Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential for students, yet junior high school students often show low levels of these abilities. Previous studies using Google Sites did not integrate the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model or focus specifically on respiratory system content and critical thinking. This study aims to develop a PBL-based Google Sites e-module on the respiratory system that is valid, practical, and effective in improving critical thinking skills. The development followed the ADDIE model: analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. Data were collected through questionnaires and tests and analyzed descriptively to assess validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Validation results showed the material was highly valid (84.89%) and the media valid (79.47%). Practicality tests based on teacher and student assessments resulted in scores of 94.68% and 92.71%, respectively, indicating the media was very practical. The effectiveness was supported by an independent sample t-test showing significant differences in critical thinking scores between experimental and control classes. The average N-Gain score of 0.67 in the experimental class indicated a moderate improvement, and a Cohen’s d effect size of 1.21 suggested a large impact. This e-module is valid, practical, and effective for science learning, particularly in supporting teachers to implement student-centered learning that fosters critical thinking.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is increasingly recognized as a critical competency for all university students, including those in non-STEM disciplines. However, language education students are often overlooked in discussions surrounding mathematical reasoning. This study examines the mathematical literacy performance of tertiary-level students enrolled in Arabic, Indonesian, and English language education programs. Using a quantitative descriptive design, data were collected from 91 students through assessments covering linear equations, inequalities, graphing functions, and quadratic equations. The study employed one-way ANOVA and Kruskal–Wallis tests to analyze differences in performance. While overall scores did not differ significantly across majors, notable differences were observed in component-level indicators, particularly in Employ and Interpret processes. Indonesian Language Education students demonstrated stronger skills in problem formulation and procedural application, while Arabic Language Education students excelled in interpreting mathematical results. In contrast, English Language Education students showed high procedural ability but struggled with interpretation. These findings highlight uneven cognitive development in mathematical reasoning across programs and underscore the need for integrating numeracy into language education curricula. Recommendations include differentiated instructional strategies, cross-disciplinary teacher training, and policy support to promote holistic and interdisciplinary competencies among future educators.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop scientific literacy instruments aligned with the 2025 framework, focusing on socioscientific issues (SSI) related to health and disease, and apply them to prospective science teachers (PSTs). Despite the updated framework, many Indonesian scholars still use outdated models. Using an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design and the ADDIE model, this research involved 194 PSTs, three assessment experts, and two content experts. Textbook analysis revealed that competency 1 was most dominant, while competency 3 was the least addressed in both books and classroom practice. The instrument development process began with 30 items and underwent multiple stages, including expert validation, readability checks, pilot testing, and statistical analyses of reliability, item difficulty, and discrimination. Ultimately, 23 items were validated with high reliability (0.92) and a balanced difficulty range that cover the cognitive skills such as content, procedural, and epistemic knowledge. A profiling analysis using these items showed that most PSTs demonstrated moderate scientific literacy, with third-year students outperforming first- and second-year students. Overall, the instrument proved effective, as it was systematically developed based on textbook analysis and teacher interviews to reflect current scientific literacy demands, particularly in preparation for PISA 2025. This instrument also expects the PSTs in the future to have the ability to teach their students about the skills of the content, procedural, and epistemic knowledge.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of learning modules based on Socio-Scientific Issues with Problem-Based Learning (SSI-PBL) approach in improving students' scientific argumentation skills on the topic of earthquake mitigation. The research method used is Research and Development with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) involving 95 grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Maduran, Lamongan. Data collection techniques included scientific argumentation tests (pre-test and post-test), observation of student activities and learning implementation, and student response questionnaires. Data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively and inferentially using paired t-test, gain score and ANOVA test to measure skill improvement. The results showed a significant improvement in students' argumentation skills, with an average post-test score of 68% compared to 21% in the pre-test, as well as improvements in the indicators of claims (from 28% to 72%), use of data (15% to 65%), and preparation of rebuttal (25% to 58%). The SSI-PBL design facilitated deeper engagement by situating students in authentic, real-world contexts that required critical examination of seismic data, policy debates, and ethical considerations. These findings suggest that the SSI-PBL module is able to bridge the gap between theory and practice in disaster learning and strengthen 21st century skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and public policy literacy. Results underscore the module’s effectiveness in fostering scientific literacy, critical thinking, and policy awareness, essential for disaster-resilient communities.

Abstract

This study investigates the robust positive correlation between critical thinking (CT) and collaborative problem-solving (CPS) in science education. Employing a convergent parallel mixed methods design, the study involved a sample of 231 undergraduate students from Islamic higher education. Linear regression analysis demonstrated that CT accounted for 74.20% of the variance in CPS. The study underwent three complementary analytical phases. In the theoretical phase, prior literature was reviewed to contextualize CT and CPS. In the empirical phase, quantitative data were analyzed using regression, confirming the strong association between CT and CPS in the context of science education. In the factor-identification phase, qualitative coding revealed enabling and constraining factors. Enablers included AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT), conducive environments, hands-on practice, and targeted training, while barriers included personal biases, time constraints, and team conflicts. This research contributes by employing a convergent mixed-methods design in the Islamic higher education science context, integrating regression with qualitative factor analysis. These findings provide actionable guidance for designing integrated pedagogical strategies that promote both CT and CPS.

