Abstract

Purpose-Contextual learning approaches play an important role in supporting the needs of 21st-century Education. Socioscientific issues (SSI) orientation is one form of contextual approach that is relevant to physics learning. This study aims to see research trends on socioscientific issues in the period 2014 to 2023. The main focus of this study is to understand the role of SSI in supporting the development of 21st-century skills.Methodology-This type of research includes literature using bibliometric analysis methods. The data analysis process used VOSviewer software to obtain a network visualization that states the relationship between keywords.Findings-The synthesis results refer to the distribution of articles per year, research themes, countries of affiliation, and authors. One hundred articles were successfully identified through the Scopus database, showing that research on socioscientific issues fluctuates yearly. Based on bibliometric analysis, the keyword "socioscientific issues" is closely related to students' scientific literacy attitudes and abilities. This relationship highlights the importance of socioscientific issues in learning, especially in helping students understand scientific issues relevant to everyday life.Significance-Research also shows that integrating sociocultural issues in learning plays an important role in supporting the development of 21st-century skills. Therefore, the relevance of Socioscientific Issues can be applied by teachers in physics learning.Keywords: Bibliometric; physics; science; socio-scientific issues

Abstract

Purpose – As critical thinking is a key competency in science education, this study employs a meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing students' critical thinking skills. This study analyzed 21 articles published between 2017 and 2024. These articles specifically discuss the effectiveness of PBL implementation in enhancing students' critical thinking skills.Methodology – The selection criteria included peer-reviewed articles published between 2017 and 2024, which provided explicit numerical data (sample size, mean, standard deviation) and a direct focus on the impact of PBL on critical thinking skills. A random-effects model was chosen due to expected variability among studies, and the effect size was calculated using Hedges' g to ensure robust findings. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 29 to calculate the summary effect, analyze heterogeneity, construct a forest plot, and identify potential publication bias.Findings – The meta-analysis revealed a significant improvement in critical thinking skills for students who experienced PBL-based learning compared to conventional methods (summary effect = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.15-1.0, p = 0.01). This shows that 57% of learning with PBL models analyzed has a significant positive effect on students' critical thinking skills. The heterogeneity test indicated (I² value = 93,9% > 25%), suggesting moderate variability among the analyzed studies. Funnel plots and Egger's regression tests indicate no risk of publication bias.Contribution– These findings emphasize the importance of integrating PBL into science curricula to foster critical thinking skills. Educators should consider structured PBL frameworks, while policymakers could support teacher training initiatives to optimize implementation. Future studies may explore longitudinal effects and variations across different educational levels.
