Abstract

This study aims to reconstruct physics concepts embedded in the Sasak Arak-arakan besunat tradition using praje into formal physics knowledge as a contextual ethnoscience-based learning resource supporting SDG 4 (Quality Education). The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnographic-ethnoscience approach. Data was collected through interviews, observations and documentation and scientific verification involving traditional leaders, praje craftsmen and parents in East Lombok. The data were analyzed through data reduction, identification of indigenous knowledge, scientific verification and reconstruction into school science concepts. The findings show that the tradition contains several contextual physics concepts, including Newton’s Laws, center of mass and dynamic equilibrium in maintaining praje stability, work and changes in potential and kinetic energy during lifting activities, impulse and momentum in drumstick collisions on gendang beleq, sound resonance in traditional musical instruments and uniform as well as accelerated motion during the procession. These concepts are empirically applied in community practices and can be scientifically reconstructed into formal physics learning concepts. The integration of indigenous knowledge has the potential to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and cultural literacy through contextual learning experiences.

Abstract

The demands of 21st-century education require students to possess higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) to deeply and critically understand concepts in facing the complexities of the modern world. This study aims to systematically review the relationship between critical thinking skills and students’ concept mastery through a systematic literature review (SLR). The method involved selecting and analyzing ten relevant journal articles published within the last ten years. The findings indicate that critical thinking skills play a significant role in enhancing students’ concept mastery. Furthermore, innovative learning strategies such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Concept Mapping, and Virtual Laboratory were consistently found effective in developing both variables. These strategies improve students’ abilities in analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, thereby strengthening comprehensive conceptual understanding. This review provides important implications for educators and curriculum developers to integrate learning approaches that stimulate critical thinking skills to achieve optimal concept mastery in the context of 21st-century education.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum is the latest curriculum developed by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology to provide more flexible learning, competency-oriented instruction, and character development through the Pancasila Student Profile. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum on essential science materials at SMPN 1 Gerung, focusing on three aspects: lesson planning, learning implementation, and learning evaluation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews involving three science teachers who actively implement the Merdeka Curriculum at the school. The results indicate that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at SMPN 1 Gerung has been carried out effectively. Teachers have prepared teaching modules based on learning outcomes and implemented contextual learning activities through simple project-based learning. Despite limited laboratory facilities and learning resources, teachers demonstrated adaptive strategies by utilizing simple materials, contextual experiments, and digital resources to support learning activities. The findings also show that teachers prioritize essential science materials based on Learning Outcomes (CP) to ensure conceptual understanding and scientific process skills development. Overall, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum shows positive progress; however, strengthening teacher competence and providing sustainable training and facilities remain necessary.
