Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the critical-collaborative learning model (CCLM), which integrates socioscientific issues within a problem-based learning framework, on enhancing the critical thinking skills (CTS) of pre-service physics teachers. A quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups was employed, with 26 students in the experimental group and 27 students in the control group. The experimental group, which engaged in project-based learning activities centered on real-world issues such as climate change and energy crises, demonstrated significant improvements in CTS, as measured by the Rasch model. The pretest mean logit for the experimental group was 125.25 (SD = 72.24), and after the intervention, the posttest mean logit was 77.69 (SD = 3.87), showing a significant improvement with a gain of -47.56. In contrast, the control group showed a smaller change, with a pretest mean logit of 66.92 (SD = 45.28) and a posttest mean logit of 50.23 (SD = 80.57), resulting in a smaller gain of -16.68. The findings suggest that incorporating collaborative and socioscientific elements into the learning process fosters deeper engagement and higher-order thinking. This study contributes to the body of research supporting constructivist-based and collaborative learning approaches, offering valuable insights into their application in science education. Further investigation into the long-term effects of such models across diverse educational contexts is recommended

Abstract

The development of critical thinking skills is a key objective in 21st-century science education, particularly in learning contexts involving complex environmental issues. However, students’ critical thinking abilities remain relatively low due to the dominance of teacher-centered instructional practices. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Auditory, Intellectually, and Repetition (AIR) learning model in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills in environmental change and conservation learning, as well as to analyze differences based on gender. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest design was employed, involving 73 tenth-grade students divided into experimental and control classes. Data were collected using an essay-based critical thinking test developed based on Ennis’ indicators, including interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and explanation. The results indicate that students in the experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores (M = 88.19) and N-Gain (g = 0.72, high category) compared to the control group (M = 60.88; g = 0.21, low category). Improvement was observed across all critical thinking indicators, with the highest gains in advanced clarification and basic skill development. Two-way ANOVA results reveal that the instructional model has a significant effect on students’ critical thinking skills (p < 0.05), while gender and the interaction between model and gender are not statistically significant. These findings demonstrate that the AIR model is effective and inclusive for both male and female students. The study implies that integrating active, discussion-based, and reinforcement-oriented learning models with environmental contexts can enhance students’ higher-order thinking and support meaningful engagement with sustainability issues.

Abstract

Students’ self-confidence is a crucial affective factor in science learning because it influences their willingness to express ideas, make decisions, participate in discussions, and communicate scientific reasoning. However, preliminary observations in biology learning indicated that students’ self-confidence in the topic of plant tissue structure and function remained low, particularly in relation to belief in their own ability, independence in decision-making, positive self-concept, persistence, and courage to express opinions. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Mordiscvein learning model on students’ self-confidence in learning plant tissue structure and function. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed using a nonequivalent control group design. The participants were 66 eleventh-grade students at SMA Perintis 2 Bandar Lampung, consisting of 34 students in the experimental class taught using the Mordiscvein learning model and 32 students in the control class taught using Discovery Learning. Data were collected using a structured self-confidence questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, an independent sample t-test, and effect size analysis. The results showed that the experimental class achieved a higher mean posttest score (86.50%) and N-Gain score (61.10%) than the control class, which obtained a mean posttest score of 67.25% and an N-Gain score of 39.44%. The independent sample t-test indicated a significant difference between the two groups, with t = 3.561, df = 52.418, and Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.001. The Cohen’s d value of 0.86 further indicated a large effect size. These findings demonstrate that the Mordiscvein learning model significantly improves students’ self-confidence in biology learning. The structured stages of Mordiscvein, including Opening Surprise, hypothesis construction, data publication, fact determination, and conclusion building, provide students with repeated opportunities to communicate, make decisions, collaborate, and express scientific ideas confidently. This study implies that Mordiscvein can be used as an alternative student-centered learning model to strengthen affective engagement and self-confidence in science education.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of an economic ecobrick program conducted by community service students (KKN) in Sumur Batu Village, Teluk Betung Utara District, Bandar Lampung. The program aimed to reduce plastic waste while fostering community empowerment through creative and environmentally friendly activities. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through. Interviews, observations, and documentation during a 30-day period of engagement. The findings show that community participation, particularly from local women’s groups (PKK), was highly enthusiastic. Several creative products were successfully produced, including keychains, headbands, and decorative mirrors made from household plastic waste, as well as compact ecobrick bottles that served as simple building prototypes. Environmentally, the program contributed to reducing plastic waste and raising community awareness about sustainable waste management. Economically, the products demonstrated initial potential as marketable items, although their development remained limited by the availability of raw materials and variations in product design. In conclusion, the ecobrick program not only functioned as a solution for plastic waste management but also as a means of fostering local creative economy initiatives. The program’s sustainability requires continued support from community organizations and local government
