Abstract

This study analyzed the profiles of students’ concept mastery and scientific literacy on the topic of reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions in three senior high schools in North Gorontalo, Indonesia. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving written tests and interviews with 12th-grade students at SMAN 1, SMAN 3, and SMAN 6 North Gorontalo. The test instruments were designed based on the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive levels (C1–C6) and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) scientific literacy dimensions (context, content, competence, attitude). Results indicate that students have moderate overall concept mastery, with highest performance on lower-order cognitive skills remembering (C1) and understanding (C2) but substantially lower performance on higher-order skills such as applying (C3), analyzing (C4), evaluating (C5), and creating (C6). In terms of scientific literacy, students performed best in the content knowledge dimension, while showing weaknesses in scientific attitudes. Specifically, around 59% of students could recall basic facts (C1), but only ~35% could tackle creation-based tasks (C6). Likewise, over 54% demonstrated understanding of scientific content, yet less than 47% exhibited strong scientific competencies or attitudes. These findings suggest that current teaching practices heavily emphasize rote learning of content, leading to decent factual knowledge but insufficient higher-order thinking and lack of engagement with science in real-life contexts. The study highlights the need for instructional innovations such as inquiry-based, problem-based, and context-oriented learning to strengthen students’ conceptual understanding at all cognitive levels and to foster scientific skills and attitudes.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the critical thinking abilities of 12th grade students on the topic of atomic structure using a complex multiple-choice test instrument based on the Rasch Model. The research found that the instrument was valid and reliable in measuring students' critical thinking skills. The majority of students (75%) demonstrated adequate critical thinking abilities, while 25% faced difficulties, particularly with items measuring inference and explanation. Students performed better on questions related to interpretation and evaluation but struggled with questions that required them to draw conclusions and explain more complex scientific phenomena. These results indicated that while students had a solid understanding of the basic concepts of atomic structure, they needed more practice to improve their higher-order critical thinking skills. Small gender differences were observed, with male students performing slightly better on analysis and inference items, although these differences were not significant. Overall, the findings suggest that while students had a strong foundational knowledge, there is a need for reinforcement through more challenging questions and deeper critical thinking exercises to further develop their critical thinking abilities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of local wisdom-based Problem Based Learning (PBL) on junior high school students' learning outcomes in temperature and heat. The method used was a quantitative experiment with a one-group pretest–posttest design; the independent variable was PBL based on local wisdom integrated through Google Sites (e-modules, worksheets, videos, and contextual tasks), while the dependent variable was learning outcomes measured by achievement tests that had been validated by experts and declared to be highly valid. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Shapiro–Wilk test for normality, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test for paired comparisons, and N-Gain for effectiveness. The results show a significant increase: the class average increased from 45 to 84 and from 41 to 84; the posttest data was not normal, so Wilcoxon was used with results of Z = 4.111 and Z = 4.021 (p < 0.001), confirming a significant difference between the pretest and posttest. The average N-Gain = 0.69 (moderate category) with individual distribution in the moderate to high range, indicating that PBL based on local wisdom is effective in strengthening conceptual understanding and encouraging learning engagement. It is recommended to continuously integrate the local cultural context into science units through digital platforms, strengthen teacher training to facilitate PBL, and conduct further research with control groups, larger samples, and mixed approaches to examine conceptual changes and misconception reduction more comprehensively. It is recommended that local cultural contexts be continuously integrated into science units through digital platforms, that teacher training be strengthened to facilitate PBL, and that further research be conducted with control groups, larger samples, and mixed approaches to examine conceptual changes and misconception reduction more comprehensively.

Abstract

Community service activities constitute one of the core mandates (Tri Dharma) of higher education and may be regarded as a key responsibility of institutions, lecturers, and students. A home yard is an open space surrounding a residence. When properly maintained, it can create an attractive, comfortable, healthy, and pleasant environment that enhances residents’ well-being at home. This community service program aimed to optimize the utilization of home yards through a vertical cultivation (verticulture) system using plastic waste, in order to generate additional household income and improve aesthetic value. In addition, the program promoted the reuse and recycling of plastic waste as planting media. The methods employed included field observation, communication of the activity plan, collection of plastic waste, program socialization, counseling, training and group sharing sessions, and finally monitoring. The socialization results demonstrated that used cooking oil packaging could be repurposed into planting containers and beverage bottles could be utilized as verticulture planting media. The main crop emphasized in this program was chili, which is commonly needed in every household. Other crops suitable for verticulture include annual, high-moisture herbaceous plants such as spinach, water spinach (kangkung), and lettuce, as well as tomatoes and other plant species. The implementation of this program motivated community groups to manage household waste into compost and enhanced their knowledge and skills in vegetable and medicinal plant cultivation techniques. As a result, the surrounding environment became cleaner and greener, and community members were able to meet their needs for vegetables and medicinal plants around their homes.

Abstract

This review explored how ethno-STEM learning modules help students understand reaction rates in chemical kinetics. These modules combine science with culture to make lessons more engaging and easier to relate to. We looked at how the modules were designed and used, how they supported learning, and how they mixed cultural content with science. We also compared different strategies—like inquiry learning and technology use—and identified common teaching problems.We focused on studies from secondary schools, vocational programs, and universities published up to mid-2024. These studies used different methods, such as interviews, surveys, and classroom experiments. We found that culture-based modules made chemistry more relevant and kept students motivated. Inquiry learning and technology also helped students understand reaction rates better. However, many of these strategies still need better ways to measure success and reach more students. Some students struggled with graphs and formulas, but active learning and visual tools helped improve their understanding. Teachers and students liked the modules because they connected chemistry to real life and local knowledge. Still, how engagement is measured varies between studies. In general, this review shows that ethno-STEM has strong potential to improve chemistry lessons by linking science and culture. But future research should be more consistent and explore how to use these methods in different types of classrooms.
