Abstract

Pre-service teachers (PSTs) are expected to have the ability to engage in mitigating various ecological difficulties in the future thanks to their abilities in critical analysis. Critical thinking (CT) is influenced by various factors. However, not much in-depth research has been conducted on CT skills in previous studies. This study evaluated PSTs’ CT abilities based on GPA, gender, and grade level. In this quantitative descriptive research, 265 PSTs from various institutions in Java, Indonesia participated. An ecological essay test was used to collect data, and descriptive statistics and the Kruskal Wallis test were used to analyze the data. The results showed that PSTs' CT skills were in the medium category ( = 45.12), with the interpretation component getting the highest score ( = 51.64) and the inference aspect getting the lowest score ( = 33.96). The findings of this study also showed statistically significant differences in CT skills based on GPA, gender, and grade level. Better CT skills are found in PSTs who have a high GPA, are female, and are in 5th grade. This finding may have an impact on improving lecture programs so that PSTs' CT skills improve more effectively.

Abstract

Indonesian students' scientific literacy competence remains below the international average, partly due to teachers' limited optimization in training this competence during the learning process. This study aimed to develop a Problem Based Learning (PBL)-based e-module to facilitate students' scientific literacy competence on the topic of excretory system disorders due to imbalanced nutritional intake, and to examine its feasibility and practicality. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the 4D model, limited to the Develop stage. The e-module was tested at a public junior secondary school in Malang City through validation, practicality, and readability tests. Data were analyzed using Likert and Guttman scales, as well as Inter-Rater Agreement (IRA). Validation by two experts yielded an average score of 93.36% (highly feasible), while practicality testing by four science teachers produced 99.8% (highly feasible). Readability testing among 35 students resulted in 88.76% (highly feasible). IRA results showed agreement levels of 100% for the alignment between learning activities and PBL syntax, and 88.88% for alignment with scientific literacy competence. These findings indicate that the developed PBL-based e-module is feasible and practical for facilitating students' scientific literacy competence on the topic of excretory system disorders due to imbalanced nutritional intake.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of Wordwall as an interactive learning medium in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning at the primary school level. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design to identify, screen, and synthesize relevant studies published between 2020 and 2025. Articles were retrieved from several academic databases, including Google Scholar, SINTA, DOAJ, and ResearchGate, using the Publish or Perish software. The selection process was conducted based on predefined inclusion criteria focusing on empirical studies related to Wordwall implementation in primary education. A total of 20 studies met the eligibility criteria and were further analyzed. In addition to qualitative synthesis, bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer was conducted to visualize keyword co-occurrence, thematic clusters, and research trends. The findings indicate that most of the reviewed studies report positive associations between the use of Wordwall and increased student motivation, engagement, and conceptual understanding in science-related subjects. However, variations in research design, sample characteristics, and outcome measures were observed across studies. Therefore, the conclusions drawn in this review are limited to the patterns identified in the selected literature. Overall, the results suggest that Wordwall has potential as an interactive digital medium to support primary science learning, while further rigorous empirical studies are recommended to strengthen the evidence base.

Abstract

Integrating visual elements into high-stakes science examinations requires balancing instructional scaffolding with cognitive load optimization. This study investigates the structural and functional topography of visual representations by conducting a total population content analysis of Singapore Primary School Leaving Examination Science papers across a three-year longitudinal window from 2023 to 2025. The examined corpus evaluated every visual representation deployed across all 120 multiple-choice and short-answer test items (NMCQ=84; NSAQ=36). Guided by Cognitive Load Theory and Mayer’s Coherence Principle, 134 extracted visual units were classified across four typologies (Representational, Abstract, Data-Driven, Relational) and three functional levels (Essential, Supporting, Decorative). A critical baseline finding for item designers was the absolute absence of decorative visuals (0.00%), with 97.01% (n=130) categorized as functionally essential for problem-solving, validating a construct-driven approach to assessment layout. A Pearson’s Chi-Square Test of Independence revealed that the deployment of visual types is significantly dependent on the specific scientific theme (chi2(12)=26.76, p=0.0084), with the Cycles thematic block capturing 100% of all relational process graphics. Longitudinal analysis revealed an intentional formatting shift. While multiple-choice visual density halved over three years (from 39 down to 19 elements), representational visuals within short-answer items nearly doubled (from 6 to 11). This trajectory reveals an evolutionary transition away from utilizing graphics as analytical data puzzles toward deploying them as generative contextual scaffolds for written explanations. These findings offer item writers concrete benchmarks for optimizing cognitive processing and construct validity in international STEM testing environments.
