Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates vocational teachers' perceptions of artificial intelligence and computational thinking integration in Indonesian secondary education. Seven vocational high school teachers from West Java Province participated through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis following artificial intelligence training. The study employed an interactive analysis model to examine teachers' attitudes, concerns, and implementation strategies regarding artificial intelligence in educational contexts. Findings reveal positive teacher perceptions of artificial intelligence as a learning support tool, with applications ranging from creative media production to technical programming assistance. However, significant ethical and pedagogical concerns emerged, including academic integrity challenges, potential student dependency, inadequate prompt engineering skills, and risks of learning dehumanization. Teachers developed sophisticated guidance strategies, positioning artificial intelligence as a verification tool while maintaining human agency in learning processes. Supporting factors included personal initiative and professional learning communities, while barriers encompassed limited infrastructure, absence of formal guidelines, and varied digital competencies. The research contributes to understanding artificial intelligence adoption challenges in Indonesian vocational education and provides insights for implementing artificial intelligence skills curriculum policy. Results of the research are: (1) educators acknowledge significant advantages of AI integration, especially in improving technical learning experiences and promoting innovative educational endeavors, the integration of AI and computational thinking in the learning process must also prioritize the appropriate pattern aspects and requires clear guidance from stakeholders so that it can be implemented in the learning process; (2)  ethical and pedagogical issues arise as significant obstacles, encompassing abuses of academic integrity, threats of student dependency, insufficient prompt engineering skills, and the potential dehumanization of learning experiences; (3) educators demonstrate significant adaptability by formulating advanced guiding systems that utilize AI as a verification and support mechanism while maintaining human agency in educational decision-making.

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.

Abstract

This bibliometric study maps and evaluates the publication landscape on inquiry-based physics learning that intersects with mobile applications, multiple intelligences (MI), and local wisdom, with attention to implications for scientific literacy. Scopus records were retrieved using a TITLE-ABS-KEY search and processed following PRISMA 2020 and PRISMA-S. The screening window was restricted to 2020–2025, English-language, final-status documents, and journal articles or conference papers/proceedings. From 138,162 initially identified records, 362 remained after year and subject filtering; 305 met eligibility criteria, and 99 unique documents were included after DOI/title deduplication (full flow and exclusion reasons are reported in the PRISMA diagram and accompanying table). Performance analysis (annual output, sources, authors, countries, and subject areas) and science mapping (co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, co-citation, and bibliographic coupling) were conducted using Bibliometrix/Biblioshiny and visualized in VOSviewer with association-strength normalization and full versus fractional counting sensitivity checks. Results show a publication peak in 2020, a decline across 2021–2023, and a rebound in 2024. Conference proceedings dominate the corpus (≈91%), with Journal of Physics: Conference Series contributing nearly two-thirds of documents. Indonesia is the leading contributor by affiliation and country; Physics and Astronomy accounts for ≈48–49% of subject assignments, followed by Engineering (≈14%) and Computer Science (≈12%). Keyword networks center on “students” and “education computing,” while MI and scientific literacy occur infrequently and local wisdom appears peripheral, indicating an early-stage, technology-driven field. Limitation: the Physics subject-area filter likely underrepresents education-journal studies where MI and literacy are more explicitly operationalized. Future work should prioritize journal-level designs, validated scientific-literacy measures, and transparent term normalization and counting schemes.

Abstract

Children’s social behavior in female migrant-worker families is shaped by how fathers reorganize caregiving, supervision, and everyday educational practices after maternal migration. However, previous research has more often emphasized the general consequences of parental migration than the class-sensitive pattern of paternal strategies used to guide children’s social behavior. This study, therefore, examined paternal educational strategies for children’s social behavior in female migrant-worker families across socioeconomic groups. The study used a qualitative descriptive design with purposive sampling and involved six fathers in Langgudu Sub-district, Bima Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show three interconnected strategies: role modeling, disciplinary education, and educational advice. In upper-socioeconomic families, fathers showed visible moral-religious role modeling and more structured daily discipline, but advice was often delivered in a harsh tone. In middle-socioeconomic families, fathers showed weaker direct role modeling and less structured discipline, while advice tended to be given gradually through verbal guidance. In lower-socioeconomic families, fathers showed strong work- and community-based role modeling, but discipline and advice were more reactive because work demands reduced supervision and routine consistency. These findings indicate that father involvement in migrant-worker families should be understood not only in terms of presence, but also in terms of the form, tone, and consistency of paternal educational practices. The study implies that schools, communities, and migrant-family support programs should strengthen constructive father engagement, routine-based caregiving, and nonviolent communication in left-behind families.

