Abstract

This study aims to critically review the integration of African Indigenous Knowledge (AIK) into the science curriculum as a strategy to decolonise science education in Africa. Using a literature review method, the paper synthesises insights from 20 peer-reviewed journal articles, three edited book chapters, one bibliography, one conference proceeding, and one public lecture, published between 2018 and 2023. The findings reveal that integrating AIK into science education enhances cultural relevance, increases student engagement, and uncovers the scientific potential historically suppressed by the dominance of Western knowledge systems and language barriers. The paper proposes the Integrated Indigenous Knowledge Science Education (IIKSE) curriculum framework and emphasises the importance of teaching science in African Indigenous languages. This research implies the need for comprehensive teacher training, interdisciplinary curriculum development, and collaborative engagement with Indigenous communities. Such efforts are essential to build an inclusive, sustainable, and contextually meaningful science education system that empowers African students and promotes the recognition of local knowledge systems.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the development of a STEM-PjBL-based e-module (electronic module) designed to improve students' understanding of the nature of science (NoS) in the topics of the properties of objects and changes in the form of objects. The urgency of this study lies in the limited availability of interactive digital teaching materials that use real-life science concepts. The STEM-PjBL-based e-module was developed using the Plomp Model, which consists of three stages: initial investigation, design and development, and evaluation. The research results indicate that this e-module is highly valid (86.12%), highly practical (96.68% according to teachers and 95.06% according to students), and highly effective with an N-gain score of 0.72. The findings suggest that STEM-PjBL-based e-modules can significantly build learners' NoS and support innovative technology-integrated learning in primary schools. These results imply that integrating STEM-PjBL in digital modules offers a promising approach to enhance scientific understanding while enriching teaching practices with relevant, student-centred, contextualized content.

Abstract

This phenomenological study investigates mathematics academic anxiety and pedagogical anxiety among pre-service elementary school teachers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, questionnaires, and observations involving pre-service teachers in teaching practice. The findings reveal that most participants experience high to very high levels of anxiety, both as mathematics learners and as future educators. Academic anxiety is more dominant, often manifesting as negative thoughts, overthinking, and avoidance behaviors, while pedagogical anxiety is slightly lower due to a greater sense of control during teaching practice. The sources of anxiety are multifaceted, including internal factors such as lack of confidence and negative past experiences, as well as external pressures from the educational environment. These results highlight the urgent need for systematic interventions in teacher education programs, such as anxiety management training, self-efficacy workshops, and supportive learning environments, better to prepare pre-service teachers for the challenges of mathematics instruction. Despite its contributions, the study is limited by its cross-sectional design and focus on a single institution. Future research should consider longitudinal approaches and broader samples. Addressing mathematics anxiety among pre-service teachers is crucial for developing confident and competent mathematics educators, ultimately improving the quality of mathematics learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

Creative thinking is a crucial skill that involves generating and synthesizing new ideas by analyzing existing concepts and transforming them into innovative solutions. This ability is particularly important in education, where students must apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. However, not all students possess strong creative thinking skills. This study aims to analyze the creative thinking abilities of Biology Education students at UIN Raden Intan Lampung, focusing on 2021. The study evaluates students' creative thinking skills using Torrance's indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that Biology Education students fall under the "quite creative" category. Specifically, fluency scored 57%, flexibility 48%, originality 43%, and elaboration 47%, all classified as "quite creative". The results suggest that while students demonstrate moderate creative thinking skills, there is room for improvement. Educators should integrate pedagogical strategies that enhance creativity, such as problem-based learning and open-ended assignments, to foster higher-level creative thinking in biology education. This study highlights the need for further targeted interventions to develop students' creative potential.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate a selected element of mathematical knowledge intended for teaching in Indonesian schools, namely the concept of sets. The evaluation assesses whether the information conveyed the criteria of knowledge that is Justified, True, and Believed (JTB). This research follows a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research involves 250 students and nine teachers from two different schools. The collected data was analyzed using the Constant Comparative Method (CCM) as the data analysis model. The study's findings reveal that beliefs with truth value only relate to interpreting sets as a well-defined collection of objects. However, teachers and students cannot prove their beliefs and cannot interpret well-defined as an individual's ability to determine a property P. Thus, the belief about sets as a well-defined collection of objects is merely doxa or true belief. This study emphasizes the importance of mathematics education in fostering justified true belief through a focus on critical thinking and conceptual justification, thereby minimizing the occurrence of the Zone of Concept Image Difference (ZCID) between teachers and students.

Abstract

This study identifies the values embedded in the local wisdom of the Jolotundo Temple’s Ruwat Petirtaan tradition and integrates them into biology learning within the Merdeka curriculum. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, using interviews and observations, and analyzed through triangulation and inductive approaches with an emphasis on meaning over generalization. Findings indicate that the tradition embodies gratitude for the abundance of water and natural resources across the preparation, implementation, and closing stages. It functions as a form of environmental conservation. This local wisdom can be integrated into Phase E Biology content, particularly biodiversity and conservation, ecosystems, and environmental change. The results serve as a reference for developing teaching materials, modules, student worksheets, project assignments, and assessment items, while also encouraging the incorporating of local wisdom into policies, conservation programs, and educational practices that are contextual, participatory, and sustainable. The implication is that cross-stakeholder commitment through school–community collaboration and continuous evaluation is required to ensure tangible impacts on learning, environmental stewardship, and the strengthening of cultural identity.

Abstract

Scientific argumentation is a critical 21st-century skill that must be systematically integrated into science education, particularly physics. However, current classroom assessments rarely comprehensively and in-depth measure students’ argumentation skills. This study aims to analyze the need to develop a multi-representation assessment instrument supported by the Thunkable application to evaluate students’ scientific argumentation skills on static fluid concepts. A mixed-method approach with an embedded sequential design was employed. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires administered to 34 physics teachers and 97 eleventh-grade students from several high schools in Lampung Province, Indonesia. Besides, qualitative data were obtained through open-ended responses to explore classroom learning experiences and assessment practices further. The findings reveal that 91% of teachers reported difficulties in assessing argumentation skills, while 94% of students faced challenges in connecting static fluid concepts across different representations. The use of multi-representation tasks in assessments was found to be limited. Nevertheless, teachers and students expressed strong interest in using interactive digital assessment tools. These findings highlight the strategic opportunity to develop a Thunkable-assisted, multi-representation-based assessment instrument that addresses teachers’ and students’ needs and improves assessment practices in physics education by promoting meaningful learning and scientific argumentation.
