The effect of contextual collaborative learning based ethnoscience to ıncrease student’s scientific literacy ability

Abstract

Scientific literacy is used as the primary goal in science education because it is considered to be used to prepare today's generation. Aspects of scientific literacy consist of the concepts, processes, and attitudes of science that can be used in people's daily lives, a picture of the success of science education carried out by each country. However, this ability has not been trained optimally through the process of learning science in Indonesia. This research aims to increase students' scientific literacy ability through contextual collaboration learning based on ethnoscience. This study used a quasi-experimental research method with a pre-experimental design that involved pretest and posttest of one group. This research has been conducted in the Chemistry Education UNDIKMA Mataram for the number of research subjects as many as 31 students. The instrument used is multiple choice tests to measure the achievement the content and process of science students while attitude scale to measure students' scientific attitudes. The results showed that the achievement of content, process, and science attitudes of students overall has increased in the medium category. This means that the effect of contextual collaborative learning based ethnoscience the capacity of scientific literacy in content, process, and attitude of students.

The Role of Collaborative Learning in the Online Education

“…Strijbos (2016) defined collaborative learning as a learning occurrence where learners in a group interact on the similar or dissimilar attributes of a shared task to acheive implied or definite shared learning goals. Collaborative learning is a teaching and learning strategy that involves two or more students in a group who have different abilities and thoughts and are jointly engaged in a learning process (Dewi et al, 2021;Hadwin et al, 2018;Warsah et al, 2021). Collaborative Learning is known as an approach to group learning and can be an appropriate and effective method to train students for the 21 st -century skills to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product in the learning process (Azar et al, 2021).…”

“…In collaborative learning, participants have their responsible roles and are more comfortable generating ideas, share their knowledge, and solve problems together with their group members (Koretsky et al, 2021;Warsah et al, 2021). They do not feel isolated because they support each other in the learning process and rely on each other to attain new knowledge (Dewi et al, 2021;Warsah et al, 2021). When they do the tasks in groups, collaborative learning helps them develop a deeper understanding of course materials and retain more information (McHugh et al, 2020).…”

“…The collaborative learning model shifts from a teachercentered approach to a learner-centered one (Han & Ellis, 2021). It is built on the basis that knowledge is generated via social interaction and construction so that students can read, respond, and participate by expressing and discussing their ideas and opinions to solve real-world problems (Dewi et al, 2021;Hadwin et al, 2018). Scaffolding, a teaching strategy, can provoke the metacognitive processes if used properly (Hadwin et al, 2018;Lyon et al, 2021).…”

Ethnochemistry-based Adobe Flash Learning Media Using Indigenous Knowledge to Improve Students' Scientific Literacy

“…Scientific literacy is an understanding or knowledge of scientific concepts and processes that individuals need, especially when making decisions, contributing in social and economic terms with problem-solving skills (Spitzer & Fraser, 2020;Dewi et al, 2021;Prasetia & Adlan, 2022). According to Woodin et al (2010), students with good scientific literacy skills will have several characteristics: better understanding of scientific processes and their application in society, competence in communicating and collaborating, skills in interpreting data, and skills in modeling or simulation related to the field of computerization.…”

Exploration of Students' Conceptual Understanding and Ethnophysics: A Case Study of Tifa In The Tanimbar Islands, Indonesia

“…Scientific knowledge is obtained by examining local knowledge contained in the culture of a community or ethnic group. Local wisdom comes from the reasoning and ideas of local people about everyday life, including traditional culture, values, beliefs, and worldviews (Dewi et al, 2021). Cultural communities share the same traditions and understanding across generations.…”
