Abstract

Questioning skills, which are identified as higher-order thinking skills, are needed nowadays. In reality, some of the students, including university students, still lacking in confidence to pose their questions. The teaching materials and method that can develop students' questioning skills, such as electronic modules which developed based on industrial revolution 4.0 and adjusted to students' demand as the millennial generation, are necessary. The electronic module integrates with STEM learning is the best way to solve the students' questioning skills problem. The research purpose is to develop a STEM-based E-module to investigate the development of students' questions quality. The research method used in this research are R&D with design ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implementation, and Evaluation), while the E-Module are implemented to the students, the qualitative descriptive method is used. The instrument used to collect some data on this research are video transcription, application transcription, reading test, and questionnaire. This research has been conducted on 26 university students who took Science Environmental Technology and Social (SETS) course. Questions' quality rubrics are used to analyze the data. As a result of this research, the implementation of developed STEM-based E-Modules is achievable. After implementation, the result of the student's question quality in general, including both pojok inquiry and pojok eksplorasi activity, is attained. There are improvements shown from activity 1 and activity 2 on pojok inquiry activity but decreased in activity 3. As for pojok eksplorasi, students’ generated question quality is improved gradually. It can be concluded that students’ generated questions quality is slightly developed, which means that it is attained at the beginning of the open question category as higher-level quality. The novel finding of this research is the question’s quality from the lecturer might have some influence on the quality of students’ questions.

Abstract

Science education has progressed very rapidly both in terms of content and skills as learning experiences. This progress must be responded to by every student and their background, including Sundanese people. Cloning is one aspect of science education content that goes along its controversy, so that argumentation skills are very suitable for every student. It is hoped that they will form opinions based on their point of view on the issue. Sundanese people are known to be simple and to keep their ancestral knowledge from generation to generation. Therefore, it will be very interesting to research how they form opinions on the issue of cloning. This study aimed to investigate the argumentation skills of the eleventh-grade students of a Sundanese High School about Human cloning based on gender and cultural habits. This qualitative research probed argumentation skill quality by claim forming and evidence supplying. Forty-four students of the eleventh-grade were given a research instrument with a snowball sampling technique. Students’ worksheet of cloning was used to trawl data of written argumentation skills. Semi-structured interviews encompassed oral argumentation skills data. The family’s gender awareness data were obtained through questionnaires and interviews. Furthermore, this research utilized a data triangulation tool by using field notes. Four-scale rubrics were used to determine students’ argumentation skills with inductive analysis as a tool to examine the data. The results show that most of the research subjects (Sundanese students) can create simple argument can create mentation skills better than written argumentation skills with relatively no significant differences based on gender differences. According to this research finding, several factors influencing Sundanese students' argumentation skills, such as freedom of opinion-forming in family life, students' role in the family, articulating ideas, and cultural influences, are suggestions.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit the entire world has caused changes in learning patterns from classroom to virtual classroom activities, and this has caused biology teachers to experience problems when teaching material through direct practicum activities. There is a need for solutions that can facilitate practicum activities by developing a virtual laboratory application. This research develops a Virtual Biology Laboratory (VLab-Bio) application based on Biology, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (BTEM) that is feasible and practical to facilitate virtual lab work on the concept of bacteria. The application product produced from this research is expected to help students facilitate practicum activities and improve critical thinking skills on the concept of bacteria. The application produced from this research is expected to help students improve their critical-thinking skills and lab work on bacterial material. Akker development model was used with four stages of development: preliminary research, prototyping, summative evaluation, and systematic reflection and documentation. The research instrument consisted of tests of critical-thinking skills and non-tests in the form of observations of the learning process and student response questionnaires. The research data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively with the paired t-test. The results showed that the BTEM-based virtual laboratory developed was classified as valid and effective in improving students’ critical-thinking skills with 78% effectiveness. Based on this research, it can be recommended that using a BTEM-based virtual laboratory can be used as a supplement in facilitating bacterial concept practicum activities. For further application development, it is hoped that the application can provide flexibility for students to develop their own practicum procedures in applications.

Abstract

This article aims to describe the implementation of online biology learning in senior high schools (SMA/MA) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta during the pandemic. This study employed a quantitative method and involved 25 SMA/MA biology teachers in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The data were collected through a survey by distributing questionnaires to the teachers. The results reveal that all SMA/MA biology teachers in Yogyakarta have transformed offline learning into online learning. They conduct blended online learning by combining virtual synchronous activities and asynchronous activities by utilizing online media. The virtual synchronous activities (44%) dominate the learning process, and thus, conducive communication between teachers and students is created. Whatsapp is the most dominant media utilized in the virtual synchronous activities (38%) and asynchronous activities (41%) even though this application is not designed for learning purposes. This study is expected to provide SMA/MA biology teachers’ objective description of their condition in implementing online learning. Consequently, the description can become an evaluation for educational stakeholders and a consideration to conduct related research.

Abstract

Not a few students who have difficulty interpreting the material being studied in terms of life encourage the need for a paradigm shift in science learning, which is directed at lifelong learning. In this paper, an entrepreneurship-oriented 5E (Engagement, Explain, Exploration, Elaboration, and Evaluation) inquiry learning program is developed, which is also often called 5E+e. This research investigates the improvement of lifelong learning for the prospective teachers during the 5E+e inquiry in the plant diversity course. The quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-postest design was used. The research subjects were taken by purposive sampling, namely the fifth-semester students of the Biology Education Study Program at one of the Teachers Institution in Central Java with 31 participants. Data were gathered using a questionnaire filled out by students before (pre) and after (post) the treatment of the 5E+e inquiry learning and observation. The data analysis was carried out in both quantitative and qualitative-descriptive manners to make a comprehensive conclusion. The results revealed that the average lifelong learning score of prospective teachers compiled with rubrics had increased between before (2.68) and after being given the program (3.26) with a maximum score of 4.00. Thus, it can be concluded that the entrepreneurship-oriented inquiry learning program applied to the plant diversity course can increase the lifelong learning of prospective teachers.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Write-to-Learn-Social-Oriented-Scientific-Issues' on the critical thinking and argumentation skills of grade eleven students. The study employed a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental method and involved static groups of pretest-posttest design with two experimental classes. The strategies of the Write-to-Learn-Social-Oriented Scientific Issues were divided into two: Free and Guided Write-to-Learn. These strategies were implemented in each class. The Hotelling’s Trace test showed that the strategy was less effectively implemented on students' critical thinking skills than on students' argumentation skills. Furthermore, the hypothesis test using the independent sample t-test showed that the Free Write-to-Learn-Social-Oriented-Scientific-Issue strategy effectively built students' critical thinking skills and argumentative abilities to learn biology. Meanwhile, the Guided strategy was less effectively implemented on critical thinking skills but was effectively applied to students' argumentation skills to understand biology.
