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

This study contributes to the understanding of how digital information literacy (DIL) supports e-learning implementation in under-resourced higher education contexts. This study used a quatitative approach and ex post facto research. Data analysis in this study used descriptive methods (quantitative). The subjects of this study were 56 lecturers and 300 students of Biology Education programs from various universities in West Nusa Tenggara. Data were collected using questionnaires (sig. 0.00-0.04 and Cronbach Alpha=0.743) and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the level of implementation of DIL in universities in NTB has been moderately high, through three process: planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning. The majority of lecturers in NTB (82%) have a high level of DIL, with significant advantages in the aspects of understanding the purpose and meaning of information and the ability to evaluate information. On the other hand, students also have a fairly high level of DIL (68%), but the rest are still at moderate and low levels. Strengthening DIL, especially for students, still needs better attention, through optimal support from lecturers and universities. By improving overall digital information literacy, universities in NTB can be more prepared and effective in facing the challenges of digitalization of education in the Society 5.0 era.
