“…However, the results of this study show that the curriculum is not effective in presenting NOS themes to students. Findings of several other studies in the literature (Erenoğlu, 2010;Kaya, 2011;Metin & Leblebicioglu, 2012) also support our findings.…”

The Influence of Documentary Films on 8th Grade Students’ Views about Nature of Science

This quasi-experimental study aims to investigate the documentary films' influence on 8th grade students' nature of science views. The study's participants were 113 8th grade students from two different schools taught by two different teachers. The study was completed over a 6-week period, during which topics related to "Cell Division and Heredity" and "Force and Motion" were covered. In the experimental group, six documentary films were integrated into the science curriculum to teach ideas about nature of science. The control group, however, followed the regular science curriculum. The Views of Nature of Science Elementary Level (VNOS-E) questionnaire developed by Lederman and Ko (2004) was used as the data collection tool. In addition, semistructured interviews were conducted with 28 students using the VNOS-E questionnaire at the beginning and end of the study. The results suggest that students in the control group showed no significant improvement in their understanding about nature of science in response to the instruction.However, students in the experimental group showed statistically improvements in their understanding about four of the five nature of science themes in response to the instruction. In addition, a statistically significant difference was found between the views of the experimental group and those of the control group students in the post-test results for four of the five nature of science themes. The results suggest that the use of documentary films in science classrooms has the potential to enhance students' views about nature of science.

“…The questionnaire consists of seven openended questions. The VNOS-E and VNOS-D questionnaires have similar questions (Lederman et al, 2002;Metin & Leblebicioglu, 2012). NOS themes included in the VNOS-E are summarized in Table 2 (Akerson & Donnelly, 2010;Parker, 2010).…”

“…There are numerous studies pointing to the benefits of science outreach programs on students' attitudes towards science (for example, Cavanaugh, 2007;Metin & Leblebicioglu, 2011;Rahm, Moore, & Martel-Reny, 2005;Robbins & Schoenfisch, 2005) and mathematics (for example, Weinberg, Basile, & Albright, 2011). Engineering and/or technology focused camps have been found to have positive impacts on students' views of engineering (Elam, Donham, & Soloman, 2012;Nadelson and Callahan, 2011) and technology (Nugent, Barker, Grandgenett, & Adamchuk, 2010).…”

Students' knowledge about a profession influences their future decisions about careers. Research indicates that students tend to hold stereotypical views of engineers, which would hinder engineering as a career choice. The purpose of this study was to measure how participating in a week long engineering summer camp affected middle school students' (N519) attitudes towards engineering and their conceptions of engineering and technology. Results indicate that participation in the programs had a positive impact on the students' understandings of what technology is and the work engineers do. Although the results indicate a positive impact on participants, it is not clear which components of the camp contributed to this change. The partnership between practicing middle school teachers and engineering faculty was important to the success of the camp, revealing the benefits of collaborative efforts between K-12 educators and engineering professionals.

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan melakukan analisis kebutuhan pengembangan modelmodel Student-Centered Learning (SCL). Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode survey pada 9 (sembilan) kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Bali. Subjek penelitian adalah 27 kepala sekolah, 54 guru, 54 RPP, 54 LKS, dan 362 siswa SMA. Objek yang dikaji adalah tanggapan kepala sekolah dan guru terhadap pengembangan modelmodel SCL, kecenderungan guru menerapkan model-model SCL dalam pembelajaran di sekolah, penalaran siswa, dan karakter siswa. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara, angket, observasi, dan tes. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil analisis menunjukkan, bahwa (1) kepala sekolah belum melakukan pembinaan pengembangan model-model SCL, sehingga mereka mendukung upaya pengembangan, (2) guru-guru belum mengembangkan dan menggunakan model-model SCL, sehingga mereka mendukung dan menyatakan kesiapan untuk terlibat dalam pengembangan, (3) model-model pembelajaran yang digunakan oleh para guru selama ini belum ada indikasi mengarah pada model-model SCL, (4) penalaran siswa berkategori kurang, dan (5) masih terdapat 40,21% siswa memiliki karakter yang perlu ditingkatkan kualifikasinya ke arah yang lebih baik. Implikasinya, pengembangan model-model SCL adalah program strategis untuk dilakukan. Kata-kata kunci: Model-model SCL, penalaran siswa, karakter siswa AbstractThis research aimed at conducting need assessment about development of Student-Centered Learning (SCL) models. This research used survey method on the 9 (nine) regency/city in Bali Province. The research involved 27 of the school heads, 54 of teachers, 54 of teachers' plan, 54 of student work sheet, 362 of students. The objects of the research were school heads and the teachers responses on the idea of development of the SCL, the trend of the teachers to develop and conduct the SCL models in fascilitating student learning in school. The data were collected by interview, questionaire, observation, and tests. To analyse of the data, the descriptive statistic were used. The resuls of the analyses show
