Abstract

This research and development (R&D) aimed to develop a narrated video of monkey’s daily behavior Macaca fascicularis for conservation education. This R&D were conducted by the following steps as identification of potentials and problems of creating the video, data collection, video design, validation by media and content experts, revisions, and the limited field-testing of final products. To collect data some research instruments were developed such as validation sheets, feasibility test, and attitude scales. The data were analysed descriptively and quantitatively. The results showed that scores of validation video were classified as’valid’ (94, 23% and 87,5%). Video media was also rated ‘feasible’ (95,24%) by the local forest tourism manager. Level of children conservation awareness is ‘high’ (88, 42%). In sum, the videos are valid, feasible, and effective in instilling conservation awareness as well ready for use in promoting children’s awreness of long-tail monkey Macaca fascicularis protection.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate an instrument for assessing secondary pre-service physics teachers’ TPACK in technology – supported classroom environments. In order to achieve the purpose, a total of 116 items with a 6–point Likert type scale in 7 domains with 18 items in Content Knowledge (CK), 32 items in Pedagogy Knowledge (PK), 14 items in Technological Knowledge (TK), 20 items in Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), 9 items in Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), 10 items in Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), and 13 items in Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) were developed for the instrument. Theoretical framework of survey development process and results from a pilot study on 1005 pre-service and in-service science teachers would be discussed. The construct validity of this instrument was examined through confirmatory factor analysis using principal axis factor (PFA), and multiple PFA method are applied after selecting items without sharing of factor loading to ensure there is no ambiguous of items respective to the formed factors. In terms of those applied, the result shows after the modification and/or deletion of 66 of the survey items, the 50 items-survey is a reliable and valid instrument that will help educators design longitudinal studies to assess physics preservice teachers’ development of TPACK.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to develop the science of winning track games that can accommodate communication skills. This research is development research using Borg, Gall and Gall research model which quoted from Sugiyono (2013), that there are ten steps in the implementation of research and development strategy. The study sample was purposive, they were students of SMP Negeri 3 Semarang. In a small-scale trial, 16 students were drawn from class VIII, and large-scale trials were conducted in class VII E. Data collection methods used were interviews, questionnaires, observation. The final data analysis includes media and material feasibility analysis, readability analysis of teachers and learners, and communication skills analysis. The conclusion are (1) Science winning track games is a media successfully developed and declared feasible (2) Science winning track games media is effective to identify communication skill of student. It proof by increasing the average score of the students from 66.67% in the first meeting to 100% in the third meeting.

Abstract

This study aimed (1) to calculate the percentage of students who understand concepts, having misconceptions, and don’t understand concepts, (2) to identify students’ misconceptions of acid and base concept, and (3) to test the effectiveness of PDEODE (Predict-Discuss-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain) instruction strategy in correcting students’ misconceptions of acid and base concept. This research uses descriptive and pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 37 students of 11th grade IPA 4 MAN 1 Kudus. The misconceptions are identified using modified CRI (Certainty of Response Index) techniques and explored through semistructured interviews to get deep informations. The effectiveness of PDEODE instruction strategy was determined from the analysis of paired samples t-test. The results of this study are: (1) the level of students’ misconception of acid and base concept changed significantly after was repaired by PDEODE instruction strategy and (2) there were 45 kinds of students’ misconceptions of the subconcepts: characteristics of acids and bases, acid and base theories, strength of acid and base, neutralization reaction, and pH of solution

Abstract

This research employs Ex Facto approach to analyse the relation between prospective teachers’ critical thinking tendency (CTT) and their critical thinking skills (CTS) towards their learning outcome. The subject of this research the fifth semester students of Chemistry Education, Faculty of Teaching, Universitas Mataram academic year of 2017/2018. The research focuses on the teaching of Chemical Physics III subject to 40 people who are chosen under purposive sampling method. The variable of attribute is the use of project-based learning and CTT while the dependent variable is the CTS and students’ learning outcome. The data of CTT were obtained through questionnaires focusing on the matter while the students’ CTS and learning outcome were measured using essay tests. The analysis of the data utilizes Pearson correlation test. The result of the test showed significant relevance between CTT and CTS (rcount ; 0.341 > rtable ;0.312). Meanwhile, the total of CTT and learning outcome do not show significant coexistence (rcount ; 0.096 < rtable ;0.312), even though the indicator of open-mindedness displayed a significant coherence to learning outcome (rcount ; 0.449 > rtable ;0.312). Based on the result, to sum up, there is a significant relation between critical thinking tendency and critical thinking skills.
