Abstract

This study aims to analyze research trends in PhET virtual laboratories on critical thinking skills in physics learning during the period 2015–2025. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with bibliometric analysis methods. Data were obtained from Google Scholar using the Publish or Perish application, then analyzed using VOSviewer. The selection process resulted in 34 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The analysis results show that research has increased significantly since 2020 and peaked in 2025, influenced by the development of digital-based learning after the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of the Independent Curriculum. Bibliometric visualization shows that the topics of critical thinking, PhET simulation, and virtual laboratories are the main focus of research, with a tendency to use PhET combined with various learning models such as problem-based learning and guided inquiry. Citation analysis indicates that research examining the effectiveness of PhET use in improving critical thinking skills has a significant impact. However, studies that specifically address critical thinking skills in the context of certain materials or aspects of learning outcomes are still limited. Therefore, this study provides a comprehensive overview of research trends and opens opportunities for the development of more in-depth and focused research in the future.

Abstract

The use of technology-based learning media, particularly PhET (Physics Education Technology) simulations, is widely adopted in high school physics education. PhET provides interactive simulations capable of visualizing abstract physics concepts, thereby facilitating a better understanding of the material for students. Various studies indicate that the integration of PhET can enhance conceptual understanding, learning outcomes, and student engagement in the learning process. This study aims to analyze research trends regarding the use of PhET in improving high school physics conceptual understanding during the 2014–2023 period, providing a comprehensive overview of literature development over the past decade through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Data were gathered from relevant academic databases and analyzed to identify the growth in publication numbers, author collaboration patterns, and dominant research topics. The results show a steady increase in PhET-related publications over the years. Frequently researched topics include conceptual understanding, learning outcomes, critical thinking skills, and technology-based learning. Furthermore, PhET has proven effective in helping students grasp complex physics concepts through interactive visualization. In conclusion, research on PhET displays an upward trend and contributes positively to improving the quality of physics education at the senior high school level. This study is expected to serve as a valuable reference for developing innovative and effective learning media

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are among the essential competencies that need to be developed in 21st-century learning. One of the instructional models widely used to foster these skills is Project-Based Learning (PjBL). This study aims to analyze research trends and the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning in improving students' critical thinking skills through a combination of bibliometric analysis and a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The study employed a descriptive method, with bibliometric analysis conducted using VOSviewer and the SLR carried out following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Articles were retrieved from Google Scholar using the Publish or Perish software, covering publications from 2014 to 2023. The selection process identified 21 articles that met the inclusion criteria for analysis. The bibliometric analysis revealed that the existing literature is dominated by studies on the implementation of PjBL in physics education, with recent developments focusing on STEM integration, instructional material development, and the use of digital technologies. The SLR findings indicated that all selected studies reported a positive effect of Project-Based Learning on students' critical thinking skills, as evidenced by improvements in N-Gain scores, statistically significant results, and effect size measures. Therefore, Project-Based Learning has been demonstrated to be effective in enhancing students' critical thinking skills in 21st-century education.

Abstract

Science process skills are essential competencies in physics learning, yet school development remains suboptimal due to a conceptual mastery focus. Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is believed to overcome this issue. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the influence of the PjBL model on students' science process skills in physics learning. The research method utilizes a qualitative descriptive literature review of 15 scientific articles from the 2014–2023 period obtained from SINTA, Google Scholar, and GARUDA databases. Analysis stages include identification, selection, data extraction, content analysis, and findings synthesis. The review results show that all articles reported a positive PjBL influence on improving students' science process skills across various indicators. PjBL effectiveness is influenced by project implementation quality, material characteristics, media technology support, and learning strategies. In conclusion, PjBL can be an effective alternative learning model to develop science process skills while supporting 21st-century learning implementation.

Abstract

Technological advancements in education have driven the use of more interactive digital teaching materials, one of which is the e-module. In physics learning, which is inherently abstract, students' conceptual understanding remains a significant challenge. Along with the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes independent and technology-based learning, innovative learning media are required to enhance student engagement and comprehension. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and characteristics of interactive e-modules on students' conceptual understanding of physics, one of which is on wave mechanics. The method employed is a literature review, analyzing a number of relevant scientific articles obtained from the Google Scholar database using the Publish or Perish application based on specific criteria. The results of the study indicate that interactive e-modules are generally equipped with features such as animations, simulations, and quizzes, which can increase student engagement in the learning process. Furthermore, the use of interactive e-modules also shows a positive trend toward improving students' conceptual understanding and learning outcomes. Therefore, interactive e-modules hold great potential to support more effective and innovative physics learning within the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.
