Abstract

Students’ beliefs toward conspiracy theory (CT) of COVID-19 can be the indication of science education quality. However, a validated instrument to measure the level of students’ acceptance on the CT about COVID-19 still remains unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the questionnaire of CT about COVID-19. The questionnaire consisted of 14 items and delivered online to the 400 students of Biology education in Indonesia. The data was analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). All items have standard deviation between 1.60 and 2.63, but one item was revealed to have insignificant correlation. The EFA result indicated that the other 13 items had loading factor 0.5 and were categorized into three dimensions. The third dimension was eliminated after the administration of CFA due to only one item in the dimension (λ>0.5). There were three items in the first dimension and two items in the second dimension resulted in λ<0.5. The correlated model from CFA disclosed good values of goodness of fit (GOF), χ2/df=2.527, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) standardized root mean square residual (SRMR)=0.014, comparative fit index (CFI)=0.964, goodness-of-fit index (GFI)=0.969, adjusted goodness of fit (AGFI)=0.940, Tucker-Lewis index (TLI)=0.947, and normed fit index (NFI)=0.943. Therefore, the questionnaire is strongly recommended to measure the level of students’ beliefs toward the CT of COVID-19.

Abstract

Apart from the importance of scientific literacy for the pre-service teachers as the key to success in becoming a teacher who can teach and make literate students, not many studies have revealed the contributing factors, especially the learning experience students. This study aims to measure the level of scientific literacy skills of pre-service students and contributed factors. One hundred and five students at state Islamic universities in Indonesia participated in this study. The data were collected in three stages. First, the level of scientific literacy skills using the Test of Scientific Literacy (TOSLS). Two students with the highest and lowest abilities in each batch were interviewed. Finally, the semester learning plan (RPS) and practicum instructions are reviewed. The mean was used to describe the level of scientific literacy skills, and one-way ANOVA to test differences in skill between the four groups based on the spent year in university. Data obtained from interviews and analysis were analyzed using content analysis techniques. As a result, pre-service biology teachers have a "medium" level of scientific literacy skills. There was a difference between the four groups with the highest and most significantly different fourth-year students. The primary cause of scientific literacy skills is the student learning experience in terms of learning strategies, assignments, evaluations, and practicums activities that are obtained by pre-service biology teachers. The results suggest the following implications for teaching: faculties must identify scientific literacy skills and carry out learning with learning strategies, assignments, evaluations, and practicum activities that support the growth of scientific literacy abilities of a pre-service biology teacher.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the differences in student learning motivation during the COVID-19 pandemic through the provision of structured assignments and independent assignments. This article is a type of quasi-experimental research. This study's population was all Biology Department students at one of the higher education institutions in Southeast Sulawesi. The sample of this study was 3rd-semester students who programmed the Biology Lesson Planning course, which consisted of two classes, namely Class A (giving structured assignments) and Class B (giving independent assignments), with a total of 27 students in each class. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the analysis of structured task learning motivation (3.37) was lower than the independent task learning motivation (3.54) and the t-count (1.70). Based on the test criteria, it can be said that H0 is rejected because the value of the t-count is greater than the value of the t-table (1.67). It can be concluded that there is a difference in learning motivation between the structured task experimental class and the independent task experimental class.Keywords: Independent assignments, learning motivation; structured assignments

Abstract

Laboratory course activities often focus on "cookbook style," so their activities have not yet integrated with scientific thinking as an essential aspect. In this research, the laboratory experience of microbial analysis techniques was redesigned using alternative inquiry to involve students in isolating and characterising yeast to make the bread rise. This research aimed to determine the effect of implementing inquiry-based laboratory experiences on improving students' technical skills and the structure and characteristics of laboratory courses. The method used a single case study to obtain a complete picture regarding implementing laboratory course redesign. Laboratory experience activities consisted of pre-laboratory (reinforcement of theory) and investigation (preparation of methods, laboratory investigation activities, data analysis and presentation, and writing written reports). Overall, our results suggest that inquiry-based laboratory experiences can improve students' microbial analysis technique skills in strong collaboration. In addition, students considered several benefits from this learning, such as developing designs and conducting laboratory investigations close to the original context. With these results, educators can use the redesign of this laboratory course without applying full "course-based undergraduate research experiences" to students.

Abstract

The biology material on the excretory system has a high level of learning difficulty, including the complexity of the material and the high level of abstraction, which can affect students' learning process and outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the internal and external sources causing learning difficulties by conducting research that aims to interpret: 1) the level of students' learning difficulties based on the cognitive level of the excretory system material, 2) the factors causing students' learning difficulties based on the cognitive level of the excretory system material. This research is a qualitative study using an ex post facto method conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Konawe Selatan. The subjects of this research are 56 Grade XI students who experience learning difficulties, and the biology teacher. The data collection techniques used are: 1) tests, which were analyzed descriptively statistically; 2) interviews, which were analyzed through four stages: collection, reduction, display, and conclusion, followed by testing the validity of the data through triangulation. The results of this research show that: 1) Students' learning difficulties viewed from the cognitive levels of each learning indicator on the excretory system material are generally categorized as slightly difficult with a percentage of 58.93%; 2) The factors causing students' learning difficulties are students' interest in learning, students' habits during the learning process, evaluation techniques, as well as family, school, and community environmental aspects.

Abstract

The rise of drug trafficking in Indonesia based on the results of BNN data processing still shows a high crime rate, which in the last 2023 reached 4,244,267 people exposed to drugs. Of course, drug crime is a problem that must be strictly prevented and supervised, because gen z is one of the targets of this crime. This is very necessary to be aware of, considering that gen z is the hope of the nation which will be able to advance, develop and educate the nation. The implementation and participation of the role of the community that is carried out optimally can be an effective step in trying to tackle drug abuse. Qualitative method is the method used by researchers. Through observation and literature study, it is possible to know factually about the level of understanding and behavior of the community with the holding of socialization supported by books and journals as research sources. This study aims to determine the role of the community against drug abuse in realizing a clean village from drugs.

Abstract

Online learning can contribute to increased academic procrastination, often linked to low self-efficacy and perceived task value. This study investigates academic procrastination, self-efficacy, and task values from a gender perspective using a cross-sectional approach with students in their 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th semesters. An independent t-test assessed differences between male and female students. Findings showed no significant differences in academic procrastination across genders in any semester; however, notable differences in self-efficacy and task value emerged only in the 5th semester. The lack of significant differences in procrastination is attributed to similarities in environmental, psychological, and social factors, alongside common challenges in time management and distractions. Male and female students demonstrated comparable self-efficacy due to shared academic settings, social support, and media influences, while similar task values stemmed from common interests and experiences. The differences in the 5th semester likely arise from increased academic demands and evolving social dynamics, including gender stereotypes. Future research should employ qualitative methods, such as interviews or focus groups, to gain deeper insights into student experiences. Longitudinal studies could also track changes in self-efficacy and task value over time for a more comprehensive understanding. Targeted interventions to enhance self-efficacy and task value could be particularly beneficial in semesters with significant differences, thereby addressing academic procrastination more effectively.
