Abstract

This study aims to identify students' learning styles, assess their science problem-solving abilities, and analyze these abilities in relation to their learning styles on the topics of vibration, wave, and sound. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through tests, observations, and interviews. Instruments included a learning style questionnaire, problem-solving ability test, and interview guidelines. The findings reveal four learning styles among students—visual (25%), auditory (13%), kinesthetic (58%), and visual-kinesthetic (4%)—with kinesthetic being the most prevalent. However, 71% of students demonstrated low science problem-solving ability, with an average score of 52.9. Specifically, problem-solving performance was categorized as low across all four indicators: understanding the problem (36.5%), planning the solution (29.2%), implementing the solution (29.7%), and rechecking the answer (18.3%). Students with visual learning styles performed better in all problem-solving stages compared to their auditory and kinesthetic peers. This study highlights the need for tailored teaching strategies to improve problem-solving skills, particularly for students with auditory and kinesthetic learning styles, as no prior research has focused on the interplay between learning styles and problem-solving abilities in the context of vibration, wave, and sound materials.

Abstract

Climate change is a critical global issue with complex and far-reaching impacts that extend beyond the environment to include social, economic, and health dimensions. Addressing these challenges requires future professionals, such as forestry students, to develop strong analytical thinking skills, particularly in identifying and formulating environmental problems. Despite the growing recognition of climate change, limited research exists on forestry students’ understanding and analytical response to this issue, especially within specific regional contexts such as West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Indonesia—a region particularly vulnerable to climate-related effects. This study aims to examine the level of awareness among forestry students regarding climate change issues in NTB and to evaluate their problem-identification and problem-formulation skills based on the phenomenon of global warming in the area. The novelty of this research lies in its regional focus, as NTB is seldom featured in climate literacy studies despite its unique climatic challenges. Using a descriptive quantitative method, data were collected from 26 forestry students enrolled in a Basic Chemistry course through an essay-based test administered in October. The variables observed were environmental awareness, problem-formulating ability, and problem-identifying ability. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and presented in tables and graphs. Results showed low student performance across all variables, with mean scores of 44.6 (awareness), 50.96 (problem formulation), and 40.76 (problem identification). These findings underscore the urgent need for strategic, problem-based educational approaches to improve students’ climate awareness and analytical competencies, ultimately preparing them to effectively contribute to sustainable environmental solutions in their future professional roles.

Abstract

Many science teachers have not yet used reflection as a means of learning evaluation, making it difficult for them to identify problems and find solutions. They also face challenges in determining the right medium for reflection. This study aims to explore the use of Padlet as a reflection tool for science teachers. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving three science teachers as qualitative data sources and 52 students as quantitative research subjects, divided into two classes. Data analysis was conducted using N-Vivo for qualitative data and SPSS for quantitative data, with t-tests and N-Gain tests applied to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that all three teachers agreed that using Padlet significantly improves learning quality. Quantitative data confirms the effectiveness of Padlet in enhancing reflective skills, with a t-test result of 0.000 and an N-Gain score of 75%. These figures indicate that learning with Padlet, integrated with the Group Investigation model in the experimental class, is categorized as effective. This study serves as a reference for science teachers to innovate in using technology for learning reflection, as Padlet has been proven to facilitate reflection for both teachers and students in science education.

Abstract

Despite increasing emphasis on Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in mathematics curricula, classroom implementation remains limited and inconsistent. This qualitative study explored HOTS implementation in mathematics education, aimed to (1) identify effective instructional strategies for fostering HOTS, (2) examine teacher’ challenges, and (3) analyze classroom practices. The study involved 25 stratified junior high school mathematics teachers, with data collected over one academic year through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis followed Braun and Clarke’s six-phase framework.. The study highlights that an integrated instructional framework combining inquiry-based learning, collaborative practices, progressive learning support tailored to student needs, and technology significantly enhances higher-order thinking in mathematics. It demonstrates that aligning teacher beliefs, professional development, and systemic curricular support not only validates but also strengthens effective pedagogy for meeting the contemporary demands of critical thinking and problem-solving. Implementation is hindered by misalignment between curriculum goals and classroom realities, assessment practices, and theoretical professional development. Mathematics classrooms are progressively shifting toward critical problem-solving approaches, with teachers integrating analysis, evaluation, and creative tasks. Students demonstrate greater engagement with authentic tasks that connect to real-world contexts. These findings support the redesign of professional development programs and curriculum planning to enhance HOTS implementation in mathematics education.

