Abstract

Observations and interviews with science teachers at SMPN 7 Padang revealed that learning that trains students' critical thinking skills has not been implemented optimally. When students gave answers or asked questions related to the material in science learning, they were still hesitant or limited to understand, also scientific attitude towards science learning. The literature states that Problem Based Learning (PBL) model is able to train students' critical thinking skills. PBL shows effective approach to increase students’ potential and develop students’ critical thinking skills. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning model on the Critical Thinking Skills of Grade VIII Students at SMP Negeri 7 Padang. This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. PBL Model as the independent variable in this study was employed to experimental class, while dependent variable was students’ critical thinking skills tested in both experimental and control class. The measurement of students’ critical thinking skills consisted of five indicators such as elementary clarification, basic support, inference, advance clarification, and strategy and tactics. The results showed a significant increase in students' critical thinking skills in the experimental group compared to the control group (p<0.05). It can be concluded that Problem Based Learning model significantly improve students’ critical thinking skills.

Abstract

Cognitive ability is one of the essential aspects emphasized in the Merdeka Curriculum. One of the ways to enhance students’ cognitive ability is by applying the Project Based Learning-STEM (PjBL-STEM) model. This research was motivated by observations conducted on Grade VIII students at SMPN 21 Padang during the 2024/2025 academic year. The observations revealed that although the teacher implemented the PjBL-STEM model, its application was not fully optimal. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the PjBL-STEM learning model on students’ cognitive ability on the topic of vibration and wave. This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a posttest control group design. Purposive sampling was used to select the samples. Grade VIII students taught using the PjBL-STEM model served as the experimental group, while another Grade VIII class taught using conventional discovery learning served as the control group. The research instrument was an objective written test. The collected data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing. The t-test results showed a t-count of 10.283 and a t-table value of 2.036, where tcount ≥ ttable. Therefore, H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted, indicating a significant effect of the PjBL-STEM model on students’ cognitive ability in junior high school.

Creativity refers to the ability to generate novel ideas and skills from ordinary situations, characterized by fluency, flexibility, and originality. Creative students continuously seek innovative ways to address problems in their daily lives. In the context of science education, such students tend to find creative science problems easier to solve, as they already possess effective problem-solving strategies. This study employs a literature review method by analyzing 16 selected articles from Google Scholar that met specific inclusion criteria. The main objectives of this research are to (1) evaluate the creativity levels of Indonesian high school students in science learning and (2) identify the factors that influence their creativity in this field. The findings reveal that the overall creativity level of Indonesian high school students is categorized as low, contrasting with the expected higher level. Factors affecting students’ creativity include the implementation of diverse learning models, teachers’ pedagogical competence, and students’ comprehension of the subject matter.

Abstract

Contemporary science education aims to equip students with the competencies needed to address the complex challenges of the 21st century, particularly within the framework of Industry 4.0, where scientific literacy is recognized as a fundamental skill. However, students’ low levels of scientific literacy are often attributed to passive, text-based, and teacher-centered learning methods. This study aims to examine the effect of the Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) learning model on the scientific literacy of seventh-grade students at SMPN 5 Mandau in the topic Forms of Matter and Their Changes. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The sample consisted of two classes selected through purposive sampling. Research data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of Microsoft Excel. The results of the hypothesis testing revealed a significant difference in the average scores between the two classes after the implementation of the SSCS learning model. The posttest analysis showed that the calculated t-value (tcount = 2.458) was greater than the critical t-value (ttable = 2.004), indicating that the SSCS learning model had a significant positive effect on students’ scientific literacy.