Abstract

The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) into education has encouraged the development of innovative learning resources, particularly electronic modules (e-modules), to support interactive and independent learning. Physics, despite its fundamental role in fostering analytical and critical thinking, is often perceived as abstract and difficult, with conventional instruction limiting student engagement and higher-order thinking. To address these challenges, this study developed a STEM-based e-module on sound waves aimed at enhancing students' critical thinking skills. This study employed a 4D development model—define, design, develop, and disseminate—with 34 11th-grade students from SMAN 6 Padangsidimpuan as participants. Instruments included expert validation (content, media, and language), teacher and student questionnaires, and a pretest-posttest assessment of critical thinking. This electronic module achieved a validity score of 96.66% (very valid), a practicality rating of 96.36% from teachers and 85.95% from students (very practical), and effectiveness was demonstrated by a significant increase in students' posttest scores (M = 85.59) compared to pretest scores (M = 36.76), exceeding the minimum competency. The results of the paired t-test showed t = 17.89 and df = 33, p < 0.001, with a very large effect size (Cohen's d = 3.26). The results of the study show that the use of STEM-based e-modules is effective in improving students' critical thinking skills. Results dissemination shows involvement of active students and ability adaptation across the board. These findings confirm that this STEM -based electronic module is valid, practical, and effective, and provides an innovative solution to support critical thinking, problem-solving, and technological literacy in 21st-century physics education.

Abstract

This study investigated students’ cognitive progression in geometry based on Van Hiele levels. It used a design-based research approach that integrates the Van Hiele Model of Instruction with ethnomathematics, following the McKenney & Reeves design cycle (analysis and exploration, design and construction, and evaluation and reflection). Data were collected through Van Hiele tests, observations, teachers and students interview, and documentation, and analysed using qualitative methods (data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification). The pilot class (cycle 1) was conducted with 34 eighth-grade students at SMPN 6 Tasikmalaya in August 2025, while actual class (cycle 2) was carried out with 33 eighth-grade students at SMPN 13 Tasikmalaya in September 2025. The research results showed that students’ cognitive development peaked at the visualization phase in both the pilot class (85%) and the actual class (94%), with fewer students progressing to higher levels. However, the actual class (61% at the formal deduction level) demonstrated notable improvement compared to the pilot class (41% at the formal deduction level), due to refinements in instructional design. These findings suggest that integrating ethnomathematics with the Van Hiele model effectively enhances students’ geometric thinking.

Abstract

The 21st century demands that learners not only master knowledge, but also critical, creative, collaborative, and communicative thinking skills in response to the global challenges of the industrial revolution era 4.0. However, these skills have not been optimally developed in science learning because learning practices remain teacher-centered and do not provide space for high-level thinking activities that address the low abilities of the 21st century. On the other hand, increasing environmental, social, and economic problems underscore the need for education that fosters sustainability awareness. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a potential approach to integrating 21st-century skills and sustainability values in science learning. However, the implementation of ESD in Indonesia remains limited. It has not been entirely directed toward strengthening 21st-century skills, so a more in-depth study is needed to assess the extent to which ESD has been applied in science learning and its contribution to the development of these competencies. This study aims to analyze the implementation of ESD in science learning to develop 21st-century skills in Indonesia through a Systematic Literature Review of 25 published articles from Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and ResearchGate, published between 2020 and August 26, 2025. The article selection process followed the inclusion and exclusion criteria and guidelines of PRISMA 2020, resulting in 25 studies deemed appropriate and relevant. The results of the analysis show that the application of ESD in science learning focuses on developing tools aligned with the learning models used, including Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Predict–Observe-Explain (POE), RADEC, and SSCS. The PBL model is the most dominant one because it effectively encourages students to analyze and solve environmental problems scientifically. In addition, most of the research uses e-modules, ESD-based LKPDs, digital media, and virtual field trips as learning media. Based on the analysis of 21st-century skills, critical thinking is the most improved competency (48.3%), followed by sustainability awareness and problem-solving (13.8%), creative thinking and science literacy (10.3%), and environmental literacy (3.4%). ESD integration has been proven to strengthen students’ ability to analyze phenomena, evaluate solutions, and make sustainability-oriented decisions. The material topics most often associated with ESD include Environment and Sustainability (44.8%) and Energy and Force (34.5%), reflecting the relevance of climate change, ecosystem, and renewable energy issues in science learning.
