Abstract

Background-Empirical studies that integrate plant awareness into non-botany science topics through lesson study are still limited, particularly in the Indonesian educational context. Objective-This study investigates junior high school science teachers' plant awareness and explores the integration of plant-related content through lesson study to address plant awareness disparity. Method-Conducted with 23 science teachers from the Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran IPA in East Java, Indonesia, the research employed a participatory action research framework. Data were collected via questionnaires, focus group discussions, and observations of lesson study cycles. Results-Findings revealed a disparity in teachers' plant awareness: while they exhibited positive interest and attitudes towards plants, their visual perception often relegated plants to a background role. Furthermore, a significant portion (39.1%) lacked a clear understanding of plant awareness. Through collaborative lesson study, teachers developed and implemented two innovative lesson plans: integrating medicinal plants (jamu making) into the human digestive system topic and using plants as objects for length measurement in physics. Conclusion-The study concludes that while teacher awareness and curriculum representation of plants need improvement, lesson study provides an effective collaborative model for developing engaging, integrative lessons that can help combat plant awareness disparity among students.

Abstract

: Background-Low levels of problem-solving and collaboration skills among junior high school students remain a significant challenge in science learning, particularly due to limited interactive and contextual learning approaches. Objective-This study aims to analyze the potential of integrating role playing into problem-based learning (PBL-RP) to improve junior high school students' problem-solving skills (PSS) and collaboration skills (CS). Method-The research method used was a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group, involving two classes: an experimental class using the PBL-RP model and a control class using the PBL model. Results-The results showed that the application of PBL-RP was effective in improving students' PSS with a moderate N-gain score, while the PBL class only achieved a low score. The highest indicator of improvement was in the aspect of understanding problems. In addition, student CS in the experimental class increased significantly based on the results of teacher observations, but the increase was not seen in peer assessments due to differences in perception and depth of observation. Conclusion-Overall, the results of the study confirm that PBL-RP has the potential to simultaneously strengthen students' higher-order thinking and collaborative skills and is relevant to 21st-century learning to foster contextual, reflective, and student-centered learning processes.

Abstract

Background-This study examines the effectiveness of ChatGPT-assisted Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in improving student learning outcomes in civic education. Traditional PBL often relies on tutor facilitation, which can result in inconsistent support and limited access to learning resources. Objectives-This study addresses this limitation by integrating ChatGPT as a support tool within the PBL process. Method-A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was used, involving 70 undergraduate students divided into an experimental group (ChatGPT-assisted PBL, n = 35) and a control group (conventional PBL, n = 35). Student learning outcomes were measured using a 25-item multiple-choice test. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA to control for pretest differences. Results-The results showed a significant effect of the instructional method on posttest scores, F (1,67) = 22.13, p < .001. The adjusted mean score of the experimental group (M = 86.02) was higher than that of the control group (M = 78.58), with a large effect size (partial η² = .29). Conclusions-These findings indicate that integrating ChatGPT into PBL can improve student learning outcomes by providing consistent support during problem-solving activities. This study contributes empirical evidence on the use of AI in civic education and supports its integration into problem-based learning environments.

Abstract

Background-Although PBL is effective in biology learning, this approach often triggers cognitive overload when the complexity of the material and instructional demands exceed students' working memory capacity, while there is currently no empirically validated causal model available to explain these interactions. Objectives-This study aims to examine the effects of material complexity and teaching strategies on students' cognitive load and to assess the interaction of the two in PBL-based biology learning. Method-A quantitative explanatory design was employed with 240 eighth-grade students from junior high schools in Pontianak, Indonesia. Data were collected using validated 5-point Likert scales and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via AMOS 26.0, encompassing confirmatory factor analysis, goodness-of-fit evaluation, structural path analysis, and Sobel mediation test. Measurement quality was confirmed with AVE values ranging from 0.58 to 0.65 and CR values from 0.81 to 0.88. Results-Material complexity (β = 0.59; p < 0.001) and teaching strategies (β = 0.38; p < 0.001) significantly predicted cognitive load. A significant mediation effect was confirmed via Sobel test (z = 2.26; p < 0.05), indicating that teaching strategies partially mediate the relationship between material complexity and cognitive load formation. Conclusions-Adaptive instructional design grounded in Cognitive Load Theory encompassing scaffolding, content segmentation, and structured sequencing is essential to ensure PBL is both pedagogically effective and cognitively ergonomic.
