Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is increasingly recognized as a transformative pedagogical model that addresses the evolving demands of 21st-century science education. This article presents a comprehensive literature-based analysis of the definition, instructional framework, practical implementation, advantages, and challenges of PjBL, particularly in the context of science learning. PjBL emphasizes student-centered, inquiry-driven learning experiences that are grounded in real-world problems, promoting not only academic achievement but also the development of higher-order thinking skills, collaboration, creativity, and scientific literacy. Through a structured instructional syntax involving driving questions, project planning, collaborative execution, presentation, and reflection, PjBL fosters meaningful engagement and active participation among learners. Case studies across educational levels demonstrate its adaptability and effectiveness in enhancing students' scientific reasoning and real-life application. Despite notable challenges such as resource limitations, time constraints, and the need for teacher preparedness, the benefits of PjBL in fostering deep, interdisciplinary learning and student agency are significant. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of strategic planning, ongoing teacher training, and institutional support to ensure the successful integration of PjBL into science curricula. Overall, PjBL offers a promising pathway for cultivating innovative, reflective, and socially responsible learners capable of addressing complex global challenges.

Abstract

Science education for toddlers is crucial in building early scientific understanding and fostering curiosity. However, several challenges persist in its implementation, such as teaching methods that are not well-suited to early childhood characteristics, limited exploratory facilities, and a lack of understanding among parents and educators regarding effective teaching strategies. This study analyzes various approaches that can be used to teach science to toddlers effectively and engagingly. The methods discussed include inquiry-based learning, hands-on activities, sensory exploration, construction play, and nature observation. Additionally, connecting science with daily life is an essential strategy to help children understand the relevance of scientific knowledge in the real world. The analysis results indicate that exploration-based and hands-on learning approaches enhance children's understanding of scientific concepts more effectively than traditional instructional methods. The active role of parents and educators in guiding children, providing reflective questions, and creating a supportive learning environment significantly influences learning success. With the right strategies, children grasp scientific concepts and develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and an early love for science.

Abstract

This study examines the reconstruction of community knowledge into scientific knowledge related to ecotourism in Lemor Botanical Garden and Lemor Spring Tourism. The local community possesses a profound understanding of the conservation and ecological functions of these areas; however, a gap remains between local wisdom and scientific concepts. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the community recognizes Lemor Botanical Garden as a center for the conservation of rare plant species, an educational site, and an environment-based ecotourism destination. Meanwhile, Lemor Spring Tourism is believed to offer health benefits and spiritual value, some of which can be scientifically explained through the mineral composition of the water and its balanced ecosystem. Certain traditional aspects, such as customary rituals and beliefs in misfortune, are more symbolic than scientifically grounded. The reconstruction of this knowledge is crucial for enhancing the sustainable management of these areas, optimizing the scientific potential of ecotourism, and improving community welfare through a conservation and sustainable tourism approach. Thus, the synergy between science and local wisdom can strengthen more effective and sustainable management strategies for both areas.
