An investigation of prospective science teachers' socio-scientific argumentation processes in terms of metacognition: A causal-comparative study

This study attempts to investigate through causal-comparative research whether socio-scientific argumentation processes of prospective science teachers (PSTs) who had high and low socio-scientific argumentation skills differed from each other in terms of metacognition. The research was conducted with a total of 45 PSTs, 24of whom had high socio-scientific argumentation skills, and 21 had low socio-scientific argumentation skills. Data were gathered using qualitative and quantitative methods. Research results indicated that the PSTs with high socio-scientific argumentation skills displayed more metacognitive behaviors when compared to the PSTs with low socio-scientific argumentation skills and that they used more metacognitive strategies with regard to many components such as planning, decision-making, evaluation, monitoring, and organizing. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference was detected between the scores of the PSTs' metacognitive awareness skills in favor of the PSTs with high socio-scientific argumentation skills. These results demonstrated that the two groups with different socio-scientific argumentation skills differed from each other in terms of metacognition and that the PSTs with high socio-scientific argumentation skills were better in regard with metacognition.

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to find out whether the interjection “ondeh” with a certain pitch contour carries signals of different attitudes and emotions and to describe the tone contour of interjection “ondeh” with certain attitudes and emotions. This research combines qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative method is applied in description and analysis, while quantitative method is only used to calculate the frequency of the tone and perception test results. The data was obtained through the process of sound recording of several informants who are native speakers of Minangkabau language. The findings show that the interjection “ondeh” with a certain intonation contours carries signals of different attitudes and emotions. Those attitudes and emotions are feeling amazed, shocked and upset. Interjection “ondeh” of amazed shows a significant difference in duration between syllable on and deh. The duration of the syllable deh tends to be much longer than the duration of the syllable on. The same thing is also found in interjection “ondeh” showing upset. However, speakers tend not to pronounce the sound [on] so that the sounds heard are just [deh] when they are upset. Furthermore, the emotion of surprised is shown with tone on syllable on which tends to be higher when compared to the one of amazed and upset. Finally, context of the sentence is also very influential in determining signal of certain attitudes and emotions.Key words: prosodic features, interjection, emotion ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujan untuk untuk mencari tau apakah interjeksi ondeh dengan kontur nada tertentu membawa sinyal sikap dan emosi yang berbeda dan untuk mendeskripsikan kontur nada interjeksi ondeh dengan sinyal sikap dan emosi tertentu.

Kinship care as a formal placement option has been steadily increasing over recent years, particularly in New South Wales. This paper draws on a report of research on kinship care in New South Wales, in which the two authors participated (Mason et al, 2002). In conducting the research, qualitative and quantitative methods were used to explore both ‘top down’ perspectives (from policy documents and statistics) and ‘bottom up’ perspectives (from child protection practitioners and those who experience policy as service recipients – kinship carers, young people in kinship care and parents of children in kinship care).In this paper we briefly outline the research and discuss findings relating to definitions of kinship care, the extent of kinship care in NSW, decision making around the placement of children in kinship care, reasons given by participants for kinship care, and support for carers.
