Abstract

This systematic literature review investigates the role of computer modeling in science education with the objective of synthesizing its effectiveness in enhancing students' understanding of complex scientific concepts and providing actionable recommendations for pedagogical and policy improvements. The study employs a systematic approach to analyze 27 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2023, sourced from the Scopus database. Through this review, it is evident that computer modeling facilitates the visualization of abstract phenomena, such as molecular changes and planetary movements, which are otherwise challenging to observe in traditional classroom settings. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that computer simulations positively impact student engagement and motivation, leading to increased interest, participation, and critical thinking skills in science subjects. However, several challenges persist, including teacher skill gaps, insufficient technological infrastructure, and an over-reliance on virtual experiences, which limit the broader implementation of this innovative tool. This review concludes that addressing these barriers is crucial to maximizing the potential of computer modeling in science education. The insights derived from this study serve as valuable guidelines for educators and policymakers to effectively integrate computer modeling into science curricula, thereby advancing both teaching practices and student learning outcomes. This study concludes with actionable policy recommendations, including teacher training, infrastructure development, and curriculum integration, to address pedagogical challenges and technological barriers

Abstract

Many studies have focused on students conceptions about the concepts of matter found that students from various levels of education have difficulty in comprehending the states and/or changes of matter. The present study aims to explore undergraduate students conception regarding the states and changes of matter. A total of 16 first to third year university students from physics education and science education department voluntarily participated in the study. We employed semi-structured interviews with each participant in order to elicit students conceptions and alternative conceptions regarding the states and changes of matter. Students were also prompted to make their own molecular illustration during the interview. The present study found that undergraduate students had difficulty in connecting between macroscopic and microscopic concept levels of the states and changes of matter. Furthermore, students developed several alternative conceptions in terms of temperature, volume, mass, and density of an object during phase changes. Undergraduate students also tended to give fewer explanation about transformation on liquid and gas phases due to poor understanding of particulate nature of liquid and gas, molecular bonds in particular. The study suggests the necessity of developing instruction with more contextual learning and the use of dynamic visual media to enhance undergraduate students' comprehensive understanding of the states and changes of matter.

Abstract

The purpose of this overview is to map the studies focused on the nature of science in the scientific Scopus journal. The nature of science (NOS) and its impact on pedagogical learning and science education have become central themes of education and research. The Study methodology used in this study is bibliometrics utilising VOS viewer. Specifically, research results analysis and coward analysis were carried out. The term NOS has ever been analyzed in the Scopus database. A total of 2756 papers were analyzed consisting of 2048 articles, 202 conference articles, 56 books, 263 book chapters, and 187 other papers were analyzed. The results report that studies in the field of education of NOS more increased and have continued uninterruptedly up to the present day, even though interest generated in the scientific community has been irregular. It can be concluded that NOS studies have not had an established and robust line of research over time, this study can be observed that the trends in this aspect are focused on science education.

Abstract

The study of incorporating computational thinking (CT) into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has gained interest. We carried out a semi-systematic review of 50 empirical papers on this topic. Our findings highlighted the following crucial points: (a) the majority of research utilized domain-general descriptions for CT, while a few studies suggested domain-specific terms that addressed STEM education; (b) problem-based instruction developed as the most common teaching approach, with popular contextual topics including game design, robotics, and computational modelling; (c) assessments of student learning in combined CT and STEM varied in objectives and formats, with approximately one-third evaluating both CT and STEM integration. Based on our findings, we make recommendations for future study and implementation, with an emphasis on defining and evaluating CT in STEM contexts, developing successful instructional strategies for incorporating CT into STEM, and investigating approaches to promote inclusiveness in integrated CT and STEM education.

Abstract

This research investigates the competence of junior high school science teachers in Palu City, Indonesia, regarding laboratory teaching. The study aims to assess teachers' abilities in planning, implementing, and evaluating laboratory-based learning. Data were collected through observations, document reviews, and interviews with science teachers across six public junior high schools. The findings reveal that all schools engage in laboratory learning to some extent, with varying degrees of success. Teachers often create their own worksheets or use existing guides from science kits. Challenges identified include insufficient laboratory space, incomplete equipment, and a lack of dedicated laboratory assistants. Despite these obstacles, science teachers collaborate to ensure effective laboratory learning, highlighting the need for improved resources and support to enhance the overall quality of science education. The study concludes that while teachers demonstrate competency in laboratory teaching, further development is needed in creating practicum guides, conducting experiments, and assessing student skills. Future research should explore the impact of teacher competence on student learning outcomes in laboratory settings.
