Rachmawati, Eka; Prodjosantoso, Anti Kolonial; Wilujeng, Insih – International Journal of Instruction, 2019
The Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS) is an educational standard used in the United States. It is also used in Indonesia because it has characteristics similar to Curriculum 2013, which is used today. This standard is adapted in science learning because it is expected to easily measure students' processing skills in a specific theme. Science…
