Abstract

Communication skills require students to be able to manage, understand, develop, and create orally and in writing. Teaching methods that generally use conventional models of learning activities that are not formed in groups cause students' science communication skills to be lacking, so learning activities are more teacher-centered. This learning causes students' science communication skills to be challenging to develop, especially toward understanding or science literacy. The development of this science interactive teaching case study aims to develop communication skills towards science literacy of grade VIII junior high school students. The type of research used is the mixed method. This research involved the subjects of Science 1 and Science 2 teachers in class VIII and students from 2 classes with 32 students taught by the two teachers. Data analysis was conducted through transcript coding using N-Vivo assistance and statistical analysis from SPSS statistics and Minitab. The study's results show that from the three indicators described, there are significant differences in interactive teaching carried out by Science Teacher 1 and Science Teacher 2. This is due to the different perspectives held by the two teachers in the communication skills approach used. Science Teacher 1 emphasizes exploration activities more, while science teacher 2 focuses more on discussion activities.

Abstract

The research on the ability to think in systems in education is also minimal, which is why the ability to think in systems in Indonesia has not been optimally trained. Dealing with a system's complexity can be challenging at any age, particularly for students who must apply the system's cognitive capabilities during the learning process. Systems thinking is a key to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) competency since it can help learners understand the complexity and dynamics of the world. This research investigates the impact of system thinking on Junior High School students through simple science projects addressing environmental pollution. The study involved 7th-grade students in a private school in Bandung, utilizing a quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test and post-test design; the research aimed to measure the improvement in students' system thinking competency using test items and analyzed the data with SPSS software and Rasch Stacking and Racking. Results from the Wilcoxon test indicated a significant difference after completing learning activities, with a 50% improvement based on Rasch analysis. This underscored the critical role of project-based learning in enhancing system thinking competency. Applying appropriate learning models is expected to enhance students' system thinking competency. The recommendation for future reference to other studies, such as directing the scientific investigation in detail. Design more precisely from the initial stage to the final stage so that the expected learning can be achieved, and students can go through all stages of STEM learning correctly to create a better prototype.

Abstract

Multiple representations are widely recognized for their significant role in concept learning. This study aimed to investigate the multiple representation translation skills of high school students at different grade levels about the concept of one-dimensional motion. 239 9th, 10th, and 11th-grade students participated in the study using a developmental research model. The data collection tool consisted of questions that required translating figures, tables, graphs, verbal explanations, and algebraic representations into other representation types in a multiple-representation translation test focusing on one-dimensional motion. Data analysis involved evaluating the translation among representations for each category and analyzing the multiple representation translation skills across different grade levels using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results revealed that students successfully translated from figure, table, and graphical representations to other forms while encountering challenges in translation from verbal and algebraic representations. Furthermore, the ANOVA results indicated a significant difference between the 9th and 11th grades, favoring the 11th grade.

Abstract

This study aims to help students learn cytoplasmic flow movement by using Egeria densa as a model. The study was conducted with six prospective science teachers studying at Bayburt University's Faculty of Education Science Teaching Undergraduate Program. As a data collection tool, a form containing questions to obtain prospective science teachers' knowledge of the concept of living things and the common characteristics of living things was used. The content analysis method was used to analyze the data. As a result of the findings, it was determined that although the prospective science teachers had sufficient knowledge about the vitality feature, they could not explain the movement, which has the vitality feature in detail. In addition, it was determined that the prospective science teachers could explain the cellular movement, which they had difficulty understanding at the micro level, by using Egeria densa as a model. Therefore, it can be said that using Egeria densa as a model for prospective science teachers to make sense of movement at a micro level is helpful.
