Abstract

This study was intended to describe the improvement of students’ moral sensitivity and cognitive learning outcomes through the application of the Meaning Learning Model. The research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The population consisted of 70 seventh-grade students from two classes at SMP Negeri 1 Sidoarjo. A purposive sampling technique was used to select classes with below-average academic performance. Data were collected using pretests and posttests for both moral sensitivity and cognitive learning outcomes. The research instruments consisted of a moral sensitivity test and a cognitive learning outcomes test. Data were analyzed descriptively using the N-Gain formula to determine the improvement levels in moral sensitivity and cognitive learning outcomes. The analysis results showed that students’ moral sensitivity improvement was categorized as medium (39%) and low (61%), while cognitive learning outcomes were classified as high (7%), medium (54%), and low (38%). The overall moral sensitivity level was in the “sensitive” category (46%), and students’ cognitive performance predominantly reached the C4 domain (70%). In conclusion, the Meaning Learning Model contributed to an increase in students’ moral sensitivity within the low category and in cognitive learning outcomes within the medium category. Moreover, students’ moral sensitivity was classified as sensitive, and their cognitive achievements were primarily at the C4 level. Keywords: cognitive learning outcomes, meaningful learning model, moral sensitivity.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate an instrument for assessing creative thinking skills on the topic of temperature and heat among high school students. A quantitative research design was employed, with data analysis conducted using the Rasch model. The study involved 136 grade XI students from two high schools in West Bandung Regency, consisting of 51 male and 85 female participants. The Rasch analysis results indicated a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.78 (good) and an item reliability value of 0.97 (excellent). However, minor revisions are required in the wording of three items to improve linguistic clarity. The percentage distribution of creative thinking indicators was as follows: fluency (70.34%), flexibility (68.57%), originality (60.13%), and elaboration (61.76%). These findings reveal that students’ creative thinking is predominantly characterized by fluency, suggesting that they are relatively proficient at generating multiple ideas based on given problems, likely due to a good understanding of the material. Nevertheless, further instructional efforts are needed to foster higher levels of creative thinking, particularly in flexibility, originality, and elaborationKeywords: creative thinking skills test, temperature and heat concepts, rasch analysis

Abstract

Parijoto fruit (Medinilla speciosa), a characteristic plant from the slopes of Mount Muria, is traditionally believed to enhance fertility in pregnant women. This study aimed to examine the process of making parijoto syrup and relate it to scientific concepts. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews, field observations of syrup production, and literature review to explore the fruit’s composition and benefits. The research stages included preparation, primary data collection, and data analysis. Data were analyzed descriptively and comparatively, linking indigenous knowledge with principles of ethnoscience and ethnobotany. The investigation focused on community practices in syrup preparation, followed by verification, reconstruction, formulation, and conceptualization into scientific knowledge. From a scientific perspective, the syrup production process illustrates concepts such as classification of living organisms, elements and compounds, energy and work, simple machines, mixtures, temperature and heat, and energy transfer. Ethnobotanical findings show that the local community uses parijoto fruit and leaves for various medicinal purposes and fertility enhancement, with cultural beliefs attributing positive effects on offspring appearance. Integrating local knowledge with scientific learning provides opportunities to foster meaningful understanding and strengthen connections between education and regional natural potential.Keywords: parijoto plant, medinilla speciosa, ethnoscience, ethnobotanical, indigenous knowledge

Abstract

The development of science and technology is currently so rapid and has become an inevitable need. Religion through its noble books certainly has a lot of knowledge. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out scientific integration between science and Islam, in this case Al Qur’an and Hadith. However, there are pros and cons to this view. In accordance with the establishment of UIN Suska as an Islamic University that provides education based on Islamic values, the aim of this study is to support the integration of Islam in the science learning process so that it can increase our understanding of the concept of tawhid, not reverse. The research method developed was a literature review by collecting data from various sources, both books, journals, and scientific articles. The result of this study is a literature review of tawhid as a basis for the science development. Thereby, in this case, science goes hand in hand with Islamic understanding so that it can strengthen the faith and tawhid on mankind as signs of the Oneness and glory of Allah SWT.Keywords: Tawhid, Science, Knowledge, Islam

Abstract

education to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, abilities, and values necessary for personal development and societal contribution. This gave rise to the concept of education for sustainable development (ESD). Within this framework, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education is vital for preparing the younger generation to tackle societal challenges. Integrating ESD principles into STEM education is thus an effective approach to promote a sustainable future. This study aims to review existing empirical research on the implementation of STEM-ESD to explore various strategies for STEM-ESD learning. The PRISMA 2020 systematic literature review method was used, with Scopus as the primary database. Out of 160 collected articles, 20 met the criteria for thematic-qualitative analysis. This study finds that the strategies to integrate ESD into STEM education are: 1) Incorporating concepts of SDGs into STEM lessons, 2) Promoting hands-on activities and projects, 3) Designing real-world problems to apply STEM in addressing sustainability challenges, 4) Fostering partnerships with local communities, organizations, and industry stakeholders, and 5) Providing training and resources for educators to enhance their understanding of STEM-ESD teaching.Keywords: STEM education, Education for Sustainable Development, STEM-ESD, systematic literature review
