Abstract

MA NU Banat Kudus has two educational programs: boarding and regular classes. These two programs differ, particularly in terms of independence; boarding school students live in school dormitories, which require them to be independent in many aspects of daily life. In addition, education in boarding schools is divided into two types, namely diniyah learning and regular learning, while regular students only have regular learning. Critical thinking is also an important aspect that must be considered. This study aims to analyze the differences in critical thinking skills and learning independence attitudes between boarding school and regular class students in physics learning at MA NU Banat Kudus. The method used in this study is a mixed methods with a triangulation design, combining a quantitative approach through tests and a qualitative approach through interviews. The study population consisted of grade XI students, divided into two groups: boarding and regular. Quantitative data analysis was carried out using the T test, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results of the study showed that there was no significant difference in critical thinking between boarding school and regular students. Based on the t-test, a significant value of 0.67 was obtained, and the average results per aspect also showed no difference between boarding school and regular students. Meanwhile, the findings on student independence showed that boarding school students demonstrated better learning independence than regular students. This study recommends that schools develop more strategic planning for boarding programs to improve overall quality and implement active learning approaches, such as Problem-Based Learning, to enhance both critical thinking skills and learning independence among students in all types of schools.

Abstract

Background: Problem-Based Learning, PBL, is a student-centered approach in science education that promotes conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking by engaging learners with authentic contextual problems. Aims: This systematic review synthesizes how PBL is implemented in science education, what outcomes are most frequently reported, and what barriers commonly hinder its adoption. Method: A PRISMA-guided systematic literature review was conducted using Scopus. Searches employed the terms “problem-based learning,” “science education,” and “science learning.” Eligible studies were empirical journal articles and conference proceedings published from 2017 to August 2025, written in English, and involving participants from elementary school through higher education. Of 388 records identified, 53 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed according to publication trends, research designs, implementation strategies, targeted outcomes, and reported constraints. Results: Across educational levels, PBL was consistently associated with cognitive gains, especially in critical thinking, problem solving, and higher-order thinking skills. The reviewed evidence also indicated affective benefits, including stronger scientific attitudes, improved learning motivation, and enhanced collaboration. Nevertheless, recurring challenges emerged, such as limited instructional time, demanding assessment processes, curriculum coverage pressures, uneven teacher readiness, unequal participation in group work, and gaps in access to learning resources and technology. Conclusion: PBL offers clear promise for improving both cognitive and affective dimensions of science learning, yet its success depends on well-designed contextual problems, adequate pedagogical support, and alignment with learners’ readiness. Strengthening teacher capacity and refining assessment practices are essential to reduce persistent implementation barriers.

Abstract

The context in science learning needs to be linked contextually and be interdisciplinary so that learning becomes more meaningful. This research aims to analyze the local wisdom of the people of Magelang Regency in making pottery as a science learning resource containing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) on temperature and heat. The subjects of this study were pottery artisans in Kragilan, Donorojo, Mertoyudan, Magelang, Central Java. The research design used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in literature and field studies (interviews and documentation). The data in the research is qualitative, namely the results of interviews and identification of local wisdom in making pottery in Magelang Regency, which can be used as a science learning resource with STEM content. In addition, qualitative data analyses local wisdom in making pottery in science learning resources with STEM content on science material. This research shows that local wisdom in making Magelang pottery, especially roof tiles and braziers, is appropriate to the science learning context. The process of making pottery can be internalized in science learning as a science learning resource containing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) for teaching Temperature and Heat material.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Qur’an-integrated solar system teaching materials in improving students’ spiritual attitudes and critical thinking skills. A quasi-experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design was employed. The participants consisted of 105 students from two pesantren-based Madrasah Aliyah in Semarang and Kendal, divided into an experimental group (n = 51) and a control group (n = 54). The experimental group was taught using Qur’an-integrated teaching materials, while the control group used conventional materials. Data were collected through a validated spiritual attitude questionnaire and an essay-based critical thinking test. Data were analyzed using normalized gain and independent sample t-test. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a higher improvement in spiritual attitudes (g = 0.52, moderate) compared to the control group (g = 0.14, low). Similarly, critical thinking skills in the experimental group (g = 0.55, moderate) were significantly higher than in the control group (g = 0.16, low). Independent sample t-tests revealed significant differences between groups in critical thinking skills (t = -2.88, p = 0.006) and spiritual attitudes (t = 3.41, p = 0.001). These findings indicate that Qur’an-integrated teaching materials are effective in enhancing both affective and cognitive domains. This study contributes to the development of integrative physics learning that bridges scientific concepts and spiritual values in Islamic-based education.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of oxygen (O₂) exposure on the optical and electrical properties of ZnO:Ga₂O₃ thin films synthesized by the Microwave-Assisted Spray Pyrolysis (MASP) method. A 3% Ga₂O₃ doping level was used as the optimal composition to enhance the film’s stability and conductivity. After deposition and annealing at 450 °C, the films were exposed to O₂ gas at pressures ranging from 0 to 400 mTorr to evaluate their oxygen detection capability. Optical properties were characterized using UV–Vis spectroscopy, while electrical measurements were performed with an IV-meter employing the two-point probe method. The results show that the optical band gap increased from 3.19 eV to 3.23 eV with rising O₂ pressure due to the Burstein–Moss effect, indicating a shift of the Fermi level and carrier concentration change upon oxygen adsorption. Simultaneously, the electrical resistance increased from 1.05 × 10⁷ Ω to 1.25 × 10⁷ Ω, attributed to the formation of a surface depletion layer that reduces the density of free carriers. In addition, the sensitivity increased from 1.90% at 100 mTorr to 19.05% at 400 mTorr, indicating an increasingly pronounced electrical response with increasing oxygen pressure. The positive correlation between band gap and resistance confirms that oxygen exposure directly affects the film’s optoelectronic behavior. With high transparency, structural stability, and linear response to oxygen, the ZnO:Ga₂O₃ thin film demonstrates strong potential for real-time oxygen sensing applications.
