Abstract

This study aims to explore preservice science teachers’ conceptual understanding of wave–particle duality and to examine the role of prompt-based learning in supporting conceptual change. A qualitative-dominant mixed-methods design was employed involving 32 preservice science teachers enrolled in a physics education course. Data were collected through pre- and post-instruction open-ended conceptual tasks and written responses to structured prompts during instruction. Quantitative analysis was used to identify trends in conceptual understanding, while qualitative thematic analysis examined the nature and development of participants’ explanations. The results indicate that prior to instruction, most participants demonstrated classical or hybrid reasoning regarding wave–particle duality. After engaging in prompt-based learning, there was a significant increase in quantum-consistent conceptual understanding, accompanied by a shift from ontological to epistemic, model-based reasoning. The findings also reveal that explanation, reflective, and prediction–evaluation prompts played a key role in fostering conceptual coherence and metacognitive awareness, although some hybrid reasoning persisted. These results highlight the potential of prompt-based learning as an effective instructional approach for supporting preservice science teachers’ understanding of abstract quantum concepts.

Abstract

This study developed a Google Sites-based learning medium to support problem-based learning (PBL) on Animalia and improve digital literacy and student learning outcomes. This study used the ADDIE model and was tested through a non-equivalent quasi-experimental control group design. Participants were 60 tenth-grade students at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Prambanan, divided into an experimental class (30 students) using Google Sites and a control class (30 students) using Google Classroom. Data were collected using a digital literacy test and cognitive learning outcomes assessment, and analyzed using MANOVA to test for differences between groups. The developed Google Sites medium was declared feasible after expert validation, featuring structured content, interactive activities, and easy navigation to support PBL. Practicality was confirmed through student and teacher feedback, which indicated that the medium was user-friendly and engaging. MANOVA results showed a significant simultaneous increase in digital literacy and cognitive learning outcomes for the experimental group compared to the control group. This proves that Google Sites-based learning media is feasible, practical, and effective in supporting PBL on Animalia material, and significantly improves digital literacy and learning outcomes of class X students of SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Prambanan.
