Strategies To Improve Teachers' Pedagogical Skills in Science Learning

Abstract

This research aims to develop effective strategies to enhance teachers' pedagogical skills in science learning. Employing a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the study investigates current challenges and gaps in pedagogical practices within science education. Data collection methods include literature review, observation, and questionnaire, followed by qualitative datat analysis involving data reduction, presentation, and conclusion, as well as descriptive analysis of quantitative data. The research findings indicate that effective strategies for improving teachers' pedagogical skills in science learning encompass the development of teacher competencies in content delivery, technology utilization, interpersonal interaction management, and resource utilization. The implementation of these strategies has been shown to significantly enhance teachers' pedagogical skills in science learning, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Thus, this research provides a significant contribution to enhancing science learning practices through the improvement of teachers' pedagogical skills.
