This analysis of environmental physics learning is significant because it examines the efficacy of innovative pedagogical approaches in physics with a focus on environmental applications. This study summarizes the comprehensive evaluation and reconstruction of the environmental physics program, which aims to align it with contemporary society's demands and urgent environmental management needs. This study aims to describe the planning, implementation, assessment, and student response to learning or lecturing environmental physics. The instruments used in this study were observation sheets for planning, implementation, and assessment, as well as a questionnaire of student responses to environmental physics lectures. The data analysis results show that the average percentage of environmental physics learning planning falls into the sufficient category at 65%. The average implementation of learning or environmental physics lectures is 78% good. The assessment score for learning environmental physics was 61.67%, placing it in the sufficient category. The student response to the implementation of environmental physics lectures was mixed, with 21.1% stating it was not interesting and 78.9% stating it was quite interesting.

Understanding how young people perceive renewable and non-renewable energy sources is essential for aligning education with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study explores the perspectives of 748 Indonesian high school students on solar panel versus fossil fuels through an open-ended question. Different from previous studies, this work uses semantic network analysis to map the conceptual connections in students’ understanding, which provides us a structural perspective on students’ perceptions. Using semantic network analysis with NetMiner, 748 Indonesian students’ responses were categorized into five ideas: Fossil fuels formation (G1), Solar panel role in sustainability (G2), Practical benefits of solar panels (G3), Non-renewable resource concern (G4), and Unsustainable fossil fuels use (G5). The findings indicate that students have a basic understanding of environmental and resource-related issues. Most responses remain surface level with limited demonstration of critical thinking. Furthermore, students’ ideas primarily address the environmental and economic pillars of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) while the social pillar is rarely discussed. These results highlight the need to improve ESD practices in Indonesia by explicitly integrating social dimensions into sustainability education. Empowering students to consider who is affected by sustainability decisions, and how they can contribute to fairer, more inclusive solutions can help to increase not only environmental awareness but also foster civic responsibility and empathy.

The attitude toward science has been studied among science education researchers for over 50 years. This study aims to test the validity of BRAINS (Behaviors, Related Attitudes, and Intentions toward Science) instrument using the IRT analysis and measure science attitude among lower secondary school students by comparing gender and socioeconomic status (SES). About 30 items of BRAINS instrument was administered to 1001 students. IRT analysis was run using TAM package in R to examine the instrument dimensionality, the item fit properties, the EAP (Expected A Posteriori) reliability, and WLE (Weighted Maximum Likelihood Estimation) reliability while LORDIF package in R was used to test the generalizability. Later, two-way ANOVA and clustering of students’ response were performed using the SPSS and mclust package in R, respectively. Generally, IRT analysis indicated that the BRAINS instrument is proper to measure the students’ attitude toward science. BRAINS consisted of five dimensions, and most BRAINS items had a good fit with the IRT. Item reliability was good in all dimensions, while person reliability was fair in two dimensions. The generalizability test showed that some items were flagged for differential item functioning (DIF). Regarding attitude towards science, females had a higher attitude towards science than males, significantly in behavior, intention and normative dimensions. Furthermore, a higher science attitude was found among low SES than high SES students, although this was only significant in control dimension. Clustering analysis revealed two groups of students based on their attitude towards science (those with high and low scores) and most of students in this study are classified into low science attitude group. The findings of this study imply that specific actions are needed to improve students’ attitudes towards science, especially among students from less privileged backgrounds. Schools could adopt inclusive, student-centered, and inquiry-based science teaching to make science more engaging. Keywords: Attitude toward science, BRAINS, IRT analysis, Secondary school, Validity.
