Book Description
The following dissertation is a cumulative thesis which consists of four articles and one book chapter. The articles are all written in English. Three articles have been published in international journals for science education research, one article is under review, a book chapter was published in the book of collection of invited papers by the 24th Symposium on Chemistry and Science Education held at the University of Bremen, in June 1-3, 2018. The first 3 articles are based on studies regarding socio-scientific issue (SSI)-based education in Indonesia, which involved science teachers, either in-service science teachers (ISTs) or pre-service science teachers (PSTs). These studies serve as empirical base derived from the experience and view of teachers for the needs to develop SSI-based science teaching materials which support the SSI-based education movement in Indonesia. As the follow up of the empirical studies, an SSI-based teaching unit using an Indonesian context was developed and implemented. The first and second studies are respectively about the ISTs and the PSTs experience and views regarding SSI-based education. The challenges that were considered barriers for teachers to incorporate SSIs in their science teaching in class and potentials of SSI-based instruction in Indonesian school settings, particularly about the students' and the teachers' competencies that can be enhanced, as well as the students' characters that can be developed through SSI-based education, were explored. In addition to that, topics potentially of value to incorporate SSI-based instruction according to teachers' views were identified. Furthermore, the teachers' intension to implement SSI-based science instruction in their teaching despite the potential challenges and focusing benefits of corresponding teaching practices was explored. The third study is a case study about the PSTs teaching experience in using daily life contexts when they teach in their teaching internship program. How the PSTs taught environmental pollution, which can be considered as highly related to SSIs, was investigated. Furthermore, whether or not the PSTs taught the topic in an SSI-based teaching fashion was explored. The fourth study is about the implementation of an SSI-based teaching unit using palm oil-based biodiesel in Indonesia. According to the first three studies, involving ISTs and PSTs, the teachers rarely teach under SSI framework. Moreover, at their teacher education program, PSTs never learned about the SSI-framework during their courses. The teachers acknowledged some challenges to conduct SSI-based instruction, such as students' lack of competencies, teachers' lack of experience and expertise in SSI-based teaching, the curriculum constrains, as well as time limitations. However, the teachers had positive views about the students' competencies and characters that can be enhanced through SSI-based education. Despite all the challenges and potentials of SSI-based teaching in their eyes, the teachers would like to implement SSI-based instruction in their classes. The third study showed that SSI was not intentionally used in the PSTs lesson plans nor in the teaching practices although the PSTs considered that the topic of environmental pollution fulfilled the characteristic of SSIs. By the result and discussion of these three studies, it is suggested that science teaching based on SSIs should be more taught at the teacher education programs, either in the pedagogical or the science courses. By giving the science teacher candidates experience on how science class is undertaken in the light of SSI-based instruction, it is hoped that it will increase their knowledge, experience, and expertise about SSI-based education and serves as their reference how to integrate SSI-based teaching when they will become a teacher in the future. For that reason, an SSI-based teaching unit derived from the palm oil-based issue in Indonesia was developed and implemented to the PSTs at a chemistry unit. The student teachers clearly gave positive feedback about the teaching unit. As another SSI, the thesis suggest the topic of genetically modified rice.

Studies in Educational Learning Environments
Author: Swee Chiew GohPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9789812380562
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The study of classroom and school learning environments and their effects on students' learning has been going on for more than a century. Past efforts in the study of the learning environment and its determinants have indicated that it plays a major role in improving teaching and learning in primary, secondary and higher education.This book covers various dimensions of the learning environment, its underlying theory, the impact on learning, the curriculum and classroom management. It is organized in such a way as to provide a cross-national and multi-cultural forum for presenting and discussing research findings, as well as development and applications of various techniques and instruments in learning environment research.

Schooling in the ASEAN Region
Author: T. Neville PostlethwaitePublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483157989
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Schooling in the ASEAN Region evaluates primary and secondary education in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. The book describes the type of present-day schooling in these countries and, to some extent, their cooperative efforts to pursue common goals. The text discusses the aims of schooling; the structure and process of schooling; and the cooperative education ventures present in the ASEAN region. The book describes the social conditions and government efforts toward developing education in each of the five countries. The text summarizes the historical background of the country as it relates to education, the quality and supply of teachers, the curriculum, administrative structure of the educational system, and some data on school enrollment. The book also notes the problems that are present in the educational system of each country, and the existence of non-formal education in some countries. The book then addresses the education trend and future of education. The last chapter then evaluates the performance and achievements of these five countries toward reaching the goals they had set. The book also lists the challenges that these countries face in the future, such as expanding educational needs, improved quality of learning, effective educational structure, administrative efficiency, teacher supply, and better intercountry cooperation. The text can prove informative for historians, educators, school administrators, government policymakers in education, and education students and professors.
A Vision for Science Education

Book Description
One of the most important and consistent voices in the reform of science education over the last thirty years has been that of Peter Fensham. His vision of a democratic and socially responsible science education for all has inspired change in schools and colleges throughout the world. Often moving against the tide, Fensham travelled the world to promote his radical ideology. He was appointed Australia's first Professor of Science Education, and was later made a Member of the Order of Australia in recognition of his work in this new and emerging field of study. In this unique book, leading science educators from around the world examine and discuss Fensham's key ideas. Each describes how his arguments, proposals and recommendations have affected their own practice, and extend and modify his message in light of current issues and trends in science education. The result is a vision for the future of science teaching internationally. Academics, researchers and practitioners in science education around the world will find this book a fascinating insight into the life and work of one of the foremost pioneers in science education. The book will also make inspiring reading for postgraduate students of science education.
