Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the challenges faced by junior high school students in comprehending Science educations (IPA) in Teminabuan District, South Sorong Regency amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. The present investigation employs a survey methodology utilizing a qualitative descriptive framework and case study analyses. The participants of this investigation were pupils enrolled in three junior high schools located in the Teminabuan District, specifically Teminabuan 1 Public Middle School, Teminabuan 2 Public Middle School, and Teminabuan Yapis Middle School. The methodology employed in this research involves the utilization of a questionnaire and documentation as the primary means of data collection. The process of data analysis involves the collection and examination of data obtained from questionnaires and documentation. The findings of the investigation into the proportion of participants' responses to a survey on the challenges encountered by students in comprehending science at the junior high school level, consisting of twenty queries responded to by ten student participants, indicated that the majority of the respondents experienced learning difficulties in the uppermost classification. This suggests that junior high school students encounter challenges in comprehending science subjects. The present study elucidates the challenges encountered by junior high school students in comprehending science education amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. The present study makes a valuable contribution to the advancement of pedagogical approaches that are better suited to addressing the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of science education.

Abstract

The purpose of this overview is to map the studies focused on the nature of science in the scientific Scopus journal. The nature of science (NOS) and its impact on pedagogical learning and science education have become central themes of education and research. The Study methodology used in this study is bibliometrics utilising VOS viewer. Specifically, research results analysis and coward analysis were carried out. The term NOS has ever been analyzed in the Scopus database. A total of 2756 papers were analyzed consisting of 2048 articles, 202 conference articles, 56 books, 263 book chapters, and 187 other papers were analyzed. The results report that studies in the field of education of NOS more increased and have continued uninterruptedly up to the present day, even though interest generated in the scientific community has been irregular. It can be concluded that NOS studies have not had an established and robust line of research over time, this study can be observed that the trends in this aspect are focused on science education.

Abstract

The study of incorporating computational thinking (CT) into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has gained interest. We carried out a semi-systematic review of 50 empirical papers on this topic. Our findings highlighted the following crucial points: (a) the majority of research utilized domain-general descriptions for CT, while a few studies suggested domain-specific terms that addressed STEM education; (b) problem-based instruction developed as the most common teaching approach, with popular contextual topics including game design, robotics, and computational modelling; (c) assessments of student learning in combined CT and STEM varied in objectives and formats, with approximately one-third evaluating both CT and STEM integration. Based on our findings, we make recommendations for future study and implementation, with an emphasis on defining and evaluating CT in STEM contexts, developing successful instructional strategies for incorporating CT into STEM, and investigating approaches to promote inclusiveness in integrated CT and STEM education.
