The formation of students' scientific attitudes through the neuroscience-based inquiry model in physics learning

Abstract

Various efforts have been made to improve student abilities. However, the fact that science skills are currently experiencing a decline again to the 2018 PISA report. Physics learning should not only focus on improving students 'cognitive abilities, but also the development of students' scientific character. The purpose of this research is to form students' scientific attitudes. This type of research is a Quasi Experiment using a neuroscience-based inquiry model. The research was conducted in one of the Senior High Schools in Class Ten in Eastern Indonesia. The indicators of the scientific attitude instrument being studied consisted of curiosity, cooperation, perseverance, and creativity. The data were collected using a scientific attitude questionnaire and documentation. Data were analyzed quantitatively. The results showed that scientific attitudes towards curiosity, collaboration, and creativity could be formed well through the neuroscience-based inquiry model in physics learning. However, for the diligent indicator, the formation is not optimal when compared to the other three indicators. Based on the research findings, this research is good to be applied and investigated further in shaping the scientific attitudes of students.
