Abstract

Science education in phase D aims to develop scientific attitudes, one of which is critical thinking skills. To achieve this, it is necessary to implement learning that can foster critical thinking skills and encourage active student participation. This study examines the application of integrated problem-based learning (PBL-POE) and its relationship to students' critical thinking skills. The method used is qualitative case study research. The subjects of this study were four science teachers at a public junior high school in Bandung. Data was collected through interviews. Data analysis was based on an interactive model, including data collection, data condensation, data presentation, data verification, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that problem-based learning and PBL-POE have not been implemented in the school. One of the factors influencing this is teacher competence. Regarding critical thinking skills, each teacher has their own views on the skills that need to be developed by students, but these have not been implemented in PBL-POE learning. The relationship with critical thinking skills has not yet been established because PBL-POE has not yet been implemented, so no correlation or data on this relationship has been found.

Abstract

Creativity is regarded as essential for work, thinking, and life in the twenty-first century. Teaching solar cells can influence and encourage students' creative thinking skills. This research aims to evaluate the creative thinking skills of Indonesian students, validate the innovative thinking skills test adapted for Indonesia, and classify the difficulty level of the questions and students' creative thinking skills. The participants were 32 students from 10th-grade high school at a college in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The creative thinking skills test consists of essay questions. Data collection was carried out through paper-based tests. The results of the Rasch analysis show that the adapted creative thinking skills test meets the validity and reliability criteria based on Rasch parameters. Differential item function (DIF) analysis shows that only two of the 12 items fall into the bias question category, so they need to be reviewed. The study's implication can help teachers and researchers anticipate student success rates in disciplines other than mathematics and science. This is because creative thinking skills must be included in the Merdeka curriculum

Abstract

The importance of science literacy skills prompted this study to analyze the profile of science literacy competence of junior high school students in biodiversity in Indonesia. OECD defines science literacy as the ability to identify questions, acquire new knowledge, explain scientific phenomena, and draw conclusions based on facts. This research uses a quantitative approach involving 200 students from SMP Negeri 1 Pagaden Subang and SMPN 2 Pagaden Subang. The E-Test consisted of 25 questions distributed via WhatsApp Group by natural science subject teachers. Data were processed using Microsoft Excel and grouped based on the difficulty level of the questions (low, medium, high). The results show that junior high school students' science literacy skills are still in the low category. In explaining scientific phenomena competence, the percentage of correct answers for low and medium difficulty questions reached 66% and 67%, respectively, while for high difficulty questions it was only 55%. In evaluating and designing scientific investigations competence, questions with low difficulty levels had the highest percentage of correct answers (68%), followed by medium (56%) and high difficulty levels (43%). In interpreting scientific data and evidence competence, questions with low difficulty levels reached 78%, medium 69%, and high 58%. These findings are consistent with previous studies showing the low science literacy of students in various regions of Indonesia. Therefore, more intensive and sustainable efforts are needed to improve students' science literacy through more effective and interactive learning methods and teacher training. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers in formulating more appropriate education strategies to improve students' science literacy competence in Indonesia.

Abstract

Academic success, especially in science education, is greatly influenced by student engagement, but its effects vary depending on socioeconomic status and past performance, leaving gaps in how each type of engagement specifically impacts junior high students. According to research, these interactions require more investigation in order to guide focused interventions, fair policies, and instructional strategies that improve student engagement and science proficiency, particularly for diverse student populations. This study investigates the relationship between junior high school scientific achievement and student involvement, with a particular emphasis on the engagement indicators that most accurately predict academic performance. This study uses a correlational research design to quantitatively examine the direction and degree of the association between junior high school students' academic achievement in science and their level of student involvement. Participants in the study were 100 eighth graders (31% male, 69% female) from a public junior high school in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. There are two instruments used in the study, namely a questionnaire for student engagement and multiple-choice questions through online exams with the Pijar Sekolah application. Since all of the Spearman coefficients were weak and statistically insignificant (p > 0.05), the study found no significant correlation between academic achievement and student engagement (cognitive, behavioural, emotional, or social). These results suggest that engagement-focused therapies should be re-examined, and other indicators of academic performance should be investigated. In order to better understand these dynamics, future research should use longitudinal designs and include other variables (such as self-efficacy and institutional support).

