Progression of Scientific Reasoning and Metacognitive Regulation of Secondary Students in the New K-12 Curriculum in Blended Learning Environment

Published: 03 May 2020 Publication History

Abstract

The new K-12 curriculum aims to improve the reasoning skills of the learners as they moved from one level to another. In line with this, the researcher made a cross-sectional study on the scientific reasoning skills across Grades 7,10, and 12 as well as their metacognitive regulation skills under teachers who use blended learning approach in the new K-12 curriculum which is a combination of face to face interaction and an online platform in teaching Physics. The teachers used ck12.org as an online platform for assignments and quizzes in their Physics classes. The researchers chose two sections per grade level. The study consisted of 49 grade 7 students and 54 grade 10, and 45 grade 12 students. A total of 148 students participated in the study. The researcher found out that in terms of scientific reasoning, grade 7 has no significant difference with grade 10. However, both grade 7 and grade 10 have significant difference in scientific reasoning with grade 12. In terms of metacognitive regulation, the three groups (grade 7, 10 and 12) have no significant difference. Using Pearson r correlation, the study suggested that there is no significant correlation between scientific reasoning and metacognitive regulation.
