Abstract

Mathematics is the queen of science, but many children experience slow learners in these subjects. Slow learners can achieve maximum abilities if the learning approach is appropriate to the situation. This study examines slow learner children with a realistic mathematics education approach. The research method uses single subject research with multiple baseline cross conditions designs at school and home. Then data analysis uses an internal analysis approach and an analysis between curves of both conditions. The results showed that slow learners experienced a higher tendency to score higher when studying at home than at school. In addition, slow learner students have a higher score increase after treatment, but after moving to another condition, the increase in score slows or stagnates. The implication is that teachers teach slow learners with the MRE approach at school based on home situations to maximize their learning abilities.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of argumentation-supported problem-based learning (AS-PBL) carried out in the Chemistry-II laboratory course on the conceptual understanding of prospective science teachers about "Chemical equilibrium and Le-Chatelier's principle". The prospective teachers' answers were analyzed using content analysis and the existing misconceptions about the relevant chemistry topics were determined and the effectiveness of the relevant method in eliminating the misconceptions was also examined. The prospective science teachers had fewer scientific arguments in writing grounds for their claims before the treatment using AS-PBL. They were able to use their rebuttal skills more in addition to their claims and grounds after the treatment. Suggestions about problem-based learning supported by argumentation in science laboratory environments were presented to prospective teachers, educators and, readers.

Abstract

Science process skills (SPSs) are one of the most important skills possessed by students in conducting scientific activities. Therefore, it is crucial for science teachers to understand and practice these skills. Considering the role of teachers in developing students' SPSs, the focus of this study is on developing pre-service science teachers’ SPSs. This study aims at determining the effects of explicit teaching of SPSs upon pre-service teachers’ SPSs. To accomplish this, action research was employed. The study involved 10 pre-service science teachers who voluntarily participated in the study and were from Science Education Departments at a state university in Türkiye. Data were collected by using two methods: quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative data were obtained by using the Science Process Skills Scale. Meanwhile, the qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews and diaries. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was utilized in the quantitative data, and a content analysis technique was used in the analysis of the qualitative data. The results of the study indicated that explicit teaching of SPSs contributes to the development of pre-service teachers’ SPSs, and that all pre-service teachers prefer explicit teaching in the teaching or development of SPSs.

Abstract

In the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka in Indonesian schools, there is a fundamental change related to the position of English as a subject. When previously English was considered a local content subject at elementary schools, in today's curriculum, it becomes compulsory for both primary to secondary levels of elementary. The policymakers should be intrigued whether elementary school teachers in Indonesia are ready to respond to this change. Accordingly, this study intends to investigate to what extent the participated teachers are ready to teach English in elementary school. The psychological dimension of readiness was the main concern. To address this issue, a narrative inquiry involving three elementary teachers, all teaching in fourth grade, served as the participants of this study. They wrote their personal stories with guiding questions comprising their experiences dealing with English, how they had responded to changes, and their educational backgrounds. Through deductive coding and data analysis, it revealed that the participants had different ways of responding to change, such as: conducting preparation, worrying, being optimistic. They had different educational major, that was predicted as a factor influence self-efficacy. They also had different experiences in dealing with their English proficiency. However, they believed that they were psychologically ready to teach English at Elementary schools. Result indicates that there is importance to further investigate more in-depth investigations that include other dimensions of readiness: behavioural and situational readiness.

Abstract

Students should be provided with more meaningful learning experiences to attract more students to STEM careers, Out-of-School learning environments can offer students exciting and motivating learning opportunities that formal environments cannot provide. Therefore, national education reforms in many countries that are working on popularizing STEM career have shifted STEM education to out-of-School learning environments. In this study which used a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group, the effect of out-of-School learning environments on middle school 6th grade students' interest in STEM field has been investigated. The participants of the research consisted of 14 girls and 22 boys in total 36 students. Within the scope of the research, a STEM education program consisting of 6 different learning environments, four of which is out of school and two in school, has been prepared. The training program of the study was completed in 16 weeks. In the research, the pretest-posttest control group research model was used, and the data were collected using the STEM career interest scale. The results obtained from this study show that non-formal education in out-of-School learning environments is effective in the orientation of secondary school students to STEM career fields especially Science related professions.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to find out the problem-solving strategies used by primary school 3rd and 4th-graders in solving non-routine problems. The basic qualitative research design, one of the qualitative research approaches, was used in the research. The participants of the research consisted of 216 students, 104 of them in the third-grade and 112 of them in the fourth-grade. The "problem-solving test" developed by the researcher was used as a data collection tool. Descriptive analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. When the results of the research were examined, it was discovered that primary school third-graders mostly used making a drawing strategy in solving non-routine problems; guessing and checking and looking for a pattern strategies were the most commonly used strategies after making a drawing strategy. When the problem-solving strategies used by primary school fourth-graders were examined, it was discovered that guessing and checking was the most commonly used strategy and this strategy was followed by the strategy of looking for a pattern and making a drawing. It was concluded that primary school fourth-graders were more likely to use the other problem-solving strategies apart from making a drawing strategy than the third-graders.
