Abstract

The development of digital technology has brought significant transformation in education, particularly in science learning, which requires visualization and direct experiences to understand abstract concepts. This study aims to describe the role of digital technology in improving the quality of science learning through an analysis of various studies related to interactive media, digital simulations, AR/VR, virtual laboratories, and digital literacy. This study employed a narrative review approach by examining relevant scientific articles obtained from Google Scholar. The articles were analyzed based on the type of technology used, the purpose of implementation, and their impact on science learning outcomes. The results indicate that digital technologies such as PhET simulations, interactive multimedia, gamification applications, AR/VR, and virtual laboratories consistently improve conceptual understanding, learning motivation, student engagement, and scientific literacy. Digital technology also helps overcome the limitations of conventional learning through the visualization of abstract concepts and more immersive learning experiences. However, its implementation still faces challenges, including limited device availability, internet access, and teacher readiness. Overall, digital technology has great potential to strengthen the effectiveness of science learning when supported by teacher competence and adequate infrastructure.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the development of a beach edutourism-based practicum model to enhance senior high school students’ science process skills and chemical literacy. The method used in this study is a systematic literature review (SLR) by analyzing scientific articles published between 2016 and 2025. Data were collected from Google Scholar and ScienceDirect using relevant keywords and were selected according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicate that context-based and environmental learning approaches, such as outdoor learning, project-based learning, and problem-based learning, are effective in enhancing students’ chemical literacy, science process skills, and critical thinking abilities. Furthermore, the use of coastal natural phenomena as learning resources provides more authentic and meaningful learning experiences. In particular, the characteristics of Pink Beach, including its calcium carbonate-rich sand, offer relevant contextual examples for chemistry learning, especially in colloid systems. The beach edutourism-based practicum model enables the integration of chemical concepts with real-life contexts, making learning more relevant and engaging. Therefore, this model has strong potential as an innovative approach in chemistry education to meet the demands of 21st-century learning. Further research is needed to empirically test the effectiveness of this model in real classroom settings.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of integrating ethnoscience, local wisdom, and e-modules based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to improve students' critical thinking skills and scientific literacy. This research is highly urgent due to the limited comprehensive synthesis regarding the integration of these three specific components in modern 21st-century science education. The method used is a literature review of 20 relevant scientific articles. The synthesis results clearly show that this integration contributes significantly to learning outcomes. Ethnoscience effectively bridges modern science with local knowledge to make learning contextual. The PjBL model trains higher-order thinking skills through investigation and projects. Meanwhile, e-modules successfully strengthen independent learning interactively and flexibly. The synergy of these three components is proven to increase student engagement, understanding, analysis, and evaluation. However, success remains influenced by teacher readiness, resource availability, and student autonomy. This study provides a vital theoretical contribution toward relevant science learning innovations for the future.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the trends, characteristics, and effectiveness of developing local wisdom-based e-modules in improving students’ scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. The method used was a systematic literature review by examining 15 articles obtained from Google Scholar, ERIC, and DOAJ databases within the 2016–2025 period. The selection process followed the stages of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. Data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach by synthesizing findings based on research methods, study focus, and main results. The findings indicate that most studies employed Research and Development (R&D) and experimental methods. Local wisdom-based e-modules are proven effective in enhancing scientific literacy and critical thinking skills through contextual, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences. The integration of local wisdom makes learning more relevant and increases student engagement. However, most studies still focus on a single aspect of ability and rarely integrate both skills simultaneously. Therefore, further research is needed to develop more innovative and comprehensive e-modules to simultaneously improve scientific literacy and critical thinking skills.
