Abstract
One of the goals of learning science based on the 2013 curriculum is to develop students- reasoning abilities and and lead them to be independent. One form of reasoning abilities is an abductive reasoning which is a process of the best hypothesis that begins with observing facts, proposing hypotheses or making the most reasonable answers. When someone does this process, he is, basically, on the early stages of abductive inquiry process. When students formulate hypotheses, it is possible to formulate the different hypotheses between one student and the other students. This study aims to identify the characteristics of the types of students- abductive in science by implementing the abductive inquiry model (AIM) integrated a connected type to global warming material. This is a qualitative research, the instruments used are audio recordings of student and teacher dialogues during learning activity and observation sheets to captue student abduction type adopted from Shurcz. The subjects in this study were 30 VII grade students in one of the Middle Schools in Lembang who were selected using a purposive sampling. Students are divided into 6 groups and discussed different sub- topics related to global warming material. The results showed that the abductive type of students in science learning using integrated MIA connected types varied among groups; abductive theoretical, existential abductive models and abductive laws or rules. The implications of abductive inquiry learning in science and relevant research are highly recommended with different material.

Our logic gate board game was created to be an alternative way for communicating contents and developing children-s self-motivation in the informal context. Three logic gates—AND-gate, OR-gate, and NOT-gate—were embedded in the mechanism of the board game. With the game interaction, the main goal is to encourage the children to create their own strategies to complete a mission by using conditions (gates). A fairy tale was used to engage the children to play the game. We investigated children-s understanding and intrinsic motivation through playing the board game in the informal context. The participants of this study were 21 primary children who participated in a one-day camp at the science museum. To examine the children-s motivation, the data was collected by an intrinsic motivation survey, a behavior observation checklist, and an interview, while a conceptual knowledge test, and the interview were utilized to gather the children-s understanding. All data were collected and analyzed by mixed methods. The participants were introduced the rules and the context of the game before playing the game. During the game play, the children-s interaction with friends and the game were observed. The children were assessed by completing the test and the survey consecutively. Then, a debriefing session was held at the end of the assessment. Some voluntary children were interviewed to investigate both their understanding and motivation. The results of the survey show the success in promoting the children-s intrinsic motivation, e.g. perceived learning, engagement, immersion, challenge, and skills. Particularly, the engagement factor has the highest frequency on the survey. Corresponding to the interview result, the engagement, enjoyment, concentration, and interest were the most mentioned. From the observation, it seems that the children were completely focused throughout the game. Besides, in the understanding aspect, Most students could develop their understanding of the logic gates through the board game. Supported by the interview result, the children mentioned the strategy they used to complete the mission which required their logical thinking. However, it seems that the children still could not apply knowledge gained from the board game to the real-life problem. In contrast to the enjoyment in the game session, they showed uncomfortable faces when they were asking to do the conceptual knowledge test since it did not normally happen in the informal context. Importantly, the board game could be used to promote children-s understanding and motivation of the logic gates in the informal setting.

Abstract
The concept of race has been reported as an essential concept of biological reality and human social construct. Race concept which has no scientific consensus, can be perceived differently by diverse society. This study was intended to explore science and humanities track students perception of race concept by performing semantic network analysis. A total of 412 students from science and humanities track have participated. The result illustrated that science and humanities students perception about race concept was typically categorized into typological concept of race, race as a social construct, and race as the mixed concept between biology and social. The discrepancy is that science students tend to have a biological view to describe the race as a biological reality. They believe that gene demarcates human classification which leads them to exhibit biological essentialism. This research suggested the educational stakeholder and teacher to consider this crucial issue in science teaching and learning in order to prevent students from the misunderstanding about race concept.

Abstract
TPACK is a unique description of an experienced teacher in integrating the components of teaching such as content, teaching methods and technology into learning units so that students can learning optimally. This study aims to determine whether STEM-based TPACK designed by teachers can foster student attitudes towards science and careers related to engineering jobs. Descriptive analysis of the study was carried out through Lesson Plan analysis that the teacher had designed, the implementation of the lesson plan and student attitudes towards science and engineering careers before and after teaching and learning of the human blood circulatory system. The research data was obtained through an instrument consisting of the Content Representation + Technology (CoRes + T) rubric adapted from Loughran et al. (2012), observation sheet and attitude scale. The study involved a science teacher and 14 students from the Junior Secondary School (SMP) in West Bandung Regency. The results showed that STEM-based TPACK in the lesson plan developed by teachers had demonstrated essential concepts for the topic of human blood circulatory systems (CK), as well as in the selection of models and teaching methods (PK) that were relevant to the concepts chosen and supported to foster the engineering ideas of students. The RPP has also described the technological aspects (TK) that are appropriate to CK and PK. Students attitudes towards science and engineering careers show positive progress from before and after teaching and learning.

Abstract
Understanding of a concept can be said as the ability of learners in expressing and re-explaining the information that has been received each learner. Understanding the concept of students said good when given the problem, learners can solve the problem well. This study aims to see the improvement of students concept understanding during science learning using Problem Based Learning for the concept of pressure in accordance with the curriculum of 2013 class VIII semester II. The research method used is a weak experiment with The One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. This design is used because researchers do not use the control group. This research was conducted in one of class VIII in Secondary high school Negeri in Sidayu District Gresik Regency. Aspects of understanding of concepts seen are limited to only a few aspects, namely aspects of translating, interpreting, and extrapolating. The result of the research shows that there is an increase concept comprehension for each aspect of understanding the concept of pressure in accordance with the calculation of n-gain, ie the translate aspect is 0.52 with the medium category, the interpreting aspect is 0.62 with the medium category, and the extrapolation aspect is 0.47 in the medium category. Based on the results of the calculation of n-gain can be said Problem Based Learning can improve understanding of the concept of pressure students of Secondary high school class VIII.
