Mastery of Science Concepts Improves Scientific Attitude in Elementary School Students

Abstract

Many students have low IPA abilities. Previous research stated that there are still many students who get science learning scores below the average. This study analyzes the relationship between students' scientific attitude and mastery of science concepts in fourth-grade elementary school. This type of research is quantitative research with the correlational method. The research design used is to formulate problems and determine research objectives. The subjects in this study were all students totaling 58 respondents who were taken using the cluster random sampling technique. The method used in this study discusses two variables, the independent variable is students' scientific attitude, and the dependent variable is the mastery of science concepts for grade IV elementary school. The data collection instrument in this study used measurement techniques in 15 formative questions on the dependent variable and 30 questionnaire sheets on the independent variable. Data were analyzed by parametric statistics or product-moment correlation. The results showed differences in the results of students' scientific attitude data with mastery of science concepts. The data showed that tcount was 2,431 > ttable was 1,672 at the significance level = 0.05 with the number of respondents 58 students. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between students' scientific attitudes and mastery of science concepts. Mastery of science concepts can improve students' scientific attitudes.

The effect of project-based learning model assisted by interactive digital modules on scientific literacy in biotechnology topic in in 9th grade of junior high school

“…Learners engage in real-life problemsolving activities and engage students in inquiry. The involvement of students in this activity allows students to apply science concepts in real life so as to encourage students' scientific literacy to develop better than those who do not get project learning (Artaga, 2021;Melindayani, 2022).…”

Video Pembelajaran Tata Surya untuk Siswa Kelas VI Sekolah Dasar

“…Pendidikan sangat berkaitan dengan pembelajaran yang melibatkan guru dan siswa didalam pelaksanannya (Nengsih & Dafit, 2022). Sebuah pembelajaran dapat dikatakan berhasil bilamana siswa mampu menerima pengetahuan yang ditransfer oleh gurunya dengan baik dan mampu menerapkan nilai-nilai positif didalam kehidupan sehari-hari (Artaga, 2021;Komuro et al, 2021;Tika & Agustiana, 2021). Oleh karena itu, guru memiliki peran yang begitu penting dalam mengupayakan berbagai cara untuk merancang kegiatan pembelajaran dengan sedemikian rupa hingga apa yang menjadi tujuan dari sebuah pembelajaran tersebut dapat tercapai dengan hasil yang maksimal .…”

Use of bibliometric software to explore the relationship between scientific literacy and socio-scientific issues

“…Applying skills in daily work is a key requirement for acquiring basic knowledge, including literacy, numeracy, technological literacy, financial literacy, cultural literacy, as well as civic and scientific literacy. Scientific literacy is considered a skill that students need to acquire in the 21st-century [4], [5], in which scientific literacy skills require understanding and applying knowledge. knowledge to solve problems related to science and technology in everyday life [6].…”
