Abstract

Abstract: Problem-solving skills are among the most important competencies of students, especially in the area of science education in the 21st century. Problem-solving skills enhance critical, logical, and creative thinking skills, which are necessary to solve complex real-life problems. This study is intended to identify and analyze research trends with regard to problem-solving skills in science learning from 2014 to 2023. A qualitative bibliometric approach has been used, and the data was collected using Publish or Perish and Dimensions.ai. In total, 200 documents indexed by Google Scholar were analyzed. Research trends, key keywords, and publication patterns were mapped and visualized using the VOSviewer software. The findings indicated that research on problem-solving skills gained consistent interest over the last decade, with the highest number of publications in 2023. Journals were the most common type of publication, followed by proceedings, chapters, and books. Among all publication venues, the Journal of Physics: Conference Series turned out to be the most important, publishing 784 articles and receiving 2567 citations. The most frequent keywords accompanying research in problem-solving are "critical thinking," "science learning," "motivation," and "teacher," which point to the interdisciplinary nature of the topic. Bibliometric visualization shows the emergence of new research clusters: student skills development, teaching strategies, and assessment methods. The conclusion from this study is that, while the research on problem-solving skills has grown steadily in science education, the implementation of practical teaching strategies in a classroom to enhance these skills remains fragmented. The future direction for research should encompass experimental studies through the integration of problem-based learning approaches that are important in the development of critical and creative thinking among students. Such findings have an important basis for educators, policymakers, and researchers to devise evidence-based practices that enhance the outcomes of science education.     Keywords: problem-solving skills, 21st-century competencies, science learning, bibliometric analysis, critical thinking.

Abstract

Abstract: This study explores trends in the design and implementation of research and development (RD) models tailored for science education rooted in local wisdom within the Nusa Tenggara region (NTB and NTT), Indonesia. Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, the research synthesizes findings from 20 pertinent articles published between 2017 and 2023, adhering to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Selected studies are indexed in SINTA (levels 1–6) and focus on ethnoscience, local wisdom, and RD models, while studies outside primary and secondary school science education or predating 2017 were excluded. The review identifies ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) and 4D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) as the most frequently employed development models, each representing 40% of the analyzed studies. Their popularity stems from their structured processes and adaptability to tight development timelines. Less commonly used models, such as Borg Gall and Dick Carey, feature in only 10% of cases, likely due to their complexity and resource demands. Most studies focus on producing contextually relevant teaching materials, such as ethnoscience-based modules, interactive tools, and multimedia resources that incorporate elements of local wisdom. The integration of local cultural knowledge into science learning enhances students' understanding of abstract scientific concepts, cultivates critical thinking, and strengthens cultural appreciation. These findings emphasize the value of culturally responsive approaches in designing science education materials that connect traditional wisdom with contemporary scientific perspectives. In summary, the ADDIE and 4D models are pivotal in fostering culturally relevant science education in Nusa Tenggara. Their practical and systematic frameworks enable the effective integration of regional culture into science curricula, supporting the creation of impactful and contextually aligned educational practices.   Keywords: science learning, local wisdom, ethnoscience, ADDIE model, 4D model, Nusa Tenggara, systematic literature review.

Abstract

Abstract: This study develops and validates e-modules incorporating Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and local wisdom to enhance students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As 21st-century education emphasizes the integration of technology and innovative strategies, these e-modules aim to support higher-order thinking while preserving cultural values amidst globalization. The research specifically focuses on the topic of Temperature and Heat for Grade VII junior high school science education. Using a Research and Development (RD) approach based on the 4D model Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate this study completes the development stage, including validation and preliminary testing. In the Define stage, a needs analysis identified that traditional teacher-centered methods inadequately develop students' critical thinking skills. The Design stage systematically structured the e-modules with reflective activities, interactive problem-solving exercises, and integration of local wisdom, leveraging Flip PDF Professional for engaging content creation. The e-modules underwent validation by three expert validators, who evaluated content, presentation, and language. Results showed a validity score exceeding 80% across all criteria, classified as "very valid." A preliminary test involving 30 Grade VII students employed a pre-test and post-test design. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in student performance, with the mean pre-test score of 60.25 increasing to a post-test mean of 85.75 (42.4% improvement). Statistical analysis using a paired ttest yielded a p-value of 0.001 (p 0.05), confirming the e-modules' effectiveness. Additionally, the incorporation of local wisdom within the PBL framework was positively received, promoting cultural appreciation alongside cognitive skill development. In conclusion, the developed Flip PDF-based e-modules satisfy highquality educational standards and effectively enhance students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Their integration of technology and local cultural values positions them as impactful tools for junior high school science education.   Keywords: e-module, problem-based learning, local wisdom, critical thinking, problem-solving.
