Philosophical and Methodological Analysis of the Transformation of Paradigms of Science and Education

The article provides a philosophical analysis of nonlinear thinking, shows the relationship of paradigmatic changes in the “science – education” system. The essence of the concepts of instability and nonlinearity in the framework of the theory of synergetics is revealed. The transformation of the paradigm of science and its influence on the model of education is shown. The paradigm of education in a digital society is considered. The position is substantiated that the theoretical and methodological basis of the dynamics of socio-cultural reality is synergetics and nonlinear analysis.

Development of Biological Science Learning Modules for Class VII SMPN 21 Palu

The instructional resources employed in the educational process at SMP Negeri 21 Palu consisted of teacher’s handbooks and students’ books. Nevertheless, the efficacy of the learning process has been lacking. The students’ learning outcomes were found to be low, particularly in the field of Science, as indicated by the researchers’ observations. The results revealed that the Minimum Completeness Criteria (MCC) for Science was 65. Approximately 55% of the pupils in the class attained standard scores. The utilization of students’ textbooks necessitated the provision of explanations and a teacher’s guide. However, due to time constraints, the students’ learning process was hindered, resulting in instructors being unable to offer optimal explanations and guidance to the students. Therefore, it encompasses the development of novel instructional resources that learners may effectively utilize. One of the available options for students to utilize is the renewal of modules. Science modules have the potential to foster home-based learning among students due to the inclusion of supplementary resources, such as student guides, that facilitate the study of the module content.
