Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of the Symposium Learning Method in enhancing critical disposition and critical thinking skills among high school students in the context of biology education. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research compares the outcomes of students instructed using the Symposium Learning Method with those taught through conventional methods. Pre-test and post-test assessments were conducted to evaluate students' critical disposition and critical thinking skills. The findings reveal a significant improvement in both critical disposition and critical thinking skills among students exposed to the Symposium Learning Method. This underscores the method's efficacy in promoting active participation, collaborative learning, and deeper engagement with course material. The study emphasizes the importance of innovative teaching approaches in nurturing critical thinking skills essential for addressing complex societal issues in biology education.

Abstract

This study examines student responses upon the implementation of Biochemistry Laboratory Manual which focused on science-economics. The manual was implemented on Biochemistry poracticum classes for 3 consecutive schedules. Students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning outcomes were recorded that implies their responses to the topic. Validated questions and questionnaires were used and were administered before the first and after the third round of practicum classes. Data analysis employed Student T-tests. It was revealed that the implementation of the Laboratory Manual moderately enhances biochemistry learning achievements (N-Gain) and the students responded positive and very positive toward the topic at 80% and 18% respectively.
