Article history Student teachers' poor argumentation skill is one of the problems that should be solved. This research aims to develop an Argumentation Real-World Inquiry learning model that incorporates argumentation session on environmental, socio-scientific issues at each stage. The research subjects were the biology student teachers taking the Environmental Knowledge course. The research method used was Research and Development (R&D) which comprised 3 stages: Phase 1 (Development), Phase II (Pre-Experiment), and Phase III (Implementation and Evaluation). The data on argumentation skill were obtained from an essay that addressed the environmental, sociocultural issue about environmental pollution. The preexperiment phase was conducted using weak experiment method and one group pretest-posttest design, while in the implementation phase, quasi experiment method and pretest-posttest control group design were used. The results of the pre-experiment stage showed that the learning model was able to increase the student teachers' argumentation skill, indicated by an increase in level 3 argumentation from 16% (pretest) to 68% (posttest) and a decrease in level 2 argumentation from 74% (pretest) to 21% (posttest). The results of the implementation phase showed that the student teachers' argumentation skill improved, with N-Gain score of 0.307 (medium category). The results of this research indicate that the Argumentation Real-World Inquiry learning model is able to train student teachers to develop their argumentation skill on environmental, socio-scientific issues.

STEM learning is a new innovation in 21st century education. The ability to solve problems is important for students to learn to be able to solve environmental problems. The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of STEM on the ability to solve problems on the topic of environmental change. The method used in this research is Quasi Experiment. The sample used in this study was students at high school (SMAN) 4 Cibinong, Bogor Regency. The results of this study indicate that the instrument is valid and reliable. The results of the hypothesis test show that t-count > t-table which can be interpreted that the score there is an effect of lesson study-based Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning on students' problem-solving abilities on Environmental Change topic. Environmental Education plays an important role in shaping students' problem-solving skills. STEM-based learning in this case must prioritize solving environmental problems that are integrated with environmental education. The conclusion from this study is that STEM learning has an impact on students' problem-solving abilities
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan persepsi guru terhadap implementasi kurikulum 2013 dalam kegiatan pembelajaran biologi. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 12 orang guru biologi Madrasah Aliyah di Kota Bogor yang ditentukan dengan teknik purposive sampling. Data tentang persepsi guru dijaring melalui kuesioner dan wawancara. Data yang dikumpulkan selanjutnya dianalisis dengan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua partisipan (100%) menyetujui adanya implementasi kurikulum 2013 disekolah serta mengakui tentang kelebihan yang terdapat dalam kurikulum 2013, namun hanya sebagian (50%) dari partisipan yang mampu menerapkannya dalam kegiatan pembelajaran secara konsisten. Hal ini disebabkan karena partisipan mengalami kesulitan dalam merancang RPP dan penilaian berdasarkan kurikulum 2013, serta kesulitan dalam melaksanakan proses penilaian pada aspek kognitif, psikomotor, dan afektif, sehingga partisipan juga mengalami kesulitan dalam menyusun rapor kurikulum 2013. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa sosialiasi dan pelatihan tentang kurikulum 2013 saja belum cukup, tetapi perlu adanya program pendampingan yang konsisten terhadap guru-guru sehingga mereka dapat mengimplementasikan kurikulum 2013 dalam proses belajar mengajar secara konsisten.Kata kunci: Persepsi Guru, Kurikulum 2013, Pembelajaran BiologiABSTRACTThis study aimed to describe teachers' perceptions of the implementation of the curriculum 2013 in biology learning activities. This study used a descriptive method. The research samples consisted of 12 biology teachers of Madrasah Aliyah in Bogor City which was determined by purposive sampling technique. Data on teachers' perceptions were collected by questionnaires and interviews. The data collected then analyzed by descriptive analysis. The results showed that all participants (100%) approved that the implementation of the curriculum 2013 in school and acknowledged the advantages of curriculum 2013, but only some of the participants (50%) were able to apply it in a biology learning activity consistently. This was because participants have difficulty in designing lesson plan and assessment based on the curriculum 2013, as well as difficulties in carrying out the assessment process on cognitive, psychomotor and affective aspects so that participants also have difficulty in preparing students' report. These findings indicated that the socialization and training on the curriculum 2013 were not enough, but there needs to be a consistent mentoring program for teachers so that they can implement the curriculum 2013 in the learning process consistently.Keywords: Teachers' Perception, Curriculum 2013, Biology Learning
The emergence of the 4.0 industrial revolution requires university graduates to have 21st-century thinking skills that can support them to compete globally. However, the low 21st-century thinking skills of prospective teachers in the group of ways of thinking (critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision making) make the learning process should be able to train and develop these thinking skills. One way to train prospective teachers' 21st-century thinking skills is through the textbooks used in lectures. This study aims to develop textbooks based on socioscientific issues on the topic of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study used the RD research method with ADDIE design which is composed of 5 stages: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. textbooks were applied at the implementation stage by involving second-semester prospective teachers who contract Environmental Knowledge courses. The instruments used in this study included textbook validation sheets and essay tests. The validation results were analyzed using descriptive analysis, while the essay test results were analyzed using SPSS. The results of the study showed that the socioscientific issues-based textbooks on the SDGs topic received a very good expert assessment and had met the standards of the appropriateness of the content, language, graphics, presentation, and socioscientific issues. Prospective teachers' 21st-century thinking skills in the group of the way of thinking also improved significantly after using socioscientific issues-based textbooks. These indicated that the textbooks which have been developed were effective in practicing the 21st-century thinking skills of prospective teachers.
