Abstract

This study examined students’ attitudes, study habits, and academic performance in science using self-learning modules. This type of research is a descriptive-correlational design utilizing a standardized survey questionnaire. The research subjects were 174 secondary students in a public school. Data analysis used descriptive techniques, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Findings revealed that students have a positive attitude toward science and have fair study habits. Students are very satisfactory in time management, concentration, goal setting preparation and follow-up, comprehension, and use of resources. Hence, students positively perceive that Science teachers in distance learning using the SLMs make science enjoyable and present material. This study concluded that using the self-learning modules, students have positive attitudes toward science, very satisfactory study habits, and most of the students have satisfactory academic performance. No correlation was found between students’ academic performance and attitudes toward science using self-learning modules and between academic performance and study habits in science. However, a positive correlation existed between students’ attitudes toward science and study habits using self-learning modules. This study will have important implications for education in the new normal, including improving student engagement and motivation by understanding the relationship between attitudes, study habits and academic performance will help educators to design self-learning modules that support students in developing positive attitudes, study habits, leading to improved engagement and motivation.

Abstract

Conceptual change (CC) is a learning process in which students’ misconceptions are transformed into more scientific knowledge. The Metacognitive Conceptual Change (MCC) learning model is created by incorporating metacognitive skills and motivation elements into the CC model to make it more effective. It is necessary to look into the MCC model’s efficacy in encouraging students’ CC. This study aims to evaluate the MCC model’s effectiveness in improving conceptual changes in students through metacognitive skills, motivation, and scientific knowledge. This study used the experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The trial subjects were limited to 25 participants, while the broad trial subjects comprised 60 participants. Data was collected from tests, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used in this study were descriptive, qualitative (n-gain test), and quantitative (paired t-test). The results demonstrate that the MCC learning model successfully raises students’ motivation, scientific knowledge, and metacognitive skills (p Sig. 0.05), encouraging the CC process. It is concluded that the MCC learning model effectively improves students’ CC by incorporating scientific knowledge, motivation, and metacognitive skills into instructional decisions. The MCC has practical implications for assessing CC through motivation and metacognitive scaffolding.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the potential impact of STEM-based scientific learning on the critical and creative thinking skills of students at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha in Indonesia. To achieve this goal, we conducted a quasi-experimental research design to collect data. We provided students with hands-on experiences in conducting scientific experiments to solve real-world problems related to energy and air. Data regarding students’ critical thinking skills were gathered through tests, while data about creative thinking skills were obtained by observing students’ performance in mind-mapping exercises. The collected data underwent thorough statistical analysis, including descriptive and inferential techniques. The results of this research show that students taught using the STEM-based scientific learning model outperform those taught using the conventional model (lecturing). Furthermore, inferential statistical research shows that using the STEM-based scientific learning model predicts students’ critical and creative thinking skills considerably. These results imply that using the STEM-based scientific learning model can help students improve their critical and creative thinking skills. This shows the potential to add to the body of literature on the influence of STEM-based scientific learning in developing students’ critical and creative thinking skills. Further, this study can serve as a basic reference for future studies aimed at investigating the influence of STEM-based scientific education on students from various educational backgrounds and cultural settings.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of mental representation of seventh-grade junior high school students in cell concepts. The research method used was the explanatory sequential mix method with 60 research subjects. The instruments used in this research were the Mental Diagnostic Test (MDT), which consists of a reasoned true and false test, a symbolic test, and an imaging test. Based on the results obtained from the answers to the MDT instrument, it can be seen that the levels of mental representations are categorized into Initial mental representation, Intermediate mental representation 1, Intermediate mental representation 2, Consensus representation, and Target representation. The results show that on the MDT instrument, the average student is included in the intuition and experience mental model. The level of the mental representations of male students is higher than that of female students. The mental representation of the initial level, intermediate 1, and the target in male and female students have the same level; the difference occurs at the intermediate level 2 and consensus. Male students (30%) have higher intermediate level 2 than female students (20%). Furthermore, there are 10% male students and no female students at the consensus level. This research concludes that the information level profile of mental representation is identified as having the type of intuition and experience.

