Problem-solving ability: Implementation of RICOSRE learning models on environmental change topic

Abstract

The development of technology and science has progressed very rapidly. Students are required to master various kinds of abilities, one of which is problem-solving ability. Problem-solving ability need to be developed in the learning process. The learning model that can facilitate students in practicing problem-solving ability is the Reading, Identifying, Constructing, Solving, Reviewing and Extending (RICOSRE) learning model. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using the RICOSRE learning model to the problem-solving abilities of Senior high school students on environmental change topic. This research was conducted at Senior High School 3 of Tangerang in January-June 2022. This type of research is quantitative with a quasi-experimental research method. The research sample amounted to 62 students with each class totaling 31 students who were selected by random sampling. Based on the t-test calculation at α = 0.05, a significance of 0.028 was obtained, which means that there is an effect of the RICOSRE learning model on the problem-solving abilities of students on environmental change topic.

Enhancing problem-solving and collaborative skills through RICOSRE learning model: A socioscientific approach in physics education

“…As a solution, the educational approach known as Reading, Identifying the problem, Constructing the solution, Solving the problem, Reviewing the problem solving, Extending the problem solving (RICOSRE) has been innovated and implemented across a range of educational settings (Azrai et al, 2022). This RICOSRE method is a form of problem-based learning, noted for its ability to boost the effectiveness of students' educational experiences.…”

The effectiveness of environment-oriented e-books based on problem-based learning for problem-solving skills

“…One of the challenges of education today is building 21st-century skills, including collaborating, communicating, creative thinking, critical thinking, and problem-solving (Azrai et al, 2022). Problemsolving is a life skill that involves analyzing, interpreting, reasoning, predicting, evaluating, and reflecting (Karatas & Baki, 2013).…”

“…Biology lessons are fun and exciting lessons related to everyday life. Learning biology is one way to improve some aspects of students in terms of knowledge, attitude, skills, and responsibility toward the environment (Azrai et al, 2022). Learning biology is not just theories and concepts but must do something, knowing and solving biology-related problems (Afcariono, 2008).…”
