Abstract

The persistent issue of low critical thinking skills among students in physics education highlights the limitations of traditional teaching methods, which often emphasize memorization over analytical and evaluative thinking. This study investigates the impact of Case-Based Learning (CBL) on improving critical thinking skills, focusing on six indicators: interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation. Conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Kediri, Lombok, Indonesia, the study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental group received CBL instruction, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data collection involved written essay tests scored using a rubric adapted from the Ennis-Weir Critical Thinking Essay Test, with results analyzed through both descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive analysis calculated means, standard deviations, and normalized gains (n-gain), revealing significant improvements in the experimental group across all critical thinking indicators, with n-gain scores categorized as high. Inferential statistical analysis using paired and independent sample t-tests confirmed significant differences in critical thinking skill development between the experimental and control groups. The findings demonstrate that CBL fosters critical thinking by engaging students in real-world scenarios, promoting collaboration, and encouraging reflective reasoning. This study concludes that CBL is an effective pedagogical strategy for addressing critical thinking deficiencies in physics education, bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application. The implications suggest integrating CBL into curricula to enhance students’ cognitive skills, equipping them for academic and professional challenges. Future research should explore CBL’s long-term impacts and adaptability to various subjects and educational contexts, ensuring its broader implementation as a transformative teaching approach.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Ethno-Physics Learning on enhancing students’ critical thinking skills by integrating indigenous cultural knowledge into the physics curriculum. Traditional physics instruction, which often relies on rote memorization and passive learning, has been found insufficient in developing the analytical and problem-solving abilities necessary for both academic achievement and real-world applications. In contrast, Ethno-Physics Learning contextualizes abstract scientific concepts within culturally relevant frameworks, thereby fostering active inquiry and deeper cognitive engagement. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups, the research involved Grade 10 students from two classes. The experimental group received instruction on the topic of Work and Energy through Ethno-Physics Learning methods, while the control group experienced conventional lecture-based teaching. Both groups underwent pretesting and posttesting to assess their critical thinking skills across various dimensions, including analysis, inference, evaluation, explanation, and decision-making. Statistical analyses, incorporating tests for normality and homogeneity followed by paired samples t-tests, revealed that although improvements were noted in both groups, the experimental group exhibited significantly greater gains in critical thinking abilities. These findings suggest that integrating local ethnoscience into physics education not only makes scientific theories more accessible and meaningful but also cultivates the higher-order cognitive skills essential for effective problem-solving. The study highlights the transformative potential of Ethno-Physics Learning and recommends its incorporation into science curricula to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the science literacy profile of primary school students in learning Natural and Social Sciences. The study used a quantitative descriptive approach with 31 students as samples. The results showed that students' science literacy was in the very low to low category, especially in the aspects of procedural, epistemic, scientific competence and content knowledge. Inquiry-based learning is still limited and the lack of integration of local contexts in learning. The development of local wisdom-based teaching materials is needed to improve student understanding and engagement. This research recommends teacher training and community collaboration to utilize local cultural elements as a context for science learning. The findings make an important contribution in designing relevant innovative learning strategies to significantly improve students' science literacy.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of varying vegetable oil compositions (coconut, palm, and olive) on the physical and chemical qualities of solid soap, specifically in terms of hardness, cleansing ability, and moisture content. This study used a laboratory experiment with five soap formulas combining various vegetable oil compositions. The results showed that the formula with a combination of 60% coconut oil and 40% palm oil produced the soap with the highest hardness, while the formula with a combination of 60% coconut oil and 40% olive oil provided the best moisture content. The soap with a composition of 60% coconut oil and 40% palm oil also demonstrated better cleaning ability, thanks to the lauric acid content in coconut oil, which has antibacterial properties. This study recommends the use of a combination of coconut and palm oils to produce soap with the best quality in terms of hardness and cleansing ability, and coconut and olive oils for soap with greater skin moisturizing properties. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the development of the natural soap industry in Indonesia, reduce dependence on imported raw materials, and increase the competitiveness of natural soap products in the global market.

Abstract

This commentary examines Hulyadi et al. (2025), which reports that a project-based teaching factory (PbTF) model in a chemical cleaning industry context improved students’ soft skills and entrepreneurial intention over a short intervention. The article’s key contribution is practical: it operationalizes “teaching factory” as a sequenced learning design with validated tools and measurable outcomes. However, the strength of causal claims is limited by the one-group pretest–posttest design, a small cohort, and outcomes closely aligned with course activities. The observed gains may reflect increased opportunities to collaborate, assessment familiarity, or short-term motivational uplift rather than durable competence and entrepreneurial behavior. This commentary offers a cautious reading of the evidence, proposes alternative interpretations consistent with the reported data, and suggests evaluation steps that would clarify mechanisms, durability, and generalizability. PbTF-PjBL appears promising as an applied learning package, but stronger comparative and longitudinal evidence is needed before treating it as a robust impact model.

Abstract

Critical thinking is needed as a guarantee of student success in solving a problem, and critical thinking training starts from students' learning experiences when they are in school. It is believed that one's skills in critical thinking influence student success in a broader spectrum of learning outcomes. It's just that the facts on the ground show that students are less well-established in critical thinking in science learning, this is based on the results of observations on teaching relating to the phenomenon of momentum and impulse. Overcoming this, it is important to provide learning experiences for students to train their critical thinking skills. The current study aims to implement the discovery learning model on materials related to momentum and impulse phenomena, and evaluate its impact on students' critical thinking skills. Through experimentation (nonequivalent control group design) studies have been carried out by including a control group (traditional teaching) as a comparison. Students' critical thinking skills are measured using adequate instruments and have met the elements of validity. Study data were analyzed descriptively and statistically. The results of the study show that students' critical thinking skills have increased after learning using the discovery learning model. Based on the size of the pre-post test, students' critical thinking skills increased from quite critical to critical, the increase (gain) was in the moderate category. Unlike the case with traditional teaching, students' critical thinking skills remain with less critical criteria. The difference in the improvement of critical thinking between the two groups (discovery learning vs. traditional teaching) was statistically analyzed. The results of the analysis confirm the research hypothesis tested that there are significant differences in critical thinking skills between groups (discovery learning model vs. traditional teaching) in the material of momentum and impulse.
