The Assessment of Evaluating and Designing Scientific Enquiry Skills Profile in Senior High School Level on COVID-19 Pandemic Content

This study was intended to analyse the assessment profile of question items included in senior high school documents in which the respective assessment attempted to measure the skills of evaluating and designing scientific enquiry within COVID-19 pandemic related content. The analysis was performed on question items in some documents namely student worksheets, daily tests, midterm tests, and final tests. The documents were collected from six state and private schools in Bandung. Schools were then selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The research instrument employed was validation rubric on evaluating and designing scientific enquiry skills based on PISA framework (2018). The assessment documents were analyzed using descriptive method. The result indicated that only a few parts (1,4%) of the question items were valid to be used in measuring the evaluating and designing scientific enquiry skills on COVID-19 pandemic related content. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc..

Lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic using the Education for Sustainability Development Oriented RADEC learning model

The COVID-19 pandemic has lasted for more than 2 years. The education sector is one of the most influential fields to apply online learning policies. Indonesia has implemented online learning since the pandemic in 2020. This study aims to provide an overview of knowledge during the COVID-19 pandemic using the education for sustainable development (ESD)-oriented read, answer, discuss, explain and create (RADEC) model. This study used the descriptive method by providing an overview of the ESD-oriented RADEC learning process in the basic concepts of biology and science for prospective elementary schoolteachers. The research subjects were 33 prospective elementary schoolteacher students who contracted courses. The instruments used were observation sheets, documentation and a questionnaire. The results showed that lectures using the ESD-oriented RADEC model could be an alternative for online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the ESD-oriented RADEC model may allow universities to instil the concept of ESD related to knowledge, attitudes and values that can support sustainable development. © 2022 Birlesik Dunya Yenilik Arastirma ve Yayincilik Merkezi.
