Abstract

The relationship and integration of 4C competences, biological literacy, creative problem-solving, and science process skills in biology learning are rarely analyzed simultaneously. On the other hand, integrating the four skills is important in 21st-century biology learning. The research aim is to explore the relationship and integration of 21st-century skills in biology learning, including 4C competence, biological literacy, creative problem-solving, and science process skills. The research method was quantitative research with a non-experimental explanatory design using 44 participants through filling out questionnaires, which were then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) at the 5% significance level. The results prove that 4C competences have a significant influence on biological literacy; 4C competences have a significant influence on creative problem-solving; 4C competences have a significant influence on science process skills; biological literacy has a significant influence on creative problem-solving; biological literacy has a significant influence on science process skills; and creative process skills have a significant influence on science process skills. The research concluded that 4C competences through biological literacy and creative problem-solving skills significantly affect science process skills. The study has direct practical implications for educators in developing innovative biology learning strategies that integrate 21st-century skills through strengthening 4C competencies. This integration is crucial not only for improving biology literacy, creative problem solving, and scientific process skills but also as an essential step in enhancing the quality of future biology teachers.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how virtual laboratories, cloud-based laboratory platforms, interactive molecular modelling, and serious educational games influence student engagement, conceptual understanding, and motivation. A systematic literature review was conducted on Scopus-indexed studies reporting empirical evaluations or pedagogical implementations of immersive technologies. Eligible studies were screened, coded, and analyzed thematically, emphasizing learning outcomes, instructional scaffolding, user interface design, scalability, and assessment practices. The review found that immersive technologies integrated with inquiry-based pedagogy consistently enhance student engagement and motivation, producing measurable short-term gains in conceptual understanding when supported by explicit scaffolding, timely feedback, and active instructor facilitation. Virtual and cloud-based laboratories expand access to authentic experimental experiences and enable scalable delivery through real-time data integration, while interactive molecular modeling strengthens spatial reasoning and procedural competence. Furthermore, serious educational games effectively promote conceptual transfer when their mechanics are explicitly aligned with instructional objectives.
