Development of Attitude Assessment Instruments towards Socioscientific Issues in Chemistry Learning
European Journal of Educational Research, v11 n4 p1947-1958 2022
A socio-scientific issue is one of the learning techniques used today, which uses various scientific sources to make students think scientifically to conduct a dialogue and discuss solving a problem. Various problems in socio-scientific are controversial, requiring reasoning, and ethical evaluation in the decision-making process. A conflict between chemical reason and students' social point of view will cause students' different assessments and attitudes towards the socio-scientific issue. This study is a research and development (R&D) that focuses on the instrument's validity with the factor analysis technique to assess attitudes towards the socioscientific issue in chemistry learning. CFA and EFA analysis found five factors in the tool: anxiety, interests, likes, benefits, confidence, validity, and reliability. The total reliability coefficient is 0.853. Of the eight instrument feasibility analysis requirements, seven instruments were declared fit to meet construct validity.
