Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui permasalahan-permasalahan terkait NOS dan argmentasi ilmiah, dalam pembelajaran IPA serta buku teks IPA yang digunakan guru dalam pembelajaran. Penilitian ini merupakan penelitin survey. Sampel yang digunakan yaitu guru IPA SMP yang tergabung dalam MGMP IPA Kota Magelang. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan kuesioner dan wawancara. Penelitian dilakukan dalam 4 tahapan yaitu 1) penyusunan indikator serta pertanyaan kuesioner dan wawancara. 2) Penyebaran kuesioner kepada guru MGMP IPA Kota Magelang, 3) wawancara dengan ketua MGMP IPA kota Magelang, 4) Analisis data. Hasil dari penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa guru IPA di kota Magelang belum mengetahui apa itu NOS, perlu dilatihkan argumentasi ilmiah karena penyampaian argumentasi belum secara ilmiah, dimana masih terkait dengan kehidupan sehari-hari, Buku teks yang digunakan dalam pembelajaran IPA adalah buku IPA Kurikulum 2013 yang diterbitkan oleh Kemendikbud. Tantangan dalam mengajar IPA SMP yaitu dari pendidikan guru yang hanya lulusan salah satu disiplin ilmu IPA saja sedangkan topik IPA yang masih sulit dikuasai oleh peserta didik yaitu pada disiplin ilmu fisika, seperti topik kalor, mekanika, kelistrikan dan kemagnetan, serta pada disiplin ilmu biologi, seperti pewarisan sifat.
Scientific literacy can prepare quality human resources who can develop the ability to think logically and creatively, solve problems, be critical, master technology and be adaptive in the face of change and face the times. A vital component to improving students' scientific literacy is understanding the Nature of Science (NoS), which must be emphasized in science learning. The purpose of this study is to obtain a comparison of content and explain aspects of NoS in science textbooks in Indonesia and Singapore. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative with content analysis design. This research focuses on science books for Junior High School Class IX Semester 1 Curriculum 2013 Revised Edition 2018, Integrated Science Books for Junior High School Class IX Curriculum 2013 Revised Edition 2018, and Lower Secondary Science Matters Textbook Volume B 2nd Edition 2013. The data collection techniques are by reviewing documents with non-test instruments in the form of observation guidelines for assessing textbooks based on the NoS aspect developed by Abd-El-Khalick et al., (2008). The data analysis technique uses the fixed comparison method by Moleong (2014). The results obtained are that the textbooks from the two countries have represented several relevant aspects of NoS. Still, the theoretically-driven elements have not been found in the three books, and the existing components have not been well described. Science textbooks in Singapore get a higher score than science textbooks in Indonesia. Still, the availability of the NoS aspect of science textbooks in Indonesia is more than that of science textbooks in Singapore.
