Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as a transformative pedagogical approach in science education, fostering student-centered learning through real-world problem-solving, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary inquiry. Unlike traditional lecture-based methods, PBL encourages active engagement, collaboration, and the application of scientific knowledge in meaningful contexts. Despite its benefits, challenges such as resource limitations, curriculum misalignment, inadequate teacher training, and ineffective assessment strategies hinder its widespread adoption. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive literature review on the implementation of PBL in science education, evaluating its impact on student learning, identifying key challenges, and exploring strategies to enhance its effectiveness. A systematic literature review methodology was employed, drawing from peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and scholarly books published over the past two decades. Thematic analysis was used to categorize findings, focusing on areas such as student engagement, critical thinking, interdisciplinary learning, and instructional barriers. The review highlights that PBL significantly improves students’ comprehension and retention of scientific concepts while fostering scientific literacy and collaborative problem-solving skills. However, successful implementation requires institutional support, well-trained educators, and innovative assessment methods aligned with PBL’s inquiry-based nature. Key strategies for enhancing PBL include increased resource allocation, better curriculum integration, professional development for teachers, and the use of technology-driven tools to facilitate interactive learning. Future research should investigate long-term impacts of PBL, its adaptability in digital and hybrid learning environments, and its effectiveness across different STEM disciplines. By addressing these challenges and refining implementation strategies, PBL can continue to serve as a powerful approach for preparing students with the scientific competencies and problem-solving abilities needed in the 21st century. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on PBL and offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to optimize science education through inquiry-driven, student-centered learning methodologies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the science literacy profile of primary school students in learning Natural and Social Sciences. The study used a quantitative descriptive approach with 31 students as samples. The results showed that students' science literacy was in the very low to low category, especially in the aspects of procedural, epistemic, scientific competence and content knowledge. Inquiry-based learning is still limited and the lack of integration of local contexts in learning. The development of local wisdom-based teaching materials is needed to improve student understanding and engagement. This research recommends teacher training and community collaboration to utilize local cultural elements as a context for science learning. The findings make an important contribution in designing relevant innovative learning strategies to significantly improve students' science literacy.

Abstract

The complexity of science concepts which are interrelated with each other requires the competence to think systematically. Complex thinking which is the basis for critical, analytical, creative and metacognitive thinking is very important to master in responding to the challenges of the 21st century. The aim of this research is to explore students' thinking systems taught using the STEM-PjBL model. This research is quantitative descriptive research. The variables studied are students' thinking systems based on the ability to determine components that influence each other in the bioethanol synthesis and dehydrator processes. The population in the study was 17 students. Students are distributed in two semesters, namely semesters II and IV. The research uses pre-test and post-test systematic thinking ability tests as data collection techniques and tools. The test consists of 5 essay questions that assess students' systematic thinking competence, and the test used is analyzed for validity, discrimination power, and level of difficulty before use. This test was developed based on indicators of systematic thinking competency. Tests were given to students before and after carrying out project activities for making and dehydrating bioethanol. After carrying out the project, students strengthen their competence through computational simulations related to the project being carried out. The data obtained is then presented in a communicative graph. The research results showed that 35.2% had high system thinking, 29% medium, 35.6% low. These results show that the application of the STEM-PjBL model is able to foster students' systematic thinking competency.

Abstract

Covid-19 has had a huge impact in all sectors. The socio-economic sector experienced the heaviest impact. One of the sectors affected is the world of education. Education is now transforming from face-to-face learning to online learning. Online learning is very helpful for students during covid-19. In addition to having a positive value, online learning also contains a negative value. For example, students' interest in reading increases, but on the other hand, students' reading power is low. Low reading power has an impact on decreasing the cognitive level of students. The purpose of this research is to first identify the cognitive level profiles and students' abilities in solving problems in the synthesis of biodiesel from used cooking oil. Analyzing the correlation between cognitive level and students' ability to solve problems. This research is a correlational descriptive research. This research was conducted on fourth semester chemistry education students who were taking an instrument chemistry course and determining the structure of organic compounds. Cognitive level and problem-solving ability were measured using a rubric for assessing cognitive level and student problem-solving ability. The data obtained is then described in graphical form. The data was then tested for correlation using the SPSS product moment correlation test. In this study, it was found that the cognitive level of most students entered at C2 and C3 levels and the average problem solving ability was 53.84. The results of the correlation test show that the cognitive level is positively correlated with the ability of students to solve problems. This is evidenced by the comparison of the value of r count 0.724> r table 0.44. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the cognitive level and problem solving abilities of students are still low. Cognitive level and problem solving ability are positively correlated
