Identification of Students’ Comprehension of Radiation Concept Using Rasch Analysis

This community service was conducted using a survey method. The survey aimed to test the understanding of high school students regarding the dangers of radiation exposure from the surrounding environment. Participants in this activity were 48 students (35 science students and 13 social science students) from a high school in Majalaya, Bandung Regency. The instrument used was a two-tier diagnostic test consisting of 4 essay questions related to physics concepts concerning radiation exposure. The analysis of the test results was divided into two parts: conception analysis and Rasch analysis. The conception analysis was done by interpreting students' answers and categorizing them into five conception categories: Full Understanding (FU), Partial Understanding (PU), Misconception (MC), Not Understanding (NU), and No Coding (NC). This categorization was presented in percentage form. The Rasch analysis was conducted based on the distribution of students' answers and item bias detection to identify the spread of students' answers to each question item and the biases present. First, the conception analysis results showed that 53% of students were included in the FU category, while only 5% were in the Not Understanding (NU) category. This indicates that students' understanding of the dangers of radiation exposure is quite good, as more than half of the participants are in the FU category. Second, the Rasch analysis results based on the distribution of students' answers showed that more students could answer basic comprehension questions compared to classification and analysis-based questions. Additionally, the Rasch analysis results based on item bias detection indicated that there was no gender or academic major bias in the four question items.

Comprehensive and Understanding of PM2.5 among Thai High School Students

The majority of Thai people prefer to spend their time participating in outdoor activities. However, Thailand is considered a polluted country, and Bangkok is ranked as the most polluted city in the country. Younger generations faced an issue of lacking awareness about PM2.5. As a consequence of encountering particulate fine particles, individuals may be at high risk of developing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, none of the researchers have ever conducted a survey researching the comprehensiveness and understanding of high school students in Thailand about PM2.5. Hence, this research aims to analyze and determine understanding among Thai high school students in Thailand. The research was conducted through an online survey consisting of 21-multiple choice questions. With 133 individuals participating in the survey, the mean score was rounded up to 13.65, illustrating the comprehension level of high school students to be on an average scale. From analyzing the correlation between the two variables, the F value was 0.27. According to mean value, the most prominent fundamental reasons for having average knowledge on fine particles may be a consequence of not including the topic into school’s syllabus and low promotion in the media, such as newspapers and social media. Thus, this research aims to raise awareness, concern, and comprehension among high school students about the effects of PM2.5.

An investigation of item bias in the four-tier diagnostic test using Rasch model

The existence of item bias in a set of measuring instruments can threaten the instrument’s validity. Based on the Rasch model, this study evaluated item bias in the four-tier heat and temperature diagnostic test (4T-HTDT). This study used a cross-sectional quantitative survey method. There were 241 students selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The 4T-HTDT instrument consisted of 20 items grouped into five concept groups. Students’ conceptual understanding was grouped into five categories, namely scientific knowledge (Rating=5), false positive (Rating=4), false negative (Rating=3), misconceptions (Rating=2), and lack of knowledge (Rating=1). The differential item functioning (DIF) score was used to evaluate item bias in the 4T-HTDT. Bias was reviewed based on the respondent’s gender, class, and school. The item has DIF if the probability value is <5%. The results showed that 35% (7 out of 20 items) spread over five groups of heat and temperature concepts were biased. However, excluding seven DIF items from the measurement set would not significantly affect the composition and distribution of items. Thus, the 13 items in the 4T-HTDT instrument are free from bias and can be used to evaluate the conceptual understanding of high school students.

Development of a test instrument using multiple representations to assess students understanding: A Rasch Model Analysis

Today's test instruments used in schools are still ineffective in assessing students' multi-representational understanding of the "rate of reaction" topic. Hence, teachers need to accurately and comprehensively know the depth of students' understanding. In this study, a test instrument was produced to assess the level of macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic understanding of high school students in the rates of reaction topic. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) based on the Rasch modeling approach, which is modified in ten stages, i.e., (1) defining construct, (2) identifying question indicators, (3) compiling items, scoring rubrics, scoring guidelines, and the guidelines to analyze student's level of understanding, (4) conducting the pilot test, (5) analyzing data with the Rasch model, (6) reviewing the suitability of items, (7) reviewing the Wright map, (8) repeating steps 4-7 until all items fit, (9) claiming the instrument's quality, and (10) documenting the instrument. All items proved valid because they met the fit criteria of MNSQ, ZSTD, and PT Measure scores. Instrument reliability reaches the score of 0.89 (good). The instrument has a four-difficulty index, dominated by moderate difficulty (70.6%). This instrument is relatively easy. The instrument also has four discrimination indexes: very difficult, difficult, medium, and easy. It proves that this assessment instrument is of good quality and suitable for school use.

This study aims to improve students' anti-corruption behavior through the integration of religious education and anti-corruption education subjects. The research method uses an investigative report learning model that focuses on high school students in Gowa Regency as a sample. The investigative report learning model has proven to be successful in increasing the understanding of high school students about anti-corruption actions and behavior. Students' understanding of anti-corruption actions and behavior that initially only revolved around the government level has increased at a wider level, where students are able to identify directly in the field through investigation sheets, such as the home environment and the market environment. Some of the actions that can be identified are the act of reducing the scales, hoarding basic materials, and providing inappropriate materials. Furthermore, the role of religious teachers is also very large by providing interventions in the form of explaining the relationship between the Qur'an and the story of the Prophet Muhammad SAW to students' findings about acts that are considered acts of corruption. The final impact obtained is that students' understanding of anti-corruption actions and behavior will increase and psychologically will help students to avoid acts of corruption and spread the importance of anti-corruption behavior.

Understanding high school students’ errors in solving genetic problems

ABSTRACT This study aimed to provide a deeper understanding of high school students' errors while solving genetics problems. Four students were asked to solve two genetics problems and participate in a modified think-aloud interview. Data from the interview, video clips of the problem-solving process, and test sheets were used to analyse participants’ problem-solving processes and identify errors during each of the following problem-solving phases: understanding, planning, execution, and checking. The error of Misinterpreting evidence was observed in the understanding phase for Problem 1 (represented verbally), whereas the error of Making incorrect assumptions was observed for Problem 2 (students had to draw a pedigree). Errors of Incorrect conclusion occurred in the planning phase, characterised by problem-solving strategies based on incorrect assumptions or misunderstanding the problem due to errors in the understanding phase. Further, Using incomplete representation and Mathematical errors were observed in the execution phase due to representational competence and the application of mathematical principles, respectively. The checking phase was characterised by Not monitoring the problem-solving process and Disregarding evidence, wherein participants failed to check the logical consistency of genetic principles with the information embedded in the problem. The results indicated that problem-solving errors were related to the interaction between the students’ domain-general competencies and domain-specific knowledge.
