Abstract

Misconceptions are a learning problem that not only impacts student acceptance in the form of delays in receiving new knowledge, but also causes misinformation in society, especially in the publication media.This study aims to identify students' misconceptions by using a three-tier diagnostic test on biogeochemical cycle topics. The first step in identifying misconceptions is to develop an identification instrument using the Treagust development method in several stages, starting from identifying the material, analyzing common misconceptions, and compiling questions at each tier. The results of the development of the instrument show that the three tier diagnostic test instrument has a content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) validity of 1 and a reliability of 0.90 for answer choices and 0.86 for reason choices. The valid and reliable instruments were tested on 210 students in 6 accredited schools A, B, and C in South Sumatra, Indonesia. The results showed that on biogeochemical cycle topics, there were two sub-topics categorized as experiencing high misconceptions, fifteen in the moderate category, and eight in the low category. Misconceptions occur in the sub-topics in a cycles of water, carbon and oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. The results of the analysis also showed that the highest misconception of 64% was in the reduction and oxidation sub-topic of the sulfur cycle. These findings can be used as input for educators in South Sumatra and Indonesia in general in teaching biogeochemical cycle material to avoid similar misconceptions in the future

Abstract

Critical thinking is a vital skill for success in higher education and the workforce. However, it is often inadequately emphasized in high school curricula, resulting in students lacking proficiency. Guided discovery-based modules provide a promising approach to enhancing critical thinking by fostering independent exploration and concept discovery. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a developed module in improving thermodynamics-related critical thinking skills among 10th-grade students in Boyolali Regency, Indonesia. Five schools were randomly selected, with two classes from each forming control and experimental groups. The experimental group utilized the developed module, while the control group used traditional textbooks. Validated by experts, a test was administered to evaluate students' critical thinking skills, and statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The developed module demonstrated superior efficacy in enhancing critical thinking skills compared to traditional textbooks. Variations in mean scores among the schools suggest the need for further investigation across diverse educational contexts. The study's outcomes have implications for teaching and learning in Indonesia and other countries where critical thinking is insufficiently emphasized in high school curricula. Ethical considerations were upheld, ensuring participant rights and confidentiality. Future research can explore the module's effectiveness in improving critical thinking across different subjects and educational settings

Abstract

In order to teach future generations, preservice science teachers must possess critical thinking skills. However, relatively few studies have examined these skills at the tertiary level, particularly in elementary school science teacher education departments. This study sought to determine the effect of collaborative group investigation (CGI) learning and self-efficacy on the critical thinking skills of students. With a non-equivalent control group design and a 2 x 2 ANOVA inferential statistical test, a quasi-experimental design was implemented. The subjects of this study were forty science teacher candidates who took the Environmental course at a university in Indonesia. A self-efficacy questionnaire and a test of critical thinking skills constituted the research instruments. The results indicated that the collaborative group investigation group received an average score of 62.2, whereas the direct learning group received an average score of 48.8, with an Fcalculated of 87.626 and a significance value of 0.000. The data analysis revealed substantial differences between the collaborative group inquiry group and the direct learning group in terms of critical thinking skills.  The interplay between learning strategies and self-efficacy affects the critical thinking skills of pupils because collaborative learning practices can engage students actively through teamwork, idea exchange, decision making, and shared responsibilities

Abstract

Critical thinking skills (CTS) are essential in the 4.0 era. However, the attempts to enhance these skills during learning are still suboptimal, particularly in science education at the junior high school. Gender is believed as one affecting factor on students critical thinking. The research investigated the effects of problem based learning (PBL) student worksheets on students critical thinking from the perspective of gender differences. This quasy experimental research applied pretest-posttest nonequivalent multiple group design. The samples were chosen through purposive sampling, resulting in one male class having 24 students and one female class having 24 students. The research instruments included a lesson plan, a PBL-based student worksheet, and pretest-posttest questions that had been validated. Data analysis uses statistical tests in the form of paired and independent sample t-tests, and N-gain. The analysis indicated that using PBL-based student worksheets increases CTS more effectively in female students than in male students. These are proven by paired and independent sample t-tests showing a significant difference (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.000 0.050) with N-gain signifies a moderate increase of 0.6 for male students and a high increase of 0.7 for female students. These findings may serve as recommendations to enhance students critical thinking and as a reference for gender-segregated schools in designing learning programs that optimize the role of each gender

Abstract

Chemical misconceptions occur in almost all topics. Identification of chemical misconceptions has been carried out on students, students and even teachers. Chemical concepts are interrelated, so misconceptions at the primary level have the potential to cause misconceptions in the next concept. This study aims to identify misconceptions held by prospective chemistry teachers practicing basic teaching skills and overcome them through cognitive conflict strategies. This research is a naturalistic case study with an interpretive paradigm framework. Research is carried out naturally (natural setting) following the ongoing lecture program. The research was conducted during the even semester of the 2021/2022 academic year with 32 meetings for two classes. The research participants comprised 25 students (2 classes) taking microteaching courses. As the main instrument, the researcher is a microteaching subject with more than ten years of teaching experience. Data were collected using observation and interview methods with a cognitive conflict strategy framework. The results showed many misconceptions, including ionic bonds, ionization, and the formula for determining the pH of a buffer solution. Four prospective chemistry teachers experienced this misconception when practicing basic teaching skills. The correction results showed that 3 out of 4 students managed to correct the misconceptions that had been experienced before. One misconception is resistants. Based on the study results, it is recommended that a teacher or instructor pay attention to the misconceptions that occur and immediately overcome them as soon as possible.
