Abstract

The results of the pre-study showed that the self confidence of students in class XII MIPA MAN Lumajang was relatively low, as students tend to be shy about asking questions and expressing their opinions due to monotonous learning models and media. Through the Quantum Learning model, students’ persistence and courage will grow in interpreting difficult biology material such as genetics. Student active participation will also be supported by Nearpod features. The purpose of this study was to determine the significant effect of Quantum Learning model assisted by nearpod on self-confidence. The research approach was quantitative with a quasi experimental design. The research design uses a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design with Mann Whitney U-Test data analysis technique. The results showed that the experimental class's self-confidence obtained a mean questionnaire score of 90.27, which was higher than the control class's score of 74.69. The Mann Whitney U-Test results from the posttest obtained a Sig. value of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that there was a significant effect of the Nearpod-assisted Quantum Learning model on students' self-confidence.

Abstract

One of Nigeria's biggest challenges is achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, which calls for providing inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all even with onboarding of Artificial Intelligence. This study investigates how psychological factors influence student success in biology, an important scientific field. The study considered three research questions using non experimental research design of correlational approach, conducted with 400 senior secondary school students from Oyo State, Nigeria. Four instrument used are: Biology Interest Scale (BIS) with α=0.91, Anxiety Traits Inventory (ATI) α=0.74, Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) α=0.87 and Biology Achievement Test (BAT) with 0.80. Result revealed a high link between biology achievement and motivation (r = .187, p < .01), interest (r = .253, p < .01), and anxiety (r = - 0.272, p < .01). Moreover, there was significant effect (F(3, 396) = 16.748, p < 0.001) between variables. Students that were enthusiastic performed better, (β= 0.058, F(3, 396)=.556), indicates no statistically significant effects despite the positive relationship between achievement scores and motivation. In order to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which calls for inclusive and equitable quality education, affective elements that affect the participation of learners in biology, such as anxiety and interest, must be addressed. Supportive learning environments that prioritize understanding, curiosity, and personal development should be created by educators and policymakers. Integrating real-world biological applications into the curriculum can further enhance the subject’s relevance to everyday life and future careers, thereby sustaining students’ motivation and interest in biology.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by problem-based worksheets on the learning outcomes and cognitive abilities of students in the motion system subject in class XI at SMA Negeri 1 Bahorok in the 2025/2026 academic year. This quasi-experimental study with a pretest and posttest control group design involved 72 students selected through simple random sampling. Class XI-1, as the experimental group, received PBL learning assisted by problem-based worksheets, while class XI-3, as the control group, received direct learning (lectures). The results of the study showed an increase. The average score increased from 37.31 to 72.78 in the experimental class (61.11% mastery) and from 41.11 to 55.00 in the control class (19.44% mastery). Overall, the N-Gain of the experimental class was g = 0.57 (57%, moderate), higher than that of the control class, g = 0.23 (23%, low). At the C4-C6 cognitive level, the experimental class showed N-Gain C4 = 0.60 (60%, moderate), C5 = 0.51 (51%, moderate), and C6 = 0.70 (70%, high)—consistently exceeding the control class (C4 = 0.30; C5 = 0.16; C6 = 0.09). Thus, the application of PBL assisted by problem-based LKPD had a positive effect on the learning outcomes and cognitive abilities of students.

Abstract

Scientific literacy is a crucial competency in the 21st century, particularly in understanding scientific issues, evaluating associated risks and benefits, and making decisions based on scientific reasoning. However, the level of scientific literacy among students in Indonesia, including those at SMAN 6 Semarang, remains relatively low. Two psychological factors suspected to influence this condition are self-efficacy and science anxiety. This study aims to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy, science anxiety, and students’ scientific literacy. The research employed a non-experimental quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample was selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through tests and questionnaires: the self-efficacy questionnaire was developed based on indicators by Bosscher and Smit (1998), the science anxiety questionnaire was adapted from the Abbreviated Science Anxiety Scale (ASAS) by Megreya et al. (2021), and the scientific literacy test items were constructed based on the 2025 PISA indicators. Data analysis included Pearson correlation, multiple correlation, and multiple linear regression. The results showed a significant relationship between self-efficacy and scientific literacy (p = 0.027; r = 0.174; contribution = 3%). Science anxiety also showed a significant relationship (p = 0.027; r = 0.173; contribution = 3%). Simultaneously, both variables significantly correlated with scientific literacy (p = 0.001; R = 0.281), contributing 6.7%, although the strength of the relationship was weak.

Abstract

The 21st century is characterized by rapid advancements in science and technology, making critical thinking an essential competency for students. Preliminary research at SMA Negeri 1 Limbangan revealed that 69.44% of students were in the very low category of critical thinking, with an average score of only 20%. This issue is attributed to teacher-centered learning and conventional instructional materials that provide minimal opportunities for analytical activities. This study aims to develop an Electronic Student Worksheet (E-LKPD) based on the Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) model for biology learning, evaluate the validity of the product, and analyze students’ responses. A Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) was employed, focusing on the Develop stage, involving 36 Grade X students. Expert validation, including material, media, instructional methodology, critical thinking, and biology teachers, showed high validity (average >90%). A small-scale trial revealed positive student responses with an average score of 90.4%, indicating high readability and practicality. The findings demonstrate that the SSCS-based E-LKPD effectively enhances students’ critical thinking, facilitates inquiry-based learning, and bridges the gap between conventional learning materials and 21st-century competency needs. This study underscores the necessity of innovative digital instructional tools that integrate critical thinking models to prepare students for global challenges.
