Abstract

Critical thinking ability is one of the essential skills that need to be developed in physics learning in the 21st century. However, students' critical thinking ability has not yet developed optimally, so a learning model that can actively involve students in problem solving is needed. One alternative that can be applied is the STEM–PjBL learning model. This study aims to analyze the effect of the STEM–PjBL learning model on students' critical thinking ability on temperature and heat material. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a nonequivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of 42 students of grade XI MA Tohir Yasin who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a valid and reliable essay test, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed that the average posttest score of the experimental class (79.77) was higher than that of the control class (68.75), with a significance value of 0.005 (p < 0.05). Thus, the application of the STEM–PjBL learning model has a significant effect on students' critical thinking skills on temperature and heat material and can be an alternative physics learning method to develop critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to optimize the utilization of gadung tubers (Dioscorea hispida) as a botanical pesticide through a participatory community empowerment approach in Pandan Wangi Village, East Lombok Regency. The program involved three farmer groups and was implemented through demonstration, discussion, and hands-on practice. Program evaluation was conducted through participatory observation, discussions, documentation, and question-and-answer sessions, while the collected data were analyzed descriptively using a qualitative approach. The results showed that the participants understood the process of preparing and applying the botanical pesticide, as demonstrated by their ability to explain the preparation procedures, the functions of each material, and the application techniques during the evaluation sessions. Participants also showed positive responses toward the utilization of local resources as an environmentally friendly alternative for pest management and actively participated throughout the program. In addition, the program successfully produced a botanical pesticide derived from gadung tubers as one of its outputs. These findings indicate that optimizing local resources through a participatory approach effectively improves community knowledge and practical skills while fostering greater awareness of utilizing local potential to support environmentally friendly and sustainable agriculture
