Abstract

High-order thinking skills (HOTS) are important skills that need to be developed early on. The Problem Based Learning (PBL) model as an active learning approach has the potential to improve students' HOTS by involving them in solving real-world problems. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model and curiosity in improving high-order thinking skills (HOTS) of fifth-grade elementary school students, as well as to analyze the interaction of the two variables in supporting the development of students' cognitive skills. The research method applied is an experimental study with a 2 x 2 factorial design, involving two independent variables, namely the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model and curiosity, and one dependent variable, namely high-order thinking skills (HOTS). The sample used in this study was 68 fifth-grade students from two elementary schools in Jakarta who were randomly selected using the cluster random sampling technique. The data collection techniques used were through HOTS ability tests, curiosity questionnaires, and observations of the learning process. Data analysis was carried out using a two-way ANOVA test to identify the influence and interaction between variables. In conclusion, the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model is effective to be applied in learning to improve students' HOTS, especially if supported by a high sense of curiosity. This approach can create a more meaningful and relevant learning environment, and become one of the innovative strategies in efforts to improve the quality of learning at the elementary school.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically analyze the evolution, research trends, and scientific impact of digital teaching and learning scaffolding through the application of bibliometric analysis. By employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 methodology, a total of 396 relevant journal articles published between 2013 and 2023 were identified from Google Scholar using Publish or Perish (PoP). The dataset was then analyzed using VOSviewer, with a specific focus on citation patterns, keyword co-occurrence, co-authorship networks, and thematic clusters. The bibliometric mapping revealed five dominant research clusters: (1) integration of digital technology in higher education, (2) learning strategies and their impact on students’ outcomes, (3) digital games and scaffolding approaches in children’s education, (4) teacher education development and practice, and (5) contextual influences in educational research. In addition, the study identifies prominent authors, highly influential publications, and major institutional as well as international collaborations, offering a comprehensive overview of the intellectual structure of the field. The findings highlight an increasing global interest in digital scaffolding in education, demonstrating its significant contributions to improving student engagement, cognitive development, problem-solving, and personalized learning experiences. Nevertheless, several challenges remain evident, particularly in terms of accessibility across diverse contexts, teacher readiness to adopt innovative pedagogies, and technological limitations within resource-constrained environments. This research contributes to the academic discourse by providing evidence-based insights and practical recommendations to optimize the implementation of digital scaffolding in contemporary educational settings. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of continuous exploration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and adaptive learning systems to further strengthen the effectiveness and sustainability of digital scaffolding practices in the future.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the connection between fourth graders' scientific literacy and critical thinking abilities in the 2023–2024 school year at SDN Kalibaru 05. Since the study sample included all fourth graders at SDN Kalibaru 05, a saturated sample was the sampling strategy employed. Objective, multiple-choice exams measuring scientific literacy (15 questions) and critical thinking (16 items) were used to gather data. With a dependability of 0.626, the whole instrument was valid. Due to the non-normal distribution of the data, non-parametric Spearman Rank correlation analysis was used for hypothesis testing. This research found a favorable and statistically significant correlation between students' scientific literacy and their ability to think critically. Children who are well-versed in the scientific method are therefore more likely to be capable thinkers. Science literacy and pupils' ability to think critically are two areas that teachers are strongly urged to work on. It is suggested that more studies be conducted to investigate the variables that influence scientific literacy and to evaluate the efficacy of various methods, techniques, and instructional media in this regard.. Keywords: Correlatiom, Science Literacy, Critical Thingking Skills, Science, Elementery School.

Abstract

Tanaman sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata Ness.) di Indonesia dikenal sebagai salah satu tanaman yang berkhasiat sebagai obat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ekstrak etanol daun sambiloto terhadap jumlah dan motilitas spermaozoa mencit (Mus musculus L.) jantan galur DDY. Sebanyak 24 ekor mencit jantan dengan berat antara 100-125 g yang dibagi menjadi empat kelompok perlakuan, diberikan ekstrak etanol secara oral selama 15 hari. Kelompok mencit pada perlakuan satu (P1) diberikan ekstrak etanol daun sambiloto 84 mg/kg bb. Kelompok mencit pada perlakuan dua (P2) dan tiga (P3) masing-masing diberikan ekstrak etanol daun sambiloto 140 mg/kg bb dan 196 mg/kg bb. Sedangkan kelompok kontrol (P0) tidak diberi perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kelompok perlakuan P3 (196 mg/kg bb) menunjukkan jumlah spermatozoa terbanyak yaitu 7,33 juta/ml, mengalami penurunan sebesar 78,86% terhadap kontrol.  Kandungan senyawa andrografolid dan flavonoid pada ekstrak sambiloto diduga kuat menjadi penyebab penurunan jumlah dan motilitas spermatozoa mencit. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan informasi bahwa pemberian ekstrak etanol daun sambiloto berpengaruh terhadap jumlah dan motilitas spermatozoa mencit jantan.
