Abstract

This study was conducted to explore the overall acceptance of evolution among undergraduate students in a State University as basis for developing a STEM-based instructional design to address the misconceptions about evolution. The research was conducted using the 20-item questionnaires of the Measurement of Acceptance of the Theory of Evolution (MATE) instrument assessing undergraduate students' acceptance of evolution in relations to; the process of evolution, the scientific validity of the evolutionary theory, the evolution of humans, evidence of evolution, scientific community's view of evolution and age of the Earth. The study is within a quantitative and qualitative framework using descriptive and inferential analysis. The findings revealed that all the colleges in the science group acquired a moderate level of acceptance except for the CED non-science group who received a low degree of acceptance of the theory of evolution. Although among the six concepts in the study, they generally agree on the statements and only in the idea on the age of the earth where the students were undecided. This research confirms that the level of acceptance is not positively related to the students' specialization. Based on the result of this study there is a need to develop a STEM based instructional design and this should be emphasized in the science curriculum. The teaching design will fill in the gaps in understanding concepts of evolution and its significance to the lives of many organisms and for the teachers to look evolution from very broad flexible and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the higher-order thinking skills of pre-service teachers through STEM-PjBL Model. The research method used was a quasi-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design. The N-Gain results mention the N-gain in both experimental and control classes that the physics learning process through the STEM-PjBL Model is 21% higher in improving higher-order thinking skills than Direct Learning. Improvement of students' ability to solve HOTS categorical questions in the experimental group taught by applying STEM-PjBL Model scored N-Gain 75% or 0.75, which increases the high category. In comparison, the control group led by applying the Direct Learning model achieved 54% or 0.54, meaning a moderate increase in categories. The results showed that learning using STEM-PjBL Model could improve higher-order thinking skills more than Direct Instruction Learning. The implications of this research include: gaining new knowledge that can be used as a pre-service teacher’, adding insight regarding STEM-PjBL Model that can be used to grow students' science process skills, assisting schools in improving the quality of students, and the quality of the physics learning process in schools.

Abstract

This study was aim at analyzing the notion of quality teaching expected of teachers as reflective practitioners, which are continuously articulated during workshops, conferences, however, its practicality seems vaguely defined and at times, reflection seems to lose its purpose and value. The study engaged a descriptive survey which used stratified sampling technique which understudies 363 Primary School Teachers in Fiji from the four major Education Divisions, in which each stratum was selected. A ‘Test on Knowledge of Reflective Teaching,’ and a ‘Rating Scale on Practice of Reflective Teaching’ were conducted and analysed to compare the components of Knowledge and Practice of Reflective Teaching, with respect to teaching experience, and the data was analysed quantitatively using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Fndings from the study amongst others is that there is a significant difference in knowledge which focus on practical aspects’ component of knowledge of reflective teaching for primary mathematics teachers in Fiji.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to 1) determine the results of the prerequisite test of the research instrument consisting of tests of validity, reliability, and normality, 2) know students' responses to interest and motivation to learn using chemistry learning innovations. The method used is descriptive quantitative. A sample of 76 students was selected by purposive sampling at one of the senior high schools in Indonesia. Data was collected using a questionnaire instrument with ten items arranged based on a Likert scale based on student interest and motivation indicators on the acid-base titration concept. The instrument used was declared valid, and reliability was proven by a corrected item-total correlation of 10 items. Each of them has a value of more than 0.325. A reliability value of 0.785 and a significance value of 0.2 indicates that the data is normally distributed. The Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics-Project Based Learning (STEAM-PjBL) innovation received a good response from students in the form of a high percentage of interest and learning motivation. Students' interest in learning got an average score of 4.17 in the high category of 83.4%. Likewise, learning motivation scored 4.22 in the high category of 84.4%. In general, student responses gave positive responses or agreed to the application of STEAM-PjBL in chemistry learning because it gave students high interest and motivation to learn. The results of this study can be used as innovations in the science learning process.

Abstract

The rapid developments of Science and Technology call for individuals to have strong academic knowledge and creativity. Research shows that students acquire creativity after either curricular or extracurricular activities in subject matters. However, there is not much research examining students’ creativity through integrative learning activities, such as STEM activities. In this current study, we examine the potential of STEM clubs in terms of fostering students’ creativity. We used the survey method to assess students’ creativity in engineering design. We collected the data from 244 Vietnamese students, including members and non-members in STEM clubs. The quantitative analysis was performed to examine the differences between members’ creativity and non-members’ creativity. The results show that STEM club members have significantly more creativity than non-members. The results also show that STEM club members have significantly more creativity than non-members. Based on the results, STEM clubs demonstrate a significant impact on students' creativity. Consequently, STEM clubs should be implemented in high school to enhance students’ creativity.

Abstract

Learning activities during the covid-19 pandemic have adapted by utilizing e-learning platforms, and this condition encourages the need to help students, especially by knowing their many motivations. Thus, this study aims, 1) To determine the level of student learning motivation in general and by gender 2) To determine the percentage of the ARCS aspect of each school on the level of learning motivation in general and by gender, 3) To determine the percentage of the ARCS aspect as a whole to the level of motivation to learn in general and by gender after participating in Physics learning boldly. The research sample was 275 students of class X MIPA from 8 public schools in Balikpapan. Data collection using questionnaires and interview techniques. The results showed that the general level of motivation was moderate with a percentage of 49%, while the value based on the proportion of gender for male students was 37% and the percentage for students was 63%. , 64.23% for Relevance, 68.19% for Confidence, and 71.95% for Satisfaction, while the proportion value based on gender in Attention is 67.53% for male, 67.80% for female; Male relevance 65.07%, female 63.78%; Confidence of men 69.41%, women 67.55%; and male satisfaction 72.37%, female 71.74%. Basically, this study aims to determine the level of motivation to learn physics and the aspects that affect that motivation; the higher the motivation, the greater the learning success. This study shows that high school students' motivation to learn physics based on the ARCS learning model is in the medium category. By knowing the level of learning motivation from several aspects that have been explored, we can increase students' motivation to learn to the maximum in the next lesson.
