Laboratory Management

Laboratorium sebagai sarana pembelajaran IPA memiliki fungsi sangat penting dalam menfasilitasi peserta didik membangun kompetensi ilmiah. Oleh karena itu diperlukan manajemen yang tepat oleh pengelola yang memiliki kompetensi. Kegiatan workshop ini dilakukan untuk memperkuat kompetensi guru dalam optimalisasi fungsi laboratorium IPA. Kegiatan dilakukan dalam bentuk ceramah-tanya jawab, diskusi, praktik laboratorium berbasis inquiry dan latihan implementasi manajemen laboratorium di laboratorium sekolah. Peserta kegiatan sebanyak 19 orang guru IPA SMP di Kota Banjarmasin dan Kabupaten Banjar. Kegiatan workshop ini mampu memperkuat pengetahuan dan keterampilan guru SMP dalam pengelolaan laboratorium dan keterampilan merancang dan melaksanakan praktikum berbasis guided inquiry serta kemampuan menerapkan hasil workshop di laboratorium IPA sekolah. Peserta workshop sangat antusias selama mengikuti kegiatan dan merasa sangat terbantu dalam mengatasi kendala dan permasalahan yang dialami guru-guru IPA di sekolah masing-masing. Perlu perluasan peserta workshop di berbagai daerah agar mampu meningkatkan peran laboratorium dalam mendukung tujuan pembelajaran IPA yang meliputi pengetahuan, sikap dan keterampilan ilmiah peserta didik.The laboratory has a very important function as a means of science learning to facilitate students to build their scientific competences. Therefore, we need proper management which is performed by the competent laboratory managers. This workshop was conducted to strengthen the teachers’ competence in optimizing the functions of a science laboratory. The workshop methods including lectures, discussions, inquiry-based laboratory practices and implementation of school’s laboratory management. The participants were 19 junior high school science teachers in Banjarmasin City and Banjar Regency. This workshop was able to strengthen teachers’ knowledge and skills in mining school’s laboratory, teachers’ skills to design and implement guided inquiry-based practicum, and teachers’ ability to apply skills in managing science laboratory. The participants appear very enthusiastic during the workshop and they felt greatly helped in overcoming many laboratory obstacles and problems. It is necessary to expand the workshop’s participants in various regions in order to increase the role of laboratories in supporting science learning objectives which include scientific knowledge, attitudes, and skills of students.

THE APPLICATION OF A COMIC STRIP, TRINITY, IN CHEMISTRY EDUCATION. Faced with obstacles encountered in lessons and the search for actions that meet current educational needs, some attention has been paid to the role of comics as instructional tool. This article focuses on the use of a comic strip, Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb, to develop knowledge and promote science learning. Three case studies were extracted from the comic and implemented to a group of pre-service chemistry teachers. A questionnaire was utilized to assess their perceptions about the usefulness of comics for their learning. One hundred percent of students indicated that comics helped improve their understanding of the nature of science. On the basis of the data, comic strips may be utilized as an acceptable educational tool in science education.

<p><em>This study aims to identify problems in learning science at home during the Covid-19 pandemic that occurred in fifth grade students at SDN Peterongan in the 2019/2020 school year. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The data sources of this study were all fifth grade students, parents, and fifth grade teachers. The data collection technique was done by using questionnaires, interviews, and documentation studies. The data validity test used in this study was technical triangulation and source triangulation. Data were analyzed using the data analysis model Miles and Huberman. The results of this study indicate that student learning problems occur due to lack of interest and motivation of students and students have difficulty understanding concepts. Only 36% of students showed interest in online science learning, and 70% of students had difficulty understanding concepts. The problems that occur are caused by several factors. Based on these factors, efforts that can be made to solve learning problems experienced by students are to increase students' interest and motivation by choosing learning methods and media that make students interested and become more active, provide enrichment and remedial, and maintain communication with parents to monitor student learning difficulties at home.</em></p>

Does context shape comprehension: evaluating the influence of presentation on inquiry strategies in science learning

Content Type

Purpose Approaches to learning have the ability to influence knowledge acquisition, comprehension, retention and even motivation to learn. Previous work indicates that despite age, experience, or prior knowledge, students have a tendency to approach learning differently as a function of the presented content. The purpose of this study is to explore how context influences student approaches to learning science. Design/methodology/approach The authors adopt a question-asking methodology to evaluate if approaches to learning the same science content vary when presented within the context of Pure Science or the History of Science. Findings Results indicate that contextualizing the presentation of science content, shifts the approaches students take in attempting to learn science content as evidenced by the questions they ask to deepen their understanding. Additional variables of prior experience with each scientific concept, task persistence at a distractor task and later recall of the presented concepts were related to different inquiry strategies. Research limitations/implications Implications for instructional design and pedagogy are discussed. Practical implications The framework in which scientific information is presented may impact how students modify existing and create a new schema, impacting their beliefs about scientific knowledge and the way in which students question, hypothesize and engage within the domain of science. Social implications By studying the role of inquiry while students engage in science learning, the authors explore the role of context, content and knowledge retention. Originality/value The current study probes at the nature of student questioning and its reliance on the content, context and its relationship to outcome variables such as learning and, perhaps, even persistence as it relates to students’ prior knowledge within content areas which may, in turn, lead to varying levels of student self-efficacy.

Role Of Parents

The child’s subjectivity means his right to build his own identity and self-fulfilment, based on his personal needs and interests, rather than on the will of adults. The influence of parents can contribute to or limit their children's subjectivity. The article points out selected conditions and opportunities for developing children’s personal dispositions in relations with parents. It also presents the results of a survey showing the effectiveness of a workshop for parents aimed at developing their competences as partners of children in double-subjective relationships.
