Abstract

The concept of disease is taught at all levels of schooling in Indonesia, but in non-consecutive core concepts. Such a disjointed approach may affect students’ understanding. Learning progression (LP) is one alternative to sequencing core ideas. This study aims to test the conceptual understanding of disease of 7th and 8th graders, and to check the validity of the LP instrument. The sample (N=296) was selected based on a selected cluster from four middle high schools in Surakarta, Indonesia. The ex post facto design with two unmodified variables, gender and grade, was applied to measure the conceptual understanding of the students. To test this, an Ordered Multiple Choice (OMC) test was conducted. Validity was measured using the Rasch model, and the students’ conceptual understanding was categorised based on four levels of LP. The findings were that the instrument was valid and reliable, but lacked effectiveness in relation to difficulty level and distinguishing power. 38.75% of the students were at level 3, which is the suitable level for both grades, 27.86% were at level 4, and fewer than 20% were at levels 1 and 2. There were no differences in grade and gender.  It can be concluded that the number of students with an adequate level of understanding of disease is relatively low. It is therefore recommended that the disease curriculum, as one of the life science topics, is redesigned.

Abstract

Penelitian dan pengembangan Inquiry Manual Taching Book (IMTB) pada materi ekosistem dilakukan untuk membantu guru merancang dan menerapkan pembelajaran berbasis inkuiri dalam memberdayakan kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik. Penelitian yang didesain merupakan Research and Development (RD) yang mengacu model Borg dan Gall (1983). Responden dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari empat guru Biologi SMA dan 109 peserta didik SMA kelas X dari dua SMA di Kota Surakarta dan dua SMA di Sragen. Pengumpulan data penelitian menggunakan angket, tes, lembar observasi, lembar validasi, lembar penilaian RPP, lembar keterlaksanaan sintaks LoI, dan tes kemampuan berpikir kritis. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis data deskriptif dalam bentuk persentase, nilai gain, uji t berpasangan, dan uji anacova. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) Rata-rata pemahaman, pelaksanaan, dan kesulitan guru biologi tentang pembelajaran berbasis inkuiri guru biologi sebesar 68,12% tergolong kategori cukup. Rata-rata hasil kemampuan guru mengurutkan sintaks inkuiri sebesar 27,58% tergolong sangat kurang. Rata-rata kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik sebesar 49,25% tergolong sangat kurang; (2) karakteristik IMTB, yaitu berbasis model LoI, sebagai sumber bahan ajar bagi guru, berorientasi pada tujuan untuk memberdayakan kemampuan berpikir kritis, memiliki prinsip less is more, mudah dipahami dan sistematis, membantu guru dalam merencanakan dan menerapkan LoI, dan berorientasi pada aktivitas peserta didik; (3) para ahli menyimpulkan bahwa IMTB layak berdasarkan komponen materi dan pembelajaran, instrumen evaluasi, tata bahasa, dan kegrafikan. Praktisi pendidikan menyimpulkan bahwa IMTB layak dengan predikat bagus; (4) ketercapaian pembuatan RPP bagi guru biologi pada mata materi ekosistem berdasarkan IMTB sebesar 89,92% dan tergolong kategori sangat baik; (5) ada perbedaan signifikan nilai kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik antara pretes dan postes. Terdapat peningkatan jumlah peserta didik pada kelompok kemampuan berpikir kritis sedang dan tinggi. Peningkatan setiap aspek kemampuan berpiki kritis dengan N-gain sebesar 0,5 berkategori sedang; (6) ada pengaruh profil guru dalam mengajar dengan menggunakan IMTB terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik. Kata kunci: Inquiry Manual Teaching Book, Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis, Biologi.

Abstract

Misconceptions are discrepancies between students' understanding of concepts and concepts defined by experts. Misconceptions are indicated as latent dangers in the learning process. One of the topics in science that has a high level of misconception among students is the concept of work and energy. The SSCS model is an approach put forward as an effective way to train students' conceptual understanding. This research aims to determine whether the misconceptions about the work and energy of grade 7 students will be reduced by applying the SSCS model (Search, Solve, Create, and Share) as a remediation approach. The experimental design was applied using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample comprised 32 students (15 boys and 17 girls). Profiling of students' misconceptions before and after the action was measured using 14 two-level multiple-choice questions. There are four types of misconceptions based on initial measurements. The results show an average pretest score of 44.07 and an average posttest of 63.60. It can be concluded that the SSCS model significantly reduces student misconceptions. Further research on the types of errors present in mapping student profiles is recommended.

Abstract

Board games are one of the supporting tools for understanding complex material and abstract scientific concepts This study aims to develop a board game with cell membrane transport material and test the board game response by experts. This study is research and development. This board game was developed for class XI science students using learning progression. The research design used was adopted by Arnel A. Gutierrez's research. The steps used in this study include the preparation stage, game development, and response testing by experts. Test responses are carried out by distributing questionnaires to validators /experts using Google Form. The questionnaire assesses the content, instructions, appearance, and design of the media. Analysis of the validity of the instrument with five options using a Likert scale, given four choices between ranges of disagreeing, disagree, agree, and strongly agree. The results of data analysis using a ranking scale Rasch model may indicate that the validity of the score of the selected respondents indicated that the average value of observations shows a significant difference starting from logit -0.32 for selection score of 1 (disagree), and 0.96 for the selection quite agree, 2.58 for the agreeable choice and 5.69 for the strongly agree choice. Between these options, there is an increase in logit, which indicates that the scale on the questionnaire used is good. The Andrich Threshold average value starts from the value of none, negative -3.54 to positive 4.17 indicating that the answer option from the respondent is valid, which means the board game can be used.
