The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of interdisciplinary approach-based energy instruction on pre-service science teachers’ academic achievement and conceptual understanding regarding the concept of energy. To this end, the current study was designed as a quasi-experimental study in line with the pretest-posttest control group design. The activities related to the concept of energy were conducted by using the interdisciplinary approach and the same activities were conducted by using the methods and techniques based on the existing approaches. A total of 66 pre-service science teachers participated in the study lasting for 10 weeks. In the analysis of the data, ANOVA/Post Hoc Test was used. As a result of the study, it was found that the use of the interdisciplinary instructional approach in teaching the concept of energy increased the pre-service teachers’ academic achievement and conceptual understanding more than the traditional approaches. Thus, it can be suggested that during the instruction of the energy concept, the features of this concept should be taught in a certain developmental order and the interdisciplinary approach should be used in the activities conducted to teach this concept.

The purpose of this study is to describe the application of Focus, Explore, Reflect, and Apply (FERA) learning model in improving science process skills for a pre-service science teacher in primary school. The stages of learning using the FERA learning model consist of four stages, namely focus, explore, reflect, and apply. The sample of this study was the students in the Primary School Teacher Education Study Program at STKIP Sebelas April Sumedang. This research was conducted using Quasy-Experimental method with Non-equivalent Control Group Design. The effectiveness of the treatment was obtained by giving the pretest and posttest to each class one time. The research data was processed by analyzing N-gain, normality test, and average difference using the Wilcoxon and Man Withney U tests. The results showed that the experimental class and the control class had significant mean differences between the science process skills data on pretest and posttest. This shows that learning using the FERA model is more effective in improving science process skills for pre-service primary school science teachers.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the Context-Based Approach (CBA) enriched by Prediction–Observation–Explanation (POE) on 5th grade students’ conceptual understanding of the States of Matter, Heat and Temperature. In this study, quantitative and qualitative data collection methods were employed. The quantitative element used a quasi-experimental design involving a non-equivalent pretest–posttest control group. This research was performed with a total number of 38 (N control group = 18, N experimental group = 20) 5th grade students (aged 10 to 11 years) in a school in a village located in the East Blacksea region in the 2016–2017 academic year. In the study, a two-tier concept questionnaire entitled ‘the States of Matter, Heat and Temperature (SMHTQ)’ and a semi-structured interview were used as data collection tools. In the experimental group, the topics were taught using the CBA enriched with the POE strategy while in the control group the topics were taught using the 5E teaching model (Engage–Explore–Explain–Elaborate–Evaluate) of the constructivist approach. The results indicated that the CBA enriched with the POE strategy was more effective in improving students’ conceptual understanding and reducing students’ alternative concepts than the 5E teaching model on the States of Matter, Heat and Temperature concepts. The results of the study provided helpful information for science teachers and researchers in science/chemistry education since the teaching materials used enriched the learning environment. Similar studies can be applied to different and wider sample groups and concepts.

This study aims to determine the influence of the guided inquiry model and problem-based learning on the conceptual understanding of class VII A and VII K students of State Tsanawiyah Madrasa (MTs N) 3 Sragen on environmental pollution material. This research is a quasi-experimental research with a non equivalent control group design. After being treated with the guided inquiry model, the average of students' learning outcomes was 89.5, while the problem-based learning model was 88.3. To prove that there is an effect of the two models on students' conceptual understanding, a paired sample t-test was conducted, in which the two classes showed a significance <0.05 so that H1 was accepted or H0 was rejected. Its means that the two models influence students' conceptual understanding of environmental pollution material. The guided inquiry model in this study has a higher impact than problem-based learning. These results are also supported by the N-Gain score on the guided inquiry model, which is higher than the problem-based learning model with scores of 0.67 and 0.53, respectively. Both N-Gain scores are in the “medium” improvement category.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using a 5Es learning model on the pre-service science teachers? conceptual understanding and science process skills for ?gases and gas laws?. The sample of the study consisted 49 pre-service science teachers enrolled for the ?Science Laboratory Practices-I? course within the department of science education of a Turkish state university. Through a quasi-experimental research method (pre- and post- -test research design), an experimental group was exposed to the 5Es learning model (engage-explore-explain-elaborate-evaluate) with different conceptual change methods/techniques (i.e., worksheets, computer animations, analogies and experiments). A control group was also taught through existing instruction (e.g., experiments, lecture and question?answer). Data were collected through the gas laws test and the science process skills test. The results of partial eta squared (?2) revealed large-size effects for the control (0.61) and experimental groups (0.73). The 5Es learning model was more effective than the existing instruction in overcoming the pre-service science teachers? alternative conceptions of ?gases and gas laws?, as well as in improving their science process skills. The current study recommends that the 5Es learning model be tested with a larger sample throughout a long-term teaching intervention.
