Analisis Hybrid Decision Support System dalam Penentuan Status Kelulusan Mahasiswa

Determination of graduation status is often faced by lecturers in every university. The facts show that many of the decisions still have a fairly high error rate in determining graduation status. This study aims to develop an analytical model in the process of determining student graduation using the Hybrid Decision Support System (DSS). The methods used in the analysis process are Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Others Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The performance of AHP can determine the value of the weight criteria and TOPSIS performs rankings to produce solutions in determining. The criteria indicators used to consist of Depth (C1), Material Breadth (C2), Answer Accuracy (C3), Fluency of Answers (C4), Scientific Attitude (C5), Logical Consistency of Content (C6), Authenticity (C7), Scientific Quality ( C8), Language (C9), and Writing (C10). The results of this study indicate that the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method provides a weighting value for each criterion with a fairly good accuracy rate of 85,86%. These results conclude that each criterion has a consistent level of relationship in determining student graduation. Based on the output of the TOPSIS analysis, the results presented can determine the student's graduation status correctly and accurately.

Effect of Problem-Based Learning Integrated Local Wisdom on Student Hots and Scientific Attitude

The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with local wisdom on Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and students' scientific attitudes. Local wisdom used is a tourist objects on the island of Lombok. The topic of learning is the interaction of living things on Senggigi Beach, Sesaot Forest, and Mount Rinjani. The research method used is quantitative with a posttest only control group design. The population of this study includes 6 classes with 172 7th grade students at SMP Negeri 16 Mataram. Samples were taken using cluster random sampling technique, class 7C became the experimental class (32 students), while class 7F became the control class (21 students). The HOTS test instrument is in the form of an essay while the student's scientific attitude instrument is in the form of an observation sheet. Statistical analysis used one-way MANOVA and analyzed using SPSS 25 application. Hypothesis test results showed differences in HOTS and students' scientific attitudes with PBL models and conventional learning. The mean of HOTS and scientific attitude in the experimental class is superior to the control class. The test of between-subjects effects for the HOTS variable and scientific attitude shows differences in HOTS and scientific attitudes due to differences in learning models. Therefore, the PBL model integrated with local wisdom has an effect on HOTS and students' scientific attitudes.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP-ORIENTED PROJECT-BASED LEARNING TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' ENTREPRENEURSHIP ATTITUDES

Science learning has potential in the nation's development efforts in terms of process. Applicative science materials can be used to develop the entrepreneurial spirit of students. However, the lack of student awareness in the application of science science has resulted in science education being only seen as science learning materials for junior high schools. Students lack the ability to have a scientific attitude that affects their entrepreneurial abilities. The purpose of this study is to determine the entrepreneurial ability of students by applying the PjBL learning model. This research is a quasi-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. The research population is the students of Science Education, Tidar University. Sampling by random method. The instrument used is a student entrepreneur response questionnaire. Data collection techniques through questionnaires. The results showed that the students' pretest results in the very low category were the highest at 43%. However, the posttest results showed progress with the highest percentage, namely the high category with a percentage of 38%. Thus, project-based learning (PjBL) has a good effect on students' interest in entrepreneurship

Students’ Reactions to Virtual Geological Field Trip to Baengnyeong Island, South Korea

In this study, we evaluated affective components of the learning processes of students after being exposed to a virtual geology field trip of the Baengnyeong Island, South Korea. Changes in students’ cognition of and interest in science and scientific attitude were measured before and after exposure to the virtual field trip. We exposed 106 middle school students to the program and our results revealed that this program had a positive impact on their scientific attitude (p value = 0.014) but no significant changes were observed in the students’ cognition of and interest in science (p value = 0.166). The significant finding from this study was that the VFT program can bring positive scientific attitude as a component of affective learning process. The affective learning process influences the cognitive learning processes and eventually the academic achievement of the students can be improved. In the students’ satisfaction survey, the highest satisfaction level was in the convenience of the program. As access to Baengnyeong island is limited, though the island is an ideal location for studying geological phenomena, the VFT can be a useful tool for instilling a positive scientific attitude in students via indirect field experience. It can be a good alternative to bridge the education gap between students with special needs who are less mobile and other students.

Scientific Attitude of Young Children through Literature and Project-Based Learning Organization

Mastery of Science Concepts Improves Scientific Attitude in Elementary School Students

Many students have low IPA abilities. Previous research stated that there are still many students who get science learning scores below the average. This study analyzes the relationship between students' scientific attitude and mastery of science concepts in fourth-grade elementary school. This type of research is quantitative research with the correlational method. The research design used is to formulate problems and determine research objectives. The subjects in this study were all students totaling 58 respondents who were taken using the cluster random sampling technique. The method used in this study discusses two variables, the independent variable is students' scientific attitude, and the dependent variable is the mastery of science concepts for grade IV elementary school. The data collection instrument in this study used measurement techniques in 15 formative questions on the dependent variable and 30 questionnaire sheets on the independent variable. Data were analyzed by parametric statistics or product-moment correlation. The results showed differences in the results of students' scientific attitude data with mastery of science concepts. The data showed that tcount was 2,431 > ttable was 1,672 at the significance level = 0.05 with the number of respondents 58 students. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between students' scientific attitudes and mastery of science concepts. Mastery of science concepts can improve students' scientific attitudes.

Sacrificing Animals in the Name of Scientific Authority: The Relationship Between Pro-Scientific Mindset and the Lethal Use of Animals in Biomedical Experimentation

The present research investigated how scientific authority increases the lethal use of animals in biomedical experimentation. In two behavioral studies ( N = 151 and 150), participants were required to incrementally administer 12 doses of a toxic chemical to a 53-cm fish (in reality, a biomimetic robot) for research on animal learning. Consistent with the Engaged Followership Theory on obedience, participants placed in a pro-scientific mindset more severely harmed the laboratory animal. In a cross-sectional study ( N = 351), participants in medical fields endorsed a more pro-scientific attitude than those in paramedical fields, which mediated their support for animal experimentation. Drawing on a representative European sample ( N = 31,238), we also confirmed the specificity of this link by controlling for potential demographic and ideological confounds. In a final study ( N = 1,598), instrumental harm was shown as mediating the link between a pro-scientific attitude and support for animal experimentation.
