Abstract

The low performance of Indonesian students in the PISA 2022 science assessment highlights ongoing challenges in science literacy, especially in interpreting scientific visuals. Textbooks, as the primary learning resource, play a vital role in shaping students’ conceptual understanding. This study examines how water related topics are visually represented in junior high school science textbooks and explores their implications for science literacy and potential misconceptions. A descriptive qualitative method was applied using purposive sampling of nine BSE textbooks published by the Ministry of Education and Culture, covering grades VII–IX in both the 2013 and Merdeka (Indonesian independent) curricula. Visual data were classified into four categories: water, water and society, technology, and sustainability and responsibility. Content analysis was conducted with a coding instrument validated by two experts, one in water literacy and the other in science learning and the data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model with RStudio support for visualization. In total, 104 visuals were identified. The majority (63%) belonged to the “water” category, while “water and society” (17%), “technology” (12%), and “sustainability and responsibility” (8%) were underrepresented. Both curricula concentrated visuals in grade VII, with fewer in grades VIII and IX. Common inaccuracies included incomplete water cycle diagrams that omitted infiltration and percolation processes, potentially fostering misconceptions. These findings indicate that textbook visuals emphasize conceptual aspects of water while neglecting social, technological, and sustainability dimensions. This imbalance restricts students’ opportunities to develop comprehensive science literacy. The study underscores the need for more accurate, contextual, and real world aligned textbook visuals to support curriculum goals and reduce misconceptions.

Abstract

Teaching materials designed for creative thinking skills are very important because they guide students to develop innovative problem-solving skills and think outside the box. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of effective teaching materials in supporting creative thinking skills-based learning, and to identify the essential components that must be present in teaching materials to develop these skills. This study is a systematic literature review that describes teaching materials in creative thinking skills-based learning in the field of biology education. This study synthesizes 11 of 42 articles published between 2021–2024 in Sinta 2–4 journals obtained based on the formulation of the problem. The study results consistently demonstrate the dominance and crucial role of digital-based teaching materials in significantly enhancing students' creative thinking skills. These digital resources are uniquely designed with embedded features like multimedia integration, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) scenarios, and open-ended questions, thereby creating a highly interactive, flexible, and relevant learning environment aligned with 21st-century demands. The efficacy of these digital tools is strongly reinforced through their integration with active learning strategies such as PBL and Inquiry-Based Learning, This finding offers significant novelty by providing empirical evidence that locally-adapted digital products are a primary catalyst for pedagogical transformation. The practical implication is that educators must shift their focus from mere information delivery to designing rich learning experiences that explicitly demand students to generate, test, and validate their own creative ideas, preparing them for future complexity.

Abstract

Attitude Toward Science in the PISA global ranking shows a low-average. This study analyzed the effect of STEAM-Design Process on students’ attitude toward science in the topic of optical instruments. Quantitative research method alongside a quasi-experimental design was utilized in this study. The experimental class used the STEAM-Design Process whereas the control group used conventional learning. The sample for this study were 8th-grade students from a public school in Tasikmalaya Regency, Indonesia. The experimental group consisted of 38 students, while the control group consisted of 30 students. Students ages ranged from 13-14 years old. The data obtained in this study used 60 statements form a questionnaire with two open-ended questions. The findings revealed a significant difference in attitude toward science between the experiment and control class. The N-Gain score in the experiment class is 0.32 and control class 0.12, which is described as medium and low improvement. Based on this research, teaching through STEAM- Design Process is effective approach that can be significantly improve attitude toward science. Educators should consider integrating this model more broadly in secondary science curricula. It is recommended to explore the long-term effects and explore ways to better support the emotional dimensions of student attitudes.

Abstract

Research activities provide an important aspect of graduate students, and it promotes critical thinking, reasoning and rational decision making among the researchers. However, doing research is not easy for students; especially, students who has never conducted research. This study aimed to highlight challenges of student teachers facing with action research implementation. Cross-sectional descriptive research was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire via google form distributed to 184 student teachers from primary and lower secondary in 12+4 program in Phnom Penh Teacher College (PTEC). The questionnaire consisted of two sections with questions aimed at collecting demographic data and data regarding perspective of student teachers towards difficulties of the student-researchers. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 22. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated. The results show that student teachers had many challenges on research knowledge and skills. These challenges derived from student-related challenges, mentor-student challenges, and institution-related challenges. The study suggested that student teachers should have more training on practical research skills, rather than theory, proposed to conduct other topics beside teaching and learning method, more follow up student teacher’s research progress, action research in Khmer language should be promoted through PTEC lecturers, and research written format should be specific and unique, not often be changed.

Abstract

Students’ scientific literacy in Indonesia, especially at the junior high school level, is still low, thus requiring an innovative learning approach. Integrating local wisdom, such as Madurese batik, into science learning makes learning more contextual. This research aimed to analyze the effect of discovery learning assisted by a Madurese Batik science module on students’ scientific literacy improvement. A one-group pretest-posttest design was utilized for this study, involving a sample of 31 students from class 7 at SMPN 2 Bangkalan. The research instrument used an essay test on scientific literacy competency. The analysis technique used the Wilcoxon and the N-Gain tests. The findings indicated a significant improvement in students’ scientific literacy (Wilcoxon sig. = 0.000), with a moderate N-Gain of 0.65. This study implies that integrating local wisdom into discovery learning can be an effective strategy to enhance students’ scientific literacy.

