Abstract

Conceptual understanding involves a deep comprehension of a concept, including the ability to explain, illustrate, and apply it in various contexts. This study aims to compare students’ levels of conceptual understanding under the Kurikulum Merdeka and the Cambridge Curriculum. A comparative descriptive method with a mixed-methods approach was used, employing a six-tier diagnostic test, interviews, and classroom observations. The sample consisted of 60 students selected through purposive sampling. The results showed that students following the Kurikulum Merdeka had a higher percentage of scientific understanding (43.4%) compared to those in the Cambridge Curriculum (20.3%). These findings indicate that the effectiveness of instruction is influenced not only by the curriculum strategy but also by factors such as the timing between instruction and assessment, students’ confidence in their responses, and language barriers. Therefore, instructional approaches should be aligned with students’ cognitive readiness and contextual conditions to optimize conceptual understanding.

Abstract

This meta-analysis aims to analyze the impact of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on students’ science literacy in physics education. The study uses a descriptive quantitative method with a meta-analysis approach on 16 national journal articles that meet inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results indicate a significant average effect size of 1.72 (large category), with senior high school (effect size 1.95) having the most critical impact. In contrast, junior high and elementary schools have effect sizes of 0.77 and 0.48, respectively. Problem-based learning significantly impacts the Solar System, Heat & Temperature, and Global Warming. Furthermore, the implementation factor with the most significant and consistent impact is PBL combined with learning media, especially edugames and interactive simulations, with an average effect size of 1.76 (large category). These results suggest that PBL in physics education can significantly improve students’ science literacy, especially in higher education levels and with appropriate learning media.

Abstract

The low level of students' critical thinking skills in physics subjects especially fluids static is a problem that includes understanding concepts and applying knowledge in real-world contexts. This study aims to examine the effect of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model on students’ critical thinking skills in the topic of static fluids. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design was employed involving 66 eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 98 Jakarta, divided into an experimental group receiving CTL instruction and a control group taught using conventional methods. Critical thinking data were collected through a test based on Tiruneh’s indicators and analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test and N-Gain calculation. The results indicate a significance value of 0.022 (< 0.05) and an N-Gain of 0.60 for the experimental group, higher than the control group’s 0.43. These findings demonstrate that CTL significantly enhances students’ critical thinking skills. The implications suggest that CTL is suitable for physics learning, especially for abstract topics such as static fluids, to strengthen cognitive skills and promote more meaningful learning.

Abstract

Conceptual understanding is a fundamental foundation in physics learning; however, numerous studies have reported that students continue to hold misconceptions that are resistant to formal instruction. One topic that is particularly prone to misconceptions is Newton’s Laws, which serve as a basis for understanding more advanced physics concepts. This study aims to profile students’ levels of misconceptions on Newton’s Laws based on diagnostic results obtained using a six-tier diagnostic test. This research employed a quantitative descriptive approach with a survey design. The participants were 132 eleventh-grade students from SMAN 2 Cikampek, selected through purposive sampling. The instrument used was a six-tier diagnostic test covering three sub-concepts of Newton’s Laws and analyzed based on combinations of students’ answers, conceptual reasoning, confidence levels, and sources of reasoning. The results indicate that although the sound understanding category showed the highest percentage (43.99%), more than half of the students were still classified as having problematic understanding, particularly misconceptions and negative errors. Misconceptions were consistently identified across all three sub-concepts of Newton’s Laws with a cumulative pattern, where the highest level of misconception occurred in Newton’s Third Law, especially in understanding action–reaction force pairs. From the perspective of misconception sources, students’ misconceptions were predominantly derived from internal cognitive constructions based on intuition and everyday experiences. These findings emphasize that instruction on Newton’s Laws should focus on eliciting and reconstructing students’ prior conceptual understanding in an integrated manner, so that persistent misconceptions can be reduced and students’ conceptual understanding can be improved.
