Practical activities in learning science often experience constraint in terms of tools, materials, places and time. These constraints hinder the acquisition of facts, concepts and theories of science. The purpose of this study was to develop a learning media in the form of virtual laboratory to teach Science (symbiotic). In developing virtual laboratory media, the steps that should be followed include defining problem, designing system, programming, testing, operational and maintenance and evaluation. This media is valid and easy to be used in learning science at primary school. The instruments used in this study were observation and questionnaires. Four grader students were involved as the subject of the study. The results of expert validation and practitioners indicated that this media is feasible and can be used in learning science. Virtual laboratory learning media enable to visualize abstract concepts of substance or events into more concrete concepts for primary school students. Interesting and concrete learning media can develop students’ interests in learning science.
This study aims to determine the effect of contextual use of animal encyclopedias in developing HOTS ability of Elementary School students. The subjects of this study were fifth grade students in 15 elementary schools in Malang Regency. The Data was collected using a test instrument consisting of indicators from C4 to C6. The design used in this study is non equivalent control group design. The results showed Animal encyclopedia contextual-based learning effect on HOTS ability of fifth grade students on 15 elementary schools in Malang Regency. The gain score test results showed that from 15 SD trials showed 11 elementary schools using contextual animal-based encyclopedias were effective in increasing students' HOTS. Contextual learning can develop students' high-level thinking skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
