It begins with presenting the background and significance of the development of scientific competence of learners. It presents the definition and importance of learning progression, BEAR assessment system and the case study of the application of the BEAR assessment system in the development and evaluation of scientific argumentation, one of components of scientific competency. This article discusses how to apply information from learning progression in curriculum development, teaching, and assessment. Keywords:  Learning progression, Science competency, Assessment for learning, BEAR assessment syste

The development of molecular genetics concept test for senior high school students using Rasch analysis

Developing a high-quality test item requires substantial time and effort. A well-developed item bank is conducted using rigorous development and validation procedures. This study aimed to describe the development process of molecular genetics concept test (MGCT) for senior high school students using Rasch analysis under Berkeley evaluation and assessment research (BEAR) assessment system framework. The test consists of 50 multiple-choice items to assess conceptual understanding of molecular genetics concepts. The MGCT was developed based on curriculum analysis from the Indonesian ministry of education and culture and content-validated by three content experts comprising an expert in biology, an expert in bioinformatics, and an experienced Indonesian biology teacher in a senior high school. The MGCT was then piloted to 114 students who had taught the molecular genetics unit from a senior high school to conduct the empirical validation. The results from Rasch analysis showed that the MGCT is acceptable because all items have outfit and infit mean-square values in the acceptable range of 0.7 to 1.3 and the reliability is 0.43. So, the MGCT can be used to assess the understanding of the molecular genetics concept. However, several items were too difficult to discriminate the student ability. So, future studies need to develop more this MGCT to get a more appropriate instrument

Integrating Technology into Project-based Learning in a Science Curriculum Development Course

This study examines the integration of technology in the project-based learning (PBL) environment of a science curriculum development course in a university in Bangkok, Thailand. Fifteen pre-service science teachers in a master’s degree science education program participated in the study to create a variety of projects using technology as a learning tool. Each student had the opportunity to select the technology for their own project. The results showed that the students exhibited the ability to choose and apply appropriate technologies to grow their understanding of science curriculum development through project creation. The results produced strong evidence of the students’ problem-solving skills and collaborative capacities

The Ways to Promote Pre-service Science Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Inquiry in Learning Management in Science Course

This classroom action research aimed to study the ways to promote pre-service science teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge for inquiry (PCK for inquiry). The participants were 37 students who enrolled in Learning Management in Science course in academic year 2014. Multiple data sources including students’ lesson plans, reflective journals, teacher’s logs, and worksheets were collected. The inductive approach was used to analyze data. The findings revealed the ways to promote pre-service science teachers’ PCK for inquiry consisted of being teacher’s explicit role model ; providing students to reflect their practices that link between their knowledge and understandings ; reflection from video case ; collaboration between students and teacher in learning activities planning, and allowing students to practice in actual situation could be better influence students not only reflect their understandings but also design, and teach science through inquiry

Teaching and learning about matter in Grade 6 classrooms: a conceptual change approach

The purpose of this study was to enhance the teaching and learning of matter and its properties for grade 6 students. The development of a conceptual change approach instructional unit was undertaken for this purpose. Pre- and post-concept surveys, classroom observations, and student and teacher interviews were used to collect data. The teaching activities not only challenged and encouraged students’ conceptual change but also indicated that teachers needed to develop their content knowledge and teaching strategies. The participants developed more scientific conceptions and were able to apply these in appropriate contexts. This study illustrates how a conceptual change approach can be accomplished in the Thai context
