The results showed that there was a misconception, 40% of the students misled in drawing microscopically the system of salt and sugar solubility and 50% of the students incorrectly drew the system due to the absence of interaction between salt particle and water, while 10% of the students sketched correctly though it is difficult to notice the result of salt ionization on the solvent. Moreover, 80% of the students were unable to find a link between the alteration system of solvent equilibrium caused by additional salt with various solvents on the macroscopic concept of an insoluble salt equilibrium system and the effect of adding similar ions on the equilibrium system.","PeriodicalId":41416,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Penelitian dan Pembelajaran IPA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46575621","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}

The autonomy includes self-direct teaching as a reflection of the teachers’ metacognition in selecting learning strategies, monitoring the accuracy of strategy implementation, as well as evaluating the process. The metacognitive attitude directs the process of constructing knowledge and managing a classroom to meet the standard of the learning process. The objective of the present study is to describe the metacognitive attitude of Biology teachers. The survey research involved 57 Biology teachers in DKI Jakarta Province, Indonesia. The research instrument is the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory Teacher (MAIT) with Cronbach Alpha values r = 0.86. The results show that (1) the teacher's metacognitive attitude is high (mean 73.49), and (2) there was no correlation between metacognitive attitude with the school category or gender. This suggests the high performance of Biology teachers in autonomy especially in managing the Kurikulum 2013. This Kurikulum 2013 emphasizes student-centered learning which allows a variety of learning strategies that can be selected by the teacher to achieve a quality result. Male and female teachers both have equal opportunities in achieving their metacognitive attitudes, as well as the school category.","PeriodicalId":41416,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Penelitian dan Pembelajaran IPA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48228602","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}

That is because of their lack of curiosity towards wisdom itself and the lack of means to learn it. Therefore, local wisdom needs to be integrated with learning particularly in high schools, especially in Klaten Regency. This study aims to develop an instrument of cognitive ability assessment based on local wisdom and find out its validity and reliability. The development of the assessment instrument refers to the instrument development model by Oriondo and Dallo-Antonio which is divided into 4 stages: designing the instrument, determining the validity of the instrument, testing the instrument, and determining the reliability of the instrument. The instrument was validated by educational evaluation experts, physicists, physics education experts, and practitioners. The content validity of the instrument was analyzed using the V-Aiken formula. The instrument consisted of 50 valid items based on expert judgment with an average coefficient of V-Aiken>0.78. Researchers tested 480 students and then analyzed the results of the trials using the Microsoft Excel, Quest, Parscale to determine their validity and reliability. The analysis showed that 50 items were fit with the Partial Credit Model (PCM).
