Science Process of Environmental Conservation: Cross National Study of Thai and Indonesian Pre-service Science Teachers

Abstract

This study aimed to preliminary study science process of novice science teacher students on environmental conservation based on local wisdom. Participants were 95 novice science teachers from Thailand and 71 from Indonesia. Data were collected through scientific literacy questionnaire on Baduy’s society. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, and non-parametric statistics were used. Findings showed that Thai teacher students had mean score of science process higher than Indonesian teacher students at 0.05 level of statistics. Science process on environmental conservation need to be implemented in teacher students due to it can make them to meet real science.