Abstract

The 21st-century learning must integrate learning models that are appropriate to students' needs in facing the challenges of the times. This study aims to develop a project-based differentiated learning model oriented to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) to improve students' critical thinking skills and biodiversity literacy. This model was designed by integrating a differentiation approach, project-based learning, and sustainability values. Validation by experts showed that this model has a high level of relevance and integration, with an average score of 4.7 on a scale of 5. Implementation of the model on high school students showed a significant increase in critical thinking skills (18.5 points) and biodiversity literacy (17.7 points) based on the results of the pre-test and post-test. The success factors of this model include contextualization of materials, differentiation approaches, and integration of sustainability values. These results indicate that this model is effective and relevant to be applied in biodiversity learning in high schools. This study recommends further development with a wider population to ensure the sustainability of its impact. The implementation of this model should be accompanied by comprehensive training for teachers to ensure a deep understanding of the principles of differentiation, project-based learning, and ESD values.

Abstract

This narrative review explores the integration of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within Indonesian science education, focusing on elementary to upper secondary levels between 2020 and 2024. The study aims to analyze how ESD has been operationalized across science subjects—particularly in physics, biology, and interdisciplinary IPAS—through various instructional models. It further evaluates curriculum alignment, identifies implementation challenges, and highlights pedagogical innovations that support sustainable learning outcomes. Using a narrative synthesis approach, ten empirical studies were examined based on inclusion criteria emphasizing Indonesian science contexts, ESD orientation, and modular or project-based designs. Data were organized into six thematic categories: STEAM integration, differentiated instruction, project-based learning, ecoliteracy, digital media, and curriculum-policy gaps. Tabled analyses captured subject focus, instructional tools, ESD competencies addressed, and reported outcomes. The review finds that while teachers frequently initiate ESD-based practices through creative instructional strategies—such as ProBLES, PJBL, and ecoliteracy modules—systemic curriculum integration remains limited. Notably, the absence of formal ESD indicators in core topics like rotational dynamics constrains scalability. Nonetheless, significant cognitive and affective gains were observed, including increases in critical thinking, creativity, environmental care, and systems awareness. Community partnerships and digital media tools also show potential to amplify ESD awareness among young learners. These findings suggest a pressing need for structured curriculum reform and professional development to institutionalize ESD in science education. The review contributes a nuanced understanding of localized ESD practice and offers a roadmap for aligning policy, pedagogy, and sustainability competencies.

Abstract

Indonesia, geographically situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire, has one of the highest potentials for earthquake and tsunami disasters worldwide, second only to Japan. These seismic events pose significant threats, including loss of life and infrastructure damage. One of the key strategies to mitigate earthquake risks is the implementation of Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS) technology, which heavily relies on the spatial distribution of accelerographs. The Indonesian People's Accelerograph (ARI) has been designed as an affordable and independently built solution to record ground vibration acceleration, utilizing the MEMS-based ADXL 355 sensor and an ESP32 microcontroller for efficient EEWS implementation. This study focuses on the development and correction of the ARI system to enhance instrument response accuracy by analyzing ground acceleration vibration data through an inversion-based method applied to ARI recordings. The results demonstrated that the ARI accelerograph exhibits pole values of 1.31260317e-07 and -2.43562359e-02, zero values of -1.23898531e-06 and 2.77232055, and a gain of 72.97. These findings confirm that the ARI accelerograph provides reliable seismic data, highlighting its potential as an essential tool in reducing earthquake risk and mitigating seismic disaster impacts through improved earthquake early warning capabilities.
