Abstract

The purpose of this research was to identify student misconceptions in Geometrical Optics. Four-tier multiple choice diagnostic test can be used to identify student misconceptions. The data of this research were obtained by interview, questionnaire, and test. This research used random sampling to 107 X grade students who already got Geometrical Optics materials. The data of this research were analyzed and interpreted to distinguish students who understand the concept, not understand, and misconceptions. The result of the research showed that on each item of the test, there are some students who have misconceptions. Students had misconceptions in the low category with details of 31% of all test item, 53% in the medium category, and 16% in the high category.

Abstract

Science processing skills (SPS) is a psychomotor ability in 2013 curriculum. The implementation of SPS can be done well in the planning or in the learning process. This research aimed to analyze X grade students’ potentials of SPS in biology in senior high school “Y”, Ponorogo regency. This research used descriptive qualitative research. The data in this research were collected from non-test way using observation and documentation. The learning process was analyzed using the instrument of SPS evaluation in eight aspects 1) formulating the hypothesis, 2) planning experiment, 3) conducting the experiment, 4) doing observation, 5) interpreting data, 6) predicting, 7) implementing the concept, and 8) communicating. These aspects have four indicators. The analyzed learning process was in the material of Bryophyte and Pteridophytes. The analysis of data was in descriptive quantitative. The results of the analysis were aspect 3) was 35.29%, aspect 4) was 23.54%, aspect 5) was 11.76%, aspect 6) was 11.76%, and aspect 8) was 17.65%. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that X grade students’ science processing skills in Senior High School “Y” Ponorogo regency have not been optimally used and in the low category. It is suggested that there should be a planning and designing of practicum in the learning process.

Abstract

Mastery of science literacy is the main focus of education. A factor influencing low science literacy of Indonesian students is a misconception. Recently, research on diagnostic test development regarding misconception of science literacy is very limited. Actually, there should be a correction to the learning system. Initial observation of Science class in SMP Negeri 05 Semarang showed that students had difficulty in understanding the materials of light. The evaluation tool used by the teacher was not used to show the misconception of science literacy. In this case, this research was done to develop three-tier multiple-choice (3TMC) test with science literacy aspect to unveil students’ misconception of science literacy in the materials of characteristics of lights. The samples of this research were VIIIE and VIIIF using mix method with sequential explanatory strategy. The result showed that the instruments of 3TMC test with the aspect of science literacy produced 30 test items with 25 items which fulfill the criteria of valid, reliable, enough distraction level, and tolerable difficulty level. Meanwhile, the other 5 items did not fulfill the criteria. The result of interpretation showed that commonly, students had a misconception of science literacy terms of understanding (A), the competence of science investigation (B), science as the way of thinking (C), and the application of science to technology, society, and environment. The deep interview was done to 7 students who had the highest score of misconception of science literacy. They got the misconception to the indicators of characteristics of light, a process of vision, eye defects, and optical devices.

Abstract

This research was done in SMP 4 Kudus. This research aimed to unveil the influence of problem-based learning with SETS approach to students’ problem-solving skills and environmental awareness. This research was a quasi-experimental research with control group design. The sampling used purposive sampling technique. The samples of this research were VII A class (experiment class) and VII B class (control class). The data were collected by using tests, observation, and self-assessment. The analysis showed that problem-based learning with SETS influenced students problem-solving skills in 56.3%. Experiment class students’ problem-solving skills were better than the control class proved from the t-test analysis where tcount > ttable. Based on the analysis of man witney test, the average score of environmental awareness in control class and experiment class known as Zcount of 4.01 and Ztable of 1.96. The average percentage of students’ responses was 84.9% in a very good category. In conclusion, problem-based learning with SETS approach influences students’ problem-solving skills and their environmental awareness.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of students science activity based on Science Technology Society (STS) of student’s integrated science process skills (ISPS). This research used true experimental design with Pretest-Posttest control design. Samples were taken by using simple random sampling technique from the student population of class 7 SMP N 22 Semarang junior high school in academic year 2017/2018. The resulting class VII B as the experimental class and class VII A as control class. The data were collected by using documentation, test, and observation method. The Result of correlation test between students activity based on STS to student’s ISPS obtained from the observation result obtained correlation coefficient of 0,554. The correlation coefficient is categorized as moderate so it can be interpreted that the students' activity based on STS gives a moderate effect on the student's ISPS. The effect of the students' activity based on STS of the student’s ISPS calculated from r2 x 100% is 31%, r is the correlation coefficient which states the correlation between students activity based STS and student’s ISPS. The result of significance test of correlation coefficient value obtained tcount > ttable , it means that students activity based on STS give positive influence to student’s ISPS. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the students' activity based on STS influenced the student’s ISPS. The N-gain calculation to measure the increase in the experimental and control classes showed that the increase of experiment class was categorized as medium, the increase of the control class was categorized as low.