Abstract

Chemical literacy, one of the most important aspects of chemistry teaching and learning, has been paid more attention. However, chemistry learning has not focused much on providing students with learning experiences that could improve chemical literacy. Ethno-STEM approach-integrated inquiry-based learning has been reported as an effective learning model in the chemistry learning. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of blended inquiry learning with an ethno-STEM approach in improving students’ chemical literacy. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach with a one-shot case study design. Ninety-four first-semester students participating in the General Chemistry course (3 credits) in the teacher education program were involved in the study. During the study, blended inquiry learning with an ethno-STEM approach was applied to the participating students for one semester. Questionnaires, descriptive questions, and interviews were used to collect the research data. A descriptive statistic was used to analyze the data. This study showed that the blended inquiry learning with the ethno-STEM approach was effective to improve the students’ nominal and functional chemical literacy but ineffective to increase conceptual and multidimensional literacy. The students’ prior knowledge in chemistry played an important role in the growth of chemical literacy. A continuing BIL-ethno-STEM in chemistry teaching and learning would allow a significant improvement in the conceptual and multidimensional literacy.

Abstract

Effective writing abilities are essential for science students to articulate their thoughts and critical thinking, enabling the assessment of their scientific knowledge progression. This study aims to uncover the challenges Malaysian Higher School Certificate (STPM) students face in answering Biology essay questions in English. Using a document analysis approach, examiners’ feedback from 27 STPM Biology Candidate Reports of essay questions spanning 2013 to 2021 were inductively analyzed. Thematic analysis unveiled the challenges faced by students in answering Biology essay questions in English. The analysis reveals two primary hurdles faced by STPM Biology students. The most substantial challenge pertains to the ‘content’, followed by ‘content and language’. Deficiencies in scientific comprehension and principles were evident within the ‘content’ category. In ‘content and language’, students needed help to compose English responses. Factors like ‘technical term’, content, language, and technical term’, ‘language’, and ‘technical term and language’ held little significance. Intriguingly, ‘content and technical term’ posed the least difficulty; inaccuracies in specialized vocabulary usage caused confusion and point deductions. These findings highlight the substantive challenges STPM Biology students face in the domain of natural science education. The study underscores that prevalent issues addressing STPM Biology essay questions revolve around insufficient content coverage and limited English proficiency. Addressing these challenges and devising instructional strategies to bolster content comprehension and language skills within the natural science context proves pivotal. By tackling these issues, educators and policymakers can cultivate a more supportive and effective learning environment for STPM Biology students.

Abstract

This study intends to investigate the profile of students’ higher-order thinking skills through the model integration of Creative Problem Solving Predict-Observe-Explain (CPSPOE). Data collection was carried out both quantitatively and qualitatively (mixed method). The mixed method sequential explanatory design consisted of two distinct phases: quantitative and qualitative. In this design, the researchers first collected and analyzed quantitative (numeric) data, then proceeded with qualitative data to help decipher the quantitative results. Using a purposive sampling technique, the research sample used two junior high schools in the city of Bengkulu to determine the experimental and control classes in each school based on the average academic scores before the study. The research instrument was a high-level thinking cognitive test in the form of 10-item test items describing the interaction of living things with their environment. The results of student scores on the test were analyzed using the MANOVA significance test and obtained a p-value 0.05, meaning that there is a significant influence on classifying, problem-solving, generating hypothesizing, and decision-making. Based on the CPSPOE model reference, which is integrated with a complete and interactive sequence of learning stages that can facilitate students to be involved in efforts to train higher-order thinking skills and can effectively activate students, being facilitated by teachers, complex social systems are considered practical and easy to implement to train high-level thinking skills. This study concludes that the sequence of learning stages of the CPSPOE model can be effective in improving classifying, problem-solving, generating hypothesizing, and decision-making skills for junior high school students’ high-level thinking skills.
