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

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the VLOG Environmental Exploration assignment method on students' biodiversity literacy. VLOG Environmental Exploration as a form of project assignment for students to learn to analyze the environment through independent video making. The research method used is True Experimental Design in the form of Posttest Only Control Design. The research subjects were students of IAIN Salatiga Tadris IPA in the odd semester of the 2020/2021 academic year. Data on students' biodiversity literacy abilities were obtained using tests, then analyzed by statistical difference test t-test. The results showed a significant difference in the biodiversity literacy abilities of students in the experimental class and the control class. These results indicate that VLOG Environmental Exploration can affect the increase in student biodiversity literacy. VLOG Environmental Exploration involves in-depth analysis of the condition of biodiversity in the environment in which students live. Students' cognitive abilities have an important role to play in analyzing environmental biodiversity.

Abstract

COVID-19 has forced educators, institutions, and their staff to switch from physical to remote education This study investigates the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the international education system, particularly in Afghanistan. Specifically, this paper explores how students in Afghanistan have been affected by the pandemic, and identifies and evaluates the challenges faced by the education system of Afghanistan due to the pandemic. Moreover, factors affecting the use of technology by students in Afghanistan are also analyzed. A quantitative research methodology was utilized by collecting responses from students through a questionnaire distributed online. All data collected were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. Results revealed that technology has not benefited students very much, and the effects of COVID-19 have been extreme on them. Furthermore, insufficient time to learn new technologies has proven to be challenging for students. Developing technology requirements for students during COVID-19 may be an important element of adaptability to the pandemic. Moreover, it was found that Afghanistan already had poor internet and technology infrastructure before the pandemic, which further deteriorated during COVID-19, leading students to experience increasing internet disconnection and costs and decreased communication with teachers. Effective strategies to deal with these problems are discussed.

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.
