Abstract

Students' science competencies are challenged in science education. It is caused by the fact that science concepts are commonly presented abstractly and not contextually. This study aimed to systematically map the use of ethnoscience phenomena in science education and their contribution to enhancing students' science competencies. The method employed was a systematic literature review with a quantitative bibliometric approach, based on the PRISMA guidelines, utilizing published articles from Scopus, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and SINTA (2019 – 2024). Forty-four articles met the inclusion criteria. The study results show that the ethnoscience phenomenon in science education can be classified into four main themes, namely traditional food processing, ecology and local environment, traditional technology and tools, and material culture and chemical processes, which are consistently related to three aspects of PISA science competency: explaining scientific phenomena, designing and evaluating investigations, and interpreting scientific data and evidence. It can be concluded that ethnoscience is an effective contextual bridge between science concepts - students' cultural experiences, and offering a novelty as thematic mapping of ethnoscience phenomena and theoretical mechanisms for improving science competency, which serves as a basis in science learning development based local culture in the future.

Abstract

Science process skills (SPS) are essential competencies in chemistry learning that support development of scientific thinking and evidence-based problem solving. This study aimed to analyze differences in students' SPS based on gender in chemistry learning at a public senior high schools in Samarinda. The study used a retrospective comparative quantitative approach. The SPS data were collected by using documentation technique involving 65 SPS of eleventh grade students (31 males and 34 females) who programmed chemistry subject. SPS data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the Mann-Whitney U test (α = 0.05). The results showed that there was no significant difference in overall SPS between male and female students (p = 0.333) and in most indicators (p > 0.05), except for the observation indicator (p = 0.004), with female students having a slightly higher descriptive mean. These findings confirm that mastery of SPS is more influenced by the quality of the learning process than by gender factors, thus contributing empirically to the application of inclusive science learning oriented towards scientific activities.
