Abstract

The numerous amounts of research regarding STEM education in the last five years indicate that every country put their eyes on the development of STEM education itself. In the school settings, the STEM education rises starting from middle school to higher education. There is a need in reviewing the articles of STEM education for middle school students. By selecting 17 articles indexed by Scopus and has a grade of Q1, this study was conducted. The results of this critical review shows that the majority of articles can be divided into big three themes; the integration of STEM education with other instructional approaches, STEM and gender, and professional development in STEM education. This study implies that various instructional approaches can maximized STEM education to foster students learning output. There is also no correlation between gender and their cognitive skills while learning STEM subject. The most important thing, STEM education can be more successful if the teachers got a proper professional development.

Abstract

This study examines how problem-solving patterns in science among 9th-grade students correlate with different personality types based on Keirsey's classification: Idealist, Artisan, Guardian, and Rational. It employs the Investigation of Lived Experience methodology in Cognitive Psychology to delve into the internal experiences of 36 students from SMP Negeri 5 Bandung. The research explores gender distribution, school representation, and the prevalence of each personality type among the participants. Data collection methods include adapted questionnaires, written tests on earth and space science concepts, and follow-up interviews. These instruments are analyzed using the fixed comparison method to identify and understand distinct problem-solving tendencies associated with each personality type. Specifically, Idealists are found to prioritize understanding, Artisans employ intuitive-analogical approaches, Guardians rely on intuitive hypotheses, and rationalists utilize analogical reasoning. Overall, this study provides detailed insights into how personality types influence problem-solving strategies in science education. It suggests implications for personalized educational approaches tailored to individual student preferences and tendencies, aiming to enhance learning outcomes in 9th-grade science classrooms.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of light wavelength on solar cell performance through a hands-on laboratory experiment designed for junior high school students. The experiment utilized a spectrometer app to measure the dominant wavelengths of various visible light colors and assessed the corresponding voltage and current generated by a solar cell. Results indicated a clear inverse relationship between wavelength and solar cell output, with shorter wavelengths producing higher voltage and current values. For example, light with a wavelength of 400 nm resulted in the highest voltage (1.75 V) and current (13.9 µA), whereas light at 650 nm generated the lowest output (1.43 V and 8.7 µA). This experiment provides an accessible, cost-effective way for students to grasp the principles of solar energy and wavelength effects, enhancing their understanding of energy conversion in renewable technologies.
