Abstract

This study develops and validates an assessment tool to measure middle school students' understanding of global warming. The instrument includes 21 multiple-choice questions covering key concepts like the greenhouse effect climate change and mitigation strategies. After expert validation and pilot testing with 63 students, the tool demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.71). The validation process revealed that while most items effectively assessed various aspects of conceptual mastery, some items failed to meet the validity criteria due to issues such as ambiguous phrasing, inappropriate cognitive difficulty for the target grade, and potential confusion in question structure. Despite these challenges, the instrument shows promise as a reliable tool for evaluating students"™ understanding of global warming concepts. This research highlights the importance of ongoing revisions to enhance item clarity, adjust difficulty levels, and ensure alignment with students"™ cognitive development. The tool offers educators a valuable resource for assessing and improving students' understanding of global warming, ultimately fostering greater awareness and readiness to address climate challenges.

Abstract

In the current era of globalisation and rapid technological advancement, the importance of science education cannot be overstated. However, traditional methods of teaching sciences frequently suffer from problems like poor student performance and poorly understood concepts. This study explores the combination of two innovative learning methods: Window Shopping and Auditory Intellectual Repetition (AIR). The AIR method encourages auditory and intellectual learning through questioning, while the Window Shopping method promotes interactive and exploratory learning. Through a comprehensive approach, this study examines the potential benefits and effectiveness of integrating this method into science education. All of them indicate that using AIR and Window Shopping can create a dynamic and multifaceted learning environment that increases student engagement, comprehension, and retention of academic concepts. It has been proven that an integrated approach promotes teamwork, deeper understanding of scientific subjects, and active engagement, all of which lead to better learning results.
