	abstract = {The purpose of this research is to examine Indonesian upper-secondary school students{\textquoteright} learning orientation in science via generating structural equation modeling of conceptions of, approaches to and self-efficacy in learning science, and seeking whether the model is significantly different based on gender. A total of 600 (63\% females) Indonesian upper-secondary school students completed a questionnaire with three constructs {\textendash} conceptions of, approach to and self-efficacy in learning science. Rasch analysis was conducted before testing the hypothesized model to examine the psychometric aspects of the instruments. Structural equation modeling featured with multi-group analysis-based gender was used to respond to the main research purpose. Findings indicated that the Indonesian upper-secondary school students had multiple conceptions of as well as multiple approaches to science learning that led to different senses of self-efficacy. Multiple conceptions and mixed approaches are the characteristics of students with achieving orientations. Most importantly, the current research found that conceiving learning science as memorizing was considered as the basis for the higher level of conceptions. The model significantly differed based on gender. Three main differences were Indonesian female students tended to be more conceiving science learning as memorization, using more surface motive and their self-efficacy was more impacted by their higher level of conceptions {\textendash} applying and understanding than males. Based on findings, gender issues in orientations to studying and Indonesian science education curriculum are discussed. },

	abstract = {Conceptions of learning have been known as having influence on students{\textquoteright} learning outcomes, the one of which is science learning as to be a scientifically literate person. Even, the effects of students{\textquoteright} conceptions in learning have been known, but the contributing factors are still vague. This research aims to explore Indonesian high-school students{\textquoteright} conceptions of learning science (COLS), to find out if gender and students{\textquoteright} favorite science subject cause differences in their COLS, and to validate the COLS instrument by using Rasch analyses. Thirty-one items measuring six COLS were administered to 609 Indonesian high-school students. Rasch analyses, an independent sample t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and cluster analyses featuring chi-square tests of interdependence were used to answer the research questions. Based on the analyses, it was found that the COLS instrument was best fitted as six-dimensional. Gender difference was emerged in memorizing, and differences based on students{\textquoteright} favorite science subject were also found in memorizing and calculating and practicing. Finally, the results of cluster analyses showed that Indonesian students were divided into three different classes based on their COLS, and that the clusters were significantly related to the school locations.},
