This paper analyzes the implementation of socio-scientific issues (SSI) as an alternative in science learning. The content analysis approach is used for mapping implementation of social-scientific problems around the world and is created using the ArcGIS 10.5 program. The findings highlight how the distribution patterns of SSI implementation are…

Evolution is one of biology topics which covers a wide range of material taught across education levels. Unfortunately, the material has not been arranged according to its complexity level and students' development. This study aimed to collect teachers' opinions about the learning continuum of evolution material based on its complexity level. This…

One of the overlapping curriculum designs indicates the mismatch of teaching materials with the cognitive level process and student development, impacting the unstructured qualification of mastery of the material. On the other hand, the breadth and depth of teaching materials in the curriculum must be following students' mental development and…

The 21st century education engages students to have higher order thinking and scientific literacy skills. However, these abilities in Indonesia are still relatively low, especially students' scientific literacy skills. One solution to the problem of low scientific literacy skills in Indonesia is the application of STEM education. However, as…

This research aims at comparing item characteristics of instruments for assessing the level of mastery in scientific method for elementary students as they were analyzed using Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT). The two analyses are usually done separately, for difference object, in this moment it was analyzed…

An evaluation of the national curriculum by practitioners suggests that learning materials across school levels still overlap, are irrelevant to student development phases and competencies required, too challenging for students to learn, too broad in terms of topics, and lacking in depth. This evaluation encourages the needs for special studies…
