SCIENCE TEACHING IMPROVEMENT IN JAPAN: THE THREE STEPS OF CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING
Constructivist learning (CL), although the basic principles of the theory have been developed for years, has recently become a prominent approach in teaching and learning science. The implementation of the theory in schools, however, is still problematic: how to implement the constructivist learning theory into practice? What are the results of the implementation of CL? This paper reflects the practices and the results of the constructivist learning approach in Japan as a part of the JICA training experiences
PENGENALAN SAINS UNTUK ANAK TK DENGAN PENDEKATAN “OPEN INQUIRY”
Indeed there is no science as an exclusive subject matter in the current kindergarten’s curricullum; however, it does not mean that there is no science in kindergarten. It does and it is integrated to almost all themes constitute the curriculum. Science in kindergarten is considered important to develop the very beginning of a scientific way of thinking, that is logic, based on data/reality, and using a causal-effect relationship. Kindergarten teacher should be very carefull in intrducing science to young children since their reasoning is still syncretic and they frequently use magical causality

Character Discourse Between Students and School Teachers in YOGYAKARTA Special Province in Indonesia
: One of the critical points in character education in schools is the perception of good and bad characters between students and teachers. If there is a discourse on the perception, then there will be misleading on the character building in the classroom. The students who perceive that they do have good attitudes and perform good characters might be judged by the teacher as bad students. On the contrary, the teachers who believe that they have good attitudes and perform good characters might be considered by the students as disliked teachers. This survey research was conducted in 6 middle schools in Yogyakarta Special Province, involving 120 students and 120 teachers. The instrument of the research was mainly questionnaires consisting of three main groups of characters, namely performance, attitude, and behavior. Data were analyzed descriptively using a percentage. Inter-rater agreement analysis was administered to know the character admiration and discourse. The results indicate that there are some discourses between the students and the teachers on the behaviors, performance, and attitudes
PENGEMBANGAN SEKOLAH BERTARAF INTERNASIONAL MELALUI ORGANISASI BELAJAR: KONSEP DAN IMPLEMENTASI
Indonesian Government, putting into action the Educational System Law, is starting its efforts this year to develop schools to reach international standard schools (SBI). The Educational System Law (2003), specifically act number 20, states that “The government and/or district develop at least one school in every level to be promoted into an international standard school (SBI)”. That act arises many questions in the school level concerning the international standards school (SBI), such as what is SBI, what is the main goal, what is the requirement of schools to be promoted as SBI, how can schools develop themselves to reach SBI, what is the criterion of the success? Indeed, there are many ways for schools to develop themselves into an international level. Every school may use a different way that suitable to the school’s condition. This paper brings to mind the Learning Organization (LO) as one of the generic promising ways to develop a school into an international level. LO is basically an organization that learns and does continuously improvement. LO comprises of five major components: (1) shared vision, (2) system thinking, (3) personal mastery, (4) mental models, and (5) team learning. Besides, there are five subsystems where those components should be developed in LO: (1) learning, (2) knowledge, (3) technology, (4) people, dan (5) organization.

Systematic Literature Review: Multiple-tier Diagnostic Instruments in Measuring Student Chemistry Misconceptions
Misconception is a conception of someone who is not by scientific concepts recognized by experts. One way to identify students' misconceptions is by conducting tests using diagnostic instruments. This study aims to identify misconceptions in chemistry learning as well as the most widely used types of multiple-tier diagnostic instruments. The research method used is a systematic literature review (SLR) by analyzing relevant research results from the Google Scholar and ERIC databases of 47 articles based on their suitability with the research theme within the last seven years (2016-2022). The systematic literature review method reviews articles systematically by following the steps that have been determined. The research findings show that students' misconceptions mostly occur in the buffer solution material with the most widely used diagnostic instrument, namely the three-tier multiple-choice (50%). The dominant cause of students' chemical misconceptions occurs due to students' internal factors in the form of a mismatch between students' preconceptions and the concepts taught by experts and strategies for applying learning models that are often used as a method to reduce students' chemical misconceptions such as the application of the Dual Situated Learning Model (DSLM) as well as implementing the Elicit, Confront, Identify, Resolve, Reinforce (ECIRR) model
