Abstract

Curriculum changes that adapt to current developments often create new obstacles in the implementation of learning. This study aims to analyze the problems and challenges in the implementation of the Natural Sciences (IPA) curriculum in Indonesia through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method and bibliometric analysis. Twenty-three scientific articles published between 2021 and 2025 were analyzed using the Publish or Perish (PoP) tool for bibliographic data collection and VOSviewer for research network map visualization. The analysis results show a significant increase in publications from 2024 to 2025, indicating that the Independent Curriculum topic is currently a primary focus of science education research. Keyword mapping resulted in three main clusters: difficulties for teachers and students in understanding and implementing Independent Curriculum-based science learning, challenges in implementing the Independent Curriculum and the role of science teachers, and contextual issues such as limited facilities, low scientific literacy, and the integration of local wisdom. The study also identified a research gap regarding the effectiveness of the Independent Curriculum in improving science literacy and student character. Therefore, improving teacher curriculum literacy, cross-institutional research collaboration, and strengthening science learning based on technology and local wisdom are needed to achieve contextual and modern learning.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of a STEM-based teaching module  Project Based Learning (PjBL) through a project to build a Mini Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTAM) from used materials and to analyze students' learning experiences in science learning. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach with a descriptive study design conducted at SMPN 1 Cilengkrang. The research procedure included the stages of problem orientation, project planning, prototyping, testing, and reflection. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, documentation, and analysis of student projects. Data analysis was carried out using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, and its validity was tested through triangulation of sources and techniques. The results showed that the implementation of the STEM-PjBL teaching module took place systematically through five project stages. Project activities encouraged active student involvement, collaborative work, and the integration of elements of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Students demonstrated a better understanding of the principles of converting water energy into electrical energy. The use of used materials increased students' creativity and environmental awareness. The questionnaire data showed a very positive response, with an average score above 4.2 and a percentage of agree/strongly agree reaching 83.3%-100%. The implementation of the STEM-PjBL teaching module through the hydropower project using recycled materials was able to create more contextual, meaningful, and student-centered science learning, and is worthy of being used as an innovative alternative in renewable energy learning in junior high schools.
