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).
