Students’ academic success is dependent on several affective factors. Critical among these factors is students’ attitude. Hence, the need to view attitude as an outcome rather than influence, becomes imperative. The Activity, Student-centered, Experiment, Improvisation-Plan, Do, See, Improve (ASEI-PDSI) approach is a pedagogical model for strengthening mathematics and science education in Nigeria and thought to promote positive attitudinal change towards learning. Hence, this study investigated the effects of ASEI-PDSI approach on Senior School students’ attitude towards Chemistry. The study was a quasi-experimental one, the sample comprised 139 SSI students from two randomly selected co-educational schools in Ilorin, Nigeria. The ASEI-Instructional Package (ASEI-IP) was the stimulus instrument while the Attitude Towards Chemistry Scale (ATCS) was the test instrument. The reliability of ATCS was found to be 0.68. The data gathered were analysed using Analysis of Covariance and t-test statistics. The finding revealed that ASEI-PDSI approach did not bring about any significant change in attitude towards chemistry. The study concluded that ASEI-PDSI approach might not promote students’ attitude towards chemistry all the time.

This study aims to analyze the need for the development of learning books in the form of research and development (R&D) model books to deal with student misconceptions in final project writing. This study analyzes student needs so that practical actions can be found in the early stages of developing research books. The development of R&D books that is carried out is expected to be able to deal with student misconceptions. Errors in understanding R&D are often experienced by students in the mentoring process which emphasizes the end result rather than the development process. The proposed solution is to use misconseption analysis (MA). This type of research is research and development or R&D (research and development) which refers to the ADDIE model with data analysis techniques using descriptive statistics. This stage is the initial stage of ADDIE, namely analysis. Data were obtained from 11 student respondents from a university consisting of three men and eight women. Based on the data collected, the results of student assumptions in understanding development research are not in accordance with actual understanding. The assumption data for students’ understanding of R&D development is 18.18% very understanding, 27.27% understanding, 36.36% quite understanding, 18.18% do not understand. 0.00% don’t understand. Whereas in fact the understanding of students in R&D development is 0.00% very understanding, 9.09% understands, 27.27% understands quite well, 36.36% does not understand, and 27.27% does not understand. The majority of students in research using the R&D method experience misconceptions. The concept that they believed was correct, it turned out that after being studied there were several mistakes or misunderstandings. Students do not get the main source of input in the mentoring process. The misconception is also caused by the fact that in writing a thesis, students have not received references that are studied in depth about the development model.

Distance learning is an alternative for implementing learning during the covid-19 pandemic. However, this system cannot be separated from problems, including the number of student complaints because of the tasks that must be done from each subject. This problem motivated us to carry out a qualitative research into the implementation of project-based learning that we have designed, using one integrated student worksheet for all subjects. This study aims to find a learning design that can minimize the burden and be able to contribute in developing students’ critical thinking by implementing education for sustainable development (ESD). The analysis was carried out using Transcript Based Lesson Analysis (TBLA). Based on the results of the analysis, it is proven that this learning is able to stimulate the active role of students in the learning process; building critical thinking skills of students in providing simple explanations by 17.39%, basic skills in observing and considering observations by 43.48%, stating hypotheses by 16.67% and deciding the action to be taken by 22.46%. From the results of the analysis of student conversation transcripts and questionnaires distributed to students, parents, and teachers, it can be concluded that this learning is able to reduce the accumulation of assignments, build students’ conceptual understanding, touch social, economic, and environmental aspects, build critical thinking skills and good character for students.

Learners bring various misconceptions to class. The study explored learners’ misconception prevalence about heat and temperature among Grade nine Natural Sciences learners. A single case study design with 30 Grade nine learners from one secondary school in Magatle Circuit. The Heat and Temperature Concept Questionnaire (HTCQ) was used to elicit learners’ misconceptions. For each questionnaire item, percentage frequencies of incorrect, correct, and unanswered responses were calculated. The overall prevalence of misconceptions regarding heat and temperature among learners ranged from 40 to 93% (Mean 68.0% SD = 6.3), with the highest prevalence in thermal dynamic questions. The correct responses ranged from 0 to 57% (Mean = 25.1, SD = 7.1) where most learners scored between 20-30%, while unanswered questions ranged from 0 to 13% (Mean = 6.9, SD = 1.3). These results show a high prevalence of misconceptions. They could not explain how heat travels within molecules of different objects because of the lack of a link between every knowledge and school science. The findings of this study have several implications for classroom planning, teaching, and the designing of learning materials.

Globally, the provision of robust education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is viewed as a vital ingredient in the economic success of any nation. Studies suggest a strong correlation between advances in the STEM fields and superiority of the leading economies of the world. Unfortunately, Africa seriously lags behind in the provision and delivery of quality STEM education. The purpose of this study is to review and consider the role that STEM education plays in the attainment of sustainable livelihoods for the African continent. The study also outlines and explores current challenges facing the delivery of STEM education in the schooling systems in Africa, with a sharp focus on sub-Saharan Africa. This study primarily utilized the conceptual analysis method and review of literature from research articles and scientific reports related to STEM education. The study revealed that the main issues that hinder the growth of STEM education in Africa include, the shortage of qualified STEM teachers, overcrowded classrooms, lack of resources, outdated curricula and inadequate teachers’ content and pedagogical content knowledge. In particular, of all the African students enrolled in higher education institutions, less than 25% of them are pursuing STEM qualifications, and of those students, only 30% are female. Several recommendations are suggested to the relevant stakeholders to address the challenges established in order to empower sub-Saharan Africa through solid STEM education.

Graduates from undergraduate education contributed 6.31% to the unemployment rate. The Higher Education is expected to develop curriculum and learning not only scientifically oriented, but also facilitate life skills for its graduates. This study aims to analyze the profile of students about microbiology learning based on bioentrepreneurship. The research method is descriptive exploratory. The research subjects were 60 students who had taken microbiology courses in the Biology Education Study Program at FPMIPATI, Universitas PGRI Semarang, which consisted of semesters 7, 9, and 11. The instrument was a closed questionnaire with a choice of answers using the Guttman scale. A questionnaire on student perceptions of microbiology learning based on bioentrepreneurship was developed referring to perceptual indicators, namely knowledge and interest in entrepreneurship, knowledge of microbiology, relevance of microbiology concepts, bioentrepreneurship. Indicators developed in 25 questions and validated by experts and valid. The results showed that overall, the average score was 2.17. From each element, the highest average score is the Innovation element (3,4) and the lowest score from organizational creation and growth (1). Based on the data, the bioentrpreneurship profile is still low. Therefore, it is necessary to recommend the development of a learning program oriented towards bioentreprenurship in microbiology lectures.

This study aims to determine the significant effect of the application of the reading and map concept learning models teams games tournament with the help of picture cards and snake ladders on students' critical thinking skills on the material excretion system. This type of research is quasi experimental with a nonequivalent control group design using purposive sampling in class VIII D and class VIII E from the population in class VIII A to class VIII H. The research data were obtained from pretest and posttest scores and questionnaire sheets. The results of the t-test analysis related to critical thinking skills showed -0.13 in the initial data and 10.47 in the final data. Analysis of N-gain on increasing students' critical thinking skills results 0.80 (high) for the experimental class and 0.38 (moderate) for the control class. The results of the questionnaire sheet analysis showed a percentage of 89.30% with a very good category. Based on this it was concluded that learning using the reading and map concept team games tournament model with the help of picture cards and snake ladder on the excretion system material affects the improvement of students' critical thinking skills.
