Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the influence of the Science Technology Society (STS) approach on improving students’ science process skills in science learning. The focus is to evaluate the impact of STS in improving skills such as observation, classification, interpretation, and communication of scientific findings. Methodology: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. This study involved quantitative data analysis using t-test and N-Gain Score. Participants were students from selected junior high schools. The tools used included pretest and posttest instruments, along with an observation checklist. Main Findings: The study found a significant increase in science process skills in the experimental group using the STS approach. The experimental group had a higher mean posttest score (18.00) compared to the control group (17.00). The N-Gain score for the experimental group (0.53) was also significantly higher than the control group (0.25). Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces the systematic application of the STS approach to improve students’ science process skills. It offers new insights into how STS integration can create more engaging, relevant, and effective learning experiences. It contributes to the ongoing development of innovative context-based science education strategies.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to develop a valid, reliable, and culturally relevant evaluation instrument for assessing the pedagogical competencies of teacher candidates in the Professional Teacher Education Program (PPG) at the elementary school level, based on the Condition of Learning theory. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative approach with validation by six experts and field testing involving 100 teacher candidates. Data analysis included Cronbach's Alpha for reliability measurement. The instrument design adhered to Condition of Learning principles, integrating cultural relevance and pedagogical evaluation. Main Findings: Validation scores ranged from 4.3 to 5.0 across aspects, with a reliability score of 0.72 (Cronbach's Alpha). Evaluation results showed mean scores of 85.05 for cognitive, 80.07 for affective, and 81.14 for psychomotor competencies, indicating strong preparedness among teacher candidates. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study integrates Condition of Learning principles with cultural elements, creating a comprehensive evaluation instrument that reflects Indonesia's educational context. It provides a significant tool for improving pedagogical assessments and aligns evaluation with local values and national education standards. This research has an impact on the creation of more effective and relevant evaluation instruments, so that it can improve the quality of professional education of elementary school teachers through the application of learning conditions theory.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to determine the comparison and influence of problem-based learning integrated with scaffolding on students' conceptual understanding, curiosity and communicative character. Methodology: The type of research used in this research is quantitative with an experimental type with a posttest only control group design. The population in this study were all chemistry education students for the 2021/2022 academic year consisting of 4 classes. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling so that the samples were class A, class B and class C, each consisting of 21 students. The data collection instrument used was a test instrument to determine students' understanding of concepts after carrying out the learning process using the method used, a curiosity character questionnaire and a communicative character questionnaire. Main Findings: The results of this research are that there are differences and influences of the application of the integrated scaffolding problem-based learning model on students' conceptual understanding, curious character and communicative character. Novelty/Originality of this study: Through this exploration, research reveals that the comparison between the use of Problem Based Learning and Scaffolding methods in the context of understanding chemical concepts not only strengthens academic competence, but also forms the character of students who are passionate about knowledge and communicate effectively.
