Abstract

The opportunity to learn and achieve is the right of all Indonesian students. The National Science Olympiad (OSN) is a government event to improve student learning achievement, but OSN participation and preparation is still limited, especially for East Kalimantan students. This community service supports the preparation of 71 students from 10 cities in East Kalimantan in facing the Physics OSN through online training for one week via Zoom. Analysis of student understanding through Pre-test and Post-test, with binomial statistical tests, showed a significant increase in the post-test, indicating success in improving understanding of physics concepts. Several students from this program successfully advanced to the provincial OSN. To support inclusivity, facilities and teaching quality need to be improved.

Abstract

This study investigates first-year science pre-service teachers’ abilities and perspectives on PISA questions, addressing Indonesia's low PISA rankings and challenges in teacher preparation. A total of 153 first-year students from four programs at Mulawarman University (mathematics, biology, physics, and computer education) participated. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected through validated PISA test instruments, while qualitative insights were drawn from open-ended responses. The results showed no significant differences in PISA scores by gender or study program, but significant differences emerged when comparing first-year students to third-year students and professional teachers, with first-year students scoring lower. Qualitative findings revealed themes such as the cognitive challenges posed by PISA questions, their ability to foster critical thinking, unfamiliarity with the format, and their real-world relevance. Despite difficulties, many participants found the questions engaging and valuable for developing analytical skills. These findings highlight the need to incorporate PISA-style assessments in teacher education programs to enhance higher-order thinking and better prepare pre-service teachers for international standards in education.
