“…Education literature has revealed a debate about the benefits of inquiry learning versus direct instruction approaches (Alfieri et al, 2011; Clark, 2009; Lazonder & Harmsen, 2016; Wen et al, 2020). Direct instruction and inquiry learning can be viewed as the two poles of a continuum ranging from purely receptive learning to purely discovery learning (Romiszowski, 1981).…”

Background. Simulation-based learning environments are used extensively to support learning in complex business systems. Nevertheless, studies have identified problems and limitations due to cognitive processing difficulties. In particular, previous research has addressed some aspects of model transparency and instructional strategy and produced inconclusive results. Aim. This study investigates the learning effects of using transparent simulations (that is, showing users the internal structure of models) and exploratory guidance (that is, guiding learners so they are able to explore the simulation by themselves, supported by specific cognitive aids) from a mental models perspective. Method. A test based on a simulation experiment with a system dynamics model, representing a supply chain system, was performed. Participants are required to use the simulator to investigate some issues related to the bullwhip effect and other supply chain coordination concepts. Results. Participants provided with the more transparent strategy and offered the more exploratory guidance demonstrated better understanding of the structure and behaviour of the underlying model. However, our results suggest that while exploratory guidance is a beneficial method for understanding both model structure and behaviour, making only the model transparent is more limited in its effect.

“…Literature suggests that performing experiments contributes positively to students' scientific literacy (Genc, 2015). Students with high scientific literacy can design experiments and make adequate conclusions based on evidence (Wen et al, 2020). Besides, the teacher's assistance during the inquiry process is also beneficial for students to develop permanent scientific literacy (Wen et al, 2020).…”

In brief, Millar (2007) reported that courses offered based on scientific literacy stimulate students' interest and active involvement in science learning.…”

Purpose: Scientific literacy plays an important role in catalyzing science learning in the 21 st century. Unfortunately, previous evidence revealed that students' scientific literacy tends to be unsatisfactory. This study investigated the effect of ethnosciencethemed picture books embedded in context-based learning (EthCBL) on students' scientific literacy. Methods: In this quasi-experimental research, 58 (35 girls and 23 boys) fifth-grade students in a public elementary school in Indonesia were selected using purposive sampling. Twenty-nine students (19 girls and 10 boys) were assigned as an experimental group and 29 students (16 girls and 13 boys) were assigned as a control group.

“…The data analysis technique used descriptive statistics and the Aiken-V consistency test. The measurement criteria for the prototype of this tool consist of the contents of mechanical mechanics and test construction in accordance with the concept of scientific literacy using a Likert scale (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Descriptive analysis with the following criteria:…”

This study aims to develop a prototype of a mechanical scientific literacy instrument for vocational students on the competence of construction technology and property expertise. The type of research used in this research is the Research and Development method (R&D). This research was conducted from January to February 2020. Based on expert judgment, this scientific literacy instrument can be said to be fit for use both in content and construction.
