Abstract

This study aims to develop a physics teaching module based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on Temperature and Heat for 11th grade high school students, integrated with deep learning principles and PhET virtual practicums, to enhance critical thinking skills. Due to time and resource constraints, only the first three phases of the 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop) were implemented. Three experts in content, media/design, and curriculumvalidated the module. Ten Grade 11 students from SMA PGRI Gelumbang participated in a small-group trial to assess practicality. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with the HEOS % formula. The module achieved an average validity score of 96.58%, classified as Very Valid, confirming alignment with curriculum standards and scientific accuracy. Practicality scores ranged from 83% to 90%, falling in the Practical to Very Practical category, indicating students found the module engaging, understandable, and feasible within classroom constraints. The integration of PhET simulations significantly reduced barriers to understanding abstract concepts like heat capacity and energy transfer. The module’s structure supports student-centered learning and can be adapted to diverse learning contexts. By embedding contextualized problems and deep learning strategies, it effectively fosters conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking. The high validity and practicality scores collectively demonstrate that the PBL-integrated module is both technically robust and pedagogically effective for improving critical thinking in thermal physics education. Keywords: Problem based learning, deep learning, temperature and heat, PhET virtual labs, 4-D model, critical thinking.

Abstract

This study investigates junior high school science teachers’ conceptualizations of deep learning within the context of Indonesian educational reform. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from 39 science teachers in Cirebon through open-ended questionnaires and analyzed thematically using Atlas.ti. The results reveal that teachers define deep learning as a holistic process that integrates cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions, emphasizing student-centeredness, collaboration, and meaningful learning. Teachers further articulated key principles of deep learning, including contextualization, critical and creative reasoning, innovation, independence, joyful and mindful learning, ethical awareness, and the ability to connect science concepts to real-life situations. The implementation of deep learning was characterized by project-based learning, authentic tasks, collaborative practices, backward design, and supportive classroom environments. However, teachers reported challenges such as limited resources, unequal technological access, time constraints, and diverse student readiness, indicating the complexity of translating deep learning into practice. To address these issues, teachers highlighted the need for systematic supports including sustained professional training, mentoring, peer observation, and high-quality instructional modules. The study contributes theoretically by clarifying teacher perspectives on deep learning and practically by offering recommendations for professional development and policy directions to strengthen deep learning in Indonesian science education.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of metacognitive strategies, STEM elements, creativity, and Assessment as Learning (AaL) within the Pancasila Student Profile Project (P5) teaching materials in Indonesia’s Kurikulum Merdeka. Utilizing a qualitative design, the research involved rubric-based analysis of 32 P5 modules and semi-structured interviews with 10 teachers from urban and rural schools. Findings revealed that while the modules address themes of sustainability, they remain narrowly focused and exhibit moderate integration of ESD (1.3), creativity (0.5), STEM (1.6), and metacognitive scaffolding (1.3). The materials often lacked open-ended problem-solving, project-based design, and reflective prompts essential for fostering creativity and self-regulated learning. Triangulated data showed consistency between module analysis and teacher perspectives, highlighting gaps in problem-action alignment and superficial STEM applications. Thematic analysis also identified limited teacher familiarity with AaL and STEM-PjBL, reinforcing the need for targeted professional development. The study concludes that strengthening teacher capacity, scaffolding inquiry-based strategies, and revising assessment frameworks are critical to enhancing the transformational potential of P5 for 21st-century learning.

Abstract

Scientific argumentation skills are essential competencies in 21st-century learning, which not only reflect students' critical and analytical thinking abilities, but also become the foundation for evidence-based decision-making. In the context of science learning, the integration of STEM approaches is believed to be able to strengthen students' ability to build and evaluate scientific arguments in more depth. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) on various STEM-based learning media and approaches used to improve students' argumentation skills. The review process was carried out by following the PRISMA 2020 protocol, including searching articles from reputable databases such as Scopus, SpringerLink, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria include articles published between 2015 to 2025, indexed by scopus Q1-Q4, explicitly mentioning argumentation skills, and being in the context of STEM education. Out of a total of 277 articles identified, 40 articles were selected for further analysis. The results of the study revealed that approaches such as argument-driven inquiry (ADI), project-based learning (PjBL), socioscientific issues (SSI), and engineering design process (EDP), have consistently proven to be effective in improving the quality of students' arguments. Learning media such as digital scaffolding, interactive simulations, argumentative worksheets, and argument mapping are widely used to support the critical thinking process and argument structuring. In addition, real-issue based learning and experimental activities show a positive impact on students' ability to structure claims, reasons, and evidence in a structured manner. This study makes an important contribution in directing the development of STEM learning designs that explicitly support the strengthening of scientific argumentation skills. The practical implications of this study include the need for teacher training, the integration of argumentation rubrics in assessments, as well as the development of adaptive digital learning media.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent challenge of improving students’ higher-order thinking skills in physics, particularly critical thinking and graphical representation abilities, which remain relatively low in Indonesian high schools. To overcome this issue, a guided inquiry-based e-book integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) was developed and tested within the domain of thermodynamics. The research employed the ADDIE model, encompassing analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages, to ensure the systematic construction of the product. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was applied with three groups: (1) guided inquiry-based e-book assisted by AR, (2) guided inquiry-based e-book without AR, and (3) conventional PowerPoint-based instruction. The product was validated by subject matter experts and practitioners, who confirmed its feasibility across material, media, and design aspects. Student responses indicated that the developed e-book was practical and engaging for classroom use. Effectiveness testing was conducted with 90 students using MANOVA, supported by prerequisite tests for normality, homogeneity, and multicollinearity. The results revealed significant improvements in both critical thinking and graphical representation skills, with the AR-assisted e-book outperforming the other instructional methods and achieving a moderate effect size. These findings highlight the pedagogical potential of integrating AR into guided inquiry-based e-books to foster interactive, student-centered learning environments. Furthermore, the study suggests that such innovations may serve as an effective alternative to traditional physics teaching methods and could be adapted for other physics topics beyond thermodynamics.
