Improving Conceptual Understanding of Density and Buoyancy of Liquids through Common Knowledge Construction Model

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the Common Knowledge Construction Model (CKCM) on 10th-grade students’ conceptual understanding of the buoyancy and density of liquids topic. Within a pre-experimental (one group pre-test/post-test) research design, this study was conducted with 22 of 10th-grade students. To collect data, the Word Association Test (WAT) and Structural Grid (SG) were employed as pre- and post-test. Students’ conceptual understanding of the states of objects in different positions (swimming, sinking, and suspending) in the liquid was determined by means of the SG. Through the WAT, the cognitive structure of the students for the stimulus words of mass, volume, density, buoyancy, and Archimedes was determined. According to the post-tests for the SG questions, it was determined that there was a significant increase in the number of correct boxes selected and a significant decrease in the number of incorrect boxes selected. In addition, it was determined that the mind map obtained from the post-WAT, which revealed the cognitive structures of the students, had a much more interrelated and complex network. The findings obtained are compared with other related studies in the literature and some suggestions for teaching science subjects of CKCM are given.

Efforts to Remediate Misconceptions in Cell Materials Using the Think Talk Write Learning Model

In cell material, many concepts are abstract and can cause students to experience difficulties in understanding them. Every concept in biology learning is interconnected so that every concept that is built can influence the formation of the next concept. However, often students' initial concepts are misconceptions, namely the concepts possessed by students conflict with the concepts raised by experts. A good learning experience is needed so that students can understand the concept correctly. One learning model that provides a learning experience to discover and understand concepts is the Think Talk Write learning model. The purpose of this research is to remediate misconceptions about cell material by using the Think Talk Write learning model. This study used an experimental method with the type of pre-experimental research and one-group pretest-posttest research design. The subjects in this study were students of class XI IPA at SMA Muhammadiyah 5 Rancaekek consisting of 36 students. Based on the results of data processing, it was found that misconceptions in the pretest resulted in 12.78% and in the posttest it decreased to 6.25%. So it can be concluded that the Think Talk Write learning model can reduce students' misconceptions about cell material.

Anemia is the main cause of maternal death. Pregnant women who suffer from anemia will experience postpartum bleeding, as a result of this bleeding the mother will experience prolonged health problems and even result in death The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of giving dates to increase Hb levels in pregnant women. This research design uses a Pre-experimental design research method (One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design), namely by means of a nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design comparing two groups, namely the experimental class and the control class. The sample in this study were all pregnant women who experienced anemia as many as 30 respondents. The results of the analysis showed that the average hemoglobin level of anemic pregnant women who were given blood-boosting tablets was 10.4 gr/dl. Hemoglobin levels of anemic pregnant women before being given dates averaged 9.0 gr/dl and after being given dates averaged 10.0 gr/dl and above. In raising Hb levels in pregnant women who experience anemia, date fruit is more effectively consumed with Fe tablets compared to consuming Fe tablets alone with a value of p = 0.045 (p <0.05) that there is an effectiveness of giving date fruit with an increase in Hb levels in pregnant women in PMB “F” in 2022 with a value of p = 0.045 (p <0.05).
