Abstract

The teaching of science communication skills at the high school level can be effectively accomplished through lessons that are oriented not only towards the development of cognitive skills, but also towards the acquisition of hands-on communication skills. The present study employs an experimental research design to investigate the impact of NHT-type cooperative learning on students' science communication skills. This study employs an experimental design comprising an class and a control class. The study population comprised students at X MIPA UPT SMAN 2 The X MIPA 3 class was designated as the experimental class, while the X MIPA 7 class served as the control class. Sampling was conducted using a randomised system. The data employed in this study were derived from two sources: primary data collected via the science communication skills rubric and secondary data obtained through observation of student and teacher activities. The data collection instrument was a science communication skills observation sheet that had previously been tested for validity and reability. The data were analysed using the Friedman test, which revealed significant differences in students' science communication skills between the control and experimental classes at each meeting (p < 0.05). Similarly, the Wilcoxon test demonstrated a significant difference between the control and experimental classes at each meeting (p < 0.05). The findings of this study suggest that further research should be conducted at a larger scale to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the rubric of science communication skills.

Abstract

Integrating local cultural elements into education represents a strategic approach to preserving cultural heritage while increasing student engagement in understanding science, technology, engineering, art, and maths (STEAM) concepts. This research employed a qualitative case study approach, conducted in schools in Pangkep Regency. Data were collected through interviews with educators and cultural experts, participatory observations, and document analysis, while the findings were examined using thematic analysis. The objectives of this study are threefold: firstly, to identify local traditional games that can be integrated into STEAM learning; secondly, to analyze their impact on students' cognitive and social skills; and thirdly, to propose effective implementation strategies. The study's results demonstrated that traditional games such as Gandrang Bulo, Magasing-gassing, and Enggo-enggo possess considerable educational potential, enhancing science literacy and motor skills and fostering cultural identity and cooperative learning. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the challenges posed by limited educational resources and teacher readiness, which must be surmounted for the successful implementation of this approach. The study proposes the formulation of a structured curriculum that integrates these cultural elements, to enrich STEAM learning and foster a more profound appreciation of local cultural heritage among students.
