Abstract

Creative thinking is an essential learning outcome in undergraduate chemistry education, particularly in electrochemistry, where students are required to integrate conceptual understanding with problem solving and real world applications.  Integrating science literacy within a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics–Problem Based Learning (STEM-PBL) framework offers a practical instructional approach to address this challenge by situating electrochemical concepts in authentic problem contexts. This study analysed the effectiveness of a science literacy integrated STEM-PBL model in enhancing undergraduate students’ creative thinking skills in an electrochemistry course. A quantitative quasi experimental design was employed, involving an experimental group taught using the science literacy integrated STEM-PBL model and a control group receiving traditional instruction. Students’ creative thinking skills were measured before and after instruction using a validated assessment instrument. Instructional effectiveness was evaluated by comparing normalized gain (N-gain) scores between the two groups. The results show that students who participated in the STEM-PBL learning environment achieved a substantially higher N-gain score (75.47%) than those in the control group (49.96%). These findings indicate that integrating science literacy into STEM-PBL activities significantly enhances students’ creative thinking skills in electrochemistry learning. The results have important implications for chemistry instruction. They suggest that incorporating science literacy oriented, problem based STEM activities can provide instructors with an effective strategy to promote creative thinking and deepen students’ understanding of electrochemical concepts. This approach may support the design of more engaging and meaningful electrochemistry learning experiences in undergraduate chemistry classrooms.

Abstract

The integration of 21st-century learning and generic science skills (GSS) is critical in developing students' higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), especially in chemistry education. This quasi-experimental study aimed to analyze the effects of implementing four GSS-integrated digital learning models (PjBL-GSS, PBL-GSS, IBL-GSS, and DL-GSS) and students’ initial abilities on their HOTS performance. A total of 397 students participated, grouped by initial ability levels and assigned to different learning models. Data were collected using validated instruments including scholastic tests and HOTS assessments, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and two-way ANOVA. The results showed significant effects of both initial abilities and learning models on HOTS, with IBL-GSS being the most effective, especially for high-ability students. Moreover, significant interactions were found between initial ability and the type of model used. The study suggests that selecting appropriate digital learning models based on students' prior knowledge is essential to foster optimal HOTS outcomes. Teachers are encouraged to align instructional design with both GSS indicators and students’ learning readiness.
