Socioscientific Issues-based Textbook on the Topic of Sustainable Development Goals to Develop Prospective Teachers’ 21st Century Thinking Skills

The emergence of the 4.0 industrial revolution requires university graduates to have 21st-century thinking skills that can support them to compete globally. However, the low 21st-century thinking skills of prospective teachers in the group of ways of thinking (critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision making) make the learning process should be able to train and develop these thinking skills. One way to train prospective teachers' 21st-century thinking skills is through the textbooks used in lectures. This study aims to develop textbooks based on socioscientific issues on the topic of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study used the RD research method with ADDIE design which is composed of 5 stages: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. textbooks were applied at the implementation stage by involving second-semester prospective teachers who contract Environmental Knowledge courses. The instruments used in this study included textbook validation sheets and essay tests. The validation results were analyzed using descriptive analysis, while the essay test results were analyzed using SPSS. The results of the study showed that the socioscientific issues-based textbooks on the SDGs topic received a very good expert assessment and had met the standards of the appropriateness of the content, language, graphics, presentation, and socioscientific issues. Prospective teachers' 21st-century thinking skills in the group of the way of thinking  also improved significantly after using socioscientific issues-based textbooks. These indicated that the textbooks which have been developed were effective in practicing the 21st-century thinking skills of prospective teachers

PENALARAN ILMIAH (SCIENTIFIC REASONING) SISWA SEKOLAH BERORIENTASI LINGKUNGAN DAN SEKOLAH MULTINASIONAL

Penelitian deskriptif ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap penalaran ilmiah siswa SMP tentang masalah lingkungan. Sebanyak 115 siswa kelas 7, 8, dan 9 dari sekolah berorientasi lingkungan dan sekolah multinasional mengikuti tes penalaran ilmiah dan wawancara. Angket siswa, hasil wawancara guru, dan observasi pembelajaran juga dikumpulkan lalu dianalisis. Penalaran ilmiah dalam penelitian ini diidentifikasi melalui argumen siswa mengunakan Pola Argumentasi Toulmin (TAP) yang membagi komponen argumen menjadi claim, data, warrant, backing, dan rebuttal. Analisis argumen siswa meliputi dua aspek, yaitu kelengkapan komponen argumen dan kekuatan argumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada aspek kelengkapan komponen, sebagian besar argumen siswa di sekolah berorientasi lingkungan (80%) dan sekolah multinasional (74%) dari semua tingkat kelas hanya tersusun atas claim, data, dan warrant (level 2) tanpa adanya backing, qualifier, dan rebuttal. Sementara itu, pada aspek kekuatan argumen, sebagian besar argumen siswa di sekolah berorientasi lingkungan (48%) dan sekolah multinasional (40%) merupakan argumen yang lemah, yang berarti grounds argumennya (data, warrant, backing) tidak valid secara konsep ilmiah dan tidak relevan terhadap claim. Faktor yang berperan dalam penalaran ilmiah siswa diantaranya pertanyaan guru, kegiatan diskusi, kegiatan praktikum, pengelolaan kelas, pemahaman konsep siswa, dan program kegiatan sekolah.---------- This descriptive study aims to explore scientific reasoning of junior high school students about environmental problems. A total of 115 grade 7, 8, and 9 students from environment-oriented school and multinational school were administered scientific reasoning test and interview. In addition, students’ questionnaire, teacher’s interview, and class observation was also collected and analysed. Scientific reasoning was analysed through students’ arguments about environmental problems. Toulmin Argumentation Pattern (TAP) was used to identify the component of argumentation, which consist of claim, data, warrant, backing, qualifier, and rebuttal. Then, the analysis of students’ arguments involved two aspects: the complexity of argumentation components and the strength of argument. The result showed that in the complexity of argumentation components, most students’ arguments in environment-oriented school (80%) and multinational school (74%) from all grades were consist of claim, data, and warrant only (level 2) without backing, qualifier, and rebuttal to support their claim. Whereas in the strength of argument aspect, most students’ arguments in environment-oriented school (48%) and multinasional school (40%) were weak, which means that the ground of argument (data, warrant, backing) were not scientifically valid and support their claim. Some factors which affect to the students’ scientific reasoning were teacher’s question, discussion, experiment, class management, students’ conceptual knowledge, and school’s activity

Argumentation real-world inquiry to improve students' argumentation skill

Student teachers’ poor argumentation skill is one of the problems that should be solved. This research aims to develop an Argumentation Real-World Inquiry learning model that incorporates argumentation session on environmental, socio-scientific issues at each stage. The research subjects were the biology student teachers taking the Environmental Knowledge course. The research method used was Research and Development (R&D) which comprised 3 stages: Phase 1 (Development), Phase II (Pre-Experiment), and Phase III (Implementation and Evaluation). The data on argumentation skill were obtained from an essay that addressed the environmental, sociocultural issue about environmental pollution. The pre-experiment phase was conducted using weak experiment method and one group pretest-posttest design, while in the implementation phase, quasi experiment method and pretest-posttest control group design were used. The results of the pre-experiment stage showed that the learning model was able to increase the student teachers' argumentation skill, indicated by an increase in level 3 argumentation from 16% (pretest) to 68% (posttest) and a decrease in level 2 argumentation from 74% (pretest) to 21 % (posttest). The results of the implementation phase showed that the student teachers' argumentation skill improved, with N-Gain score of 0.307 (medium category). The results of this research indicate that the Argumentation Real-World Inquiry learning model is able to train student teachers to develop their argumentation skill on environmental, socio-scientific issues

PEMBERDAYAAN GURU BIOLOGI SE KABUPATEN BOGOR UNTUK MENINGKATKAN BUDAYA MENULIS ARTIKEL ILMIAH MELALUI BLANDED LEARNING

Salah satu bentuk dari pengembangan profesi guru adalah pengembangan kemampuan guru untuk membuat artikel ilmiah. Kemampuan ini dapat dilihat dengan mudah dari publikasi para guru yang dimuat dalam berbagai media, khususnya jurnal ilmiah. Penulisan artikel ilmiah semacam ini diyakini dapat meningkatkan kemampuan profesionalisme guru sekaligus memperbaiki kualitas pembelajaran yang disampaikannya. Beranjak dari kondisi tersebut, perlu untuk dilakukan pelatihan dan bimbingan bagi para guru untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menulis artikel ilmiah. Hanya saja proses Pelatihan yang dilakukan secara tatap muka tidak memungkinkan untuk dilakukan di masa pandemi ini. Maka pada kesempatan ini tim penelitian akan mengadakan kegiatan Pelatihan dan bimbingan Penulisan Artikel Ilmiah dengan blended learning bagi para guru, khususnya guru-guru Biologi se-Kabupaten Bogor dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan menulis artikel ilmiah guru. Pelatihan dan bimbingan penulisan artikel ilmiah dengan blended learning ternyata dapat membantu peserta mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, hal ini dibuktikan dengan peningkatan pemahaman mengenai penulisan artikel ilmiah peserta sebelum dan setelah dilakukan pelatihan dan pembimbingan. Terdapat peningkatan pemahaman penulisan artikel ilmiah pada semua indikator. Tertinggi yaitu pemahaman mengenai membuat pendahuluan (76,67%), menyusun daftar pustaka (66,67%), menyusun pembahasan (55,56%), menentukan judul dan metode (50%) dan yang terendah yaitu menyusun kesimpulan (27,76%)
