Abstract

This research aims to (1) examine the differences in learning outcomes of programmable logic controllers between cadets who use problem-based learning strategies assisted by mockup media and problem-based learning strategies, (2) examine the differences in learning outcomes of programmable logic controllers between cadets who have high and low initial abilities, and (3) examine the interaction effect between learning strategies and initial abilities on learning outcomes of programmable logic controllers. This research uses a 2 x 2 factorial design with the object of research being the 3rd-semester airport electrical engineering study program students at Aviation Polytechnic Surabaya. The sample of this research includes 47 students of the TLB 11 AB class as the experimental group of problem-based learning strategy assisted by mockup media and 46 students of the TLB 12AB class as the control group of problem-based learning strategy. A learning outcomes test collected the data on learning outcomes in the form of multiple choice. Learning outcomes data were analyzed using two-tailed ANOVA (analysis of variance). The results showed that there is a significant difference in learning outcomes of the programmable logic controller between cadets who learn using problem-based learning assisted by mockup media and problem-based learning, there is a significant difference in learning outcomes of the programmable logic controller between cadets who have high and low initial abilities, there is no interaction effect between learning strategies and cadets' initial abilities on learning outcomes of the programmable logic controller. This research can contribute to improving students' understanding and skills in the field of PLC. Through practical experience and relevant projects, students can develop a deeper understanding of PLC concepts and improve their technical skills in designing, implementing, and solving problems related to PLC systems.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explore opportunities and challenges in implementing the New Student Admission Policy (PPDB) at elementary schools in Gresik Regency, East Java, Indonesia. It examines how local education authorities manage national regulations in alignment with social, cultural, and geographical contexts. Method: A qualitative approach was used, with data collected through interviews with elementary school stakeholders under the Gresik Regency Education Office. The data were analyzed based on relevant policy concepts and regulations to understand local implementation practices. Results: Successful PPDB implementation depends on local actors’ ability to understand, respond to, and manage complex social and administrative demands. Flexible and locally adapted policies promote equitable access, relevant educational outcomes, and quality services. Effective implementation requires cross-institutional coordination, strong social networks, and community participation. Zoning systems and affirmative policies are crucial to prevent exclusion and ensure schools in low-attractiveness areas receive adequate support. Novelty: This study emphasizes reformulating PPDB policies beyond technical procedures by integrating social values, local culture, and community needs. The findings provide practical guidance for local governments and policymakers to create a more adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable student admission system.

Abstract

This study analyzes the readiness of Javanese language teachers in Gresik Regency to adopt mobile learning by integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Mobile Learning Readiness (MLR) framework as a multidimensional conceptual approach. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions by strengthening the literature on teacher readiness for mobile learning in Javanese language education and offering empirical evidence to support targeted digital literacy programs and innovative mobile-based learning for improving instructional quality and preserving local culture. The study employed an exploratory quantitative design involving 26 junior high school teachers using a standardized instrument measuring Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), and dimensions of technological, pedagogical, and psychological readiness. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and trend pattern analysis. The findings reveal an asymmetry between perceived ease of use and perceived pedagogical usefulness, significantly influenced by age and teaching experience. This study extends empirical evidence within the context of local language education and proposes data-driven intervention frameworks to strengthen teacher capacity in sustainable technology integration.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an assessment instrument, comprising essay questions and scoring rubrics, to measure high school students’ critical thinking skills through Problem-Based Learning (PBL). The instrument was developed by adapting the Research and Development (R&D) design using the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Expert validation results indicated that the instrument was suitable for use, with minor editorial revisions recommended to improve clarity and objectivity. A trial conducted with 67 students showed that all assessment items were valid (r-calculated > r-table) and the instrument demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.745). The scoring rubric consists of six main indicators referring to the critical thinking framework by Robert Ennis (1993): focus, supporting reasons, reasoning, organisation, language use, and relevance. This instrument is considered effective in supporting authentic assessment and can be used by teachers to evaluate students’ critical thinking skills more systematically, in line with the Merdeka Curriculum and 21st-century competency demands.

Abstract

Objective: Substance abuse remains a major challenge to individual well-being and societal development, underscoring the need for preventive interventions beginning in early childhood. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of story-based activities in improving assertive communication skills among children aged 5–6 years as an early preventive framework for reducing vulnerability to future substance abuse and other risky behaviors. Method: A quantitative quasi-experimental study using a pretest–posttest design was conducted with 90 children aged 5–6 years from five early childhood education institutions in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data were collected through structured observations measuring four dimensions of assertive communication: self-expression, opinion sharing, emotional communication, and respectful refusal. The data were analyzed using normalized gain (N-Gain) scores and paired-sample t-tests. Results: The findings demonstrated that story-based activities improved children's assertive communication. Positive improvements were consistently observed across participating institutions and among both boys and girls. Novelty: This study introduces story-based learning as an early childhood preventive framework that connects the development of assertive communication with long-term protection against substance abuse risk. The findings extend prevention efforts beyond adolescent-focused interventions by positioning early childhood education as a strategic foundation for strengthening children's protective social competencies before risk behaviors emerge.

Abstract

This study systematically reviews the relationship between scientific creativity and scientific argumentation within inquiry-based and blended science learning, with implications for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4. Following PRISMA 2020 principles, the review synthesizes 48 peer-reviewed studies published from 2015 to early 2026 across Scopus, Web of Science, and ERIC. The findings show that inquiry-based learning provides the epistemic foundation for both creativity and argumentation, while blended and digitally supported environments extend discourse, collaboration, and multimodal representation. Argumentation functions as a convergent epistemic filter that validates, refines, and strengthens creative scientific ideas. Based on these findings, the study proposes an integrative Inquiry-Argumentation-Creativity framework in which creativity is generated through inquiry and refined through evidence-based argumentation in blended environments. The synthesis suggests that future research should combine longitudinal designs with learning analytics, natural language processing, and multimodal analysis to better capture how creativity and argumentation develop over time.
