{"title":"STUDENTS’ CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS IN AN INQUIRY-BASED FLIPPED CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT","authors":"R. M. Tan, Rosanelia T. Yangco, E. Que","doi":"10.32890/MJLI2020.17.1.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32890/MJLI2020.17.1.7","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of an Inquiry-based Flipped classroom model on the conceptual understanding and science process skills of junior high school students in the Philippines.\u0000\u0000Method: A two-group pretest/post-test design was conducted on 55 Grade 9 students for the study. One group received instruction using the flipped classroom format while the other group serving as control was taught in the conventional format. A Conceptual Understanding Test (CUT) and a Science Process Skills Test (SPST) were used to measure the impact of instruction on the two groups. Independent samples t-test was used to determine if there was a significant difference between the groups while paired samples t-test was conducted on both groups to determine if the groups improved significantly after a 7-week intervention. Linear regression was performed to determine if science process skills was a positive predictor of conceptual understanding.\u0000\u0000Findings: Inquiry-based flipped classroom did not make students perform better than the non-flipped inquiry-based learning environment in the Conceptual Understanding Test (CUT) and Science Process Skills Test (SPST) except on one biology topic (non-Mendelian Genetics) where the Flipped Inquiry Group scored significantly higher than the control in the CUT. Students’ science process skills positively predicted their conceptual understanding in biology.\u0000\u0000Significance: Inquiry–based flipped classroom can be as effective as the non-flipped inquiry-based instruction in improving students’ conceptual understanding and science process skills but can be made even more effective depending on the content, the manner the content is uploaded and the choice of LMS for uploading the online content. The study also showed the importance of science process skills in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding in biology.","PeriodicalId":346183,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction (MJLI) Vol. 17, No.1 Jan. 2020","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133305403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang memberikan kefahaman mendalam berkaitan dengan upaya BMTB dalam kalangan guru pelatih berasaskan senarai semak pencerapan pengajaran dan pemudahcaraan (PdPc) yang dibina berpandukan penentuan skala morfofonetik; skala sosiolinguistik; dan skala sosiopragmatik mengikut kerangka konseptual Brown dan Levinson (1987). Pencerapan dilaksanakan terhadap sembilan orang guru pelatih dengan menganalisis rakaman sesi PdPc mereka yang berdurasi 540 minit dan telah ditranskripsikan.\u0000 \u0000Dapatan - Kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa masih terdapat ketidakpatuhan aspek morfofonetik terutamanya dalam mengartikulasikan perkataan-perkataan tertentu dalam bahasa Melayu dengan menggunakan sebutan baku dalam kalangan guru pelatih. Selain itu, ketidakpatuhan mereka terhadap peraturan sosiolinguistik juga dikesan, iaitu masih terdapat penggunaan bahasa yang kurang rapi kerana mengandungi percampuran kod. Ketidakpatuhan aspek morfofonetik dan sosiolinguistik ini perlu ditangani dengan baik agar upaya berbahasa dan tahap profesionalisme guru pelatih dapat ditingkatkan. Dari aspek sosiopragmatik pula, kesemua 15 substrategi kesantunan berbahasa di bawah Strategi Kesantunan Positif Brown dan Levinson (1987) didapati telah diamalkan oleh guru pelatih yang menunjukkan bahawa mereka memiliki upaya berbahasa yang positif dan memenuhi indikator profesionalisme sebagai bakal pendidik.\u0000 \u0000Signifikan - Kajian ini menyumbang kepada saranan membina indikator profesionalisme guru pelatih UPSI khususnya dan bakal pendidik umumnya dalam perspektif upaya BMTB bagi mengukur amalan kesantunan berbahasa, khususnya dalam bidang Bahasa Melayu semasa mereka menjalani latihan mengajar.","PeriodicalId":346183,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction (MJLI) Vol. 17, No.1 Jan. 2020","volume":"C-20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126775434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
