In this study, the Engagement and Participation in Classroom – Science (EPIC-S) questionnaire was applied to explore Vietnamese students’ participation behaviors and their perceptions of the science classroom environment. The main goal of our study was to investigate the impact of students’ classroom participation on their perceptions of the science classroom environment as assessed by the EPIC-S questionnaire. Our survey was conducted on 884 students in some public secondary schools in Vietnam and the collected data was analyzed using SPSS 20. Students were classified into two groups-verbal and silent- based on how they participated in several facets of the science classroom environment. We found no statistically significant difference between these two groups in their perception of the relationship with the teacher. Nevertheless, there are differences in their perceptions of peer support, fear of embarrassment, and teacher openness. Our results will contribute to the theoretical background for STEM education in Vietnam","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":"48342978","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).

The purpose of this study is to describe the physics teachers’ ability in planning and implementing cultural-based physics learning activities, and the relationship between the teachers’ ability in planning and implementing cultural-based physics learning. The research was a quantitative descriptive study that included 20 physics teachers in one of the regencies of Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) as the subject of the study. The instruments used for this study were the assessment rubrics for the physics lesson plan and peer teaching. The data were collected by doing observation and documentation of participatory education and training activities with cultural approach, analysed descriptively quantitatively, and presented in categories, percentages and diagrams. The average ability of physics teachers in designing the lesson plans of cultural-based physics in the following categories was quite good: 17 teachers (85%) were in the good category while 3 teachers (15%) were in very good category. The average presentation of the peer teaching appraisal results was in fairly good category, only 1 teacher (5%) was in the less good category, then 14 teachers (70%) were in good enough category, and then 4 teachers (25%) were in good categories. In general, the physics teachers had presented good performances, which mean the training activities had a positive effect on the physics teachers’ content and pedagogical knowledge. In education and training activities by integrating culture in physics learning activities responded very well, thus in every group discussion cycle, the teacher was able to identify the culture which was suitable to the content of existing material and implementing it in the peer teaching activities.","PeriodicalId":41416,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Penelitian dan Pembelajaran IPA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41660415","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}
