Developing Scientific Attitudes Instrument of Students in Chemistry

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the attitude instrument which will be used to asses the scientific attitudes in chemistry classes in High School in Parepare. The research will provide informations to identificate student scientific attitudes. Scientific attitudes in this paper consist of scientific attitude indicators. They are curiosity, honesty, objectifity, perseverence, conscientious, openness, being critical, and being responsible. The instrument evaluation is done by testing it to high school student to get its validity and realibility. The instrument has 8 aspects with 32 statements. The analysis result shows that Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin (KMO) indicator is 0.922. The Measure of Sampling Adequancy (MSA) in anti image correlation indicates that all of variables is greater than 0.5 which allows the data to be analysed further. The amount of variance and variable that can be explained by the factors forms 6 factors and cumulative variance 61,884%. The 32 items in the instrument, 26 items are fulfill the 6 factors. The Realibility of all items using Cronbach Alpha coefficient is 0.948. The analysis denotes that the instrument can be used to measure the student scientific attitudes in chemistry class with 26 items and 6 factors. The results of the analysis show that the instrument can be used to measure students’ scientific attitudes on chemistry learning with the number 26 and 6 factors formed.

Profile of Students’ Scientific Attitudes Through Practicum Activities Using Student E-Worksheet Based Chemicals at Home

“…Hence, that is important to develop students' scientific attitudes because it would affect students' spirit in the learning process and improve the science activity's performance (Ekawati, 2017;Erdogan, 2016;Zulirfan, Iksan, Osman, & Salehudin, 2018). In science learning, students' scientific attitude will help students understand concepts easily and affect their learning outcomes (Supardi, Istiyono, & Setialaksana, 2019;Thahir et al, 2020). Moreover, scientific attitude included in the cognitive components will gives a significant impact on the student in making a decision or taking action (Adiansyah et al, 2021).…”

Analisis Korelasi Sikap Ilmiah dan Hasil Belajar Biologi

“…Dengan menanamkan keterampilan sikap ilmiah, siswa menjadi lebih terbiasa dengan sikap belajar yang positif, sehingga mendorong siswa untuk untuk mencapai hasil belajar yang baik. Oleh karena itu perlu suatu perhatian pendidik untuk menilai sikap ilmiah siswa sebagai sarana untuk melatih kemampuan siswa dalam mencapai keberhasilan hasil belajar dalam pelajaran Biologi (Supardi, Istiyono, & Setilalaksana, 2019).…”

Analysis of Students' Scientific Attitude Through Experience Practicum Activities in Chemistry Learning

“…Self-confidence, namely a belief in one's own ability to carry out activities or actions (Solihah, 2023). Aspects of scientific attitude can refer to curiosity, honestyy, objectivity, perseverance, thoroughness, openness, critical thinking, and a sense of responsibility (Supardi et al, 2019). Apart from that, aspects of scientific attitude consist of individual traits and behavior, including honesty behavior, curiosity, openness, responsibility, logical and objective thinking, and critical thinking (Wahyudiati, 2021).…”
