Abstract

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is very important for learners to master because they can develop the critical, analytical, and creative thinking skills needed to face complex challenges in daily life This study aims to examine the HOTS of students on the use of the Argumentative LiveWorksheet of Plant Tissue Structure through the Discovery Learning model. This type of research is a quasi-experiment using a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The subject of this study is 60 students of grade VIII of junior high school in Metro City which are divided into experimental classes and control classes. The research instrument is in the form of a HOTS essay test that measures the ability to analyze (C4), evaluate (C5), and create (C6) according to Bloom's taxonomy. In addition, questionnaire instruments are also used to find out students' responses to the learning carried out. The results showed that the experimental group that used the LiveWorksheet argumentative with the Discovery Learning model had a significantly higher HOTS score when compared to the control group. The argumentative LiveWorksheets with Discovery Learning creates a more dynamic learning environment by encouraging active student involvement in discussions, arguments, discovery, and reflective practices.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of integrating Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education to improve high school students' argumentation skills on the topic of the human respiratory system. This study was conducted at MTs Negeri 2 North Lampung, using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent group design. The population consisted of 166 students spread across five different classes. From this population, samples were taken, namely students in class VIII 1 as the experimental group and students in class VIII 3 as the control group, through a cluster random sampling technique. The research instrument was a 10-question essay test that had been validated to assess students' argumentation skills. The N-Gain data of the argumentation skills of both classes were shown to be normally distributed. Based on the homogeneity of the data obtained, both had homogeneous variances. Data were analyzed using an Independent Samples t-test and effect size calculation. The results showed that the experimental class achieved a significantly higher increase in argumentation skills compared to the control class (0.46 vs. 0.29, p < 0.05). The large effect size (1.26) confirmed the model's substantial impact. Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive (82.50%). Based on the evidence, it can be concluded that the ADI-STEM learning model effectively improves students' argumentation skills and fosters 21st-century skills by aligning scientific practices with interdisciplinary learning.

Abstract

Despite the importance of critical thinking in science education, junior high schools often lack effective instructional models that engage students with real-world environmental issues. One such issue, fish waste management, remains underutilised as a learning context, despite its relevance to local communities. This study investigates the effectiveness of project-based learning (PjBL) assisted by e-worksheets in fostering students’ critical thinking skills through the topic of fish waste processing. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 30 seventh-grade students in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. Pre- and post-tests were administered to measure five core indicators of critical thinking: problem identification, information sourcing, hypothesis formulation, clarification, and solution generation. The results, analysed using SPSS 25.0, showed significant improvements across all indicators. For instance, accurate problem identification responses increased from 0% to 47%, and logical hypothesis construction improved from 0% to 37%. Students also reported greater engagement with the digital worksheets, which featured multimedia content, simulations, and open-ended questions. The findings indicate that e-worksheet-assisted PjBL is an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing students’ analytical thinking, environmental literacy, and meaningful learning engagement across science education contexts.

Abstract

Low science literacy among Indonesian students, as evidenced by international assessments like PISA, underscores the urgent need to enhance their ability to connect scientific knowledge with societal issues. This challenge is exacerbated by a shortage of assessment tools that integrate scientific concepts with real-world phenomena, limiting students’ capacity to apply science in addressing social problems. This study aimed to develop a socioscientific issues (SSI)-based science literacy assessment tool targeting junior high school students on the topics of heat, thermal expansion, and temperature. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach following the 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), the study began with a needs analysis involving 15 teachers and 200 students across nine schools in Lampung Province. Guided by these findings, an SSI-based assessment instrument was designed and subjected to expert validation of content, construct, and language. The tool was then pilot-tested on 25 seventh-grade students at MTs N 3 South Lampung. Pre- and post-test evaluations revealed a significant increase in science literacy scores, from an average of 42.79 to 79.42. N-gain analysis indicated moderate improvement (0.64), while Cohen’s d demonstrated a large effect size (2.70), confirming the tool’s efficacy. The study concludes that the SSI-based assessment effectively enhances students’ conceptual understanding and their ability to relate scientific principles to real-world contexts. It further recommends extending the tool’s application to other science topics and diverse educational settings.