Abstract

This study examines the inclusive teaching readiness of pre-service chemistry teachers using Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching (FfT) as an analytic lens and as an entry point to Educational Design Research (EDR). Fifty participants from six Indonesian state universities were surveyed with a 22-indicator Likert instrument adapted from the FfT. The instrument showed good internal consistency (α = .87). Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were used to compare domains and explore variance. Results indicate high competencies in Planning & Preparation, Classroom Environment, and Instruction, while Professional Responsibility shows comparatively lower means and greater dispersion. Weakest indicators include adaptive assessment, inclusive/multimodal communication, and professionalism, suggesting both curricular gaps and unequal access to clinical experiences. Potential ceiling effects in planning signal the need for more sensitive, authentic indicators (e.g., project-based assessment across representations). We translate these findings into EDR design principles prioritizing (1) adaptive assessment, (2) multimodal communication, (3) mentoring and professional learning communities, and (4) accessibility audits for laboratory spaces. The study formulates EDR design principles emphasizing adaptive assessment, multimodal strategies, mentoring networks, and accessibility audits. Overall, this research operationalizes the Charlotte Danielson’s FfT in inclusive chemistry education, linking empirical measurement to practical design solutions and offering implications for curriculum reform and iterative EDR-based model development.

Abstract

This study aims to (1) identify the best model of relationships among learning self-efficacy, learning approaches, and self-regulated learning on the chemistry aspirations of high school students during the pandemic, and (2) determine the structural equation model (SEM) that best represents these relationships, including the relevant dimensions and indicators for each variable. This quantitative research employed a survey method, path analysis, and SEM approach. The sample consisted of 603 students from the Cirebon district, selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Prior to statistical analysis, prerequisite tests including normality, homogeneity, and outlier detection were conducted. Validity and reliability were examined using Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses.The findings revealed that the learning approach had the most significant direct association with students’ chemistry aspirations, whereas self-efficacy and self-regulated learning showed indirect relationships. Interestingly, surface motives rather than deep strategies were found to be more strongly linked to chemistry aspirations, suggesting that students’ engagement is primarily driven by performance goals and exam success. This context-dependent finding reflects Indonesia’s teacher-centered and exam-oriented learning culture. The most influential indicator was students’ initiative to use their free time to explore chemistry topics, while the least influential was self-control during unsupervised study. These results highlight the need to design learning strategies that gradually transform surface motives into deeper, intrinsic engagement through reflective, inquiry-based, and feedback oriented learning.

Abstract

Indonesia faces serious challenges in developing logical thinking skills, particularly in science. This skill is crucial because it serves as the foundation for students to analyze, evaluate, and create solutions to complex problems, not only in school but also in everyday life. Unfortunately, data from various sources indicates that Indonesian students' logical thinking skills are still far below global standards. The TIMSS consistently ranks Indonesia at the bottom, ranking 44th out of 49 countries with a score of 397. This study aims to 1. Determine the implementation of the CBL with the quiz technique on logical thinking skills. 2. Determine student activities during the implementation of the CBL model with the quiz technique on logical thinking skills. 3. Determine the effectiveness of the CBL with the quiz technique on logical thinking skills. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The research design involved an experimental class implementing the CBL with the quiz technique, and a control class using conventional learning methods. Data were collected after being tested for validity and reliability. The results of the study showed that the average student activity during the implementation of the CBL with the quiz technique reached 83% which is included in the good category. The results of the hypothesis test showed a significant difference in students' logical thinking abilities between the experimental class and the control class, where the sig value (2 tailed) was 0.000. The N-Gain analysis showed that the average N-Gain value of the experimental class was 0.74, which was categorized as "moderate and quite effective". Thus, this study concluded that the CBL with the quiz technique was effective in improving students' logical thinking abilities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the questioning ability of grade VII students in an effort to correct misconceptions on temperature and heat materials. The ability to ask questions is an important skill in the learning process, because the right questions can help students dig deeper into understanding and identify and correct their misconceptions. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with the subject of grade VII students in one of the junior high schools based on Islamic boarding schools in Ponorogo. Data was obtained through tests, interviews, and document analysis in the form of student question notes during the learning process. The results of the study show that most students still have difficulty asking exploratory and critical questions related to the concept of temperature and heat. However, through targeted guidance from teachers, the quality of the questions. From the questions asked by students on the material on temperature and heat, it can be an indicator of misconceptions because by asking questions, students have constructed their own thoughts, making them more curious and satisfying that curiosity through their ability to ask questions. this research connects the two showing how questioning can be a diagnostic and corrective tool to address students’ conceptual misunderstandings. This research is important because many students still hold misconceptions about temperature and heat, while their questioning skills remain low, preventing these errors from being revealed. By analyzing students’ questions, this study provides an effective way for teachers to diagnose misunderstandings early and improve science learning quality.
