Abstract

Basic Science learning requires practicum modules that facilitate systematic, structured, and learning-outcome-oriented experimental experiences. However, the modules used so far have not fully met the aspects of independent learning, clarity of work steps, and integration between concepts and practice. This study aims to develop experiment-based practicum modules for Basic Biology, Basic Physics, and Basic Chemistry using the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The development stage involved validation by five experts, namely experts in biology, physics, chemistry, media, and language, as well as student response tests. The data analysis method used in this study was descriptive quantitative analysis, involving calculating percentages of validation scores and student responses, which were then interpreted against predetermined validity criteria. The validation results showed a highly valid category across almost all aspects, with 88–93% in material validation, 88–95% in media validation, and 81% in student responses. The student response test involved 25 respondents, who were selected to assess the practicality and usability of the developed practicum module. Revisions were made based on validator input, such as improving image quality, refining language, and standardizing the practicum structure. Overall, the developed module was deemed feasible and effective as teaching material to support Basic Science practicum learning. This study also recommends further development through the integration of interactive digital media and trials on a larger scale. Keywords: development, experimental modules, basic science

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in renewable energy learning, requiring evidence-based analysis, evaluation, and informed decision-making. This study aimed to enhance students’ critical thinking skills through an Interactive E-Module on Renewable Energy Using Augmented Reality (IMOREAR). The study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 30 high school students (12 male and 18 female students aged 15–16 years) in Garut, West Java. The intervention was conducted over four meetings using project-based learning supported by AR-based visualization and renewable energy prototyping activities. The research instrument consisted of 15 contextual multiple-choice items developed based on domain-specific critical thinking indicators. Data was analyzed using Rasch modeling to estimate students’ ability measures in logits. The results indicated a significant improvement (p < 0.001), with the average logit score increasing from -1.20 to 0.46 and an effect size of 1.64 (large). These findings suggest that IMOREAR enhances students’ critical thinking skills, underscoring its value in fostering 21st-century skills. Keywords: augmented reality, renewable energy, critical thinking skills, project-based learning, Rasch analysis

Abstract

The Flipped Classroom (FC) model has gained increasing attention in chemistry education as an innovative approach to address challenges related to low conceptual understanding, limited student engagement, and the need to develop higher-order thinking skills. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework to systematically identify, screen, and synthesize relevant studies published between 2016 and 2026. A total of 31 peer-reviewed articles were selected and analyzed using thematic synthesis and cross-study comparative analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of FC implementation in chemistry education. The findings indicate that the FC model generally has a positive impact on students' competencies across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The cognitive domain shows the greatest improvement, particularly in conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and higher-order thinking skills. In the affective domain, FC enhances students' motivation, engagement, and self-confidence, while in the psychomotor domain, it supports the development of laboratory skills, experimental procedures, and inquiry-based practices. The implementation of FC is most prevalent in general and organic chemistry but has increasingly expanded into other sub-disciplines, including physical chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, and laboratory-based learning. However, the effectiveness of FC is highly context-dependent and influenced by factors such as instructional design quality, technological accessibility, and students' readiness for self-directed learning. Several studies also report inconsistent findings and highlight limitations, including the predominance of short-term research designs and the lack of evidence regarding long-term learning retention. Overall, the FC model demonstrates strong potential to enhance the quality of chemistry education. Nevertheless, its successful implementation requires careful alignment between pre-class materials, in-class activities, and assessment strategies. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies and more inclusive educational contexts to strengthen the evidence base for sustainable and scalable FC practices.

Abstract

This study aims to map and analyze research trends in technology-integrated problem-based learning (PBL) for physics problem-solving from 2015 to 2025. A quantitative bibliometric design was employed using the Scopus database as the primary data source. An initial search identified 49,401 documents, which were filtered using the PRISMA framework based on relevance, publication year, and screening criteria, yielding 154 publications for the final analysis. Data were analyzed using VOSviewer to examine publication trends, document types, subject areas, country contributions, and keyword co-occurrence networks. Additionally, the ten most highly cited articles were narratively reviewed to identify dominant research directions. The findings reveal a significant increase in publications, particularly in the last two years, indicating rapid growth in this field. Network and overlay visualizations show that problem-solving occupies a central position and is strongly connected to machine learning, deep learning, and intelligent learning systems. At the same time, PBL remains an emerging and less dominant theme. These findings indicate that although research on educational technologies in physics learning is rapidly expanding, the integration of Problem-Based Learning remains limited, highlighting an underexplored intersection between technological advancement and pedagogical implementation in physics education. The study concludes that this gap represents a key direction for future research in strengthening technology-integrated Problem-Based Learning to enhance students’ physics problem-solving skills.
