Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to develop electronic student worksheets (E-LKPD) based on the Argument Driven Inquiry (ADI) Model to enhance the scientific argumentation skills of high school students. The impetus for innovative educational tools is intensified by ongoing industrial and social revolutions, necessitating advanced human resource capabilities. Methodology: Research and development, the study encompasses the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects were 29 Class XI IPA students. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests to assess the effectiveness of the E-LKPD in improving students' argumentation skills. Main findings: Validation results from material and media experts indicated that the E-LKPD is highly feasible. Furthermore, responses from science teachers and student trials in one-on-one, small, and large group settings rated the E-LKPD in the "very good" category. A notable finding was the significant improvement in students' argumentation skills when using the E-LKPD, as evidenced by the paired sample t-tests. Novelty/Originality of this study: The originality of this study lies in its application of the ADI model to E-LKPD, tailored to meet the demands of the industrial and social revolutions by fostering an entrepreneurial mindset in students. This research underscores the critical need for educational innovation, particularly in integrating entrepreneurship-based learning videos in junior high schools. By instilling an entrepreneurial spirit, students are better equipped to navigate and compete in the contemporary landscape, making this study a pivotal contribution to educational practices and resource development.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to determine the significant differences in students' awareness of appearance between those admitted to universities during the COVID-19 pandemic and those admitted when the pandemic was deemed controlled in Japan. Methodology: The author hypothesized notable variations in the change of self-consciousness regarding appearance, particularly facial appearance, contingent upon the year of admission. To test this hypothesis, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 428 students in Japan attending universities as of Fiscal Year 2023 to gauge their facial self-consciousness. Main Findings: The initial analysis focused on changes in body image and facial self-consciousness. However, due to the predominant focus on facial aspects, a chi-squared test was allowed to determine the relationship between the year of admission and changes in facial self-consciousness. The results indicated a significant difference between the admission year and changes in facial self-consciousness, with the largest difference between 2020 and 2023. Novelty/Originality of this study: The author used Cross-tabulation and Chi-Square analyses to compare previous years with 2023. The findings showed significant differences in facial self-consciousness depending on the admission year, with a p-value of less than 0.05. The results indicated statistically significant differences in facial self-consciousness among students admitted in 2020. (p < .05, =.005, =.014, ­­ =.016).

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to determine whether the use of practical work can enhance General Science students’ science process skills acquisition and academic performance students in biology at Juaben Senior High School in Ghana. The study sought to answer two research questions and test one hypothesis at a 0.05 significance level. Methodology: The study used action research, and the sample consisted of 45 students, selected through convenience sampling. The study used various instruments, including pre- and post-tests, weekly intervention exercises, and scoring rubrics, to collect data. The analysis of the gathered data employed descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test to reveal and solidify the findings of the study. Main Findings: According to the study’s results, the use of practical work resulted in a steady increase in students’ acquisition of science process skills in each cycle, and all students were able to demonstrate some degree of required science process skills at the post-test level in contrast to the pre-test level. Furthermore, the pre- and post-test outcomes of a paired sample t-test analysis with a 95% confidence level showed a significant improvement in the academic performance of the students, attributed to practical work. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research update confirms the need for practical work in biology education and shows that incorporating it into biology lessons enhances students’ acquisition and development of science process skills, which in turn enhances their academic performance.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to investigate the comparative effects of generative learning strategy (GLS) and 5E strategy (5E-IS) on the academic achievement of pre-service teachers in integrated science. This study addressed two research questions and test one hypothesis at .05 level of significance. Methodology: The research employed a non-equivalent pre- and post-tests design followed by semi-structured interviews. A sample of 157 pre-service teachers were selected from two intact programmes of study. The main data collection instruments were pre- and post-tests, and interview schedule. Data was analysed using mean scores, adjusted means, percentages and with Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Interview results were analysed using narratives. Main Findings: There was relative improvement in pre-service teachers’ performance taught with GLS and 5E-IS. Moreover, pre-service teachers instructed using generative learning strategies demonstrated superior performance compared to those in 5E strategy group (effect size = 0.32, p = 0.000, < 0.05). The interview data reveals that both generative and 5E strategies were perceived as beneficial and adaptable approaches that enhance understanding, retention, knowledge transfer across various contexts, and ultimately motivating learners throughout the learning process. Novelty/Originality of this study: The effectiveness of GLS and 5E-IS hold significant implications for curriculum design, instructional practices, and teacher preparation programmes. Understanding pedagogical approach which yields superior learning outcomes, enhances retention of scientific concepts, and teacher efficacy is key. Insights from this study may contribute to the on-going discourse surrounding best practices in science education, fostering continuous improvement and innovation in instructional methodologies.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Many learners experience difficulties in generating questions that lead to research questions. This study aimed to present perspectives on questions that inquire into the logic within each type of logical reasoning, propose a new question classification method based on these perspectives, verify its objectivity, and examine participants' logicality. Methodology: This study deductively developed perspectives and classification methods for questions based on the logical reasoning theory. To verify the question-classification method and examine participants' logicality, 1,164 Self-described questions from 24 graduate-level students were collected. These questions were classified by two raters using qualitative research software, followed by a statistical analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the analysis. Main Findings: Based on the analysis of the question data, the degree of agreement on question classification between the two raters was high. Notably, there was exceptional concordance in categorizing questions asking about deductive reasoning, hypothetical reasoning, and specific questions. Additionally, the analysis of question characteristics revealed a predominant presence of questions asking about inductive reasoning and ambiguous questions. In contrast, there were fewer questions asking about deductive reasoning, hypothetical reasoning, and specific questions. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research adds a logical perspective to traditional question frameworks and develops objective question classification methods. It provides a framework to support the formation of questions that lead to research questions and a method to objectively assess the quality of learning question formation techniques, with significant implications for educational practices. This study is limited by few raters, few specific questions.
