The Aim of this research was to evaluate the influence of Mobile-NOS model of learning application towards Students’ Understanding of the Nature of Science. In the form of pre-experimental research, this study has been carried out by pretest-posttest non-control group design. The research subjects consisted of 27 students participating in the Basic Chemistry II course in the chemical education program of IKIP Mataram academic year 2018-2019 collected by saturated sampling. The Nature of Science Data was obtained using the Understanding of Nature of Science questionnaire. Data were analyzed by paired sample t test. The results showed significant enhancement on students’ understanding of the nature of science after Mobile-NOS model of learning application. The value of t count (5.353) is greater than the t table (1.706) in the one-way hypothesis.
[Title: Students' Understanding of the Nature of Science in Learning using the Mobile-NOS Learning Model]. The aim of this research was to evaluate the influence of the Mobile-NOS learning model implementation towards students' understanding of the nature of science. In the form of pre-experimental research, this study has been carried out by pretest-posttest non-control group design. The research subjects consisted of 27 students participating in the Basic Chemistry II course in the chemical education program of IKIP Mataram Academic Year 2018-2019 collected by saturated sampling. The Nature of Science Data was obtained using the Understanding of Nature of Science questionnaire that consists of 39 valid items with very high reliability (r = 0,802) proved by test result to 84 subjects. Data were analyzed by a paired sample t-test. The results showed significant enhancement on students' understanding of the nature of science after the Mobile-NOS model of the learning implementation. The value of t count (5.353) is greater than the t table (1.706) in the one-way hypothesis. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the Mobile-NOS learning model influences students' understanding of the nature of science.
This study aims to (1) describe the urgence of developing local wisdom based Chemistry learning and Lombok community tourism in the UNDIKMA Chemistry education study program and (2) describe the learning potential of growing student scientific literacy. This research was conducted in the form of a survey involving 65 students in the UNDIKMA Chemistry education study program. The data were collected using two Likert scale questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the category percentage technique. The results of the study showed that the application of local wisdom based Chemistry learning and tourism in the Lombok community in the UNDIKMA Chemistry education study program still lacked. Student responses to the idea of local wisdom based Chemistry learning and the tourism of the people of Lombok were categorized very well. Students had a high level of confidence that this learning method would increase motivation and attitudes towards learning and provided provisions that were in accordance with the needs of graduates as problem solvers and agents of change in a society that had the uniqueness of local wisdom and tourism potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
