Abstract

Coding and computational thinking are increasingly important in contemporary teacher education, yet their integration into science learning remains insufficiently understood as an adaptive pedagogical process. This study examined how preservice elementary school teachers experienced coding-based science learning, the challenges they encountered, and the strategies they developed in response. A qualitative descriptive design was used with 22 students enrolled in an Elementary School Teacher Education program. Data were generated from classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, documentation, and supplementary pretest-posttest records. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically, while the pretest-posttest records were used descriptively to contextualize patterns in participants’ learning. The findings were organized around three connected themes: evolving learning experiences, implementation challenges, and adaptive strategies. Posttest records showed higher positive-response counts for conceptual understanding, the science-coding relationship, algorithmic thinking, instructional integration, and motivation. Participants also described technical, cognitive, and pedagogical difficulties, particularly when constructing programming logic, using Scratch, and selecting science content for coding integration. In response, they adopted gradual learning, debugging, reflection, and instructional adjustment. These findings position coding-based science learning as a process of pedagogical adaptation that can support computational thinking, digital scientific literacy, and technology-integrated teaching competence among preservice elementary teachers.

Abstract

This training was aimed at fostering students’ creativity through a tie-dye batik workshop for fifth-grade students at SDN 1 Pasalakan. The program was implemented in three stages: (1) preparation, (2) implementation, and (3) evaluation. The preparation stage involved observing students’ creative activities at school, planning the training program, forming a committee, and drafting a budget plan. The observation showed that SDN 1 Pasalakan had never previously conducted batik training. The activity was organized by the Pre-service Teacher Professional Education (PPG) students, Cohort 2 of 2024, Universitas Muhammadiyah Cirebon. The training was successfully carried out and produced several tie-dye batik fabrics with various patterns that reflected students’ creativity. The recommendation for SDN 1 Pasalakan is to design follow-up programs to further develop students’ creativity, such as workshops on handicrafts made from plastic waste. Practical activities of this kind can engage students physically and mentally, thereby supporting creativity and nurturing love for national culture as reflected in the Pancasila Student Profile.

Abstract

Prior studies demonstrate that numerous pre-service teachers retain scientific misconceptions, and existing assessment instruments are inadequate for accurately distinguishing levels of comprehension. This research developed the Multitier Science Instrument (MScI), a reliable diagnostic tool for improving the evaluation of conceptual comprehension.  The research utilised the 4D model, which consists of four phases: defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. The study involved thirty-one pre-service elementary school teachers, with an average age of 19 years, at an Islamic university in Cirebon, Indonesia. CVR analysis and other statistical techniques evaluated the instrument's validity and reliability while analysing the distribution of misconceptions. The results demonstrate that the Multitier Science Instrument (MScI) possesses high validity, evidenced by a Content Validity Ratio of 0.966, surpassing the benchmark of 0.672, and robust reliability, as indicated by a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.827.  The responses from participants were divided into four groups: sound understanding, partial understanding, misconceptions, and no understanding. Fluid statics exhibited the highest degree of misconceptions among the evaluated subjects.  These findings underscore the pressing necessity for enhanced diagnostic instruments in education.  Conventional assessment techniques, such as multiple-choice examinations and essay prompts, inadequately reflect the genuine depth of pre-service elementary educators' conceptual comprehension
