How Do Science Content Misconceptions Occur in Primary School Teachers with Teaching Certificates?

Misconceptions are understandings of concepts that are not in accordance with scientific concepts. Teachers have the potential to experience misconceptions and misconceptions that occur in teachers can result in students also experiencing misconceptions. Research that examines science misconceptions in elementary school teachers is still rare, so there is a need for research examining science misconceptions in elementary school teachers, especially in elementary school teachers who are certified educators. Therefore, this study aims at determining whether science misconceptions occur in elementary school teachers with teaching certificates or not and how much misconceptions are experienced and the misconceptions occurred. This study employs descriptive quantitative by involving 17 certified elementary school teachers who are classroom teachers teaching several subjects in elementary schools including science subjects. Data collection was done by conducting a four tier misconception diagnosis test and the result was analyzed using by referring to four tier test concept developed by various researchers. The findings indicated that primary school teachers possessing teaching certificates exhibited science misconceptions at a rate of 22%, placing them in the low category of scientific understanding at 66%. Despite the relatively low occurrence of misconceptions, it is advisable for certified primary school teachers to further enhance their grasp of the concepts they impart to prevent any potential hindrance to the learning process.

The results of this study showed that the average score of the experimental class was 77.83 and the control class was 69.43. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the experimental class was superior to the control class and had a significance value obtained through the t-test before 0.000, which means that there is a significant average difference. The results are then continued on the effect size test to see the magnitude of the influence of the product used. The effect size test result is 0.83 with a very high interpretation. Based on the results of research conducted in class IV, it can be concluded that discovery-based learning modules are effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills.

Teaching English Vocabulary to Young Learners through Group Work

Over the last few decades, teaching English become a phenomenon in our country, especially for young learners. English is taught as a main subject in kindergarten and elementary schools. Like any other children, young learners accept new foreign languages easily, but they get bored very fast if the teacher is teaching them using the old conventional methods and techniques. This paper aims to prove that group work is an effective technique used for young learners' vocabulary acquisition. The study used a quantitative method, with a sample of fifth-grade students in SD Wojo Yogyakarta. The population consisted of 48 students, who were divided into a control class and an experimental class. The experimental class is a class that learns vocabulary through group work, while the control class is a class that conducts conventional methods. The collected data were analyzed using a T-test. The T-test score of 1.68 was found to be less than 0.05. This means that there are differences between learning in groups (group work) and traditional methods. Moreover, group work is more effective than traditional methods in improving young learners' vocabulary mastery.
