Meta-Analysis of Tri Hita Karana in Experimental Quasi-Research of Science Learning

Abstract

Local wisdom is a cultural heritage from human ancestors that must be re-earthed because its current position has been shifted by the currents of globalization. The integration of the Tri Hita Karana (THK) concept in science learning becomes a very important thing to be implemented immediately related to the urgency of sociocultural life that leads to Society 5.0 and aspects of cultural literacy in 6Cs Competency. In science learning, THK can be used to teach students to "think local act global". This study aims to examine: 1) the effectiveness of THK in quasi-experimental research in science learning, and 2) the design of data analysis techniques for quasi-experimental research with the integration of THK in science learning. Furthermore, this research is included in the type of meta-analysis research that examines the literature or references quantitatively based on the effect size of the combination of each previous study. This research systematically uses the PRISMA research protocol to explore in-depth research articles related to THK elements from 2017 to 2021 in the science learning process. The results showed that 1) the application of various types of learning models using the THK perspective which was applied to the experimental design had a significant effect on each of the influencing variables (p-value = 0.001) < (0.05). 2) All quasi research articles that were studied used a non-equivalent posttest only control group design with t-test data analysis techniques, namely 88.89% and Manova 11.11%. This research implies that there is a space with other quasi research designs such as Pretest-Posttest, Non-Equivalent Control Group Design, Times Series, and Factorial, while in terms of data analysis techniques, variations of other inferential statistical analysis such as ANOVA, ANCOVA, and MANCOVA for the effectiveness of scientific knowledge research related to quasi-experimental related to THK.
