Abstract

In the era of rapidly evolving educational paradigms, critical thinking and problem-solving abilities have become essential competencies for 21st-century learners. However, few studies in the Indonesian elementary context have triangulated data from classroom observations, teacher interviews, and questionnaires to provide empirical evidence of how Problem-Based Learning (PBL) enhances these skills. This study examined the association between PBL and students’ behavioral indicators of critical thinking and problem-solving at Muhammadiyah 4 Batu Elementary School. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research involved three Grade 5 classes (5A, 5B, 5C; comprising a total of 87 students) and three teachers, spanning six PBL sessions over one semester. Data were collected through classroom observations, teacher and student interviews, and questionnaire surveys to capture the holistic dynamics of PBL in classroom practice. The observation rubric assessed four behavioral indicators—responsibility, confidence, initiative, and discipline—as proxies of critical thinking and problem-solving competence. The results reveal that PBL is associated with higher levels of engagement, curiosity, and analytical reasoning through structured problem scenarios that require collaboration and inquiry. Quantitative findings showed that class 5C achieved the highest responsibility (83.9%), confidence (87.4%), and discipline (86.2%), while class 5A demonstrated the strongest initiative (79.3%). Teachers’ interviews confirmed that consistent application of the five PBL stages—problem orientation, inquiry, design, presentation, and reflection—coincided with stronger behavioral outcomes. These findings suggest that PBL supports metacognition, self-regulation, and reflective learning aligned with Indonesia’s Kurikulum Merdeka. The study contributes new evidence on elementary-level PBL implementation by integrating validated behavioral rubrics, teacher perspectives, and classroom artifacts within a single descriptive framework.

Abstract

This study investigates the predictive effect of gender and cognitive style on junior high school students’ mastery of the Pythagorean Theorem. A quantitative ex post facto design was applied to 71 eighth-grade students who had previously learned this topic. Mastery was measured using a five-item conceptual test, with a mastery threshold of 72% or higher, based on curriculum competency standards, expert judgment, and assessment guidelines. Gender (0 = female; 1 = male) and cognitive style (0 = FD; 1 = FI) were assessed using the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT). Binary logistic regression was employed. Model fit was satisfactory (Hosmer–Lemeshow p = .473), accuracy = 85.9%, and pseudo-R² (Nagelkerke) = 0.671. Cognitive style significantly predicted mastery (OR = 93.62, 95% CI = [10.64, 823.80], p < .001), while gender did not reach significance (OR = 4.12, 95% CI = [0.92, 18.42], p = .064). Findings highlight the need for adaptive learning strategies tailored to students’ cognitive style. Future studies should include additional predictors (e.g., motivation, instructional support) and apply calibration and cross-validation techniques to enhance prediction generalizability.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a learning aid for the topic of parabolic motion based on air pressure, using a modified 4D development model reduced to 3D. The parabolic motion teaching aids commonly used in schools generally employ manual spring-based launchers, which make it difficult to control the launch velocity. Therefore, this research developed an air pressure-based teaching aid that allows for the adjustment of variables such as launch angle, initial velocity, pressure, maximum height, maximum range, and flight time. The research was limited to the development stage (limited trials) without proceeding to the dissemination phase. The validity of the device was assessed by five validators, consisting of four lecturers and one teacher. The effectiveness of the device was evaluated using response questionnaires administered to 18 students and one physics teacher from Grade XI at SMA Plus Muhammadiyah Merauke in the 2023/2024 academic year. The validity test results showed an average score of 81.2 (81.2%), categorized as very valid, with a minimum validity threshold of 61%. The validation instrument consisted of 20 items. The effectiveness test based on teacher responses yielded a score of 56.72 (76%), categorized as effective, obtained from 10 questionnaire items. Meanwhile, student responses resulted in a score of 43 (86%), categorized as very effective, obtained from 15 questionnaire items. The learning outcome test, consisting of 15 questions, showed an average score of 83.3, with 94% of students achieving scores above the minimum mastery criterion (MMC = 70). Therefore, the air pressure-based parabolic motion teaching aid developed in this study is proven to be highly valid, effective, and feasible for use as a learning medium in teaching parabolic motion.

Abstract

Traditional chemical engineering education faces persistent challenges, as lecture-based instruction and limited laboratory access restrict students’ engagement, practical skill development, and comprehension of complex engineering concepts. In overcoming these challenges, immersive virtual reality (VR) learning environments are increasingly being adopted to enhance students’ visualization, interactivity, and experiential learning. Therefore, this study aims to explore how VR can transform chemical engineering education by enhancing student engagement, conceptual understanding, and practical learning experiences. This review also analyzed and mapped research trends in the application of VR for immersive learning in chemical engineering education using keywords like ''Immersive Learning'', ''Virtual Reality'', ''Chemical Engineering'' and ''Chemical Engineering Education''. Accordingly, the keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed four thematic clusters linked to immersive visualisation, collaborative VR learning, VR–AI integration, and safety-oriented training. Based on these findings, a four-stage curriculum integration model is proposed (pre-conceptual familiarisation - immersive experimentation - hybrid transfer - real-lab validation). A comparative cost analysis indicates that although VR-based learning demands a higher upfront investment, it achieves cost parity within approximately 1.5 years and reduces total training expenses by about 40–45% in the third year, offering greater economic advantage for larger student cohorts. Finally, the synthesis indicates that VR can enhance conceptual understanding, hazard-awareness, and systems-level reasoning while improving utilisation efficiency in laboratory-intensive programmes. Future research should prioritise controlled cohort comparisons and longitudinal verification of transferability to physical plant behaviour.
