Abstract

Physics is a science that is often considered difficult by students and causes low physics learning achievement. One of the causes of low learning achievement is internal factors that arise from within the students, so a strategy with a self-regulated approach is needed such as the Self-Regulated Approach to Strategic Learning (SRSL) APICPEM (Analyse, Plan, Implement, Comprehend, Problem-Solve, Evaluate, Modify) so that students can carry out learning according to their needs and characteristics. This study aims to determine the application of Self-Regulated Approach to Strategic Learning (SRSL) APICPEM on students’ learning achievement in sound wave material. This research was conducted at a high school in Bandung with a sample of 72 students. The research method used is a mixed method with an unbalanced mixed design (concurrent embedded design). Quantitative data were collected through nonequivalent (posttest only) control group design using the posttest instrument for learning achievement in sound waves. Then qualitative data as a support was collected through narrative qualitative using a SRSL APICPEM mixed questionnaire instrument. The results showed that the implementation of APICPEM SRSL in the experimental group went very good (average score is 80%), with the selection of various student learning strategies according to the characteristics and various other factors, both internal and external factors of students. As well as there is a significant influence from the implementation of SRSL APICPEM on learning achievement with the effectiveness of its influence is evident from the effect size test, which resulted in a value of 0.622, classified as very high. Therefore, this study was able to prove that the application of SRSL APICPEM was able to improve student learning achievement in the topic of sound waves.Keywords: self-regulated, self-regulated approach to strategic learning, learning achievement, sound waves

Abstract

The study examined the effect of concept mapping instructional strategy on senior secondary school students’ scoring levels in biology in Kwara State. A quasi-experimental research design of pretest, posttest, and control group was used. The target population was 852 Secondary School Students (SSS II) from two selected public senior secondary schools in Ilorin, Kwara State. The sample consisted of 80 Senior Secondary School II Biology students purposively selected from two Public Secondary Schools in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. The adapted Biology Concept Map Instructional Strategy for Teaching Cell Division (BCMISTCD) and Scores from the Biology Performance Test (BPT) were used for data collection. The instruments were duly validated by experts. The reliability of the Biology Performance Test (BPT) instrument was .83. Frequency count, percentage, mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions (1-2). Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and T-test were used to test the null hypotheses 1-2 at 0.05 level of significance. Results show that there is a significant difference in the scoring levels of Biology students when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach Cell Division (p.<0.05). The study also indicates that there is a significant difference in the male and female students scoring levels when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach Cell Division (p.<0.05). Based on the results, the study concludes that there is a significant difference in the post-test and post-posttest scoring levels of the students when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach them. The study also concludes that male students’ scoring level is higher than that of female students when concept mapping instructional strategy is used to teach Cell Division. The study recommends that Biology teachers should teach female students who have low-scoring levels in Biology by using concept concept-mapping instructional strategy. This would further improve the female students’ scoring levels in the Cell Division. The study recommends that Biology teachers should focus more on female students when concept mapping is used to teach Cell Division.  Keywords: concept mapping, scoring levels, cell division, biology students, gender
