Abstract

The integration of Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) with STEM and STEAM approaches has gained attention in recent years due to their shared emphasis on inquiry, collaboration, and real-world problem solving. However, a comprehensive synthesis of how this integration has been researched is still lacking. This scoping review aims to map the trends, patterns, and gaps in studies focusing on ADI-STEM/STEAM integration in secondary science education. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines for scoping reviews, literature was collected from Scopus and Google Scholar using a range of relevant keywords. Thirteen eligible articles published up to April 2025 were analyzed based on publication type, country, research method, subject, and focus. Findings show that research on ADI-STEM/STEAM integration began in 2020 and is primarily concentrated in Indonesia. Most studies used mixed methods and focused on physics education, with key variables including conceptual understanding and argumentation skills. However, creative thinking, reflective thinking, scientific literacy, and self-efficacy remain underexplored—particularly within the ADI–STEAM context. Only one study was categorized as a development study, indicating opportunities for designing specialized instructional tools or media to support integration. This study is the first to systematically map ADI-STEM/STEAM research trends using a scoping review approach. Its novelty lies in providing a structured and visualized synthesis of an emerging field. The results offer important insights for educators and researchers seeking to expand innovative, interdisciplinary, and inquiry-based practices in science education.

Abstract

Students often struggle to identify and position themselves in physics class which is known as the conceptualization of physics identity. One of the contributing factors is the limited learning environment that fosters engagement and a sense of belonging in physics. This study aims to develop, validate, and test the practicality of physics learning tools in a non-formal context, specifically through a physics club. The research employs the Research and Development (R&D) design with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The instruments were validity and practicality questionnaires. The content validity was assessed by two experts: one physics lecturer and one physics teacher. In addition, the practicality testing involved one physics teacher and 36 students from Laboratory Senior High School UM (Universitas Negeri Malang). Data were analyzed through descriptive statistic by presenting the percentage of the validity and the aspect of practicality. The developed products include a physics club program book, a physics club activity module, and a physics club material book. The validity results showed that the program content achieved 94% (highly valid), the media and material validity of the physics club activity module scored 81% and 89% respectively (highly valid), and the media and material validity of the physics club material book scored 89% and 91% (highly valid). Practicality tests by teachers and students yielded scores of 97% (highly practical) and 77% (practical), respectively. Based on these results, the physics club learning tools are declared valid and practical for use in order to strengthen students’ physics identity.

Abstract

STEM plays a very important role in the progress of a country. The choice of interest in work in the STEM field is influenced by STEM identity. The importance of STEM identity needs to be known for educational institutions to increase student interest in the STEM field. This research aims to describe the STEM identity construction of a high school student studying physics with independent curriculum guidelines. The type of research used is qualitative research with a case study method in the form of a single case study. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with one participant based on purposive sampling techniques. The data obtained was then confirmed through field notes during six physics learning meetings as a form of data triangulation. This research uses the STEM identity construct which includes three indicators. The main participant is a female student in class X high school who has a strong STEM identity among other students. The results of this study show that indicators of interest, recognition, and performance-competence influence the STEM identity construction formed by high school students. Increasing STEM identity can be done by optimizing the STEM approach in the independent curriculum.

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the intervention and the context of implementation of a multiple representations (MR)-based instructional approach as a classroom practice in an first-year thermodynamics course for preservice physics teachers at an Indonesian university. We argue that the implementation of this approach will contribute to the enhancement of students’ conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. By enhancing those two aspects, we intend to contribute to their development of physics identity and physics teacher identity. We illustrate how this MR approach is applied in the classroom and describe how the relationship between the aspects of this approach interacts with physics identity and physics teacher identity. During lessons the teacher used real-life examples and students were encouraged to use different representations when they solved problems in small groups. The students realized that learning physics could involve many representations and might increase their interest to physics. However, we found some situations that did not match our expectations. For instance, most of the students were more interested when the problems were in the form of mathematical representation. In addition, we found that some students were inactive in the class. Therefore, it is necessary to think as educators about how to provide a positive learning experience to stimulate the development of student's identity. This work exemplifies how physics educators can stimulate physics and physics teacher identity formation in their physics courses as a preparation for future physics teachers.

Abstract

This study aims to map the challenges faced by science teachers in designing inquiry-based learning through a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. The PRISMA method was used to screen articles from the ERIC database published between 2020 and 2025. Out of 292 initial articles, a rigorous inclusion-exclusion process narrowed the sample to 14 relevant studies, which were then thematically analyzed. The findings revealed nine major thematic challenges: limited understanding of inquiry, lack of experience, reliance on traditional teaching methods, difficulty integrating inquiry into classroom practice, insufficient institutional support, inadequate professional development, challenges in designing inquiry elements, time constraints, and unsupported assessment practices. These challenges are interrelated and reflect the multidimensional nature of barriers to effective inquiry-based science instruction. This study provides empirical contributions to support science education policy development and the design of teacher training programs responsive to 21st-century learning demands.

Abstract

Laboratory activities play a central role in fundamental physics courses because they support the development of procedural skills, experimental reasoning, and practical problem solving. This study investigates whether gender and class group are associated with the laboratory performance of undergraduate physics students. The participants were 54 first-year physics students enrolled in a fundamental physics laboratory course. Laboratory performance was measured through structured observation rubrics focusing on procedural accuracy and practical engagement, as well as an individual performance test assessing experimental readiness and data interpretation skills. Descriptive analysis showed that the mean score for performance observation was 88.44, while the mean score for performance test was 67.04. Both variables were non-normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilk = 0.92, p < 0.001) but showed homogeneous variances across gender and class group. Spearman analysis revealed a moderate positive association between observation and test scores ( = 0.399, p = 0.0028), suggesting that students who performed well during laboratory activities tended to achieve higher scores on individual performance test. Wilcoxon test showed that gender was linked to differences in observation scores (W = 480, p = 0.03748) but not on test scores (W = 368.5, p = 0.8892), whereas class group showed the opposite pattern. Overall, the findings highlights the importance of using multiple assessment approaches to capture laboratory performance more comprehensively and to avoid overinterpreting gender differences as deficits. The results contribute context-specific evidence form Indonesian physics education and support efforts to promote more equitable laboratory learning environments.
