Abstract

This study is aimed to identify misconceptions about fructus that occur in biology teacher candidates. To achieve this goal, this study used a descriptive research method with a survey method to describe a condition of misconceptions of prospective biology teacher students based on the CRI technique. This research was carried out at the fkip of lancang kuning university in the 2020/2021 academic year. The population in the study were biology education students who contracted the plant morphology course with the research sample selected by saturated sampling or total sampling, amounting to 35 people. The data collection technique is by giving a fructus concept ability test in the form of multiple choice equipped with a cri scale with a total of 15 question numbers. Data analysis techniques were used using the cri (certainty of response index) technique and the levels of conception and constructive misconceptions were presented descriptively. The findings of the study were obtained from 525 conceptions that there were three categories of conceptions that occurred among prospective biology teacher students about fructus, namely understanding the concept of fructus 27.75% and not understanding the concept of fructus 37.35% and misconceptions 34.90%. Biology teacher candidate students were found to have misconceptions with moderate levels of misconceptions. The concept of misconception occurs in students about fructus, namely the concept of true fruit groups and pseudo fruit groups in fruits. It is hoped that the findings of misconceptions in prospective teachers can become the basis for parties to develop appropriate models or media to reduce the level of misconceptions.Keywords: misconceptions, fructus, CRI

Abstract

Government policies, including curriculum development, significantly impact education quality. Indonesia's frequent curriculum changes contrast with Türkiye's 2017 curriculum overhaul. Türkiye outperforms Indonesia in science literacy based on PISA 2018 results. The Merdeka Belajar policy aims to enhance Indonesia's global competitiveness, particularly in STEM education. Curriculum approaches differ, with Türkiye emphasizing practical learning and early physics concepts, while Indonesia relies more on rote memorization. Frequent curriculum changes in Indonesia stem from political and regional factors. This study highlights disparities in PISA scores and curriculum structures, underscoring areas for Indonesia's improvement. Adapting to international standards while considering local contexts is crucial for enhanced science literacy. The research employs a case study methodology, utilizing curriculum documents, interviews, and research articles for analysis, providing insights and recommendations for both countries. Research results indicate that Türkiye's structured curriculum and emphasis on practical learning contribute to its higher science literacy scores compared to Indonesia. In conclusion, this study underscores the need for Indonesia to align its curriculum policies with international standards, while also focusing on fostering critical thinking and practical learning approaches to enhance science literacy outcomes and remain globally competitive in education.Keywords: Curriculum Development; Education Policies; Science Literacy; Comparative Study

Abstract

Although many previous studies are published to be some evidence of the effectiveness of inductive learning models, an experimental comparison of two inductive learning models of teaching scientific literacy remains unavailable. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to investigate 46 secondary students' scientific literacy through a comparison of problem-based learning and project-based learning that is assisted by using a predict-observe-explain strategy on thematic learning. A quasi-experimental method with alternative treatment (pretest and posttest) with nonequivalent groups design was used to assign students into the experimental and the comparison groups, respectively 25 students who had the POE-assisted project-based learning and 21 students who had the problem-based learning. The normalized change and an analysis of covariance with students' pretest scores as covariates were adopted for data analysis. The results revealed that the average normalized change score of both groups was 69±7 and 39±8, respectively high category for the experimental group and medium category for the comparison group. There were significant differences between both groups' improvement (F=8.356;  p<0,006; and Cohens' ES d = 0,83). Thus, the implementation of POE-assisted project-based learning could further improve secondary students' scientific literacy than problem-based learning on thematic learning.Keywords: inductive model, POE strategy, scientific literacy

Abstract

This study aims to explore how the implementation of Science Learning Local Context (SeLoC) with an entrepreneurial orientation can support the development of lifelong learning (LLL) skills in junior high school students. The study used a descriptive method with a mixed methods approach. This study involved 10 schools in Kupang as well as 20 science teachers and 200 students/ Instruments used included questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and observations. Data were collected through interviews with teachers and students, observations of the implementation of SeLoC in class, and questionnaires to measure student and teacher perceptions. Qualitative data analysis was carried out thematically to identify patterns of student engagement and entrepreneurship integration, while quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of interviews with teachers showed that SeLoC integration was viewed positively because it was able to improve practical skills and student engagement in science learning. However, the implementation of SeLoC is still limited to extracurricular projects. From the results of student interviews, they felt more interested in science learning that was relevant to everyday life. Observations revealed that SeLoC had not been fully integrated into the formal curriculum. The results of the questionnaire showed the majority of respondents (50%) agreed that SeLoC encourages innovation in learning, 45% agreed that science results can be used for new products, and 50% agreed that SeLoC develops an entrepreneurial and ethical mindset. In lifelong learning skills, 45% of respondents agreed that science learning supports learning continuity and increases adaptation and motivation, and 40% agreed that it supports independent learning. This study recommends further development of the SeLoC curriculum and specific training for teachers.Keywords:science learning, local context, entrepreneurship, life-long learning

Data collection techniques included interviews, student questionnaires, validation sheets, and user response questionnaires. Two methods were used in small-scale trials: one-on-one tests and user response assessments. The one-on-one test involved three students with high, medium, and low abilities. The user response assessment involved three teachers and 30 students from SMAN 4 Pekanbaru, SMAN 8 Pekanbaru, and SMAN 15 Pekanbaru. The difference in the effect of using the worksheet on improving critical thinking skills and learning interest was analyzed using the t-test. To determine whether there was an increase in critical thinking skills, as indicated by improved student grades, the N-Gain formula was applied. The results showed that the developed worksheet obtained average percentages of 92% from material experts and 98% from media experts, indicating valid criteria. The one-on-one test provided students' comments on necessary improvements to the worksheet components. User responses from teachers and students resulted in 93.1% and 93.7% respectively, indicating that good criteria were achieved. The paired t-test on learning interest data showed a significance value of 0.000 (sig < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in students' learning interest before and after using the worksheet. Similarly, the critical thinking skills data showed a significance value of 0.000 (sig < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in students' critical thinking skills before and after using the worksheet. Based on the posttest results of the experimental and control classes, it was found that the student worksheets improved students' critical thinking skills to a medium level, with an N-Gain value of 53.93. In contrast, the control class showed a low improvement, with an N-Gain value of 30.00.Keywords: worksheet, Socio-Scientific Issues, interest in learning, critical thinking skills, buffer solution
