The Effectiveness of Science Learning Research Skills: A Meta-Analysis Study

Abstract

Research skills are our ability to find and answer a question or solve a problem. This study aimed to identify methods in the science learning of research skills. Meta-analysis study used PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) method. The stages of the research method include: determining criteria and literature search techniques, conducting literature analysis, coding, and data analysis. Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP) version 0.14.1 was used as a data analysis tool. A total of (n=16) articles were taken from Indonesia and overseas being analyzed. Research findings showed that learning through research skills gave effect around 0.63 (medium). The Inquiry method was the most effective and used in learning through research skills. Based on the research findings above, it can be concluded that there were ten effective methods in learning through research skills. The inquiry method could be recommended in the learning through research skills in the schools and college level.2021 Scientiae Educatia: Jurnal Pendidikan Sains build scientific skills and develop other skills such as problem-solving and communication skills, so building research competencies is an essential agenda in 21 st -century education (Fischer et al., 2014;Maddens et al., 2020).Research competencies refer to someone's skills in implementing scientific methods like identifying, constructing a hypothesis, selecting variables, experimenting, and interpreting the data (Yalcin, 2015). According to Meerah & Arsad (2010), research skills are the ability to conduct research using tools, strategy, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and explaining the research findings. The Research Competencies Framework (RCF) is divided into research competence groups such as practical skills, dissemination, problem-solving skills, thinking and

Examining the Primary School Teacher Candidates’ Science Learning Skills in Terms of Their Attitudes Towards Science and Their Science Teaching Self-Efficacy Beliefs

“…These variables are guided inquiry learning models, inquiry, PBL, PjBL and learning cycles, as well as learning media variables and modules and worksheets. In addition, Aripin et al (2021) found that learning through inquiry had a moderate effect on students' science learning skills (p=.63)…”

Tren Penelitian Pembelajaran Biologi Berbasis Citizen Science Untuk Melatihkan Keterampilan Abad 21

“…Hadirnya CS dalam dunia pendidikan mendorong para peserta untuk lebih update dengan perkembangan teknologi. Hal tersebut karena salah satu ciri CS yaitu adanya sharing knowledge pada dunia digital (Aripin, I., Hidayat, T., & Rustaman, 2020;Aripin, I., Hidayat, T., Rustaman, N., & Riandi, 2021;Aripin, 2022;. Citizen science tidak hanya membantu pengumpul data dalam ilmu pengetahuan namun juga sebagai alat pendidikan inovatif (Schneiderhan & Bogner, 2020).…”

Online citizen science to develop local species identification skills and biodiversity awareness of prospective biology teacher students

“…Efforts to integrate CS in education have also been developed in Indonesia, one of which is at the University of Education Indonesia with the pioneer Prof. Topik Hidayat, Ph.D from the Department of Biology Education. Research and publications on the implementation of CS education in Indonesia have also been conducted by Aripin, Damayanti, and Faizah et al who developed CS programs in higher and secondary education in Indonesia [3][4][5] .…”

“…OCS activities are very appropriate in Indonesia, because Indonesia is the second largest megabiodiversity country in the world. The limited number of scientists and unavailability of qualified biodiversity data base 14 so, CS activities can be an alternative solution for the collection, identification and publication of Indonesian biodiversity data 3 . To be able to contribute to the collection of Indonesian biodiversity data, the community needs to develop species identification (classification) skills.…”
