Abstract

Learning Space is imperative in content delivery in institutions of higher learning. However, despite its value and worth to instructional delivery, the awareness and integration to instruction in Nigeria University by the lecturers have not been significantly established. Therefore the objectives of this study were to examine the lecturers’ awareness of learning space and investigate the lecturers’ integration of learning space for instruction at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. The study was of a descriptive nature and cross-sectional survey. 120 lecturers was sampled in the faculty of education, University of Ilorin, Nigeria. Stratified sampling procedure, was used to grouped lecturers along gender. The self designed questionnaire was administered to 120 lecturers of 60 males and 60 females. Mean scores was utilised to answer research questions. Research hypotheses were tested with t-test statistical analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study were that lecturers had positive awareness and integration of learning space technology for instructions delivery at University of Ilorin Nigeria. The study further recommended that lecturers should be encouraged to have more knowledge of learning space for teaching and learning and they should be educated on how to use learning space for their various instructions.

Abstract

Understanding simple concepts (scientific concepts) was one of important understanding in aspects of cognitive development for early childhood. Children were trained to think actively and critically in order to understand they activities, namely by applying a constructivist approach or guided discovey learning. However in Azzahra Preschool Kindergarten has not applied a guided discovey learning. It considered to be a factor in children’s low understanding of science concepts. Therefore, this research aimed to improve the children's understanding of science concepts by applying guided discovery learning. This research used a classroom action research with two cycles. Subject of this research is all of children group B in Azzahra Preschool Kindergarten. And the results show that the guided discovery learning can improved children’s understanding of science concept. This is based on percentage score of children’s understanding of science concept which is increasing in each cycle. Other findings of this research showed that children were eager to learn, curiosity was increasing, and active to conduct experiments to discover various simple concepts. So, this research was recommended that apply the guided discovery learning model to develop various aspects of the child.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the responses of students in receiving distance learning. This type of research is quantitative descriptive. This trial phase of research was conducted at Baureno 1 High School, tested to class X MIA 1, MIA 5, IPS 3 and IPS 4. The type of data obtained is interview and questionnaire data. Interviews were conducted with teachers of Physics, Language, and Sports and questionnaires were given to students. Based result on the analysis and discussion that has been done shows that 76.8% students of MIPA dan 73.6% students of IPS have a positive response to distance learning, but students do not agree on some other situations such as direct contact with the teacher is needed in learning. Supported in the questionnaire statement number 8 which only got a score of 75 for MIPA and 57 for IPS. This value indicates the smallest score compared to the values ​​of other statements. Therefore, it can be concluded that to support distance learning more effectively requires the ability of teachers to use ICT so that innovative and interactive learning can be created, and this can be proven by the results of interviews. In addition, learning methods and teacher skills are needed to increase students' understanding of the material being studied.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to developing an innovative thematic module on basic physics course and improving students’ logical thinking ability especially in the subject of Basic Physics II. The assessment developed in this study is an inquiry-based assessment to determine the ability to think logically by the students in learning science theme "light and vision." The research’s results and discussions are a module on the theme of light and vision developed by the eligibility requirements in very decent achievement category. The results showed that 56.66% students are in the stage of formal thinking, capable of abstract thinking and can analyze the problem scientifically and then resolve the issue, to acquire knowledge based on logical reasoning. The implementation of an innovative thematic module can improve students’ logical thinking ability.

Abstract

In the current pandemic era, learning process must be counduct online, including for assessment. To support online assessments, it is necessary to use information technology. A good and valid application for online assessment offered in this study is Quizizz. The purpose of this study is todetermine student responseapplication of online exams using the quizizz.The research subjects were students of science education, Universitas Negeri Semarang. The exam is a midterm of astronomy course. The method of research carried out includesthe applied method, responding to quizizz in conductinglearning assessments of multimedia learning. Theresults showed that students were very responsive tothe application of the quiz during the midterms, thoughthe mean score was still low (43.08% with a standard deviation of 15.83%), but students accepted the resultsand try to fix it. For the questionnaire, student responses to the use of Quizizz tend to be positive with the results of 8 statements getting positive responses of more than 50% of the total students.The Quizizz presents the problem with easeby analyzing the results of the detailed answers to help teachersor lecturers in carrying out the assessment.

Abstract

Student worksheets are used as a learning resource that is concise and practical. The design of student worksheets that is concise and practical tends to be low in developing the stages of thinking processes. Physics learning that studies natural behavior always involves analytical thinking. The development of student worksheets based on analytical thinking design is the important goal in this study. Three stages are used to develop student worksheets with an analytical thinking design, that are differentiating, organizing, and attributing. Student worksheets design with the development of analytical thinking has been generated for momentum material. The differentiating stage includes identifying the quantity of moving object, defining the amount of momentum and estimating the velocity before and after the collision. The organizing stage includes the activities of analyzing and relating the momentum quantity to the collision phenomenon. While the attributing stage includes the activities of deducing the relation between momentum quantity and the collision phenomenon, also evaluating the law of conservation of linear momentum of a collision. The results of student worksheets validation obtained a percentage of 92.9%, so this learning resource is in a highly valid criteria. The design of student worksheets that develop analytical thinking skills can form the basis and support higher thinking skills.
