Abstract

This study aims to analyze the need for the development of learning books in the form of research and development (R&D) model books to deal with student misconceptions in final project writing. This study analyzes student needs so that practical actions can be found in the early stages of developing research books. The development of R&D books that is carried out is expected to be able to deal with student misconceptions. Errors in understanding R&D are often experienced by students in the mentoring process which emphasizes the end result rather than the development process. The proposed solution is to use misconseption analysis (MA). This type of research is research and development or R&D (research and development) which refers to the ADDIE model with data analysis techniques using descriptive statistics. This stage is the initial stage of ADDIE, namely analysis. Data were obtained from 11 student respondents from a university consisting of three men and eight women. Based on the data collected, the results of student assumptions in understanding development research are not in accordance with actual understanding. The assumption data for students’ understanding of R&D development is 18.18% very understanding, 27.27% understanding, 36.36% quite understanding, 18.18% do not understand. 0.00% don’t understand. Whereas in fact the understanding of students in R&D development is 0.00% very understanding, 9.09% understands, 27.27% understands quite well, 36.36% does not understand, and 27.27% does not understand. The majority of students in research using the R&D method experience misconceptions. The concept that they believed was correct, it turned out that after being studied there were several mistakes or misunderstandings. Students do not get the main source of input in the mentoring process. The misconception is also caused by the fact that in writing a thesis, students have not received references that are studied in depth about the development model.

Abstract

Students’ academic success is dependent on several affective factors. Critical among these factors is students’ attitude. Hence, the need to view attitude as an outcome rather than influence, becomes imperative. The Activity, Student-centered, Experiment, Improvisation-Plan, Do, See, Improve (ASEI-PDSI) approach is a pedagogical model for strengthening mathematics and science education in Nigeria and thought to promote positive attitudinal change towards learning. Hence, this study investigated the effects of ASEI-PDSI approach on Senior School students’ attitude towards Chemistry. The study was a quasi-experimental one, the sample comprised 139 SSI students from two randomly selected co-educational schools in Ilorin, Nigeria. The ASEI-Instructional Package (ASEI-IP) was the stimulus instrument while the Attitude Towards Chemistry Scale (ATCS) was the test instrument. The reliability of ATCS was found to be 0.68. The data gathered were analysed using Analysis of Covariance and t-test statistics. The finding revealed that ASEI-PDSI approach did not bring about any significant change in attitude towards chemistry. The study concluded that ASEI-PDSI approach might not promote students’ attitude towards chemistry all the time.

Abstract

Lubuk Larangan is an area in a river restricted by the community, which must not be disturbed and is forbidden for fishing. It is in Rantau Keloyang District, Muara Bungo Regency, Jambi Province. The local wisdom of Lubuk Larangan has the potential to bring contextual science learning to conserve the environment based on customary regulations for sustainable development. This study aims to determine the potential of Lubuk Larangan area as a source of science learning. Using descriptive exploratory method, the data were obtained from the interviews with Datuk Rio, a traditional leader and science teacher at SMP Negeri 1 Pelepat Ilir. Data collection techniques included observation, interview, and documentation. The findings indicate that several basic competencies are suitable for science education with the material about Lubuk Larangan, namely analyzing the occurrence of environmental pollution and its impact on the ecosystem (KD 3.8); Lubuk Larangan can be developed in learning media such as modules, assessments, and practical activities; Lubuk Larangan can be integrated into science learning to instill education for sustainable development competencies, especially for action on climate. Based on this study, in general, science learning can be linked to local wisdom of Lubuk Larangan according to learning indicators that refer to education for sustainable development.

Abstract

Distance learning is an alternative for implementing learning during the covid-19 pandemic. However, this system cannot be separated from problems, including the number of student complaints because of the tasks that must be done from each subject. This problem motivated us to carry out a qualitative research into the implementation of project-based learning that we have designed, using one integrated student worksheet for all subjects. This study aims to find a learning design that can minimize the burden and be able to contribute in developing students’ critical thinking by implementing education for sustainable development (ESD). The analysis was carried out using Transcript Based Lesson Analysis (TBLA). Based on the results of the analysis, it is proven that this learning is able to stimulate the active role of students in the learning process; building critical thinking skills of students in providing simple explanations by 17.39%, basic skills in observing and considering observations by 43.48%, stating hypotheses by 16.67% and deciding the action to be taken by 22.46%. From the results of the analysis of student conversation transcripts and questionnaires distributed to students, parents, and teachers, it can be concluded that this learning is able to reduce the accumulation of assignments, build students’ conceptual understanding, touch social, economic, and environmental aspects, build critical thinking skills and good character for students.

Abstract

Learners bring various misconceptions to class. The study explored learners’ misconception prevalence about heat and temperature among Grade nine Natural Sciences learners. A single case study design with 30 Grade nine learners from one secondary school in Magatle Circuit. The Heat and Temperature Concept Questionnaire (HTCQ) was used to elicit learners’ misconceptions. For each questionnaire item, percentage frequencies of incorrect, correct, and unanswered responses were calculated. The overall prevalence of misconceptions regarding heat and temperature among learners ranged from 40 to 93% (Mean 68.0% SD = 6.3), with the highest prevalence in thermal dynamic questions. The correct responses ranged from 0 to 57% (Mean = 25.1, SD = 7.1) where most learners scored between 20-30%, while unanswered questions ranged from 0 to 13% (Mean = 6.9, SD = 1.3). These results show a high prevalence of misconceptions. They could not explain how heat travels within molecules of different objects because of the lack of a link between every knowledge and school science. The findings of this study have several implications for classroom planning, teaching, and the designing of learning materials.

Abstract

Metacognition is one of the important indicators of 21st century skills as part of ways of thinking. Metacognition ability is used by students to see how cognitive activities such as remembering, learning, and problem solving can be carried out effectively. However, in fact not many assessment tools have been developed to measure metacognitive ability. On the other hand, Moodle has good potential to be used as a platform for creating test instruments. The purpose of this study was to test a diagnostic test-based science metacognition evaluation tool that had been developed with Moodle. The research method used is quantitative by testing the validity, reliability, discriminating power, and level of difficulty on the items of the evaluation tool. The results showed that the science metacognition evaluation tool that had been developed had the characteristics of being valid according to experts, good reliability of 0.73, having a proportional difficulty index; and has good discrimination index. Based on the test results, it was concluded that the science metacognition evaluation tool had good characteristics in all aspects tested so that it was feasible to use it to measure students’ science metacognition abilities.
