Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the comparative effectiveness of the use of concept map and mind map graphic organizers on students’ learning outcomes in organic chemistry. This research adopted a quasi-experimental design involving a 3X2 pre-test post-test non-randomized and non-equivalent control group design. The study is premised on the dual coding theory of cognition, and involved 183 respondents whom were purposively selected from three intact classes. Data for the study was gathered through an organic chemistry achievement test whose reliability was determined through a test retest method and a reliability index of 0.74 was obtained. Data was analyzed using t-test and Analysis of Covariance. Findings show that there was a significant difference between the achievement of students taught organic chemistry using concept map graphic organizers and those taught with the mind map graphic organizer (F(1,118)= 7.04, p<.05). Using t-test statistics, findings also indicated that there was no significant difference in the achievement of male and female students when exposed to either concept map (t(75)= .47, p = .63) or mind map graphic organizer (t(42)= .64, p = .52). Hence, it was concluded that mind map is a more effective tool for learning organic chemistry when compared to the concept map. Irrespective of students’ gender, either of concept map or a mind map can help improve students’ achievement in organic chemistry.

Abstract

The most crucial role of creative thinking skills for students is encouraged by way of thinking to prove the truth of an assessment formulation. Teachers need to know students’ creative thinking skill profile and fulfill each indicator level to generate focused ideal learning to improve creative thinking skills. This research was conducted to explore junior high school students’ creative thinking skill profile in science learning about alternative energy. This research is a quantitative descriptive essay test method. Respondents are 110 7th-grade junior high school students in Jember, East Java, Indonesia. The results showed that the creative thinking skills of junior high school students is low (44,98%). Students’ creative thinking skill still need to be developed. Some students find it challenging to design a unique creative work on alternative energy. We suggest that creative thinking skills need to improve by developing learning methods, models, strategies, approaches, media, context, and interaction in the discussion process.

Abstract

The ideal science classroom prepares students to enhance not only mastery knowledge but also skills. Certain skills can be developed during the process of learning science. One of the skills that expected to be possessed is Science Process Skills (SPS). SPS can be gain by applying Predict-Discuss-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain (PDEODE). Therefore, the intent of this study was analyzing students’ science process skills after the implementation of PDEODE. Measurements of SPS were obtained by collecting data from three domains of learning. SPS of students ranges from good to excellent level. About 18,29% students got excellent marks of SPS while most of them (81,71%) successfully reached good level. To put in a nutshell, PDEODE learning assisted students to attain all indicators of SPS.

Abstract

Teaching science for preschool children is essential in setting the foundation for science literacy and in kindling young children’s interest in learning science. Hence the goal for designing a culturally relevant science curriculum is a gigantic challenge to all preschool teachers. This study proposed a community-based science curriculum for local preschools in northern Philippines. It supports the idea that nature should be utilized in nurturing the interest of young children in learning science. Qualitative method was used in gathering data from parents, teachers, and community leaders. Community resources that could be utilized for learning scince were identified, the legal framework for preschool education was analyzed, and the current national curriculum standards for kindergarten was analyzed to design and develop a science-based curriculum for young children. The result, which is a proposed curriculum, integrates cultural scripts, indigenous knowledge and practices, learners’ interests and needs, and community resources in the selection of curriculum contents and learning experiences. The proposed community-based science curriculum could be a model for developing a culturally relevant and responsive education for indigenous people.

Abstract

Tradition is a custom that is carried out from generation to generation from ancestors. One of the traditions that until now maintained by the people of Java is the tradition of Nyadran. The Nyadran tradition carried out by most Javanese people has become an important part of life for the Javanese people as well as for the people in Sruwen Hamlet, Semarang Regency. This study aims to examine the viewpoint of Nyadran tradition that exists in the people of Sruwen Hamlet, Semarang Regency based on ethnoscience and the relationship of Nyadran tradition with environmental ethics. This study was designed in the form of descriptive-qualitative research. Data collection techniques used are observation techniques, interview techniques, and documentation techniques. The results of the study in the form of data interviews with three speakers in the hamlet Sruwen. Instruments. the questions presented consisted of nine questions that explore information related to the implementation of Nyadran and Nyadran’s relationship with protecting the environment. Based on research that has been done, it can be concluded that Nyadran tradition can be used as a medium of ethnoscience-based learning in science learning and there is a relationship between Nyadran tradition and environmental ethics.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to explore pre-service science teachers’ views and experiences on the use of technology in teaching and learning of electric concepts. . The study sample consisted of six pre-service science teachers enrolled in Physical Science level 1 at a university of technology in South Africa, who aspire to be Physical Science teachers, and whose curriculum consist of electricity. The study adopted a case study research design embedded within the qualitative research approach. Data for the study was collected voluntarily from participants in alignment with the convenience sampling technique. The results of the study indicate the need for educators to have technology integration strategies because some schools lack equipment needed to conduct experiments. Moreover, pre-service science teachers recommend the use of technology integration because it is cheaper, safer, and more convenient
