Constructing Scientific Thinking Assessment Questions Based on Textbooks
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the context of implementing the 2018 General Education Program, assessing students' scientific thinking is a crucial requirement; however, the availability of assessment tools poses a significant challenge for teachers. Employing the Action Research (AR) method, we propose a process for designing scientific thinking assessment questions based on utilizing available materials in textbooks. A three-step process was designed and applied to construct 5 illustrative question sets based on data from the Physics 12 textbook. The research results provide a theoretical framework and a universal tool enabling teachers to utilize textbooks to design scientific thinking assessment question sets suitable for various teaching activities. The flexibility of this process allows for its application to be extended to other natural science subjects such as Chemistry and Biology.
