Abstract

Learning Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) in elementary school plays an important role in developing students’ scientific and social thinking skills. However, classroom observations indicate that students tend to be passive and are not accustomed to thinking critically. Low participation in learning activities and difficulty connecting IPAS concepts with everyday phenomena have contributed to low learning outcomes and weak critical thinking skills, highlighting the need for more active, meaningful, and contextual learning innovations. One model aligned with the demands of the Kurikulum Merdeka is Project-Based Learning (PjBL), which emphasizes learning through real project completion to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes in an integrated manner. Initial observations in Grade IV at SDN 40 Mataram showed that out of 13 students, only 4 students (30%) achieved scores above the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM). These low outcomes were largely due to the conventional, teacher-centered learning approach. Therefore, this study aims to improve students’ critical thinking skills and learning outcomes through the implementation of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in IPAS instruction. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach using the Kemmis & McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through student activity observations and learning outcome tests. The findings show that the achievement of PjBL syntax increased from 73% in Cycle I to 87% in Cycle II. Students’ critical thinking skills also improved from an average of 60% in the pre-cycle to 75% in Cycle I and 86% in Cycle II, while learning mastery increased from 30% to 85%. Thus, the implementation of the Project-Based Learning model proved effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills and learning outcomes in IPAS learning at SDN 40 Mataram.

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.
