This study aims to reveal (1) the construct and (2) the characteristics of the developed instrument for assessing Physics cognitive learning achievement of high school students in outdoor learning models through local wisdom-based fieldwork. This research was a research and development using the approach developed by Mardapi (2012: 110). The steps taken included (1) preparing instrument specifications, (2) writing the instrument, (3) reviewing the instrument, (4) doing instrument trial, (5) analyzing the instrument, (6) improving the instrument, assemble the test (8) implementing the test, and (9) interpreting measurement result. The results of the study showed that the  Instrument of cognitive skills consisted of 50 items with two-tier multiple choices focused on indicators of cognitive skills. The instrument was categorized fit the PCM 1PL and the difficulty level of the items ranges from -1,00 to 1,22 which means the items were in a good category. The reliability of the items was 0,89 for the ability ranging from -2 to 2 with standard error measurement 0,23, which means it was in a very high category.

The implementation of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) based on lesson study aimed to determine its effect on the biology learning achievement of high school students. This referred to quasi-experimental research by applying CTL learning based on lesson study to the experimental class and conventional learning in the control class. The population in this study amounted to 286 students (Science X class students of SMA Negeri 2 Jember). The sample in this study was determined through homogeneity test, normality test, and random sampling to determine the control class and the experimental class. The students' affective learning achievement was analyzed by using the independent sample t-test, while their cognitive learning achievement was analyzed by using ANAKOVA test. Based on the test results of the independent sample t-test, it was found that the students' affective learning achievement differed significantly between the students in experimental class and control class. Based on the results of ANAKOVA test, it was known that the application of CTL learning based on Lesson Study has a significant effect on students' cognitive learning achievement.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan: (1) spesifikasi; (2) kelayakan; (3) keterlaksanaan; (4) efektivitas; dan (5) respon peserta didik terhadap LKPD terintegrasi karakter dengan pendekatan discovery, untuk peserta didik SMA. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dan pengembangan yang mengadaptasi model 4-D dengan tahapan define, design, develop, dan disseminate. Penilaian LKPD dilakukan oleh satu ahli media, satu ahli materi, satu guru ekonomi, dan satu teman sejawat. Uji coba produk dilakukan kepada peserta didik kelas X SMA, dengan rincian enam peserta didik  kelas X-3 SMAN 1 Kretek untuk uji coba kelompok kecil, dan 30 peserta didik kelas X-1 SMAN 1 Kretek untuk uji coba lapangan. Pengumpulan data keterlaksanaan pembelajaran dilakukan dengan pengamatan oleh dua orang pengamat, angket respon peserta didik, dan tes (post-test). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) spesifikasi LKPD terintegrasi karakter dengan pendekatan discovery berupa media cetak; (2) hasil kelayakan LKPD ditinjau dari keseluruhan aspek penilaian oleh para ahli, secara umum termasuk kategori sangat layak; (3) keterlaksanaan LKPD terintegrasi karakter dengan pendekatan discovery sebesar 84,50% dengan kategori tinggi; (4) pada pembelajaran dengan menggunakan LKPD terintegrasi karakter dengan pendekatan discovery efektif meningkatkan: a) hasil belajar peserta didik sangat baik termasuk kategori baik; b)  karakter  tanggung jawab peserta didik sangat baik, perkembangan karakter jujur termasuk dalam kategori sangat tinggi, sedangkan rata-rata perkembangan karakter disiplin termasuk kategori tinggi; dan (5) respon peserta didik  terhadap LKPD terintegrasi karakter dengan pendekatan discovery termasuk kategori sangat tinggi.Kata kunci: LKPD, pendekatan discovery, hasil belajar, pendidikan karakter DEVELOPING WORKSHEET INTEGRATING CHARACTERS USING THE DISCOVERY APPROACH IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTAbstrackThe aims of this research are to reveal: (1) specifications, (2) appropriateness; (3) feasibility; (4) effectiveness; and (5) response of the students to the worksheet integrating character with the discovery approach for high school students. This study was research and development that adapted the model of 4-D with the phases including define, design, develop, and disseminate. The assessment of worksheet was conducted by a media expert, material expert, one economics teacher and colleague. Product trials were conducted to X-grade students high school of involving: six students of class X-3 SMAN 1 Kretek for the small group trial, and 30 students of class X-1 SMAN 1 Kretek for field trials. The teaching implementation a were collected through observation by two observers, and through a questionnaire, and a test (post-test). The results of the study show that, (1) integrating worksheet characters using the discovery approach is in the form of print media; (2) the feasibility worksheet in terms of the overall aspects of assessment by experts, generally in a very high category; (3) feasibility of the worksheet is high with a score of 84.50%; (4) effectiviness of worksheet in terms of: a) the learning achievement is good and in high a category, b) the students’ character after the use of the worksheet especially the character of responsibility is in a high category, character of honesty is in a very high category, and the character of discipline is in a high category; and (5) the student’s response  to the worksheet is in a very high category.Keywords: worksheet, discovery approach, learning achievement, character educatio

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This study aims to develop a Three-tier Diagnostic Instrument on Chemical Equilibrium (TT-DICE) to diagnose high school students’ misconceptions related to this topic. TT-DICE consists of thirty items, asking for students’ answers, reasonings, and levels of confidence. Three-stages development models developed by Treagust applied in developing TT-DICE. First-stage was a literature study to analyze the main concepts and students’ misconceptions in CE. The next step is the development of the TT-DICE prototype, consisting of item development, preliminary experiments, interviews, and revisions. The third stage of validity checking starts with content validation by experts and practitioners. A field test conducted to determine the reliability and quality variables are supporting TT-DICE items. These variables are Item Validity (IV), Difficulty Level (DL), Discrimination Index (DI), and effectiveness of distractors. Content validity by validators showed that the TT-DICE is valid with a very high category (96.1%). The results of item validity show that 88.9% of the items are valid. Testing of DL, DI, and the effectiveness of distractors in general, shows a good category. The Reliability of the three-tiers TTDICE using Alpha Cronbach is a high and very high category, respectively (0.83, 0.81 &amp; 0.91). The overall validity test results also concluded if the TT-DICE is valid, reliable, and suitable to diagnose misconceptions of Chemical Equilibrium.</span></p>

What dimensions of education matter for people’s chances of surviving young adulthood? Do cognitive skills, noncognitive skills, course-taking patterns, and school social contexts matter for young adult mortality, even net of educational attainment? The authors analyze data from High School and Beyond, a nationally representative cohort of about 25,000 high school students first interviewed in 1980. Many dimensions of education are associated with young adult mortality, and high school students’ math course taking retains its association with mortality net of educational attainment. This work draws on theories and measures from sociological and educational research and enriches public health, economic, and demographic research on educational gradients in mortality that has relied almost exclusively on ideas of human capital accumulation and measures of degree attainment. The findings also call on social and education researchers to engage together in research on the lifelong consequences of educational processes, school structures, and inequalities in opportunities to learn.
