Abstract

This study confirms that the traditional game Bentengan can serve as a contextual model for early childhood science learning, effectively integrating cognitive, motor, and social-emotional development. Empirical evidence suggests that embodied interaction during play enhances preschoolers’ conceptual understanding of force, motion, balance, and environmental phenomena, while also strengthening their gross and fine motor coordination. Theoretically, these findings contribute to embodied cognition studies by demonstrating how sensorimotor engagement functions as a foundation for abstract scientific reasoning in STEM domains. Practically, the integration of culturally grounded games provides a locally relevant and engaging alternative to conventional instruction, positioning Bentengan as a sustainable approach for culture-based preschool education that aligns with current curriculum reforms and the broader agenda of inclusive, active, and meaningful early science education.

Abstract

The integration of spiritual values and Computational Thinking (CT) in science learning at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah remains limited and has not been systematically addressed. This study aims to develop the SCT Tree Model, an innovative instructional model that integrates spirituality with CT in science learning, and to examine its effectiveness on students’ learning outcomes at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. This study employed a mixed-methods approach with a sequential exploratory design, involving six experts, 241 teachers, and 188 students across Central Java, Indonesia. The model was validated by experts and practitioners, showing a valid category (Aiken’s V = 0.81–0.93). A pilot test indicated an increase in average scores from 79 to 94 (+15 points), while a large-scale trial demonstrated an increase from 72 to 90 (+18 points). Experimental testing across three regions confirmed that the SCT Tree Model contributed 84.5% to students’ science learning outcomes, with significant differences compared to conventional instruction. The novelty of this research lies in the systematic integration of spiritual values and CT through seven contextually based tree syntaxes. Practically, the model offers a concrete solution for Madrasah Ibtidaiyah teachers to implement holistic science learning that aligns with national curriculum policies and 21st-century educational demands.

Abstract

This study investigates the character, and value as a citizen and attitude of socio-scientific issues (SSI) among pre-service chemistry teacher’s in Riau, Indonesia. SSI learning was conducted in the classroom and designed to cultivate characteristics and attitude of SSI. The integration of SSI with the learning process involved instruction that inquiry analyzing based on environmental issues. A total seventy-six chemistry education majors participated in the study, including eleven male and sixty-five female students. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that measured the participants’ characteristics, civic value, and attitude of SSIs. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 26 with, employing descriptive statistic and Mann-Whitney U analysis. The result revealed that male pre-service chemistry teacher group has a higher score in character, value as citizens, and attitude of SSI compared to their female counterparts. However, the analysis showed no statistically significant difference (p>.05) between male and female pre-service chemistry teacher in the sub-factors of character and SSI attitudes. Despite the lack of significant gender differences, the findings suggest that the integration of SSI in chemistry education can enhance moral thinking and decision-making abilities and positive attitude toward SSI. Teachers may consider both subject matter and instructional method when addressing these aspects in the classroom.

Abstract

Inquiry skills are essential for prospective physics teachers. Inquiry skills are a necessary in the educational curriculum because they can help students construct scientific knowledge and skills, essential activities in science learning. This research aims to validate the scientific inquiry skills test used to evaluate the scientific inquiry skills of prospective physics teachers. This research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional survey design. The adapted inquiry skills test questions consisted of 35 items covering nine aspects of inquiry skills. The participants in this research were 168 prospective physics teachers who were chosen randomly and came from educational institutions on the islands of Indonesia. The results show that the adapted inquiry skills test meets the validity and reliability criteria based on Rasch parameters. On average, students' skills are still low in answering inquiry skills test questions. Analysis of differential item function reveals that the inquiry skills test items contain minimal biases based on university category and gender but are slightly larger based on semester level. The inquiry skills scores of students in semesters II, IV, and VI were not significantly different. The inquiry skills scores of male students are significantly different from the inquiry skills scores of female students. The adapted inquiry skills test instrument has met the criteria of validity, reliability, and slight bias based on university category and gender. A small number of test items need to be corrected so they are not biased based on the student's semester level. The evaluation results show that male students show better inquiry skills than female students. Reorganization is needed in planning and implementing learning strategies that can facilitate the inquiry skills of prospective physics teachers.
