This study aimed to examine the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) in developing science process skills (SPS) and learning achievement on the topic of 'Safety in Our Environment' in secondary schools in Tanzania. The study employed a quasi-experimental design. The participants for the study were Form One 'Stream E' students in the experimental…

When teaching STEM courses, it is important to introduce state-of-the-art techniques. Students need to learn how to conduct experiments, analyse data and choose the most effective approaches to address meaningful situations. Here we present the assessment of the implementation of a structured inquiry-based activity aimed at teaching students about…

This study aims to reveal the effectiveness of the problem-based learning (PBL) model in teaching the concepts of heat, temperature and pressure, as well as the effect of the activities on the development of scientific process skills. For this purpose, the change in the academic achievement levels of the students constituting the sampling group…

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the science module which was designed using the problem-based learning method on the basis of the Integrated Curriculum Model and applied in the blended learning environment on the scientific reasoning and scientific process skills of gifted students. The study was carried out with 9 gifted 5th…

Purpose: This research aimed to examine the usefulness of a microbiology digital handout as a teaching material validated by experimental research in the improvement of science process skills and cognitive learning outcome of students. Methodology: The study comprises two methods: experimental research and development research. The experimental…

Students in Indonesia still have the low level of scientific argumentation skills. This study purposed to examine the impact of Problem-based Learning (PBL) with Argument Mapping and Online Laboratory in improving the scientific argumentation skill. It describes the significance of the differences between participants who learn through PBL, PBL…

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of using different teaching methods in "Cell and Division" and "Force and Energy" units on students' engagement in the lesson and scientific process skills. In each of the five randomly selected groups, the lessons were taught with Multiple Intelligence, Problem Based Learning,…

This aim of the research was to train socioscientific decision making skills for the science students. Students are involved to solve the socioscientific problems by making informative and systematic decisions. The development of socioscientific decision making skills was done by applying biotechnological module based on Problem-based Learning…

This research aimed to describe and find out whether implementation of Problem-Based Learning can improve scientific explanation skills in biology learning about the environment. The research method was Classroom Action Research through the implementation of Problem-Based Learning. This classroom action research consisted of two cycles, which were…

The research mixed method aims to investigate students' creative thinking skills about elasticity in physics. The students' creative thinking skills were measured by diagnostic tests developed by researchers and validated by theoretical physics. The instrument included several indicators of critical thinking skills including fluency, flexibility,…

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a constructivist learning with the potential to enhance students' science process skill. The implementation of PBL has revealed many advantages, however, a free exploration from a highly complex environment may result in a heavier workload of memory. Accordingly, practicum method can be used to overcome the…

Initial teacher education (ITE) providers prepare graduates to be effective classroom practitioners, but there is little contemporary research capturing what this preparation actually looks like for primary (elementary) science education in Australia. Drawing on a broader study, this paper reports on teacher educators' practices and perspectives…

This was second year's research in developing a biology learning module of ecosystem material that promotes mobile android-based local region potentials, after first year conducted a field examination on android e-module and limited testing in East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara and Sleman Regency, D.I. Yogyakarta. The second-year research…

How do scientists make inferences for something they cannot directly observe? The Black Box approach seems ideal to help students understand how scientists work. Black Boxes are sealed units; their interior is not accessible. The effort to determine their possible content (internal structure) demands successive modifications in hypothesis,…

This study was conducted in order to analyze the relation between analytical thinking skill and scientific argumentation in physics learning. The study was conducted with the interactive CK 12 simulation about optics. The sample of the study consists of 28 randomly selected students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The data was collected using pre and…
