Abstract

This study describes the responses of prospective teacher students to learning the Bernoulli principle. The research design used descriptive research with a sample of 38 prospective teacher students from PGMI State Islamic University of Mataram. Data was obtained from response questionnaires with 3 indicators, namely happy, easy to understand and useful. As a result, the response of prospective teacher students to Kaffah learning is very good and has a positive impact on them. Kaffah learning integrates religion, science, application and meaningfulness from a single concept. This learning is expected to contribute to the development of the ability of prospective teacher students in planning, implementing and evaluating learning.

Abstract

Numerical literacy, the ability to interpret and apply numerical data, is crucial for success in various fields, including computer science. Traditionally, Pascal programming courses rely on passive learning methods, hindering students' development of numeracy skills. This study investigated the effectiveness of project-based learning (PjBL) in improving numeracy literacy among 46 Physics Education students enrolled in a Pascal programming course at Mataram University in Indonesia. The PjBL approach involved real-world projects requiring students to apply and analyze numerical data within their programming tasks. Findings revealed significant improvements in numeracy literacy, with success rates of 97% for short analysis, 87% for medium analysis, and 46% for long analysis. Overall, the average learning outcome was 84 out of 100, demonstrating the potential of PjBL as an effective learning model for enhancing numeracy skills in programming contexts. Further research is encouraged to refine PjBL implementation models and optimize its impact on numeracy literacy in STEM education.

Abstract

21st century learning includes achieving the ability to communicate, think critically, think and act creatively, and collaborate. One of the efforts recommended by experts to achieve this is through the application of project-based learning. Various forms of blending are implemented using project-based learning. One form of method in project-based learning is the practicum method. This literature review aims to describe various forms of project-based learning as well as the development of practical guide modules and their relationship to several practical activities that lead to the chemical identification of natural medicinal plant ingredients. The various results of this research will give birth to alternative project-based learning by developing practical guide modules that can strengthen students' understanding of high-level thinking skills related to the classification of living things, especially plants, as well as science process skills and scientific attitudes.

Abstract

The Test of Science-Related Attitudes (TOSRA) was initially developed in Australia by Barry J. Fraser in 1977 for high school students. This research aims to modify and validate the TOSRA used for 5th-grade elementary school students in Mataram, Indonesia. A survey model with a Likert scale questionnaire was used in the research and a purposive sampling strategy was used to recruit 318 students from 3 different elementary schools in Mataram. There were 4 of 7 indicators of TOSRA used in this research: attitude to scientific inquiry, adoption of scientific attitudes, enjoyment of science lessons, and leisure interest in science. From each indicator, 5 of the 10 statements on TOSRA are taken, so a total of 20 statements were presented in the questionnaire. Each item of the question was analyzed for its validity and reliability overall. The results showed that all question items are valid and reliable so this modified TOSRA can measure the science-related attitudes of 5th-grade elementary school students in Mataram, Indonesia.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a causalytic model learning integrated of character values assisted by Go-Lab platform to improve students' problem solving and creative thinking abilities. This development research procedure refers to the steps in developing a 4D model which consists of four main stages, namely defining, designing, developing and disseminating. The practicality test is carried out after the definition and design stages are completed. The practicality test instrument consists of an observation sheet on learning implementation as well as a teacher and student response questionnaire. The observers involved in filling out the observation sheet for learning implementation were 1 teacher of science and 20 students in class VIII-C at State Junior High School (SMPN) 3 Labuapi. Meanwhile, the observers involved in filling out the response questionnaire were 3 teachers of science and 20 students in class VIII-C at SMPN 3 Labuapi. Learning tools are said to be practical if the observers' assessments state that the learning tools can be applied. The results of the analysis of observations of learning implementation by teachers and students obtained an average percentage of 97.08% and 96.88% in very practical category. Meanwhile, the results of the analysis of teacher and student responses obtained an average percentage of 90.00% and 98.00% in very practical category. This shows that the learning tools developed are easy to use, easy to interpret, and provide benefits for teachers and students.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the impact of a computational chemistry-supported STEM Project-Based Learning (PjBL-STEM) application on fostering critical thinking competencies. The project focuses on green energy, utilizing waste cooking oil and aluminum to enhance students' critical thinking skills. A pre-experimental design was employed for this study, involving a sample of 22 students. Data were collected using the 21st-Century Skills Usage Scale, along with structured and semi-structured interview forms. Critical thinking was assessed through a descriptive test comprising 10 questions. The collected data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and thematic analysis techniques. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in the students' 21st-century skills, such as autonomy, collaboration, environmental sensitivity, communication, problem-solving, creativity, responsibility, and IT literacy. Particularly notable was the students' ability to interpret structured and patterned graphical data, which they found easier to understand compared to image and narrative data. The N-gain test results indicated that the STEM-PjBL model had a positive impact on developing critical thinking abilities, with 50% of students achieving medium and high categories. Overall, the STEM-PjBL model positively influenced the development of critical thinking competencies.
