civic literacy

Introduction Collaborative problem solving has become a key educational competence, yet existing observational instruments often assess only selected aspects of collaboration, rely on labor-intensive micro-analytic coding, or are tied to specific task contexts. To address these limitations, this study developed and validated the Collaborative Problem Solving Observation Grid (CPS-OG), an evidence-based observational instrument designed to provide a comprehensive, task-independent, macro-level assessment of collaboration quality. The instrument is grounded in four empirically derived dimensions of CPS: socio-cognitive exchange, socio-emotional exchange, task regulation, and group regulation. Method Validation was conducted with 84 groups of secondary school students working in triads ( N = 73) or dyads ( N = 11) on scientific and civic literacy tasks. The psychometric evaluation included analyses of interrater reliability, internal consistency, construct validity, and criterion-related validity. Results Across both task domains, the CPS-OG demonstrated excellent interrater reliability, good internal consistency, and preliminary support for the internal coherence of the four-conceptual dimensions, consistent with findings from a recent systematic review of CPS quality. The four dimensions included in the instrument showed meaningful associations with Mercer's dialogue types and group product quality, providing further evidence of criterion validity. The consistency of findings across scientific and civic literacy tasks indicates the instrument's robustness in different task contexts. Discussion Overall, the findings suggest that the CPS-OG is a reliable and promising observational instrument. It offers a comprehensive approach to monitoring and assessing collaborative problem solving, providing researchers and practitioners with a practical tool for evaluating collaboration across diverse educational tasks.

This research was motivated by the low level of nationalism among students at SMPN 26 Jambi City, as indicated by the lack of awareness in maintaining the school environment, low social concern, lack of solemnity during flag ceremonies, and students’ limited understanding of national insight and national compulsory songs. This study aims to determine the impact of civic literacy on the nationalism of students at SMPN 26 Jambi City. This study employed a quantitative approach with an ex post facto research design. The population of the study consisted of all students of SMPN 26 Jambi City, with a sample of 123 respondents selected using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through the distribution of questionnaires using a 1–4 Likert scale. The research instruments were tested using validity and reliability tests. The data analysis techniques used included normality tests, linearity tests, simple linear regression analysis, t-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results of the study indicate that civic literacy has a significant impact on the nationalism of students at SMPN 26 Jambi City. This is evidenced by the significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and the coefficient of determination value showing that civic literacy contributed 72.1% to students’ nationalism, while the remaining 27.9% was influenced by other factors outside the study. Therefore, it can be concluded that the higher the students’ civic literacy, the higher their nationalism at SMPN 26 Jambi City.

این پژوهش با انگیزه سطح پایین ملی‌گرایی در میان دانش‌آموزان دبیرستان دولتی شماره ۲۶ شهر جامبی انجام شد؛ موضوعی که با فقدان آگاهی در حفظ محیط مدرسه، نگرانی اجتماعی پایین، عدم توجه کافی در مراسم پرچم و درک محدود دانش‌آموزان از بینش ملی و سرودهای ملی اجباری مشهود است. هدف این مطالعه تعیین تأثیر سواد شهروندی بر ملی‌گرایی دانش‌آموزان دبیرستان دولتی شماره ۲۶ شهر جامبی است. این پژوهش با رویکرد کمی و طرح پژوهش علی-مقایسه‌ای (ex post facto) انجام شد. جامعه آماری شامل کلیه دانش‌آموزان دبیرستان دولتی شماره ۲۶ شهر جامبی بود و نمونه‌ای متشکل از ۱۲۳ نفر با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی طبقه‌ای متناسب انتخاب شد. گردآوری داده‌ها از طریق توزیع پرسشنامه با مقیاس لیکرت ۱ تا ۴ انجام گرفت. ابزارهای پژوهش با آزمون‌های روایی و پایایی مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفتند. تکنیک‌های تحلیل داده‌ها شامل آزمون نرمالیتی، آزمون خطی بودن، تحلیل رگرسیون خطی ساده، آزمون t و ضریب تعیین (R²) بود. نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که سواد شهروندی تأثیر معناداری بر ملی‌گرایی دانش‌آموزان دبیرستان دولتی شماره ۲۶ شهر جامبی دارد. این امر با مقدار معناداری ۰٫۰۰۰ < ۰٫۰۵ و مقدار ضریب تعیین که نشان می‌دهد سواد شهروندی ۷۲٫۱٪ از ملی‌گرایی دانش‌آموزان را تبیین می‌کند، در حالی که ۲۷٫۹٪ باقیمانده توسط عوامل دیگری خارج از پژوهش تأثیر می‌پذیرد، اثبات می‌شود. بنابراین می‌توان نتیجه گرفت که هرچه سواد شهروندی دانش‌آموزان بالاتر باشد، ملی‌گرایی آنان در دبیرستان دولتی شماره ۲۶ شهر جامبی نیز بالاتر خواهد بود.
