Abstract

Renewable energy is a global concern and should be incorporated into education to raise awareness among younger generations, including in physics education. Educators have made various efforts to raise awareness of the importance of pursuing renewable energy. A breakthrough sought in this research is to incorporate collaborative learning into the science-technology-engineering-art-mathematics (STEAM) approach. Integrating STEAM into collaborative learning can simultaneously develop critical and creative thinking skills by exploring local resources to become renewable energy sources. The research involved 36 high school students who met the criteria for having a smartphone and accessing a reliable internet connection. These conditions are designed to facilitate students' producing essays and posters exploring renewable energy sources in their local area. The research design employs a one-group pretest-posttest approach to assess the effectiveness of this STEAM-based collaborative learning process. The data collected from tests that have undergone t-tests and N-gain analysis, triangulated with observation data and questionnaires, illustrates the progress made in improving students' critical and creative thinking abilities. In conclusion, the implementation of STEAM-based collaborative learning demonstrates the highest level of achievement in creative thinking. It enables the production of innovative mini-projects that critically analyze local resources available for national energy sources.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the development process, examine the validity, analyze user responses (teachers and students), and determine improvements in students’ critical thinking skills and creativity through the implementation of a science learning module based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) integrated with deep learning on the topic of Light and Optical Instruments. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using a modified ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The trial participants consisted of 25 eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 1 Pulau Malan. The findings indicate that: (1) the learning module was successfully developed in accordance with the ADDIE procedure, resulting in a 100-page instructional product; (2) the module met the “Highly Feasible” criteria based on expert validation by subject-matter and media specialists, with an overall mean validity score of 93.13%; (3) teacher and student responses were highly positive (teachers: 94.25%; students: 91.80%), indicating that the module is systematic and effective in supporting conceptual understanding; (4) there was a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills, as evidenced by an N-Gain score of 0.75 (high category); and (5) students’ creativity skills reached a very high category (91.50%) following module implementation, particularly in the dimensions of flexibility and originality, supported by the use of recycled materials in optical instrument projects. This study concludes that the PjBL-based learning module on Light and Optical Instruments is effective as an alternative instructional resource for strengthening students’ 21st-century skills.
