Visual thinking is essential in the development of science. Visual representations are also indispensable when scientists disseminate their findings. This paper discusses the ways that research studies on visual representations can inform science learning and teaching. I start by discussing the ways that drawings, charts and graphics represent their referents, and hence highlighting the affordances of these visual representations. Then I discuss how these affordances make visual representations a valuable tool to support science teaching in formal and informal contexts and, in particular, how learning with media graphics can support the learning of Nature of Science for scientific literacy.

Chemical bond sand intermolecular forces have abstract characteristics. Thepresence of technology in learning media can help students understand theconcept. The learning media in question can be in the form of an androidbasedinteractive e-module that provides convenient accessibility for users. Topresent the atmosphere of science learning, the e-module can be structuredwith the orientation of the Nature Of Science. This research and developmentaims to produce an android-based interactive e-module prototype with thenature of science oriented on chemical bonding and intermolecular forcessubject material to foster students' scientific literacy. This type of researchand development study was carried out with the Nieven development modelwhich consisted of 4 stages: (1) preliminary research stage, (2) prototypingstage ,(3) summative evaluation stage, and (4) systematic reflection anddocumentation stage. However, due to limited resources, this study wascarried out until summative evaluation. With the presentation formula andwith the categories, the results of expert validation obtained an averagepresentation of 90% with very feasible categories, and practical test resultson chemistry teachers obtained avalue of 95% with very feasible categoriesand the results of limited group trials obtained 85% with very decentcategory. Therefore, it can be concluded that the interactive e-moduleprototype that developed is very feasible and can be proceed to abroaderstage in fostering students' literacy skills.

Preservice Science Teachers

Purpose: The Nature of Science (NOS) is an important component of scientific literacy. Science teachers’ Views of the Nature of Science (VNOS) directly affect their teaching behaviors. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore science teachers’ VNOS and find ways of improvement. This study was designed to comparatively investigate preservice science teachers’ VNOS between China and Canada. Design/Approach/Methods: The study employed a survey design to explore how Chinese and Canadian preservice science teachers understood the seven different aspects of NOS. Findings: Data showed that preservice science teachers in China and Canada both hold a modern view about science education. The level of Chinese and Canadian participants’ understanding of NOS was above the relatively naive level. Chinese teachers had better macro-understanding toward science education but their micro-mastery was insufficient. While the Canadian participants had a better understanding of the NOS than their Chinese counterparts. Originality/Value: Based on the research results and the experience of science education and teacher education in Canada, we suggested that there is a need to reconstruct the preservice science teacher education curriculum in China and promote the transformation in the science teacher educational system.

Academic Year

Several previous studies have shown that students have difficulty integrating ethnoscience into science learning. Students are more likely to be introduced to the basic concepts of ethnoscience without involving how to integrate ethnoscience into science learning. The impact is that students’ scientific literacy is low. This is what underlies researchers to apply the Local Wisdom Integrated Science (LWIS) learning model by using local Madurese content to train students’ scientific literacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in student scientific literacy after implementing the LWIS learning model in ethnoscience learning with local Madurese content. The method used was pre-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. When the study was carried out in the even semester of the 2019/2020 academic year by taking 22 students via purposive sampling technique as a sample of all students in class 6A of science education, Trunojoyo University, Madura. Analysis of data using descriptive statistics and paired sample t test. The results showed that there were different in the scientific literacy of the students using the LWIS learning model before and after studying ethnoscience with local Madurese material. The entire LWIS syntax helps train students' scientific literacy by including self-awareness of the importance of local Madurese content as a learning context. Ethnoscience can be integrated into science learning through the STEAM approach. The contribution of STEAM to the LWIS learning model and self-awareness is very significant in developing ethnoscience learning for local Madurese content from elementary, middle, and tertiary level.

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to know the influence of learning method and cognitive style to students' science learning outcomes, especially in science subjects for elementary students. The research method used in this research is experiment with design treatment by level 2x2. The findings of this study indicate that: (1) there is a significant effect difference between the experimental learning method and the learning method of demonstration on the students' science learning outcomes. This can be proven from sig 0.000 <0.05 and F0 = 18.72; (2) There is no significant effect between cognitive style on students' learning outcomes. This can be proven from sig. 0.104> 0.05 and F0 2.737; (3) There is no interaction effect between learning method and student's cognitive style on science learning outcomes. It is marked by the sig value. for learning method and cognitive style 0.937> 0.05 and F0 =0.006.

Basic Ideas

Nature of Science is an integral part of scientific literacy which researchers and international policy-making institutions highlight as the purpose of science education. The notions of scientific law, theories and models are crucial for understanding the Nature of Science. These notions are better grasped in the historical context of Nature of Science.  For this purpose, appropriate instructional sequences, based on semi-structured interviews, were designed and implemented to investigate whether and how the student teachers of Primary Education can perceive these concepts. The study revealed that after particular difficulties were confronted, student teachers were able to grasp firmly the notions of scientific law, theories, models and the relationships among them.

Insight Into

School science aspires for students to develop conceptual, procedural and nature of science understandings as well as developing scientific literacy. Issues and complexities surrounding the development of science curriculum for Indigenous schools in New Zealand is a concern as little is known about these aspects of science learning in wharekura (Māori Indigenous School). This paper draws upon the findings of an empirical study to address the call for research into effective practices for supporting Indigenous students in learning science. The study is part of a larger project investigating and extending our understanding about how New Zealand teachers’ conceptualise science and science inquiry (investigation). Two Māori teachers participated in the research as well as their class who were supported by two researchers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers. This research reports the findings of how participating teachers’ conceptualise science inquiry and describes their perceptions of how and why their students should learn science and science inquiry. The paper also presents teachers’ views about their own development as science teachers and suggests two models to address the issue of science teaching in wharekura.
