Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kepraktisan dan efektivitas materi ajar fisika bermuatan authentic learning pada pokok bahasan gerak melingkar. Jenis Penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian pengembangan (R&D) dengan model ASSURE. Desain uji coba pada penelitian ini berupa one-group pretest-posttest design. Subjek uji coba pada penelitian ini ialah 27 orang peserta didik kelas X program MIPA di salah satu SMA Negeri di Banjarmasin. Teknik pengumpulan data diperoleh melalui instrumen tes dan instrument non-tes. Instrumen tes berupa tes hasil belajar pretest dan posttest peserta didik berbentuk soal essai yang meliputi level C1 hingga C5. Sementara instrumen non-tes berupa angket respon peserta didik yang ditinjau berdasarkan aspek kemudahan, aspek manfaat, dan aspek efisiensi. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menghitung rata-rata skor angket respon peserta didik untuk mengukur kepraktisan dan uji N-gain dari hasil belajar pretest-posttest untuk mengukur efektivitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa materi ajar fisika bermuatan authentic learning pada pokok bahasan gerak melingkar praktis dan efektif untuk digunakan dalam proses pembelajaran.

Scaffolded Learning

ABSTRACT With the emergence of new sets of technological tools, university students are now offered more authentic learning experiences involving real-world, complex problems and their solutions. This focus on problem-based activities and case studies has produced a learning environment that is inherently multidisciplinary. This paper reports on the development of a scaffolded learning assignment with blended components applied in an accounting subject that was taught in a cross-disciplinary setting. The assignment was developed in a sociocultural context, based on a Vygotskian approach, and this paper details its design and development. The five stages of the assignment were carefully scaffolded and included elements of individual and group tasks, finishing with an individual reflection on the process. Formative assessment and associated feedback are important elements of the scaffolding and thus the paper reports both the design and implementation of the assignment, and provides qualitative feedback from students regarding how completing the assignment enhanced their learning in accounting. The paper concludes with suggestions for further applications for the learning design of the assignment.

Abstract Background STEM identity has been shown to have a powerful role in an individual’s success in educational environments, as well as on their career goals and trajectories. Historically, however, STEM identity formation for underrepresented students has been hampered by the lack of representation of in STEM fields, which predominantly consist of white males. One educational challenge is diversifying STEM classrooms, both in terms of the students themselves and also in terms of the science and scientists they learn about. Methods We piloted a 4-credit History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science course at Michigan State University. Students were tasked with creating exhibits focused on themes of diversity and inclusion in science for a real client. Using a STEM identity survey, we assessed students’ attitudes towards the sciences, issues of diversity in science, and their sense of belonging to their educational communities. We also had the students respond to various short-answer questions throughout the semester to better understand their experiences working on a collaborative authentic learning task. Results Our results suggest that authentic learning experiences based around ideas of diversity and inclusion can help students develop sense of belonging and positive STEM identities. Students demonstrated shifts in their self-identities as scientists, focusing more on the intersection between their gender, ethnicity, and self-perception as a scientist. Through qualitative analysis of short-answer questions, we were able to ascertain that working in groups in an authentic learning environment helped the students improve their communication and collaboration skills. Conclusions Students’ increased focus on gender and ethnicity suggests that they are thinking critically about how their personal identities intersect with their scientific identities. Additional research would help us better understand if the coupling of authentic learning and inclusive teaching practices have significant impacts on the formation of students’ STEM identities.

Symbiotic Relationship

Medical education has a key role in helping to address child health and social inequality. In this paper we describe the rationale for developing a community-engaged approach to education, whereby medical schools partner with local communities. This symbiotic relationship enables medical students to experience authentic learning through working with communities to address local health and social priorities. Case studies of how such approaches have been implemented are described, with key takeaway points for paediatric healthcare professionals wanting to develop community-engaged educational initiatives.
