Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as a transformative pedagogical approach in science education, fostering student-centered learning through real-world problem-solving, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary inquiry. Unlike traditional lecture-based methods, PBL encourages active engagement, collaboration, and the application of scientific knowledge in meaningful contexts. Despite its benefits, challenges such as resource limitations, curriculum misalignment, inadequate teacher training, and ineffective assessment strategies hinder its widespread adoption. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive literature review on the implementation of PBL in science education, evaluating its impact on student learning, identifying key challenges, and exploring strategies to enhance its effectiveness. A systematic literature review methodology was employed, drawing from peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and scholarly books published over the past two decades. Thematic analysis was used to categorize findings, focusing on areas such as student engagement, critical thinking, interdisciplinary learning, and instructional barriers. The review highlights that PBL significantly improves students’ comprehension and retention of scientific concepts while fostering scientific literacy and collaborative problem-solving skills. However, successful implementation requires institutional support, well-trained educators, and innovative assessment methods aligned with PBL’s inquiry-based nature. Key strategies for enhancing PBL include increased resource allocation, better curriculum integration, professional development for teachers, and the use of technology-driven tools to facilitate interactive learning. Future research should investigate long-term impacts of PBL, its adaptability in digital and hybrid learning environments, and its effectiveness across different STEM disciplines. By addressing these challenges and refining implementation strategies, PBL can continue to serve as a powerful approach for preparing students with the scientific competencies and problem-solving abilities needed in the 21st century. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on PBL and offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to optimize science education through inquiry-driven, student-centered learning methodologies.

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.

Abstract

The 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results depict a significant decline in the academic performance of Indonesian 15-year-olds in mathematics, reading, and science. The results position Indonesia's scores among the lowest since the country first participation in 2001. This editorial examines the implications of these results, drawing on data presented in PISA 2022, which illustrate the downward trend in performance and the widening gap between different socioeconomic groups. It argues for urgent educational reforms aimed at overhauling the current curricular frameworks, enhancing teacher training, and ensuring equitable educational opportunities. Specific strategies to achieve these goals include implementing the Merdeka Curriculum to promote student-centered learning, integrating educational neuroscience-based interventions to address learning disabilities, and leveraging intelligent tutoring systems and social media for collaborative learning. Additionally, developing localized assessments like the Indonesian Madrasah Competency Assessment and the Assessment of Indonesian Student Competence ensures alignment with international standards while addressing local needs. Through a comparative analysis with OECD averages and higher-performing nations, this piece highlights the necessity for Indonesia to adopt international best practices while tailoring them to local contexts. The ultimate goal is to equip Indonesian students with the skills necessary to meet both current and future challenges, thus improving their outcomes in subsequent PISA assessments and fostering national development. This article calls on policymakers, educational leaders, and stakeholders to engage in a concerted effort to address these educational deficiencies with the seriousness they deserve.
