Abstract

This study analyzes the potential of integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in physics learning within Grobogan District, Indonesia, aligning with the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) 2025-2045’s focus on quality education. This descriptive qualitative research surveyed 23 physics teachers from the local MGMP (Subject Teacher Forum) using a questionnaire about STEAM-SDGs integration. Results revealed positive attitudes towards both STEAM (68% positive: 22% strongly agree, 46% agree) and SDGs (57% agree). However, understanding and application levels were low. 42% of teachers were undecided about STEAM, and 32% about SDGs. Regarding practical application, 37% were hesitant about STEAM implementation, and 29% about SDG integration. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive training to enhance teachers’ understanding and preparedness for integrating STEAM and SDGs into physics instruction. This is crucial for improving physics education quality and equipping students to address 21st century global challenges through innovative and sustainable learning.

Abstract

Post-pandemic, gadgets have become an inseparable part of student life. This gives rise to brainrot which affects students’ critical thinking and creative thinking skills. Gadgets also create an individualistic attitude, causing students to have difficulty communicating and collaborating. Seeing this challenge, students need to be equipped with Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration and Creativity (4Cs) skills. This research aims to determine the 4Cs profile of Pelita Nusantara Kasih Surakarta Christian Junior High School students in studying Ecology and Biodiversity. The research method used in this research is descriptive quantitative with multiple choice questions for critical thinking skills, a questionnaire for communication and collaboration skills, and essay questions for creative thinking skills. The research sample was class VII, VIII, and IX students with a total of 150 students as respondents. The sampling technique is cluster random sampling. Data collection techniques using questionnaires and tests. The results show that the critical thinking skills score is 74, the creative thinking skills score is 56, the collaboration skills score is 73, and the communication skills score is 66. The average 4Cs skills score for Pelita Nusantara Kasih Surakarta Christian Junior High School students is 67. The results of this research show that The 4Cs skills of Pelita Nusantara Kasih Surakarta Christian Junior High School students are in the medium category, but for the creative thinking skills need to be improved because they have the lowest score compared to other skills.

Abstract

This study investigates vocational high school students’ misconceptions about renewable energy concepts using the Certainty of Response Index (CRI) and examines their relationship with environmental literacy and creative thinking skills. A descriptive quantitative design with a diagnostic approach was employed. The instruments consisted of a three-tier multiple-choice test for environmental literacy and a two-tier essay test for creative thinking, both validated through Aiken’s V (V = 0.75–1.00; valid–highly valid) and piloted prior to implementation. CRI analysis revealed substantial misconceptions, particularly in energy transition (67%) and marine energy utilization (50%). Students demonstrated stronger understanding of concrete topics (e.g., fossil energy impact, IoT integration) but struggled with abstract or unfamiliar content. Creative thinking performance was weakest in originality and elaboration, with errors linked to limited contextual exposure and insufficient inquiry-based learning opportunities. Notably, high confidence often accompanied incorrect reasoning, indicating entrenched misconceptions. Statistical analysis indicated a moderate positive correlation between environmental literacy and creative thinking (r = 0.56, p < 0.05). These findings highlight the potential of integrating CRI-based diagnostics with STEAM–SDGs-oriented, project-based, and contextual learning to address misconceptions, enhance environmental literacy, and develop students’ creative capacity. Such strategies are critical to bridging the knowledge–action gap and preparing students to tackle sustainable energy challenges in the era of the green economy.
