Abstract

The growing dependence on fossil fuels has triggered environmental concerns, including greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil offers an environmentally friendly alternative that can be implemented through practical science activities. However, limited laboratory facilities often hinder its application in higher education. This study aims to analyze students’ perceptions of a biodiesel production experiment using low-cost equipment. A mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed. Quantitative data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires completed by 63 students from the “Energy in Life Systems” course, complemented by semi-structured interviews with 10 selected participants. The five dimensions assessed included conceptual understanding, ease of use, safety, engagement, and cost-efficiency. Results showed mean scores of 4.46 for conceptual understanding (very good), 4.37 for cost-efficiency (very good), 4.43 for safety (very good), 4.46 for engagement (very good), and 4.06 for ease of use (good). Qualitative findings reinforced that students found the practicum effective, safe, enjoyable, and aligned with real-world applications. In conclusion, the use of low-cost equipment in biodiesel practicum enhances meaningful and contextual science learning, especially in resource-limited educational settings. Therefore, low-cost equipment-based practicum is recommended to be integrated into the science education curriculum, particularly in the context of project-based learning and limited laboratory facilities. Key Words: biodiesel; low-cost equipment; practical learning; student perception; renewable energy

Abstract

Physics learning faces serious challenges as students perceive physics as a complex subject that is difficult to implement in daily life. This research aims to explore the local wisdom of fishermen in "Miyang" (fishing) activities in Tuban as a context for ethnoscience-based physics learning and Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) approach on heat transfer concepts. The research method uses a qualitative approach with observation, interview, documentation, and literature study techniques. The research subjects are fishermen who carry out Miyang activities in the coastal areas of Tuban Regency. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis through data reduction, triangulation, comparative analysis, description-interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that Tuban fishermen have accurate understanding of land breeze and sea breeze phenomena that align with the concept of heat transfer by convection. Fishermen utilize land breeze for journeys to the open sea at night and sea breeze for return trips during the day, demonstrating efficient utilization of natural energy. This traditional knowledge represents an example of indigenous knowledge that can be integrated into ethnoscience-based physics learning, providing authentic learning contexts that help students understand that physics concepts are integrated into daily life. This research successfully identified land breeze and sea breeze phenomena as complex Socio-Scientific Issues that combine scientific aspects with social dimensions. In conclusion, the local wisdom of Tuban fishermen has a strong scientific foundation and great potential as a source of contextual and meaningful ethnoscience-based physics learning.

Abstract

Motivasi belajar merupakan faktor penting dalam menentukan keberhasilan akademik siswa. Salah satu faktor eksternal yang berpengaruh adalah jarak tempuh menuju kampus yang dapat mempengaruhi waktu belajar, kondisi fisik, serta semangat belajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara jarak tempuh dan motivasi belajar mahasiswa Tadris Biologi IAIN Kerinci. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan instrumen berupa angket skala Likert empat pilihan yang terdiri dari 30 pernyataan. Subjek penelitian adalah mahasiswa semester 3, 5, dan 7 yang dipilih menggunakan purposive sampling. Variabel jarak tempuh dibagi dalam enam kategori (0–5 km hingga 26–30 km). Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan Microsoft Excel dan JASP. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara jarak tempuh dan motivasi belajar, dengan nilai korelasi (R) sebesar -0,9879. Artinya semakin jauh jarak tempat tinggal siswa dari kampus semakin rendah motivasi belajar yang dimiliki. Hal ini terutama disebabkan oleh kelelahan fisik, keterbatasan waktu, dan kurangnya akses terhadap lingkungan akademik. Dengan demikian jarak tempuh menjadi salah satu faktor yang perlu diperhatikan dalam upaya meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa.

Abstract

Academic heterogeneity among prospective elementary school teachers (PGSD/MI) often precipitates cognitive gaps in physics learning. A critical deficiency regarding Problem Solving Skills (PSS) is the students' inability to transform visual representations of problems into mathematical formulations, despite comprehending the narrative context. This study evaluates the effectiveness of integrating Reflective Journals and Collaborative Sharing to enhance PSS based on Docktor’s five indicators (Useful Description, Physics Approach, Specific Application, Mathematical Procedures, and Logical Progression) in the topic of motion dynamics. Involving 18 students from diverse academic backgrounds (natural sciences, social sciences, religious studies, and vocational schools), the intervention utilized independent logic scaffolding and peer procedural validation. Test results indicated a significant improvement, with average scores rising from 1.39 (Very Low) to 3.65 (Good). Specific findings revealed that reflective journals effectively restructured physics logic, while collaborative sharing corrected calculation inaccuracies—a persistent weakness among students from non-science backgrounds. Demonstrating the strategy's efficacy in bridging competency gaps, this study recommends developing a systematic learning model that integrates these two strategies to optimize and sustain students' PSS.

