Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of contextual phenomena-based learning to increase scientific literacy in three Basic Physics materials.. Method: This research method is descriptive and quantitative with the type of Pre-Experimental research. The subjects of this study were 27 students of Physics Education class A at Surabaya State University class of 2022. Result: The results of the data analysis showed that learning based on contextual phenomena to increase scientific literacy was an excellent category to apply. This is shown by implementing learning on the three materials with suitable criteria. Student activities for each material are in very good criteria. Moreover, the average N-gain value obtained through the Pre-test and Post test scores on the third material is in the high category. As well as the results of the average student response to the learning that is applied is also in the high category and gets a positive response from students. From the four results of data analysis, it can be interpreted that learning based on contextual phenomena effectively increases scientific literacy. Novelty: The application of contextual phenomena-based learning in the materials on Works and Energy, Momentum, and Fluids at the college level to improve scientific literacy

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to produce a science learning tool validity using the guided inquiry model to improve the creative thinking skills of 8th-grade students. This research is descriptive and quantitative. Method: The research method is developed with Four-D (4D) stages. This research will validate the learning tool consisting of a syllabus, lesson plans, student worksheets, teaching materials, and student creative thinking ability test sheets. Moreover, the object of this study is the learning device's validity level. The data analysis technique was qualitative and descriptive based on assessing the three validators. Results: The results of the three validators concluded that the syllabus has an average score of 3.55 with valid criteria, and the lesson plan with an average score of 3.70. with valid criteria. Student worksheets have an average score of 3.49 with good standards, student teaching materials have an average score of 3.49 with very proper measures, and student teaching materials have an average score of 3.67 with valid criteria. The student's creative thinking ability test sheet has an average score of 3.64 with a correct category. Thus, the learning tools developed can be used in the learning process to improve students' creative thinking skills. Novelty: The use of guided inquiry learning tools is an effective tool in the learning process to improve students' creative thinking skills with the hope that this learning experience will be applied in dealing with various problems in everyday life.
