The analysis of differences in structure of Natural Science High School students' science learning motivation in terms of school year and gender

This research examined longitudinal trajectories of Korean students’ motivation to learn science using group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM). The changes in five motivational constructs were focused in this research: self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, grade motivation, self-determination, and career motivation. In addition, the relationship between academic track of students and each trajectory group was examined. Using Science Motivation Questionnaire II, data from 255 male high school students were collected during five semesters. Longitudinal data were analyzed by GBTM.. Chi-square analysis was also conducted to examine the relationships between academic track and each trajectory. As a result, it was found that students shared the same trajectory patterns in self-efficacy. Otherwise, two distinct trajectory groups (‘high’ and ‘low’) were found in each four constructs. There were significant correlations between academic track and trajectory groups. The findings of this research suggest that Korean science educators need to consider individual student’s longitudinal trajectory of motivation to provide better science teaching and learning. Keywords: academic track, group based trajectory modeling, high school, longitudinal study, science learning motivation.

In this study, investigation of level of problematic internet use and psychological symptoms of 538 science high school students reciving education in Van and Izmir cities was aimed. At the same time, it was examined that according to being day or boarding student and gender whether the level of problematic internet use and psychological symptoms of students differ or not. The data collected eith Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and Problematic Internet Use Adolscent Form (PIU-A). Data analysis was carried out through SPSS 15.00 statistical package programme. In analysis Spearman Brown correlation coefficient and Mann Whitney U test were used. According to obtained findings, there was stastistically significant and positive relationship between problematic internet use and psychological symptoms of science high school students. Negative self and somatization socres of day students were higher than broading students. It was found that the level of problematic internet use of boarding students were higher than boarding students. According to gender, it was found that females had higher score than males on four subscale of BSI (anxiety, depression, negative self and somatization) and males had higher score than females on social benefits subscale of PIU-A. Obtained results were discussed in the light of related literature and suggestions were offered. ÖzetBu çalışmada, Van ve İzmir illerinde öğrenim gören 538 fen lisesi öğrencisinin problemli internet kullanım düzeyleri ile psikolojik semptomları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Aynı zamanda problemli internet kullanımının ve psikolojik semptomların öğrencilerin yatılı, gündüzlü olma durumu ile cinsiyet değişkenine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı da incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri Kısa Semptom Envanteri (KSE) ve Problemli İnternet Kullanımı Ölçeği-Ergen (PİKÖ-E) formu ile toplanmıştır. Veri analizi SPSS 15.00 istatistik paket programı aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizlerde non-parametrik yöntemlerden Spearman Brown Korelasyon Katsayısı ve Mann Whitney U testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, fen lisesi öğrencilerinin problemli internet kullanım düzeyleri ile psikolojik semptomları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde pozitif yönde ilişki olduğu, yatılı öğrencilerin olumsuz benlik ve somatizasyon puanlarının gündüzlü öğrencilerden, gündüzlü öğrencilerin problemli internet kullanım düzeylerinin yatılı öğrencilerden daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Cinsiyete göre ise, KSE’nin dört alt boyutunda (anksiyete, depresyon, olumsuz benlik ve somatizasyon) kız öğrencilerin puanlarının erkek öğrencilerden, erkek öğrencilerin PİKÖ-E’nin sosyal fayda alt boyutundan aldığı puanların kız öğrencilerden daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar ilgili literatür ışığında tartışılarak öneriler sunulmuştur.

This study aimed to identify the metacognitive awareness of high school students in natural science learning based on gender. This research is a descriptive study with a sample of 24 students. Data on students' metacognition awareness was collected using the Metacognition Awareness Inventory (MAI) which was analyzed descriptively and statistically. The results showed that students' metacognitive awareness was categorized as good enough (1.33 < MA ≤ 2.33) and low (MA ≥ 1.33). Students' metacognition awareness was not significantly different in terms of gender (p> 0.05). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that metacognitive awareness needs to be improved through good interventions in learning. Student gender differences need to be investigated further using a larger sample to obtain more relevant and comprehensive data on metacognitive awareness

ABSTRACT Parents are the most influential figure in the life of every child. Parental involvement in the learning process can also affect the process of life is huge in children. In addition, the teachers and the learning environment in schools can also influence the motivation to learn so that students can master the student's mastery of concepts in science lessons in schools, especially physics known as a difficult subject among junior high school students. Therefore teachers and learning environments should be supportive atmosphere so that students more motivated to follow the lessons of Natural Sciences. The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in student motivation by using STEM-based science learning. This study uses a quantitative research with the participation of as many as 28 students of class VIII-5 on one of the Junior High School in Bandung. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire on aspects of learning motivation Need for Achievement, Need for Power aspects, and aspects of the Need for Affiliation. The results showed that the students' motivation to learn the most improved there on aspects Need for Power showed an increase by a margin of 3.53 and an average pretest and posttest of 0.89. It can be concluded that the application of STEM-based science learning can increase students' motivation. Solutions to increase learning motivation towards science subjects can use based learning Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Keywords: Motivation; STEM.