Abstract

This study aims to create interactive learning media using Google Classroom combined with the Project-based Learning (PjBL) model and formative assessment to improve the understanding of 11th-grade students about fluid dynamics. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with ADDIE steps, which consist of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results of the evaluation by experts showed that the media was highly valid, with a validity score of 90% from subject matter experts and 91.67% from media experts. A limited trial at SMA Negeri 2 Pare involved two classes: one experimental class that used the media, and one control class that did not use the media. Analysis results showed a significant difference between the learning outcomes of the two groups. The N-Gain calculation indicated a high increase in understanding in the experimental class (74%) and a low increase in the control class (30%). Google Classroom-based interactive media with PjBL and formative assessment has proven valid, practical, and effective in improving understanding of fluid dynamics concepts. Active student involvement in projects, Google Classroom access that can be done anywhere and anytime, and continuous teacher feedback to students are factors in improving understanding of fluid dynamics concepts. The use of this learning strategy is an alternative to support learning in the National Curriculum at the secondary school level.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between pre-services physics teachers’ views of experimental physics and the quality of their laboratory reports. A quantitative study with a descriptive and correlational design involving 26 pre-services physics teachers enrolled in a basic physics course focusing on kinematics experiments was conducted. The participants worked in small groups to design and conduct experiments, analyze the data, and write laboratory reports. The reports were assessed based on three indicators: systematics and completeness, content and conceptual depth, and writing style and neatness. Pre-service physics teachers’ views about experimental physics were measured using the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey for Experimental Physics (E-CLASS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation. The main finding shows that there is no significant correlation between E-CLASS scores and the laboratory reports quality. This indicates that favorable views about experimental physics do not necessarily translate into better performance in scientific reporting. These findings suggest a gap between epistemological beliefs and scientific communication skills, where understanding the nature of experimental physics does not automatically lead to the ability to express it effectively in written form. Therefore, laboratory instruction in teacher education programs should explicitly integrate support for experimental reasoning, data interpretation, and scientific writing, rather than emphasizing procedural completeness alone. Future research should involve larger and independent samples, apply individual-level assessment of laboratory performance, and examine instructional designs that intentionally connect epistemological development with experimental practice and scientific communication.

Abstract

This research is driven by the "knowledge-behavior gap" among students at MI Baipas Malang, where high environmental knowledge does not translate into real-world action. The study aims to conduct a need assessment for developing multimedia based on Ethno-Socioscientific Issues (Ethno-SSI) to enhance students' environmental awareness. Adopting the Analysis phase of the Lee and Owens model, this qualitative descriptive study used student questionnaires and teacher interviews. Findings show that students are visual-digital learners who require interactive content linked to Malang’s local wisdom, such as water spring preservation (punden). Although school technology is supportive, current materials lack socioscientific dilemmas to trigger critical thinking. In conclusion, developing Ethno-SSI multimedia is urgently needed to bridge the gap between understanding and action through cultural relevance and digital technology. This analysis serves as the foundation for the upcoming design and implementation stages. Key Words: Need analysis; Ethno-Socioscientific Issues; Multimedia; Environmental Awareness;

Abstract

Technology integration in primary education has become an essential aspect of improving learning quality and preparing students for the demands of the digital era. However, successful technology integration depends not only on the availability of digital resources but also on teachers’ competencies and the contextual factors that influence their implementation practices. This study aimed to explore primary school teachers’ competencies in integrating technology into classroom practice and to identify the factors influencing technology integration in primary education. A qualitative exploratory approach was employed, involving 15 participants consisting of primary school teachers from different generations, school principals, and school supervisors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the Gioia methodology, which involved developing first-order concepts, second-order themes, and aggregate dimensions. The findings revealed four dimensions of teacher competencies in technology integration: pedagogical competence, social competence, professional competence, and attitudes toward technology. These dimensions illustrate that technology integration extends beyond technical skills to encompass the ability to use technology for teaching, communication, professional development, and continuous adaptation to technological change. The study also identified three contextual factors influencing technology integration, namely institutional support, implementation barriers, and strategies for professional development. Institutional support, such as technological facilities and continuous training, facilitated technology integration, whereas limited resources, varying levels of teacher readiness, and resistance to change emerged as major challenges. In conclusion, effective technology integration in primary education requires not only multidimensional teacher competencies but also supportive educational ecosystems characterized by adequate technological infrastructure, sustained professional development opportunities, institutional support, and collaboration among schools, educational authorities, and higher education institutions to foster continuous professional learning and digital transformation.

Abstract

The rapid development of Industry 4.0 has driven increased the demand for physics education that fostes science process skills and problem-solving abilities through technology-integrated learning. This study surveys the current state of ESP32-based educational robotics integrated with STEM approaches in physics education and identifies research gaps. A systematic review was conducted on publications from 2020 to 2025 in reputable databases, including Scopus, Springer, IEEE Xplore, MDPI, and Taylor Francis. Bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer examined research trends, thematic patterns, and emerging topics. Results reveal a surge in studies on STEM, educational robotics, and IoT, though most focus on general learning outcomes, motivation, or conceptual frameworks. Few studies explicitly design ESP32-based robotic tools as experimental resources to support quantitative physics inquiry and science process skills. This review emphasizes the need for structured ESP32-based robotics combined with STEM and project-based learning to improve data-driven physics experiments. The results offer a conceptual foundation for future research in STEM-based physics learning media.
