Abstract

Despite the most studies empirically reveal the advantages of teaching Socioscientific Issues (SSIs)  in catering the evolution of scientific knowledge and pedagogy in teaching science concepts better to meet the required competencies and students’ needs to develop appropriate skills and capabilities, the teaching of SSI-based is still obscure and new to the country due to science teachers find it difficult and unable to integrate in their classroom due  to lack of curricular resources, unfamiliarity, infrequent integration, and teaching trust issues which results to learning gap among students; inability to argument and less motivated to learning SSIs. A semi-detailed questionnaire was used to collect information such as teacher-student background knowledge on SSIs and SSI-based pedagogy,perception on the pedagogy and the need to develop SSI-based curricular resources. Interviews were done to selected teachers and students to highlight relevant and significant opinions. Furthermore, results revealed that science teachers and students are not acquainted with SSIs. Most teachers don’t know SSIs and don’t employ SSI-based lessons in their teaching resulting to zero experience among students to SSIs. Nevertheless, both teachers and student respondents asserted that the development of SSI-based curricular resources may  improve teaching and learning processes in science areas which may positively affect to students deeper understanding, science practices and argumentation.

Abstract

Mental model is an internal representation formed by individuals in explaining a concept. Previous research on mental models of bacteria concept has been carried out on university students, but has not been carried out on high school students. The purpose of this study was to analyze the mental model of high school students about bacteria using drawing-writing tests and concept map. This study uses a descriptive method with 30 students of class X in one high school in Bandung as respondents. Students' answers are then compared with the expert's mental model as the targeted mental model. Students' mental models through the drawing-writing test are categorized into five levels (levels 1-5), namely no pictures/writing, pictures/writings are wrong or irrelevant, pictures/writings are partially correct, pictures/writings have some errors, pictures/writings correct and complete. Students' mental models through concept maps are categorized into four levels (levels 1-4), namely emergent, transitional, close to extended, extended. The results showed that it was easier for students to represent the structure and reproduction of bacteria through pictures than writing. The students' mental models through drawing (D) and writing (W) were highest at levels D5 and W5 for the concept of bacteria structure and reproduction. The most dominant mental model level is D4/W2 for the concept of bacteria structure and reproduction. The lowest studentss’ mental model is D2/W2 for the concept of bacterial structure and D1/W1 for the concept of bacterial reproduction. Students' mental models through concept maps show that the highest level is level 3 (close to extended). The most dominant and lowest level of mental model is level 1 (emergent). The conclusion of this study shows that the mental model of students on bacteria was still not close to the mental model of experts.

Abstract

This study focuses on Earth Science Olympiad prepation through assistance activities and utilizing a standardized test known as The Earth Science Standards Test. The assistance activities consisted of ten sessions, including pre-test, face-to-face learning, and post-test. Quantitative methods with a pre-test and post-test design were applied. The study evaluated the increase in students' scores using the N-Gain. Additionally, students were asked to indicate their level of confidence or Certainty of Response Index (CRI). Results revealed that the average pre-test score was low (46.03), suggesting that students' prior knowledge of Earth science was limited. However, after participating in the assistance activities, students demonstrated improvement, as evidenced by the average post-test score (69.29) and a moderate N-Gain score (0.41). Individual student improvements were also classified as moderate, except for one student (E). The study further analyzed the correlation between students' answers and their levels of confidence using either the Pearson test or Spearman's rho. Overall, a significant and strong correlation was observed (r = 0.628, ρ = 0.000). However, only students B, D, and F showed a significant relationship between their post-test scores and CRI. This indicates that the level of student confidence does not guarantee high scores on the test, although this pattern holds true for several students. In conclusion, format of the test used in Olympiad preparation plays a crucial role in students' performance. Further research are recommended to extend the use of standardized tests to assess students' understanding in various science learning and better understand and address factors impacting students' performance and confidence in science learning and olympiad.

Abstract

Indonesia has an unique and interesting geographical position, which is characterized by a rich variety of flora and fauna. One of the wealth of biodiversity is rare protected flower plants (Endemic Flora) where hunting and illegal trade are some of the factors that cause biodiversity to be threatened. Due to the fact that the threat and extinction of biological resources is increasing, the status of a species' scarcity is determined. Banten is known for its diversity of animals, but because there is a lack of media to introduce endangered species in Banten, the existing endangered species are not known, so they are threatened with extinction. This study aims to describe the scientific attitude of students on the theme of Protected Flora and Fauna in Banten in Augmented Reality-Based Biodiversity Learning. This type of research is quasy-experimental research with nonequivalent control group design. The study population was all second semester students majoring in Science Education who took the Biodiversity course with a purposive sampling technique. The research was carried out in the even semester of 2022/2023. Data collection techniques used non-test techniques, namely scientific attitude observation sheets and scientific attitude questionnaires. The results showed that the scientific attitude of science teacher candidates based on discussion observation sheets obtained an average score of 86.88% in the good category, while the scientific attitude based on the questionnaire obtained an average score of 78.88% in the good category. The highest scientific attitude dimension possessed by students is the dimension of respect for data or facts, while the lowest scientific attitude possessed by students is the attitude of perseverance.
