st-century education, enabling students to apply scientific knowledge in solving real-world problems. However, evidence shows that elementary school students in Indonesia generally achieve low levels of scientific literacy, particularly in conceptual reasoning and the application of scientific evidence. This study aimed to analyze the scientific literacy skills of Grade IV students at UPTD SD Negeri 2 Peusangan Siblah Krueng, focusing on three key indicators: identifying scientific evidence, explaining scientific phenomena, and applying scientific evidence in daily life. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design, data were collected from 25 students through a 15-item test developed based on the Programme for International Student Assessment framework. The responses were analyzed using content analysis to categorize ability levels. The results indicated that 44% of students were in the low category, 40% in the high category, and 16% in the moderate category. Students performed best in identifying scientific evidence, followed by applying evidence in real-life contexts, while the lowest achievement was in explaining phenomena, reflecting limited conceptual understanding and reasoning ability. These findings highlight the need for transforming science instruction from content delivery to experiential, inquiry-based, and problem-based learning integrated with real-life contexts and technology. Such pedagogical reforms are expected to foster deeper conceptual mastery, critical thinking, and practical application of scientific knowledge, thereby contributing to both the theoretical development of science education and practical efforts to enhance 21st-century competencies at the primary school level.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the effect of a learning intervention on the questioning ability in physics learning of the students of SMA Negeri 1 Kuta Baro. Employing a quantitative approach with a nonequivalent control group quasi-experimental design, the research involved 84 students, comprising 41 students in the experimental group (Classes X-1 and XI-1) and 43 students in the control group (Classes X-2 and XI-2). The learning intervention in the experimental class integrated the problem-based learning (PBL) model, teacher-student question-and-answer interactions, collaborative group discussions, and inter-group Q&A sessions. The research results showed that the learning intervention significantly and substantially enhanced students' questioning ability, as measured by the dimensions of questioning skills, including clarity, focus, conciseness, depth of information, and cognitive level. There was a 27.56% increase in the quantity of written questions in the experimental class, far exceeding the 7.9% increase in the control class. Although the quantity of oral questions increased in the experimental class, the cognitive level of oral questions in both groups remained low; however, their effectiveness (clarity and focus) was categorized as high. Overall, the learning intervention proved effective in facilitating the development of students' questioning skills, although further strategies were still needed to encourage questions at higher cognitive levels. Further follow-up is required to enhance students' oral questioning ability at the mental level by improving their prior knowledge of the subject matter and critical thinking skills

Abstract

Physics learning needs to emphasize science process skills (KPS) in students. In fact, from the results of a case study conducted at SMAN 2 Banda Aceh, it was found that the LKPD used by teachers was still conventional and there were no aspects of KPS. The purpose of this study was to determine the results of the application of physics LKPD based on the STEM approach in improving the KPS of high school students. This study used a quantitative approach of experimental type Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The samples used in this study were X4 and X6 class students totaling seventy people taken by purposive sampling. The instrument in this study was the KPS test. Data analysis of this study used the average test, N-gain test and t-test. The results showed the average value of the experimental class KPS N-gain of 0.70 was in the high category and the control class N-gain of 0.63 was in the medium category. Based on the results of the t-test, it can be concluded that there are differences in the improvement of students' KPS in physics learning taught with the STEM approach and those taught using the direct learning model.

Abstract

The ability of students in solving physics problems used Polya's theory is still at a low level, in general students have difficulty in solving physics problems at the stages of planning and implementing problem solving. This study aims to determine the level of difficulty of students in solving physics problems used Polya's theory and find out what are the difficulties of students in solving physics problems used Polya's theory. The research approach used is mixed method, with the explanatory sequential design. Data collection techniques used tests and interviews. The results of data analysis show that the very high level of difficulty of students in solving equilibrium problems of rigid bodies is at the stage of seeing / checking back, but the difficulties experienced by students at this stage are very dependent on the other three stages of Polya, namely understanding the problem, planning problem solving and implementing problem solving. Students' difficulties in solving physics problems used Polya's theory, among others, students had difficulty in translating or changing the problem in physics symbols, students had difficulty in making plans because they did not know the formula that should be used, students had difficulty in completing mathematical operations and students did not re-examine the solution steps and answers that had been obtained so that some answers were still not correct.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to increase students' CTS and CS about quantity and unit material using ethnoscience-based inquiry learning. The study utilized a non-equivalent control group design with two classes: experimental and control. The sample in this study were students of class X IPA 7 and X IPA 8, who were chosen using purposive sampling procedures. The research sample comprised 71 students. The research data was gathered using 15 multiple-choice questions, a CTS questionnaire, and a CS questionnaire. Normality, homogeneity, the t-test, and correlation tests were employed to analyze the data. Based on the research findings, students' CTS and CS rose in the experimental class, with N-gain values of 0.71 (high) and 0.60 (medium). The experimental and control courses showed significant differences in students' CTS and CS outcomes (Sig. < 0.05). Aside from that, there is a very strong correlation between students' CTS and CS results in learning, with r = 0.938. It may be concluded that using an ethnoscience-based inquiry paradigm can help students enhance their CTS and CS. Thus, it is possible to infer that ethnoscience-based inquiry learning may increase students' CTS and students' CS. There is a very strong correlation between CTS and students' CS.
