International Journal of Ethnoscience and Technology in Education
ISSN : -     EISSN : 30466946     DOI : https://doi.org/10.33394/ijete
Core Subject : Education,
The International Journal of Ethnoscience and Technology in Education (IJETE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the exploration and integration of ethnoscience and technology in educational contexts. Ethnoscience, the study of how different cultures understand and interact with the natural world, offers invaluable insights into cultural practices, knowledge systems, and worldviews. When combined with technology, these insights can enhance educational methodologies, content, and tools, fostering a more inclusive, culturally aware, and effective learning environment. IJETE aims to bridge the gap between traditional knowledge systems and modern educational technologies, promoting the development of educational practices that are both culturally sensitive and technologically advanced.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of integrating ethnoscience with problem-based learning (PBL) on the enhancement of critical thinking skills among secondary school students. Employing a nonequivalent control group design with purposive sampling, the research involved 66 students from a Nigerian secondary school, divided into experimental (n=31) and control (n=35) groups. The experimental group engaged in a PBL curriculum enriched with ethnoscience, while the control group received traditional expository teaching. The study aimed to bridge the gap in current educational practices by incorporating cultural relevance into science education, thus making learning more meaningful and directly applicable to students' lives. Results indicated a significant improvement in the critical thinking abilities of the experimental group, as evidenced by their pretest and posttest scores, compared to the control group. The findings underscore the effectiveness of the ethnoscience-integrated PBL approach in fostering higher-order thinking skills, suggesting a notable advancement over conventional teaching methods. This research contributes to the educational literature by demonstrating the benefits of combining ethnoscience and PBL, advocating for a shift towards more dynamic, student-centered, and culturally relevant teaching strategies. The study highlights the importance of contextual learning experiences and suggests further exploration across various disciplines and educational levels to validate the approach's effectiveness and applicability.

Abstract

This study investigated students' design thinking in creating 3D creative works using mobile technology in the framework of local wisdom. By employing a mixed-methods approach, the study compares the design thinking abilities of students who engaged with mobile technology in the context of local wisdom with those who donot. Quantitative analysis, involving sixty students, revealed that the experimental group, exposed to mobile technology and local wisdom, demonstrated significantly higher competencies in design thinking, particularly in areas such as comfort with uncertainty, human-centeredness, and collaborative work. Qualitative insights further illuminated the enriched learning experience, showcasing students' deepened engagement and connection to cultural heritage through the integration of local wisdom into their 3D creative projects. The findings underscore the pivotal role of mobile technology and local wisdom in fostering innovative design thinking, suggesting that this approach not only facilitates creative problem-solving but also instills a sense of cultural identity and pride among students. Despite its focused educational context and limited sample size, the study suggested broader implications for curriculum development, recommending the incorporation of these elements into design and creative courses to enhance students’ design skills and cultural understanding.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) into science education as a means to foster sustainable development among high school students. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, involving semi-structured interviews with 20 participants in Morocco, the research explores the impact of IK on enhancing students' understanding of local ecosystems, promoting interest in interdisciplinary studies, and contributing to cognitive and personal growth towards sustainable thinking. Findings indicate that incorporating IK into science curricula significantly enriches students' learning experiences by bridging the gap between traditional wisdom and scientific inquiry, thus making science education more relevant and engaging. This approach not only deepens students' appreciation for cultural diversity and environmental stewardship but also encourages a more holistic understanding of science and its application to global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity conservation. The study highlights the educational value of integrating IK in developing thinking and problem-solving skills, and a sense of global citizenship among students. It advocates for educational reforms that include IK as a vital component of science learning, suggesting that such integration can play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development goals by preparing students to engage thoughtfully with complex environmental and societal issues. This research contributes to the discourse on enhancing science education through the inclusion of diverse knowledge systems, offering insights into how such pedagogical innovations can support more sustainable and inclusive futures.

Abstract

In the context of global educational challenges, scientific literacy remains a foundational goal yet is often hindered by traditional teaching methods that lack cultural and contextual relevance. This study addresses the intersection of local wisdom with science education as a strategy to enhance students' scientific literacy, grounded in the belief that culturally resonant teaching can improve learning outcomes. This study explores the impact of integrating local wisdom into science education on enhancing students' scientific literacy. Employing an experimental pretest-posttest control group design, the research involved 86 Indonesian high school students, divided evenly between a control group receiving traditional science instruction and an experimental group whose curriculum was enriched with local wisdom content. Over a six-week period focused on climate change, the experimental group's instruction intertwined indigenous knowledge with scientific concepts, aiming to create a culturally contextualized learning experience. The results, derived from quantitative measures were analyzed using ANOVA and post hoc tests. Findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in the scientific literacy of the experimental group compared to the control group, with the former demonstrating a substantial increase in posttest scores. The study confirms that local wisdom can be a potent tool in science education, leading to higher engagement and improved scientific literacy. This research contributes to the field by providing empirical evidence supporting culturally responsive teaching approaches and underscores the potential of local wisdom in bridging the gap between traditional knowledge systems and scientific methodologies.
