Abstract

This study investigates how the philosophy of science contributes to enhancing students’ critical thinking skills, focusing on its three foundational dimensions: ontology, epistemology, and axiology. While previous research has widely examined strategies for teaching critical thinking and the use of philosophical perspective in education, limited attention has been given to integrating these three philosophical dimensions into a single analytical framework for science education. To address this gap, a systematic literature review was conducted using academic journal articles, books, and empirical studies related to philosophical inquiry and critical thinking development. The findings show that ontological perspectives encourage students to question the nature of scientific reality and examine underlying assumptions, while epistemological insights help them understand how knowledge is constructed and justified, thereby strengthening analytical and reflective thinking. Axiological considerations further support students in recognizing the ethical and value-laden aspects of scientific inquiry, which guide them toward responsible and well-reasoned judgments. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative framework that unifies ontology, epistemology, and axiology to explain how philosophical literacy can systematically foster critical thinking in science education. This contribution provides a conceptual foundation for designing instructional approaches that explicitly incorporate philosophical inquiry to enhance students’ critical thinking abilities.

Abstract

This article aim to explain the heritage tourism is widely recognized as a driver of regional economic growth, limited research has examined how historical tourism clusters reshape the daily livelihoods of micro-entrepreneurs in secondary heritage cities. This study investigates how heritage tourism transforms the local economy surrounding four major landmarks in Bukittinggi, Indonesia: Jam Gadang plaza, the Birth House of Bung Hatta, Fort de Kock, and the Lobang Jepang tunnel. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study interviewes twelve key informants—including street vendors, craft merchants, local guides, and tourism officials—and combined these narratives with field observations and documentary analysis. The thematic findings reveal that the local tourism economy depends on a symbiotic relationship between formal institutional regulation and informal grassroots trade. Local residents gradually shifted from unstable low-wage labor into tourism-related services, generating higher but highly seasonal incomes. The transformation is further accelerated by the adoption of digital payment systems such as Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS). This study introduces the Hybrid-Formal-Informal Tourism Economy Model to explain how informal micro-vendors survive and adapt within institutional heritage spaces. The findings contribute to contempary debates on inclusive urban tourism governance in secondary heritage cities. The study concludes that municipal governments must implement balanced  zoning policies that protect informal livelihoods while preserving the visual and physical authenticity of heritage monuments from commercial overcrowding.
