The influence of interactive digital worksheets based on level of inquiry towards science process skills in elementary school

Abstract

The challenge of learning science during the COVID-19 pandemic in elementary schools focuses on the need for digital learning materials for Science Process Skills (SPS) through the perspective of science as an investigation process. This study aims to investigate the influence of interactive digital worksheets based on level of inquiry towards science process skills during the covid-19 pandemic in elementary school. In the study a quasi-experimental research design with pretest-posttest control groups was adopted. The participants were composed of 124 fifth grade elementary school students. The data were collected via the SPS test through measurement indicators of observation, classifying, communication, measuring, inference, and prediction aspects. The obtained data were analyzed using independent sample t-test after going through the assumption test of normality, homogeneity and balance. The results of calculating the hypothesis test obtained p = 0.000 at a significance level of 5% indicating that there is a difference between IDW and student SPS. The effect size test was obtained by a percentage of 66.18% so that it can be concluded that the use of IDW based on LoI can effectively increase SPS in elementary school students. Interactive facilities and ease of access as well as the suitability of work stages based on the LoI contribute to student independence and stimulate student SPS in elementary schools during learning during the pandemic.

Observation of the Application of Guided Inquiry Learning Model on Plant Growth and Development Material to Improve Students Science Process Skills

“…On the other hand, the activities of communicating skills can be in the form of presenting information data in oral and written form presented in the form of models, images, graphs, diagrams and tables. Meanwhile, according to Dewi et al (2023) Changing the form of presentation, providing an overview of experimental data through graphs, tables, or diagrams, compiling and submitting reports systematically, explaining experimental results, reading experimental results, discussing experimental results.…”

Digital Problem-Based Worksheet with 3D Pageflip: An Effort to Address Concept Understanding Problems and Enhance Digital Literacy Skills

“…Various digital worksheet research and development projects have been undertaken, including digital worksheets in the form of flipbooks for environmental literacy and pedagogical competence (Sumarmi et al, 2021), digital worksheets with digital puzzles to identify student metacognition (Agung et al, 2023), and digital worksheets based on inquiry level for science process skills (Dewi et al, 2023). The creation of problem-based learning worksheets has also been utilized to increase critical thinking (Syafina & Suparman, 2019), problem-solving skills (Ponjen & Suparman, 2020), and concept-building (Yerizon et al, 2022).…”

Developing Realistic Mathematics Education-Based Worksheets for Improving Students’ Critical Thinking Skills

“…One of the teaching materials used in the school is the student worksheets. The student worksheets guide learners in understanding process skills and material concepts that will be studied (Dewi et al, 2023;Nurfadhillah et al, 2018). RME-based student worksheets can improve students' critical thinking skills (Samura et al, 2022;Susandi & Widyawati, 2022) and suitable for use and fall into the category of both and improved critical thinking skills of learners who use RME-based student worksheets as high (Sari & Putri, 2021).…”
