Abstract

This study aimed to design and evaluate a local wisdom–based entrepreneurship course model to enhance the entrepreneurial competencies of pre-service science teachers. The research followed the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) instructional design framework and employed the Delphi and Fuzzy Delphi methods for expert validation involving ten specialists in science and entrepreneurship education. A true experimental design using a posttest-only control group was conducted with 62 participants enrolled in an entrepreneurship course at a university in Central Java, Indonesia. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, independent sample t-tests, and Cohen’s d to determine the effect size. The results demonstrated that the developed model achieved high validity across all instructional stages (DV > 0.7; d < 0.2). Empirical findings indicated that the experimental group exhibited significantly higher gains in entrepreneurial skills than the control group (p < 0.05), with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.54). The model effectively strengthened students’ risk-taking abilities, opportunity recognition, self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and innovative thinking. These findings underscore that integrating local wisdom into entrepreneurship education fosters contextualized learning experiences and promotes sustainable entrepreneurial behavior among future science educators. The proposed model provides a practical framework for higher education institutions to develop entrepreneurial competencies while preserving and utilizing local cultural values.Keywords: entrepreneurship education; local potential; pre-service science teachers; entrepreneurial skills; fuzzy

Abstract

Scientific argumentation plays a crucial role in fostering higher-order thinking and scientific literacy in science education. However, studies have shown that Indonesian students’ scientific argumentation skills remain low, while existing science textbooks generally reach only level 2 of argumentation quality. Consequently, these materials are not yet effective in facilitating the development of students’ argumentation competence. Furthermore, the topic of the Earth and the Solar System continues to generate misconceptions among students, highlighting the need for learning materials that integrate structured argumentation activities. This study, therefore, aims to develop science teaching materials based on scientific argumentation activities for the topic of the Earth and the Solar System. The research employed the Fuzzy Delphi Method, encompassing five key stages: (1) determining the model of scientific argumentation construction for developing argumentative texts, (2) defining learning indicators for material development, (3) designing teaching materials based on expert-validated indicators, (4) assessing the readability of the materials, and (5) validating the developed materials. The findings indicate that the resulting teaching materials are valid and appropriate for students’ cognitive levels. The materials were structured using a scientifically validated argumentation model and learning indicators categorized into cognitive levels of remembering, understanding, analyzing, and creating across five subtopics. Readability analysis using the Fry graph confirmed suitability for the target age group, while expert validation demonstrated high content and construct validity. These results suggest that the developed materials effectively support the integration of scientific argumentation in science learning, particularly on Earth and Solar System concepts.Keywords: scientific argumentation, teaching materials, earth and solar system, fuzzy delphi method.
