Cognitive Process of Pre-service Science Teachers Using Problem-based Learning on Nervous System Concepts

Cognitive Process (CP) is a mental process that occurs when a person forms new knowledge with fully conscious or unconscious actions. This study aimed to obtain an overview of the CP of students who are pre-service science teachers in learning the nervous system using a problem-based learning model. The sample of the research was 37 student pre-service science teachers, who were taking the 4th semester. Students’ CP is measured using a CP instrument that refers to Marzano’s taxonomy. Data is analyzed by looking at the average value and frequently occurring answers, then interpreting the findings with the underlying theory. The description of 4th semester pre-service students in science education on nervous system concepts shows that the ability to think in the cognitive system has not been well formed compared to the ability to believe in the metacognitive system and self-system. Based on these conditions, developing more appropriate learning strategies to develop the CP of science teacher candidates is still necessary.</p

PENGARUH PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS PROYEK (Project Based Learning) TERHADAP KECAKAPAN KOMUNIKASI SISWA PADA KONSEP BIODIVERSITAS

This study aimed to determine the effect of projectbased learning model to the communication skills of students on the concept of biodiversity. The method used is a quasi-experimental design with randomized control group only. This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 5 Kota Serang class X academic year 2011/2012. The sampling technique used in this research were cluster random sampling. Data retrieval research using the assessment presentations and reports. Results of the research is the average value of communication skills of students in the experimental class is 68.4% (good) and the control class is 45.8% (approximately). Based on t-test obtained tcount (8.545) ≥ ttable (2,002) or significance 0.002&gt; 0.05. It can be concluded that there is significant implementation project based learning model on the concept of biodiversity to the communication skills of students of SMAN 5 Serang

Development of Fructuweb “A Learning Website of Banten’s Exotic Fruits” to Support Local Potential-Based Learning in Digital Era

Teaching-learning in the 21st-century is influenced by technological advances, such as the use of online media. In addition, based on Indonesia’s curriculum requirements, teaching-learning has to utilize the local potential of the environment. This study aims to develop a Fructuweb, a learning website with Banten’s exotic fruits as content to support local potential-based learning in the digital era. A 3D research and development methodology was used comprise of define, design, and develop. The subjects for expert validation were five lecturers, and for individually user response tests were four teachers and fifteen students of 10th-grade representatives from senior high school in Serang city and Lebak district, Banten Province. Descriptive analysis were carried out to identify learning process and media need in schools at Banten, also to validate the feasibility of the website. The expert validation result has an average value of 95.1% for the content material aspect of Fructuweb and 92.7% for the media aspect;  as for the user response (student and teacher) was 93.4%. These results indicated that the Fructuweb is very feasible to use as an online learning source.</p

The Effectiveness of Scaffolding Based Virtual Class to Improve Student’s Logical Thinking Ability

The low logical thinking ability of students causes them to experience difficulties in making the reasoning of genetic concepts. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of scaffolding based virtual class to improve student’s logical thinking ability. Quasi experiment was used in this study. The population was the 4th semester students of Biology education of Faculty of Teacher Training and Education at one of University at Serang, Indonesia, Academic Year 2016/2017, taking the Genetics course. Samples were taken randomly. The student’s logical thinking ability was measured by using the Test of Logical Thinking Ability (TOLT). The students pretest results of logical thinking ability in the experimental and control classes show the same average value of 2.64 included in the transition category, whereas post test results show different values. The experimental class indicates an average grade of 6.41 and a control class of 4.13, although the average difference between the two groups is significantly different, but both still show the same category of initial formal. Based on Mann-Whitney statistical test results, there is a difference of logical thinking ability between the two treatment classes. This can be interpreted that learning by using scaffolding based virtual class is effective in improving student’s logical thinking ability.             </p

Neuroscience Studies in Self Regulated Learning for Science Teacher Candidates through Optimizing the Learning Management System (LMS) with the SPADA Feature

Online learning to anticipate the Covid-19 pandemic directly or indirectly has presented a new order in the learning aspect. One of the Learning Management System (LMS) technologies used at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University is the Sistem Pembelajaran Daring (SPADA). Several features in SPADA have been developed to help students learn independently or guided, including summary, assignment, grade, URL and activity completion. Lecturers continue to try to anticipate problems in optimizing these features. These efforts continue to experience changes and developments because the self regulated learning that is passed by each student is not the same. This is influenced by a series of brain mechanisms in processing information or known as neuroscience. Student activities related to independent learning do not only involve cognition from a series of information processing, but a series of self-knowledge information that is included in the study of abilities and metacognitive skills. In this regard, the independence of learning in this study is explained in terms of cognitive, motivational and behavioral aspects using a questionnaire instrument and interview guidelines for 32 students in the Department of Natural Sciences Education Semester V of 2020. Based on the results and discussion, it is known that the difficulty in realizing learning independence because students do not know for sure the goals to be achieved, so it is difficult to determine various strategies for achieving them. The problem of self regulated learning encourages LMS optimization steps with SPADA features based on neuroscience studies. The first thing to do is to give students the freedom to learn according to their inclinations, so the suggestion that can be conveyed is that the lecturer should know the learning style of each student before using the LMS through the SPADA feature in developing student learning independence
