“…The challenging geographical range of the islands, the quality of teachers, including the incomplete science learning facilities and infrastructure, are still factors that constrain learning in such areas. As a result, learning is still done traditionally (Lemmer et al, 2020), which encourages the formation of misconceptions (Kaltakci-Gurel et al, 2017) and inert knowledge (Trench & Minervino, 2017). In addition, the learning environment has not been neatly organized and is directed as well as possible to encourage elementary students' creative thinking.…”

“…Where in the system, elements of student knowledge are still small and weakly structured, which arise from observations and experiences in everyday life. Although students knowledge is fragmented, productive resources in the element of students' intuitive knowledge can serve as a conceptual seed to develop the concepts of learning science (Lemmer et al, 2020).…”

Learning that encourages the development of students’ creative thinking needs to be maximized since the level of primary education, including in the disadvantaged, outermost, and frontier regions that is referred to 3T areas (terdepan, terluar, tertinggal) in Indonesia is still categorized as underdeveloped that requires special attention. The main objective of this research was to diagnose students’ creative thinking skills for four components including fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration on students in the islands. The study was conducted on 161 students sitting in fourth grade from 6 elementary schools. The unique thing why this research was conducted because the research location was one of the Maluku Islands, which has abundant sea, air and land in terms of natural resources and is one of the areas that borders directly with Australia, so it can be predicted students’ creative thinking skills will be good. However, the analysis results report that students’ creative thinking skills were still very low and thus require comprehensive learning improvement to improve students’ creative thinking skills. It was hoped that good creative thinking skills of students will support better regional development in the future.

“…The emphasis of Physics teaching research should no longer be on the compilation of a list of misconceptions that have to be remedied or replaced, but on the conceptual connections pupils make and their associative reasoning patterns. It is still up to the teacher to use the complex systems perspective as a framework to facilitate pupils' conceptual development and understanding, building on their existing knowledge systems (Lemmer et al, 2018). Pupils use several epistemological resources to decide on the accuracy of their data, including accuracy via following the right procedure and accuracy via what their classmates find.…”

The objective of this work was the theoretical modeling of a construct based on teaching practice about the perception that pupils have of difficulties in problem solving (PS) in experimental sciences, specifically physics, to predict pupil performance in PS. The research was carried out with an incidental sample of second year of secondary education pupils, of 13 to 14 years in age. The pupils and their teachers were involved in a project in which PS, classroom inquiry, and Hooke’s law were considered to be central. The information collection instrument was a Likert type questionnaire to investigate the various difficulties perceived by the pupils (Knowledge, Trust, Path, Interest,…) in the problem-solving processes applying Hooke’s law. A theoretical model was estimated and not rejected that involved only one factor (a PS factor), with all of its variables strongly interrelated and a set of constraints represented by covariances between theoretical hidden variables. This model is a starting point from which to understand how pupils at this level perceive PS in experimental sciences.

“…The analysis of the literature reveals a number of non-scientific ideas concerning the concept of magnet (Bar, Zinn & Rubin, 1997;Burgoon, Heddle & Duron, 2011;Gülçiçek, 2004;Hickey & Schibeci, 1999;Lemmer, Kriek & Erasmus, 2018;Smolleck & Hershberger, 2011;Tanel & Erol, 2005). Several studies focused on students' opinions about the interaction between a magnet and a material.…”
