Abstract

The goals of the study were as follows: i) to design an active science learning activity on stoichiometry for grade 10 students, ii) to evaluate the academic achievement of grade 10 students after receiving an active science learning activity on stoichiometry, and iii) to investigate the perspectives of grade 10 students regarding an active science learning activity on stoichiometry. The research utilized a sample group consisting of 41 students who were enrolled in the tenth grade during the second semester of the academic year 2022. The research tools provided participants with active science learning lessons. A test of the kids’ academic prowess as well as their thoughts on the use of hands-on scientific learning activities will be administered. The mean, the standard deviation, and a one-sample t-test were the types of statistics that were utilized in the investigation. The following is an outline of what the research found: i) the appropriateness of the active science learning activities was judged to be the highest level, ii) the academic achievement of grade 10 students after receiving the active science learning activities on stoichiometry had an average score that was higher than the criteria of 70% with a statistical significance at the .05 level; and iii) the opinions of students on the implementation of active science learning activities on stoichiometry were in the agree level.

Abstract

Currently, plug-and-unplugged activities for learning statistics are needed to determine students' mindsets when solving statistical problems manually, using calculations without programming as an unplugged activity and for data analysis as a plug activity. This research analyzes computational thinking self-efficacy in pre-service biology teachers by implementing plug-and-unplugged activities in statistics learning. The research method used is a case study with a computational thinking self-efficacy questionnaire instrument. The sample used was 107 pre-service biology teachers at a university in Indonesia who received plug-and-unplugged activities in statistics learning for one semester. The programs used in plug activities are the R and SPSS applications. The research results show that 43% of pre-service biology teachers' computational thinking self-efficacy is in the good category, 26% is in the moderate category, 16% is in the very good category, 10% is in the low category, and the rest are very low. Meanwhile, if we look at each component of self-efficacy, computational thinking, decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking are each in the moderate category. This indicates that plug-and-unplugged activities can initiate computational thinking skills in pre-service biology teachers. It is necessary to routinely provide activities or learning activities that can improve the computational thinking of pre-service biology teachers because of the need in this digital era

Abstract

World is now rapidly changed by human activities that effect to environment and all of us. Process and product of science and technology transformed our knowledge and way of life to modern society. Local knowledge and scientific knowledge are related to means of co-learning space. Science education should play its importance roles and goals to use science and technology for sustainable development. The aim of this study was to compare Thai and Indonesian novice science teacher students in science attitude on environmental conservation based on local wisdom of Baduy’s society. The subjects were 95 of Thai and 71 of Indonesian novice science teacher students. They were asked indigenous knowledge for preserving natural resources and community practices. Attitude on environmental conservation is explored and explained through the scientific literacy test.  The results showed that mean score of Thai novice science teacher students had better than Indonesian movice science teacher students and significantly differences at .05 level of statistics. Need future studies which concern to improve science attitude and scientific literacy in the teacher education program.

Abstract

Mentorship programs have emerged as a vital support system for new teachers’ professional development. This study developed and evaluated a structured mentoring process to enhance instructional skills among novice teachers. Using mixed-methods research, the researchers examined 97 teachers from 15 disciplines who participated in a local teacher development project in Thailand. The mentoring process incorporated four key components: professional learning teams, collaborative teaching design, mentored practice, and reflective exchange. Quantitative results showed significant improvement in teachers’ instructional capabilities, with overall assessment scores increasing. Qualitative findings revealed that mentorship enhanced abilities in student analysis, lesson planning, and teaching implementation. The study demonstrates that systematic mentorship effectively develops new teachers’ pedagogical competencies while fostering professional growth through collaborative learning.

Abstract

This research focuses on the development of an external quality assessment (EQA) utilization model for enhancing the internal quality assurance system within child development centers. The research employed research and development (R&D) methods along with parallel mixed methods, the study unfolds in three distinct phases. Phase 1 involves a comprehensive survey of current conditions, problems, needs, participation, and the utilization of EQA in developing the internal quality assurance system of child development centers. Phase 2 constitutes a multiple-case study, employing in-depth interviews for data collection. Phase 3 integrates findings from phases 1 and 2 to synthesize a model for utilizing test results. Finally, the study involves the trial and evaluation of practice guidelines employing EQA utilization to improve the internal quality assurance system. The findings indicate that the current conditions of quality assurance operations in child development centers under local administrative organizations are mostly complete but exhibit problems at a low level across all standards. Organizational commitment, participation in internal quality assurance operations, adaptation from external assessment results, and attitude towards quality assurance are crucial contributors. In conclusion, the EQA utilization model for improving the internal quality assurance system of the child development center as a practical and effective tool for enhancing quality assurance processes.
