Abstract

Research on acid-base misconceptions at the high school level is extensive, but studies at the university level remain limited. Due to the prevalence of these misconceptions, developing accurate instruments for early detection is crucial. This study developed a three-tier multiple-choice virtual reality-based assessment integrating the ETHNO-SSI concept for acid-base topics. The study employed the Borg and Gall R and D model to evaluate content validity.The study used a developmental design, with face validation by six expert reviewers using a rubric to evaluate content validity, construct relevance, clarity and contextual integration. Processing of the data involved the use of Aiken’s V index. The results also evidenced a high content validity for all the dimensions studied, indicating that the instrument is pedagogically sound and culturally relevant. By embedding Ethno-SSI in immersive VR platforms, this assessment approaches represents a new path in the pursuit of students’ conceptual challenges when dealing with sociocultural decision making in real-world conditions. This study provides valuable information to the development of multidimensional chemical assessment instruments to link sociocultural innovation, recover notions of acid-base misconceptions, and incorporate cultural relevance in chemistry education.

Abstract

Critical thinking is essential in environmental education, helping students address ecological and sustainability challenges. However, current learning models often lack a structured framework for developing critical thinking in environmental science courses. The advancement of digital technology offers both opportunities and challenges. This research aims to develop critical thinking dimensions for environmental science courses using a project-based learning (PjBL) approach, integrated with digital technology (AI-assisted data analysis, GIS for mapping, and cloud-based tools for collaboration). The Delphi method was used to create critical thinking indicators, involving 15 experts from various fields. Data was collected via interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and a Likert scale-based validation questionnaire. Results show that the developed dimensions Inference, Clarifying and Interpretation, Analyze and Evaluate Arguments, and Explanation met validity and reliability criteria through Rasch analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Technology integration in PjBL enhances data-driven analysis and predictive modeling but may reduce critical reflection due to AI reliance. A hybrid learning approach is recommended to balance hands-on interaction with technology use. This study contributes to designing more effective strategies for improving students' critical thinking skills in environmental education

Abstract

Misconceptions in physics, particularly in topics like momentum and impulse, pose significant barriers to meaningful learning, as students often rely on everyday experiences that contradict scientific principles. Addressing these misconceptions is crucial for improving students’ understanding and application of physics concepts in real-world contexts. This study examines the effectiveness of the Technology-Integrated Modification, Observation, Reflection, and Evaluation (T-MORE) model in addressing misconceptions about momentum and impulse through a convergent parallel mixed-methods design. A total of 22 first-semester undergraduate students participated in this study, receiving instruction incorporating videos, PhET simulations, and AI-assisted reflection tools. Conceptual understanding was measured using the Four-Tier Momentum and Impulse Misconception Diagnostic Test (FT-MIMDT). The McNemar test confirmed a statistically significant improvement, while the Reduction of Misconception Quantity (RMQ) indicated a high reduction in misconceptions. Qualitative analysis revealed changes in students’ misconceptions regarding momentum conservation and impulse-momentum relationships after instruction. These findings confirm the effectiveness of T-MORE in improving conceptual understanding and reducing misconceptions in momentum and impulse. The implementation of T-MORE can be further optimized by incorporating collaborative discussion sessions and adaptive formative assessments to ensure that all students can reconstruct their understanding more comprehensively.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Relevant and Applicable Content (RAC) and Learner Support (LS) on Motivation and Engagement (ME) in digital learning, mediated by Academic Self-Efficacy (ASE). Higher education faces challenges in maintaining student motivation and engagement along with the rapid growth of digital learning technologies. However, limited research has explored the roles of RAC and LS in this context. This study aimed to address this gap by examining ASE's mediating influence. A quantitative approach was utilized, collecting data through self-report questionnaires from 375 university students. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the relationships among variables. The results revealed that RAC and LS positively influenced ME directly and indirectly through ASE. These findings emphasize the need for relevant content and robust learner support to design effective digital learning programs. Implementing these strategies can foster motivation, engagement, and student-centred learning outcomes in higher education

Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational evaluation optimizes learning outcomes. This research seeks to address the advantages and difficulties of implementing AI within academic evaluation frameworks with particular emphasis on the algorithmic bias problem and its implications for fairness in education. The absence of a thorough grasp of algorithmic bias, particularly how it can be utilized as a weapon against equitable education, reveals an important gap. We conduct a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis on 121 articles sourced from Scopus published between 2021 to 2025 to trace the trends and examine the impacts and biases of AI on grading systems. The data demonstrates a significant increase in publications beginning 2018, concentrating on topics such as educational applications of AI, automated grading systems, and machine learning. The findings further indicate that though AI improves efficiency and consistency of the evaluations, it heightens the chances of biased outcomes because of non-diverse training data, prejudiced developers, and socio-cultural frameworks that could worsen the situation for already marginalized learners. In summary, this study highlights the critical gaps in bias mitigation strategies arising from the lack of ethical design frameworks, antecedent-free algorithms, and educator prep courses aimed at combating bias. These outcomes serve as benchmarks for the creation of more reliable and comprehensive AI systems for assessments and shift subsequent investigations to focus validation on different cultures and the incorporation of just AI design paradigms

Abstract

The workforce's demand for critical thinking and innovation highlights the need to improve students' problem-solving skills, thus encouraging educational institutions to adopt technology-based strategies for an engaging learning environment. Previous studies have explored the relationship between learning motivation and academic outcomes and the role of technology and web-based media in improving problem-solving skills. However, limited research has comprehensively examined the interaction between computational thinking, technology integration, learning motivation, and student performance. This study aims to examine how Computational Thinking (CT) and Technology Integration (TI) influence Learning Motivation (LM) and Student Performance (SP), providing insights into optimizing digital skills for academic success in the digital age. Data were collected from 426 respondents' university students in Indonesia randomly. A questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale consisting of several variables such as Computational Thinking, Technology Integration, Learning Motivation, and Student Performance were used in this study. Then, the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to check the measurement and assessment model. The results showed that CT and TI positively and significantly impacted LM and SP. In addition, LM serves as an important mediator, strengthening the influence of CT and IT on academic outcomes. Specifically, technology integration has a greater impact on LM than CT, while LM significantly improves SP. This study presents a detailed framework for educators to enhance learning experiences by integrating digital skills and fostering student motivation. The findings offer practical implications for developing effective educational strategies that meet the changing demands of the digital age. Future research is recommended to investigate the long-term effects of CT and IT in various educational environments.
