Attitudes Toward Chemistry

The objective of this research was to investigate the level of students' attitudes toward Chemistry and Learning Experience (ATCLE). The research sample included 191 students (61 male and 130 female) from three universities; Universitas Negeri Mataram, Universitas Islam Negeri Mataram, and IK1P Mataram, Indonesia. The sample has been selected through cluster random sampling and snowballs random sampling. Mixed method research with a descriptive correlational survey model and a semi-structured interview was employed for the study. The data were collected by Chemistry Attitudes and Experiences Questionnaire (CAEQ) and an interview guide. Results showed no significant correlation in the level of attitude toward chemistry based on gender and grades. The finding also revealed that the attitude of pre-service chemistry teachers based on gender and grade were more positive towards research in chemistry than jobs related to chemistry. However, grades influenced the students learning experience, but there was no influence of gender on students learning experience. It is suggested that teachers need to develop a positive attitude toward chemistry and learning experiences of the students through inquiry-based learning practices.

Attitudes towards science is an important construct of science learning which has been affected by many factors. The main purpose of this research was to investigate whether the metacognition strategies predict students’ attitudes towards science. Accordingly, a total of 347 senior secondary students were asked to complete a questionnaire about their metacognition strategies and attitudes towards science. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to evaluate the validity of a structural/latent variable model. Findings revealed several direct and indirect effects among the factors under investigation. Of special importance, metacognition strategies positively predicted attractiveness of science (science is fun), class/teacher activities and family model as variables of students’ attitudes towards science. Attractiveness of science was also found to have effects on the science anxiety and family model was found to have effects on class/teacher activities. One important finding was that metacognition strategies could decrease students’ science anxiety. According to this information, it is recommended that science educators encourage students to employ metacognition strategies in science that may lead to more positive students’ attitudes towards science. Key words: metacognition strategies, attitudes towards science, senior secondary students, structural equation modeling.

This study examined the effect of the SB-CPBL on Jordanian 8th-grade students’ attitude towards science. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed in this study. 120 8th-graders, divided into two groups, were involved in this study. Two groups (60 students, 30 males, and 30 females) were designated as the experimental group; they used the SB-CPBL module for six weeks, while two groups (60 students, 30 males, and 30 females) were designated as the control group and taught conventionally. The validity and reliability of the measurements used, comprising four sub-scales with 40-items, were already robust. The statistical comparison between the groups showed a significant improvement in the SB-CPBL students’ attitudes towards learning science compared with their conventionally-taught counterparts. The findings also confirmed the insignificant effects of gender vis-à-vis attitudes towards science. The results concluded the effectiveness of SB-CPBL approach in improving students’ attitudes towards science in school settings.

Attitudes Toward Students

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of learning methods on students’ mathematics learning outcomes, find out the influence of students’ attitudes toward students’ mathematics learning outcomes. Moreover, to know the influence of learning methods and students’ attitudes together with the students’ mathematics learning outcomes. Sample used from the affordable population were taken by 20 people as samples of instrument test and 64 people as research samples using proportional random samplingtechniquefromall VIIgradeinstate SMP 7 andstate SMP 8 Depok West Java. Data collection is carried out by the technique of giving learning test result and by questionnaire dispersion. The data analysis consists of testing the research instrument through validity, reliability, difficulty index, and distinguishing strength. Then test the requirement analysis using normality test and homogeneity test. Hypothesis testing with 2 lane ANOVA test and Tukey test. Based on the result of hypotheses and data analisis, summed up some things as follows. 1) The students’ mathematics learning outcomes that were taught using group work methods werehigher than using conventional methods. 2) There is influence of interaction between learning method and student attitude on students’ mathematics learning outcomes. 3) There is difference on the result of mathematics learning by group work method which is better than mathematics learning outcomes with conventional methods, on the group of students with positif attitudes. There is not difference on mathematics learning outcomes by group work methods or conventional methods on the group of students with negative attitudes. Keywords: Learning methods, Student attitudes, Learning outcomes Tujuan dari Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh metode pembelajaran terhadap hasil belajar matematika siswa, mengetahui pengaruh sikap siswa terhadap hasil belajar matematika siswa. Selanjutnya untuk mengetahui pengaruh metode pembelajaran dan sikap siswa secara bersama-sama terhadap hasil belajar matematika siswa. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimen. Sampel yang digunakan dari populasi terjangkau diambil 20 orang sebagai sampel ujicoba instrumen dan 64 orang sebagai sampel penelitian menggunakan teknik proporsional random sampling dari seluruh kelas VII di SMPNegeri 7 dan SMPNegeri 8 Depok Jawa Barat. Pengumpulan data dilaksanakan dengan teknik pemberian tes hasil belajar dan dengan penyebaran angket. Analisis data terdiri dari pengujian instrumen penelitian dengan uji validitas, reliabilitas, indeks kesukaran, dan daya pembeda. Selanjutnya dilakukan uji persyaratan analisis dengan uji normalitas dan uji homogenitas. Pengujian hipotesis dengan uji ANOVA 2 Jalur dan Uji Tukey. Berdasarkan hasil hipotesis dan analisis data, disimpulkan beberapa hal sebagai berikut: 1) Hasil belajar matematika siswa yang diajar dengan menggunakan metode kerja kelompok lebih tinggi dari pada dengan menggunakan metode konvensional. 2) Terdapat pengaruh interaksi antara metode pembelajaran dan sikap siswa terhadap hasil belajar matematika siswa. 3) Ada perbedaan hasil belajar matematika dengan metode kerja kelompok lebih baik dari pada hasil belajar matematika dengan metode konvensional pada kelompok siswa yang bersikap positif. Tidak ada perbedaan hasil belajar matematika dengan metode kerja kelompok maupun metode konvensional pada kelompok siswa yang bersikap negatif Kata Kunci: Metode pembelajaran, Sikap siswa, Hasil belajar
