Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic that strike Indonesia and the whole world back in 2020 forced the education system to be changed and adapted to the situation. Science learning, in particular, affected greatly by the changes, such as the implementation of distance learning and some curriculum alterations. These changes may or may not have changed the students’ attitudes toward science. The need to examine how did COVID-19 changed the students’ attitudes toward science arise. For that reason, this research is conducted to investigate the differences between students’ attitudes toward science before and during COVID-19 pandemic. In this research, 348 junior high school students from 107 junior high schools and 20 provinces across Indonesia participated as a respondent. A questionnaire about Attitudes toward Science, which consists of 32 statements and one open answer question, is distributed online as data collection tool. The result from data analysis showed the total average score between before and during COVID-19 pandemic is 71.81 and 67.81 respectively. Since there is a significant difference, N-Gain score is calculated. The N-Gain score gained from that average is 0.14, which is interpreted as decrease in efficiency. Based on the N-Gain score for each scale of attitudes toward science, the highest improvement is Unfavorable Outlook with 0.12 and interpreted as low improvement. For Attitudes toward Science and Science Learning, Control Beliefs, Behavioral Beliefs, and Intention, the NGain scores are -0.32, -0.27, -0.08 and -0.08 respectively. These components are interpreted as decreasing. Therefore, the junior high school students’ attitudes toward science before COVID-19 pandemic is better than during COVID-19 pandemic.
