Problem-based learning using authentic material from the web was used to teach metabolism in a biochemistry course. In place of traditional lectures, students' analyzed health or nutrition articles from newspapers and magazines, which were debatable from a scientific point of view, following the principles of problem-based learning. A mixed method was used to assess the students' perception, use of sources of information and web services while performing the task, and changes in self-directed learning. Students' perception was particularly positive. The majority stated that the methodology helped them to apply knowledge to real life and that they learned about the topic analyzed by their group. The perception that problem-based learning promotes the ability to solve problems, critical thinking, and collaborative work is noteworthy. Tutors considered that teams identified the problem and concluded correctly, noticing students' enthusiasm and motivation. The methodology also promoted scientific reading. More importantly, a significant improvement in self-directed learning of the 2014 cohort was detected. This intervention suggests that this methodology is a valuable alternative to motive and promote self-learning; representing an opportunity to shift the focus of instruction from the teacher to the student. The design of the activity and materials are described in detail. Also, limitations and solutions are discussed.

“…The meaning of inquiry learning has not been understood and the benefits have not been recognized, therefore the implementation of inquiry learning does not create any improvement of the quality of science education in Indonesia (Rustaman, 2005). Another opinion mentioned that students interpret scientific thought as something that happened in the lab, not as something that has value in everyday life such as decision-making or solving a problem (Hendrich, 2018).…”

This study is aimed to analyse scientific thinking abilities profile of science students at XI Grade of Senior High School in Pacitan Regency, East Java Province. The population of this study was 664 students. The sample was taken by using cluster random sampling method on 68 students of SMAN 1 Pacitan, SMAN 1 Ngadirojo, and SMAN Tulakan. The instrument used was a test instrument in the form of multiple choice questions of 25 items which were developed based on the aspects of scientific thinking ability, they are inquiry, analysis, inferences, and argumentation (Kuhn, 2010). Data were analysed using descriptive quantitative statistics. Based on data analysis, it is obtained that the percentage of students with post formal category of scientific thinking ability is 0%, the upper formal category is 27.94%, the low formal category is 67.64%, and the concrete category is 4.42%. Based on the results of data analysis, it shows that the profile of scientific thinking ability of science students at XI Grade of Senior High School in Pacitan Regency is still relatively low so that a process of learning activity that can empower students' scientific thinking ability is needed.

In a global health pandemic context, a group 16 of education Master's students met voluntarily with their tutors in a virtual research support seminar, during the Saturday mornings of the first and second semester of 2020. This study aimed to know to what extent did mentoring and human tutoring characteristics emerge in a virtual research seminar experience. Through a qualitative research approach that included the analysis of the conversations and dialogues of the recorded sessions, insights showed that some of these characteristics emerged naturally along with the sessions, but as time passed, emotional and personal aspects were appearing more often than some others, showing that students felt more comfortable talking about themselves and supporting their classmates, as well as expressing their academic doubts and project thoughts freely because of humanistic tutoring approach. Most of them achieved the goal of finishing their project chapters on time. The humanistic and professional characteristics of teachers emerged as the main factors to develop this humanistic tutoring approach.