Abstract

In order to accommodate students' varied cultural backgrounds and improve their educational experiences, culturally responsive teaching, or CRT, must be incorporated into science instruction. This study used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) as its research method, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) standards. In order to investigate the connection between science concepts and West Java culture, this process entails “identification, screening, and included” of pertinent literature. It follows methodical and open procedures to guarantee the validity and reliability of the results. The findings of the analysis show that seventh, eighth, and ninth graders' science concepts are strongly tied to West Java cultural elements, such as traditional musical instruments, traditional sports, traditional foods, traditional dances, folk entertainment, and agricultural practices. This integration of local culture into the science curriculum enhances students' understanding and respect of their heritage while also making the learning environment more engaging.

Abstract

Indonesia has followed the Scientific Literacy Test in PISA OECD and the rank is at the bottom. Scientific literacy is important things in science education because it involves the skills of scientific thinking in society life. This study aims to find the validity and reliability of scientific literacy in PISA 2015 using the Rasch model. The method of this research used quantitative survey research that assessed 15 years of 92 secondary school students. The validity in general shows the test items are not valid, but the validity in each test item shows 17 of 20 questions are valid. Reliability in person is lower than reliability in items. Even though, the test items still have good quality from the reliability findings. The novelty of this study is the validity and reliability of the PISA 2015 test items in Indonesian students as the sample. PISA 2015 used scientific literacy as the dominant test at that time. This study has benefitted other researchers by showing the importance of the validity and reliability of the instruments and ensuring the quality of the instruments for other researchers who will conduct future research using good validity and reliable instruments.

Abstract

This study explores the correlation between Scientific Literacy (SL) results from PISA 2015 released items, the Test of Logical Thinking (TOLT), and Science Score Achievement (SSA). The method of this study used an explanatory sequential research design with cross-sectional and convenience sampling. Ninety-two 15-year-old students and science teachers participated. The correlation between SL, TOLT, and SSA was positive but moderately weak. The average SL score was low at 33.04%. TOLT results showed that 64.13% of students demonstrated concrete reasoning, 32.61% proportional reasoning, and 3.26% formal reasoning. SSA scores averaged 81.90, with 53 students scoring above average. Interviews with teachers suggested low SL and LT scores resulted from a lack of hands-on activities, as teachers relied heavily on lectures. Science textbooks also lacked inquiry-based learning tasks. The limitations of this research are that it does not cover gender comparison, school curriculums, or school locations, whether urban or suburban. The psychological aspects regarding the students’ interest or efficacy are not included in the discussion or provided. Also, students with positive learning experiences in science have good results in SL, and TOLT has not been proven empirically.

Abstract

This study evaluates the need for validated instruments to measure students' environmental literacy (EL) and creative thinking skills (CTS). It specifically aims to evaluate the content validity and inter-rater reliability of these instruments. Content validity was evaluated using Aiken's V, which quantified the level of agreement among three experts on the relevance and suitability of instrument items. The instrument includes 30 questions for EL, and 16 questions for CTS. Subsequently, inter-rater reliability was analyzed with Cohen's Kappa and Fleiss' Kappa to measure agreement between two or more raters. The findings demonstrate that both the EL and CTS instruments possess excellent content validity, with the majority of items rated as valid by the experts. Furthermore, the analysis indicated moderate to high agreement among the raters, confirming the instruments' reliability for continued research. Future research is encouraged to incorporate a greater number of experts for content validity testing to gain a more diverse perspective, as well as more raters in the reliability analysis to enhance the representation of agreement

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of ThinkFeels Diary as a meta-affective and meta-cognitive assessment tool in supporting students' mental health in science classrooms. The study used a mixed-method approach and included 205 students.  The ThinkFeels Diary, which allowed students to record both cognitive learning components and affective responses (emotions and feelings) during science courses, was the main component of the intervention. The MENTAL-Q questionnaire was used in pre-test and post-test designs to quantify the influence on mental health. Qualitative data from 3,840 student reflections were analyzed using NVivo 12. Results showed varied outcomes across classrooms. Two topics demonstrated significant changes: "The Nature of Science & Scientific Method" (p = 0.037, mean difference = -0.16) and "Measurement" (p = 0.018, mean difference = -1.41), both showing decreased mental health scores, possibly due to increased metacognitive demands. Analysis of sub-dimensions revealed complex patterns: the "Human Digestive System" topic showed notable improvements in empathy (+0.39) and adaptability (+0.37), though accompanied by increased depression (+0.38) and stress (+0.26).  According to the qualitative analysis, students’ emotional awareness (meta-affective) interacts dynamically with strategic thinking (meta-cognitive) before, during and after the learning. Reflection acts as a crucial link that turns experience into growth. This findings revealed the need of considering cognitive-emotional demands of different science topics to effectively support student mental health.
