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

Science concept mastery is an important aspect of learning because it plays a crucial role in enhancing students’ ability to understand and apply scientific knowledge. However, in practice, science concept mastery remains a common challenge due to the dominance of conventional, teacher-centered instructional approaches. This study aims to examine various learning models used to improve students’ science concept mastery, identify the most dominant learning model, and analyze the distribution of research based on educational level, science subject matter, and the dependent variables investigated. The research employed a literature review method involving 16 national and international journal articles published between 2016 and 2025, analyzed using the PRISMA approach. The findings indicate that guided inquiry is the most widely implemented learning model and demonstrates consistent effectiveness, particularly in physics and integrated science learning at the senior high school level. In addition, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) serve as effective supporting models in connecting science concepts to real-life contexts and fostering higher-order thinking skills. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing inquiry-oriented and student-centered learning models to enhance students’ mastery of science concepts.
