Abstract

Critical thinking disposition is an essential 21st-century competency in science classrooms, as scientific inquiry requires students to analyze evidence, make observations, and draw conclusions. Students’ understanding of scientific concepts may be influenced by their learning styles—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic—which shape how they process and engage with scientific information. This study aimed to describe students’ critical thinking dispositions, analyze differences based on learning styles, and examine the relationship between the two variables. A quantitative approach was employed, using descriptive and correlational research designs. The research subjects consisted of 31 students from grades VII, VIII, and IX at SMPN 1 Arjasa, selected via simple random sampling. Research instruments included questionnaires on critical thinking disposition and learning styles, each comprising 15 Likert-scale items. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlational analysis in SPSS version 27. The results show that students’ critical thinking dispositions fall within the high category, and that students demonstrate relatively balanced preferences across visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. A strong positive relationship was found between learning styles and critical thinking disposition (r = 0.758, p < 0.001). These findings highlight the need for science instruction that incorporates differentiated and multi-modal inquiry approaches to accommodate students’ learning style tendencies and foster the development of critical thinking dispositions.

Abstract

Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are essential to students’ motor development and serve as the foundation for participation in various physical activities. However, physical education learning in many junior high schools still relies on teacher-centered instruction and repetitive technical drills, which often limit students’ active engagement and meaningful movement experiences. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a game-based learning approach in improving students’ fundamental movement skills in physical education classes. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The participants were 30 seventh-grade students aged 12–13 years from a public junior high school. The intervention was conducted over four weeks with eight learning sessions using structured game-based activities designed to stimulate locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative movements. Fundamental movement skills were assessed using a modified movement skill test adapted for junior high school students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-sample t-test to determine differences between pretest and posttest scores. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ fundamental movement skills after the implementation of the game-based learning approach (p < .001). Improvements were observed across locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative movement components. In addition to motor improvement, students demonstrated higher participation and engagement during physical education lessons. These findings suggest that game-based learning can provide meaningful movement experiences and effectively support the development of fundamental movement skills among junior high school students. Therefore, integrating game-based activities into physical education lessons is recommended to enhance both motor competence and student engagement.

Abstract

Scientific literacy in the context of global warming remains a persistent challenge in science learning, particularly in students’ ability to interpret data and use evidence for decision-making in real-world contexts. This study aimed to examine the effect of a SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society)-oriented Guided Inquiry Learning model supported by infographic-based multimedia on students’ scientific literacy. The research was conducted at SMP Negeri 52 Surabaya with 30 seventh-grade students during the 2025/2026 academic year on the topic of global warming. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed to investigate changes in students’ scientific literacy before and after the implementation of the learning model. The intervention was carried out over four weeks in eight instructional sessions. Data were collected through validated multiple-choice and essay-based pretests and posttests and were analyzed using N-Gain and paired-samples t-test. The results indicated a statistically significant improvement in students’ scientific literacy (p < .05) with an average N-gain of 0.53 (medium category). These findings suggest that integrating SETS-oriented guided inquiry learning with infographic-based multimedia can enhance students’ engagement and support the development of scientific literacy, particularly in understanding complex environmental issues such as global warming.

Abstract

This study evaluates the sound attenuation capabilities of four wood-based materials under realistic noise conditions. An experimental approach using a simple, non-standardized test method was conducted in a small-scale chamber, where each material was alternately installed as a barrier. Sound sources included motorcycle horns, falling objects, woodworking machines, and music. Sound intensity was measured using a sound level meter, and each treatment was repeated three times. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The results showed that all tested materials significantly reduced sound intensity compared to the control (P < 0.05), with the average sound intensity value ranging from 74.6 to 89.6 dB. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences among materials. In conclusion, wood-based materials demonstrate the ability to reduce sound intensity under practical noise conditions, with particle board showing the best performance, and solid wood showing the lowest performance. Although the method used is simple and not based on standardized acoustic testing, the results provide preliminary evidence of the potential of porous wood-based materials as sound-absorbing media.

Abstract

This study was conducted in response to the growing importance of scientific literacy as a key competence for students in the 21st century, particularly in relation to global challenges and evidence-based decision making. The research aims to analyze the presentation of scientific literacy in the Science and Technology textbook for Mattayom 3 Semester 2 used at Ban Kayae School, Narathiwat, Thailand, and to describe its strengths and limitations based on the OECD scientific literacy framework. A qualitative approach with content analysis design was employed. The unit of analysis included all chapters, learning activities, illustrations, and evaluation tasks in the textbook. Data were collected through documentation, checklist sheets based on three OECD competencies, and semi-structured interviews with two expert validators. Data were analyzed through coding, percentage calculation, and inter-rater agreement using Cohen’s Kappa. The results indicate that the textbook integrates the three core competencies of scientific literacy: explaining phenomena scientifically (35.1%), evaluating and designing scientific inquiry (32.4%), and interpreting data and evidence for decision making (32.2%), with relatively balanced distribution across chapters. Although certain chapters emphasize particular competencies, the book does not solely focus on conceptual knowledge but also incorporates inquiry and application aspects. The textbook is structurally aligned with OECD indicators and is considered worthy as a model for literacy-oriented science textbooks. Future development should strengthen authentic inquiry activities, contextual data analysis, and visual clarity to further enhance scientific literacy integration.
