Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive overview related to higher-order thinking skills (HOTs) as well as recommendations for future study opportunities for educators and researchers. This study uses the systematic literature review (SLR) method to present critically the knowledge, ideas, and findings contained in academic-oriented literature. A total of 276 synthesized papers have been selected from the Scopus database. Annual publication frequency, number of documents, research methods, scope of themes, productive journals and proceedings in research, and learning approaches used in improving HOTs are reviewed. The results show that HOTs in science education have been receiving attention from researchers in the last eight years. Based on the 63 documents reviewed, include HOTs in the title and abstract. Proceedings in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series are the most contributors to publishing HOTs in science education. Quantitative methods are more widely adopted in HOTs research than research and development (R&D), qualitative, mixed, and non-empirical methods. In addition, models of teaching are also the most chosen theme in science education, and the most widely used mobile learning approach to increase HOTs. In the future, this study can become a reference for researchers to consider various solutions to maximize HOTs.

Abstract

Local context-based science learning is an effective approach to improve students relevance and understanding. This research aims to reconstruct local knowledge of coastal communities related to the process of making palm sugar as a source of science learning. The research method uses a descriptive-qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and scientific literature reviews. Furthermore, the data were analyzed through triangulation to produce a scientific interpretation of the traditional practice. The results of the study indicate that the process of making palm sugar reflects the principles of sustainability, utilization of renewable energy, and natural preservation. In addition, the integration of science concepts with business and conservation aspects enriches the relevance of learning for students. It can be concluded that the reconstruction of local knowledge is able to support the preservation of local culture and ecosystems while increasing students understanding of applicable science. The contribution of this study to science is to create a sustainable learning approach, relevant to everyday life, and support the preservation of local wisdom in modern education. This integration provides new opportunities to improve scientific literacy in coastal areas by harmoniously connecting traditional knowledge and science.

Abstract

Abstrack In primary school science learning, videos are frequently used as a medium. However, there are still many teachers who do not utilize interactive videos. Some teachers face difficulties in independently developing videos. Self-made videos can be tailored to the content, and appropriate material can encourage students to be active, creative, and independent. Therefore, the development of interactive videos is needed in teaching, particularly in subjects like the change of states of matter. The development of interactive videos is expected to make students more active, thereby improving learning outcomes. The aim of this research is to develop interactive videos believed to be valid by experts, practical for teachers and students, and effective in enhancing the learning achievements of primary school students. The research type is development research and development and using the ADDIE development model. Data was collected from media and material validators in the interactive video, as well as from teachers and fifth grade students. Data collection techniques involved observation, interviews with teachers, questionnaires, and written tests. According to content experts, the material's validity in the video is 75%, categorized as moderately valid. According to media experts, the validity of the media is 96.87%, classified as highly valid. The practicality level of the interactive video, according to teachers and students, is 100%, considered highly practical. Based on effectiveness testing, the interactive video significantly influences improving student learning outcomes Keywords: Interactive video, Material Changes Form Objects, Learning Outcomes

Abstract

Misconceptions must be addressed immediately because they can cause failure to achieve learning objectives. The purpose of this study was to identify misconceptions, determine the level of misconception categories in the concept of force, such as friction, spring force, and muscle force, and determine the science learning process in the material of force. This study has a uniqueness in the form of subjects used, namely schools participating in the Kampus Mengajar 7 program, where the literacy and numeracy conditions of students are relatively low. This study uses a qualitative approach, with research subjects being students and teachers of grade IV at one of the elementary schools in Blitar City. The data collected include the results of the Three-Tier Diagnostic test to identify misconceptions, interviews with teachers, and documentation. Data analysis methods consist of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that there were misconceptions in the material of force in science learning, especially in friction, spring force, and muscle force. Of the three concepts of force, there are still misconceptions in the material of force based on its type, such as spring force and friction having a high category and muscle force with a low category. These findings highlight the need for more hands-on experimentation and contextualized instruction in elementary science education to reduce misconceptions. Meanwhile, in the science learning process, teachers use a direct instruction model with a few experiments.
