Abstract

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)-Based Science learning is important for strengthening students’ scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. This study aims to analyze ESD-based science learning conducted by teachers affiliated with the Surakarta City’s Subject Teacher Forum (MGMP) for Natural Science. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The sample used in this research consisted of 25 teachers affiliated with the Surakarta City’s MGMP for Natural Science. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis technique used is Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis method. The results of research show that the majority of teachers understand the concept of ESD, are able to design contextual learning, and facilitate reflective activities and projects relevant to sustainability issues. Learning encourages the students to think critically, discuss, and develop scientific literacy in an applied manner. However, challenges are still encountered in teaching material preparation and limited learning resources. This study emphasizes the urgency of training, policy support, and institutional synergy to strengthen the sustainability of ESD implementation in Natural Science education.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a science e-module that integrates drag-and-drop interactions with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model to improve scientific literacy and problem-solving skills among seventh-grade junior high school students studying ecosystem topics. The low science literacy achievement of Indonesian students in PISA surveys and the predominantly procedural nature of their problem-solving abilities serve as the primary background of this research. Development was carried out using the Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4D approach—Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate—and the product's effectiveness was tested using a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design involving 32 seventh-grade students at MTsN 2 Karanganyar. Instruments used included subject-matter and media expert validation sheets, science literacy and problem-solving skills tests, and a student response questionnaire; content validity was established using Aiken's V (0.85–0.90), and reliability using Cronbach's Alpha (0.81–0.88). Validation results showed that the e-module received feasibility scores of 87.4% from subject matter experts and 89.1% from media experts, placing it in the "very feasible" category. Paired-sample t-tests yielded t(31) = 12.47, p < 0.001 for scientific literacy (N-Gain = 0.67, medium category) and t(31) = 14.83, p < 0.001 for problem-solving skills (N-Gain = 0.72, high category), with large effect sizes (Cohen's d = 2.20 and 2.62, respectively). Student responses to the e-module reached 91.3%, indicating a very positive reception. Thus, the drag-and-drop science e-module with the PBL model has been proven content-valid, reliable, and effective in improving scientific literacy and problem-solving skills among junior high school students.
