| Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to design a simulation learning environment to enhance scientific explanation on the topic of acid-base for grade 11 students. The target group consisted of three experts, who reviewed for the designing a simulation learning environment to enhance scientific explanation. The study was survey research and there were development processes: 1) examining and analyzing the principles and theories, 2) reviewing literatures, 3) studying relevant contexts, 4) synthesis of framework for the designing of simulation learning environment and 5) development of simulation learning environment. Research instruments used included 1) simulated learning environment, 2) theory framework evaluation form and 3) learning environment evaluation form. The data was analyzed using basic statistics: mean, standard deviation and percentage. The study results revealed that the theoretical framework consisted of two components: 1) learning environment and 2) scientific explanation. The evaluated results of a theoretical framework for simulation learning environment to enhance scientific explanation on the topic of acid-base for grade 11 students from the experts found that the average mean ("X" ̅) was 0.84, standard deviation (S.D.) was 0.29, representing 83.35%. the process of designing a simulation learning environment to enhance scientific explanation found that the simulation learning environment consisted of six components: 1) simulated problem base, 2) scientific explanation, 3) resource, 4) scaffolding center, 5) collaboration and 6) coaching. Results of this found that the average mean ("X" ̅) was 0.88, standard deviation (S.D.) was 0.22, representing 87.51%. |
