Abstract

Modern physics education emphasizes the development of higher-order thinking skills, including critical thinking and problem-solving, alongside conceptual understanding. Static electricity, being an abstract topic, often presents difficulties and gives rise to student misconceptions. PhET Interactive Simulations serve as a digital learning medium that enables the interactive visualization of electrical phenomena, thereby allowing students to explore concepts and conduct virtual experiments. This study conducted a systematic literature review to examine the integration of PhET in static electricity instruction and its impact on developing students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills. A literature search was performed across Google Scholar, ERIC, and ScienceDirect for publications spanning 2015–2025, resulting in 21 selected articles for qualitative analysis. The findings indicate that the utilization of PhET enhances conceptual understanding of static electricity, critical thinking abilities, problem-solving skills, and student engagement in learning. The interactive visualizations within PhET correlate with improvements in the critical thinking dimensions of analysis, evaluation, and inference, as well as the problem-solving stages of understanding the problem, devising strategies, and evaluating solutions. These findings confirm that PhET Interactive Simulations can serve as an effective alternative learning medium to support the development of higher-order thinking skills in abstract physics topics.

Abstract

The demands of 21st-century education require students to possess higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) to deeply and critically understand concepts in facing the complexities of the modern world. This study aims to systematically review the relationship between critical thinking skills and students’ concept mastery through a systematic literature review (SLR). The method involved selecting and analyzing ten relevant journal articles published within the last ten years. The findings indicate that critical thinking skills play a significant role in enhancing students’ concept mastery. Furthermore, innovative learning strategies such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Concept Mapping, and Virtual Laboratory were consistently found effective in developing both variables. These strategies improve students’ abilities in analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, thereby strengthening comprehensive conceptual understanding. This review provides important implications for educators and curriculum developers to integrate learning approaches that stimulate critical thinking skills to achieve optimal concept mastery in the context of 21st-century education.
