Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Android-assisted virtual physics learning developed using Smart Application Creator in enhancing students' critical thinking skills during the study of optical material in high school. The novelty of this research lies in its integration of mobile-based virtual learning environments with a targeted emphasis on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) a crucial competency in 21st-century education. While prior studies have explored virtual learning media in science education, few have systematically examined their cognitive impact particularly on critical thinking in the context of physics. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group was used, and purposive sampling determined the participant pool. Data were collected using validated test instruments designed to assess five core indicators of critical thinking. Statistical analysis through an independent sample t-test at a significance level of α = 0.05 revealed a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.00, indicating a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The average N-Gain in the experimental group (0.74) significantly outperformed that of the control group (0.53). The most notable improvements in the experimental group included the ability to evaluate arguments (88.2%), draw conclusions (84.3%), identify assumptions (80.4%), apply deductive reasoning (75.2%), and logically interpret data (65%). These findings demonstrate the pedagogical potential of Android-based virtual media in supporting cognitive development in physics learning. The study provides a foundation for developing scalable, interactive learning tools that align with HOTS frameworks, offering new directions for physics instruction in digitally driven classrooms.

Abstract

The aim of the research is to explore the cognitive profiles patterns of strengths and weaknesses of children with specific learning difficulties and to assess how these profiles can inform individualized educational interventions. Using a collective case study approach, data were collected from four school-aged children (7–9 years old) with low academic performance through a mixed-method design involving parental interviews and comprehensive psychological testing. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Marianne Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception were employed to assess intellectual ability, working memory, attention, and visual perception. Results revealed that all participants had average to very superior intellectual capacities, indicating that learning difficulties were not related to intelligence level. However, consistent patterns of weaknesses were identified in working memory, attention, and visual-motor coordination, while abstract verbal reasoning remained a cognitive strength. One participant exhibited a unique strength in perceptual organization, linked to enriched sensory interaction and high intellectual capacity. This research offers a novel perspective on recognizing specific learning difficulties through cognitive profiling rather than general academic performance. The findings underscore the importance of comprehensive assessments in identifying hidden handicaps and developing tailored educational strategies. The implication is clear: effective interventions must consider both cognitive strengths and weaknesses to support academic achievement and emotional well-being in children with specific learning difficulties.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model combined with E-Modules in improving high school students' science literacy in the subject of sound and light waves. The background to this study is the low level of science literacy among Indonesian students according to the PISA report, which ranks Indonesia at the bottom. PBL was chosen because it emphasises real-world problem solving, thereby encouraging active engagement, scientific reasoning, and collaborative skills. E-Modules are used as interactive, flexible, and independent learning-supporting digital teaching materials. This research sample consisted of 60 Grade XI students from Mitra Inalum Private High School, comprising 30 students in the experimental class and 30 students in the control class. The results of the analysis show that the application of PBL assisted by E-Modules has a significant effect on improving science literacy, as evidenced by the Independent Sample T-Test at α = 0.05 with a 2-tailed sig. of 0.000 and N-Gain value of 0.70 for the experimental class and 0.65 for the control class, indicating a higher increase in science literacy in the experimental class. In addition, 84.41% of students responded positively to the use of E-Modules. Thus, the integration of PBL and E-Modules is effective as a 21st-century physics learning strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the utilization of TikTok content-based ice breaking in the learning process of three-grade students at SDN Sawojajar 01 through a systematic literature review approach. The background of this research stems from the identification of problems including destructive student behavior during learning, the application of conventional and monotonous ice breaking methods, and the non-optimal use of audio-visual technology in classroom management. This research uses a qualitative method with a systematic literature review design. Data were collected from 15 relevant scientific articles published in 2019–2026, sourced from Google Scholar, Sinta-indexed journals, and Scopus-indexed journals, using the keywords ice breaking, TikTok, learning concentration, and elementary school. Articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results of the literature review show: (1) ice breaking is theoretically proven to restore student concentration, reduce boredom, and increase learning participation; (2) TikTok as a short-form video platform has characteristics that are relevant to the learning style of Generation Alpha students and has been proven effective as an educational medium in various studies; and (3) the integration of TikTok content as an ice breaking instrument is projected to have positive implications for classroom dynamics, including a more dynamic classroom atmosphere, increased student concentration and participation, and strengthened teacher-student interaction. This study concludes that TikTok content-based ice breaking is theoretically feasible and promising as an innovative classroom management instrument for Generation Alpha elementary school students.
