Abstract

STEM literacy, the goal of STEM education, has shown potential for enhancement through outdoor activities in informal learning environments. However, the use of these activities in formal school settings to promote students’ STEM literacy remains unexplored. This research examined the STEM literacy of students participating in formal school settings through outdoor STEM activities across various contexts: elective subjects, extracurricular activities, and student clubs. The participants in this pre-experimental study included 29 students in elective subjects, 37 students in extracurricular activities, and 48 students in student clubs. The research instrument was a STEM literacy test comprising six open-ended questions to assess six components of STEM literacy: STEM concepts, STEM integration, STEM practice, STEM participation, STEM evaluation, and STEM awareness. Data were collected from students in each group before and after engaging in outdoor STEM activities using the STEM literacy test. Means (M) and standard deviations (SD) were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that students participating in student clubs had a higher mean STEM literacy score after learning (M=15.37, SD=3.71) compared to students in elective courses (M=14.62, SD=3.34) and extracurricular activities (M=10.30, SD=3.46). These results suggest that student clubs are the most effective method for promoting students’ STEM literacy. The researchers also provide recommendations for enhancing students’ STEM literacy through student clubs.

Abstract

In the educational paradigm, it is crucial to consider how education can address the significant environmental and biodiversity changes causing exponential degradation, particularly during the pandemic. This study analyzed junior high school science teachers’ perceptions of integrating environmental education (EE) into the curriculum through online distance learning. This research method used survey and case study designs involving thirty-two science teachers from eight schools in Cavite, Philippines. Quantitative data analysis revealed that science teachers incorporated EE during the pandemic. Additionally, qualitative data analysis identified several themes related to science teachers’ perceptions: 1) impressions and understanding of EE, 2) benefits of integrating EE into science, and 3) balancing the values and drawbacks. In conclusion, most science teachers agreed with statements regarding their strategies for integrating EE into the science curriculum. Critical issues regarding science teachers’ attitudes toward EE integration were identified through interviews and focus groups. This demonstrates how educational technology, mainly when used with remote learning, may facilitate and improve the integration of EE into science instruction. This study offers workable answers for converting these concepts into ecological activities and successful methods for incorporating EE into junior high school science curricula.

Abstract

The 21st century highlights the need for students to develop relevant abilities, such as collaboration and communication skills. Communication skills are critical for students to interact and express thoughts or ideas when solving problems. By communicating efficiently, students collaborate more easily, creating cooperation, responsibility, and concern within the group. This research aims to improve students’ communication and collaboration skills in science learning by implementing the time-token cooperative learning model. This research is a quasi-experiment with a single-group pretest-posttest design. The following is the information obtained in this research: 1) Time-token cooperative learning has an effect in improving students’ collaboration and communication skills; 2) Time-token cooperative learning has an effect in improving collaboration and communication skills for male and female students; 3) Male and female students’ collaboration skills increased after implementing the time-token model. There is an increase in communication skills in female students but not in male students, even though male students’ initial and final skills are higher than female students. Therefore, it is concluded that the time-token cooperative learning model increases students’ communication and collaboration skills.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the use of SSI to promote prospective biology teachers’ scientific literacy and research skill development. This research uses quantitative methods with a true-experiment design. The treatments were Guided Inquiry (GI) and Research-based Learning (RbL) in two biology classes. This study involved 39 sixth-semester students, five males and 34 females. The lecturer applied the GI and RbL syntax at the 1-8th meetings to collect the data. At the 9-12th meeting, PBTs carried out guided work by studying articles containing themes or content of SSI from the scientific journal. Data analysis was carried out with descriptive statistics, and to differentiate between the two treatments, a test of equality of mean values was carried out using the t-test. This research provides several conclusions. First, SSI articles can be used as learning materials promoting scientific literacy and RSD-7. Second, using SSI with RbL and SSI with GI promotes prospective biology teachers’ scientific literacy. The SL components are explaining phenomena scientifically, evaluating and designing inquiry, interpreting data, and knowledge of scientific literacy. Third, using SSI with RbL and SSI with GI promotes prospective biology teachers’ RSD-7 skills at all levels: (1) Embark and Clarify, (2) Find and Generate, (3) Evaluate and Reflect, (4) Organize and Manage, (5) Analyze and Synthesize, and (6) Communicate and Apply. The seven levels in RSD-7 are prescribed research, bounded research, scaffolded research, self-initiated research, open research, adopted research, and enlarging research. There were no differences in RSD-7 skills between the SSI with RbL and GI treatments. Fourth, there is no difference in learning outcomes between the SSI with GI and RbL treatments.

Abstract

Technological and digital developments have implications for integrating technology into educational practice. As a result, teachers have to deal with digital transformation. This research aims to compare the digital transformation readiness of science teachers in urban and rural areas. This research compares to the previously determined structural model of digital transformation readiness. This research used a survey method to test several research hypotheses. The respondents of this research were 206 science teachers in Indonesia, selected using stratified random sampling to ensure a balanced representation of various sub-groups such as gender, geographic location, island, age, type and status of institution, and teaching experience. This research data was analyzed using AMOS 26 to analyze CBSEM. The research results show three main points in digital transformation: the self-efficacy of rural teachers is affected by digital literacy, the information empowerment of rural teachers is affected by information literacy and digital literacy, and the information use of rural teachers is affected by information culture. Urban teachers at these three points are more dependent and require recommendations for development and optimization. The conclusion of this research leads to a recommendation that, in general, teachers in rural areas still need improvements, while teachers in urban areas are already moving towards developing and sustaining their skills.

Abstract

Self-directedness is a crucial skill for prospective science teachers, and the Think-Pair-Project-Share (TP2S) model has shown promise in fostering collaboration and critical thinking. This aim study to investigates the effectiveness of TP2S in promoting self-directed learning among these future educators. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the think-pair-project-share (TP2S) learning model in facilitating the self-directedness of prospective science teachers. This quantitative research uses a nonequivalent control group design. The population in this study were second semester students, while the research sample consisted of 72 students. The self-directedness data collection technique uses an instrument in the form of a scale. Based on the results of the paired sample T test, it can be seen that both experimental classes obtained a Sig value. (2-tailed) 0.000. It can be concluded that the paired sample T test value in the experimental class is 0.000<0.05 so that there is a significant difference in results between the pretest and posttest scores (H0 is rejected). It can be concluded that there is a difference in self-directedness between students who study human and environmental subjects using the think pair project share model and those who use the conventional model. It is known that the application of the TP2S learning model has an effect on the self-directedness of prospective science teachers. The implications of this research support and strengthen the results of theoretical studies that the TP2S learning model is a student-centered learning model that utilizes the ability to manage learning strategies independently.
