Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in 21st-century physics education. However, previous studies indicate that students’ critical thinking abilities remain relatively low due to teacher-centered instructional practices and limited exploratory learning experiences. This article aims to systematically review the effectiveness of implementing virtual laboratory-based problem-solving scenarios in improving students’ critical thinking skills, particularly in Ohm’s Law material. The study employed a literature review method by analyzing relevant national and international journal articles published within the last ten years. The selected articles met criteria related to topic relevance, research methodology, and examined variables. The findings reveal that the integration of virtual laboratories and problem-solving approaches consistently contributes to improving students’ analytical skills, evaluation abilities, logical reasoning, and conclusion drawing. Interactive simulations and structured problem-solving stages enhance students’ active engagement and higher-order thinking skills. Therefore, virtual laboratory-based problem-solving scenarios are recommended as an innovative instructional strategy in physics learning.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has been a major driver of significant changes in education, particularly in the creation of technology-based instructional materials. In today’s educational setting, it is important to integrate local wisdom into digital instructional materials to preserve cultural identity and enhance the relevance of the learning process. The purpose of this study is to examine the development of the application of digital instructional materials based on local wisdom through a literature review. This study employs a qualitative approach by conducting a literature review of 25 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2023. The selection process involved identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion steps adapted from the PRISMA principles. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques, including coding, grouping, and synthesis of findings. The research findings indicate that digital teaching materials based on local wisdom can enhance students’ motivation to learn, deepen their understanding of concepts within a contextual framework, and contribute to the development of students’ character. However, current research remains dominated by descriptive approaches and lacks support from structured development models.

Abstract

The low level of motivation in learning physics among high school students is one of the main challenges in the learning process, often caused by the lack of connection between the material and students’ real-life contexts. One alternative solution is the implementation of digital teaching materials based on local culture, which can integrate physics concepts with students’ direct experiences. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of such teaching materials in improving high school students’ motivation to learn physics through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The study was conducted by analyzing various relevant scientific sources from several databases, with a publication range from 2016 to 2025. The initial search process yielded 120 articles, which were then selected through stages of identification, screening, and eligibility assessment, resulting in 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria for in-depth analysis. The analysis was carried out through data extraction, classification, and synthesis of research findings. The results show that local culture-based digital teaching materials, such as e-modules, modules, and interactive multimedia, have significant potential in improving students’ learning motivation. This improvement is reflected in increased learning interest, active student participation, conceptual understanding, and critical thinking skills. In addition, the integration of local culture makes learning more contextual, engaging, and meaningful by connecting physics concepts to students’ daily lives.