Abstract

This study examined short-term anthropometric changes associated with locally based supplementary feeding among stunted children aged 6–59 months at Meninting Health Center, West Lombok. The feeding package consisted of mung bean porridge (100 g), egg biscuits (50 g), and sweet potato bars (50 g), providing approximately 350–450 kcal and 12–16 g protein per child per day. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, 50 stunted children underwent anthropometric assessment at baseline, week 4, and week 8, with weekly monitoring of body weight and body height. Primary outcomes were weight, height, weight-for-age z-score (WAZ), height-for-age z-score (HAZ), and weight-for-height z-score (WHZ). Adherence was high, with 90.0% of participants consuming at least 80% of the planned feeding days. Body weight increased significantly at week 4 (mean difference = 0.15 kg, 95% CI [0.10, 0.20], p < .001) and week 8 (mean difference = 0.48 kg, 95% CI [0.39, 0.56], p < .001). WHZ improved significantly at week 4 (mean difference = 0.08, 95% CI [0.01, 0.15], p = .022) and week 8 (mean difference = 0.29, 95% CI [0.18, 0.40], p < .001), whereas WAZ improved significantly only at week 8 (mean difference = 0.23, 95% CI [0.16, 0.31], p < .001). HAZ did not show a statistically significant change during follow-up. These findings suggest that locally based supplementary feeding was associated with short-term improvement in weight-related anthropometric outcomes, while improvement in linear growth was limited during the observation period. The high adherence observed in this study also supports the feasibility of delivering locally based supplementary feeding through routine community health services.

Abstract

Student research programs in Madrasah Aliyah (MA) have been developed to strengthen scientific literacy and higher-order thinking skills, yet the quality of student research outputs remains uneven. This study examined the effects of student characteristics, school environment, and learning process on perceived student research quality, while also testing the mediating role of learning process. A quantitative associative-predictive design was employed involving 67 students from MAN IC Lombok Timur who had conducted research. Data were collected through a five-point Likert questionnaire and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results showed that student characteristics had the strongest positive effect on perceived research quality (β = 0.611; p < 0.001), followed by school environment (β = 0.310; p = 0.018). School environment also significantly predicted learning process (β = 0.673; p < 0.001), whereas learning process did not significantly affect perceived research quality (β = −0.001; p = 0.994) and did not mediate the effects of the two predictors. These findings indicate that students’ academic self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, self-regulation, and supportive school climate are associated with higher perceived research quality. At the same time, the non-significant role of learning process suggests that general classroom practices may not adequately capture the research-specific mentoring needed to support student research. The findings should be interpreted in light of the study’s self-reported and cross-sectional design.

Abstract

The December 2021 eruption of Mount Semeru caused massive ecological damage, initiating primary succession across landscapes buried by volcanic material. While satellite monitoring provides macro-scale trends, the micro-scale spatiotemporal dynamics and specific topographic drivers of early recovery remain poorly understood. This study quantifies the rate of vegetation recovery and statistically evaluates its micro-topographic constraints. We conducted a time-series analysis using ultra-high-resolution (2.7 cm/pixel) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) RGB imagery acquired in 2022, 2023, and 2025 across a 127.08-hectare Area of Interest within Volcanic Hazard Zone III. Vegetation cover was extracted using the Excess Green (ExG) index with dynamic Otsu thresholding, validated by rigorous accuracy assessments (Overall Accuracy: 89%–95%). A 3-bit spatial coding logic tracked pixel-level successional trajectories, while topographic controls were evaluated using a non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test based on spatial random sampling. The results revealed a net vegetation recovery rate of +1.88 hectares/year, forming concentrated succession islands. Crucially, statistical analysis confirmed that micro-topographic slope acts as the primary abiotic control (p < 0.001); pioneer vegetation preferentially colonized steeper slopes (mean 43.20°) that offer structural refuge from active lahar flows, whereas flatter depositional beds (mean 23.64°) remained largely barren. Conversely, elevation (~798 masl) showed no significant correlation (p = 0.68), indicating that secondary fluvial disturbances override broad altitudinal gradients within this active corridor. This study demonstrates a validated, reproducible UAV framework for high-precision ecological monitoring, providing fundamental insights for targeted post-eruption restoration strategies.
