Development of Web E-Scaffolding Based on Scientific Explanation as Teaching Materials for Primary School Pre-service Teachers

Abstract

Science learning does not only involve facts and concepts but also ways of thinking, explaining scientifically, and doing a practicum. Unfortunately, existing e-learning and/or social media have not been able to facilitate the implementation of online practicums. Therefore, an e-scaffolding website based on scientific explanations is needed as teaching media and materials since learning is mostly conducted online during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to describe the development process and the validity and legibility of the e-scaffolding website to develop scientific explanations for elementary school pre-service teachers. The development of this escaffolding website refers to the development model developed by Lee and Owens (2004). The instrument of this study was a questionnaire using a Likert scale. There are 3 kinds of questionnaires used, including the material validation questionnaire by the expert validator, the media validation questionnaire by the expert validator, and the student readability test questionnaire. The results showed that the average product validation results on the website aspect were 84% and, on the e,-scaffolding aspect was 86.67%. While the results of the product readability test were 82.29%. This means that the development of the e-scaffolding website based on scientific explanations is very valid and very feasible to use in developing the scientific explanation abilities of elementary school pre-service teachers

Influence of E-Scaffolding in Problem-Based Learning on Students’ HOTS in Standing Wave

“…The results showed that physics learning with procedural e-scaffolding improved students' scientific explanations, specifically claims, evidence, and reasoning. In reference [46], a scientific explanation-based e-scaffolding website was developed by integrating PhET simulations as a virtual practicum. The results showed that it significantly improved students' ability to produce scientific explanations.…”

Need Analysis of Integrated Science Digital Teaching Materials with Blended Learning Models in the New Normal Era for PGMI Students throughout East Java

“…Using e-modules in the learning process can improve thinking skills, effectiveness, innovation, and fun conditions in learning (Purnamasari, 2018;Waluya et al, 2022). Learning with interactive e-modules can convey all material according to learning targets (Amelia, 2021;Maielfi, 2021;Priantini & Widiastuti, 2021). Moreover, with high flexibility, students can study material in advance through digital devices anywhere and anytime (Kurniawan et al, 2019;Sidiq & Suhendro, 2021).…”

Development of Diorama Media on Cultural Diversity Materials in My Country Islamic Elementary School

“…While the results of the product readability test were 82.29%. This means that the development of an e-scaffolding website based on scientific explanations is very valid and very feasible to use in developing the scientific explanation abilities of prospective elementary school teachers (Amelia, 2021) . Furthermore, Umbara Research Results with different score criteria, namely The results of the development show the the average value of the media expert validation test was 4.62 (Umbara et al, 2021) , and the fitri research on media expert validation was categorized as very feasible.…”
