Scientific Reasoning Abilities Profil of Junior High School Students in Jambi

Abstract

<p>This study aims to determine the profile of scientific reasoning ability of junior high school students in Jambi. The type of this research is descriptive quantitative, while the research design using survey type cross-sectional design. The population in this study were junior high school students in Jambi City with a total of 25,789 students. The sampling technique used is cluster sampling. The sample used in this study is 1146 students from 15 schools with different accreditation levels. Techniques of data collection of this study are using the problem of reasoning abilities from lawson's classroom test of scientific reasoning (CTSR) in 2000. The results showed that 100% of the sample is concrete. With the ability of Conservation of matter and volume as the most ability owned by students with the percentage of 16.1% and the lowest ability is the ability of Proportional reasoning with a percentage of 3.0%. This shows that students have not been able to use their reasoning for abstract things. In general, no reasoning ability that has a percentage of 50% indicates that students' reasoning ability in junior high school is still very low and fundamental. </p><p><em> </em></p><strong>Keywords: </strong> Profile, scientific reasoning, junior high school, Jambi city<p> </p>

Identification of Misconception of High School Students on Temperature and Calor Topic Using Four-Tier Diagnostic Instrument

“…However, in learning activities, many students believe that physics is a collection of formulas (McDermott, 1993) and tends to memorize formulas that have an impact on the low ability of students to find solutions to physics problems (May & Etkina, 2002). Students also experience difficulties in understanding physical concepts and using their reasoning abilities (Utama et al,, 2018;Yediarani et al, 2019) and tend to have local knowledge structures (Wadana & Maison, 2019). This is in line with the results of Mulhall and Gunstone's research (2012), which states that physics is a subject that is difficult to learn and teach.…”

Deskripsi Keaktifan Belajar Siswa Terhadap Mata Pelajaran IPA di SMP Negeri 18 Kota Jambi

“…Mata pelajaran IPA SMP merupakan gabungan dari tiga mata pelajaran yaitu biologi, fisika, dan kimia dimana sebagian besar materinya berupa pemahaman konsep dan hafalan seta rumus-rumus dengan istilah-istilah asing, sehingga hal ini bukanlah hal yang mudah bagi guru untuk membuat siswa mampu menghafal dan memahaminya [16]. Melalui pembelajaran IPA siswa diharapkan dapat mengembangkan kemampuan penalaran (reasoning) dalam pemikiran analisis induktif dan deduktif menggunakan konsep dan prinsip sains untuk menjelaskan peristiwa alam dan pemecahan masalah baik secara kualitatif maupun kuantitatif [17]. Hal ini sesuai yang diungkapkan oleh [18] yang menyatakan bahwa Pembelajaran IPA yang sebaiknya dilakukan adalah pembelajaran yang dapat menyiapkan peserta didik untuk melek IPA dan teknologi, mampu berpikir logis, kritis dan kreatif.…”
