Abstract

Objective: Problem-solving skills are essential for students because they help develop logical, critical, and systematic thinking necessary for addressing challenges in both academic and real-life situations. These abilities involve several cognitive processes, including identifying problems, analyzing situations, exploring possible solutions, making informed decisions, and evaluating outcomes. Enhancing these skills is essential to prepare students to face complex situations independently and confidently. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the CFL (Collaborative Flipped Learning) learning model in improving students' problem-solving skills. Method: This research employed a quantitative experimental approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Students were assessed before and after the implementation of the CFL model to measure the improvement in their problem-solving skills. Result: The findings from the experiments indicated that the CFL learning model significantly enhanced students’ problem-solving skills. The results show that students marked an improvement in recognizing and resolving problems more efficiently after participating in learning activities based on the CFL model. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the application of the CFL learning model specifically to the topic of temperature and heat at the junior high school level to enhance problem-solving skills. This focus has not been widely explored and offers new insights into effective science education strategies to enhance students’ problem-solving skills.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to describe the profile of multiple intelligences among high school students in physics learning. The goal is to provide a basis for designing more adaptive and personalized instructional strategies that align with students' cognitive strengths. Method: A quantitative descriptive method with a survey approach was employed, involving 101 students from three different classes. Data were collected using a Likert-scale-based multiple intelligences questionnaire encompassing eight intelligence domains: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and reliability testing. Results: The findings revealed that intrapersonal (78.320%), interpersonal (77.030%), kinesthetic (76.780%), and naturalist (76.440%) intelligence were the most dominant among students. Verbal-linguistic (70.050%), musical (71.830%), visual-spatial (69.110%), and logical-mathematical (64.500%) also showed notable representation. EFA identified ten principal components that explained 65.040% of the total Variance. Reliability analysis showed that most factors had adequate Cronbach's Alpha values (> 0.700), although some required refinement. Novelty: This study provides updated empirical insights into high school students' multiple intelligences in physics learning, with a focus on the emerging dominance of kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and naturalist intelligence. It also incorporates recent psychometric validation using EFA, underscoring the need for intelligence-based instructional design. The novelty lies in combining psychological profiling with physics-specific pedagogy in a Merdeka Belajar framework.

Abstract

Objective: The study aims to determine the profile of students' critical thinking skills using E-Instruments. In this study, the profile of students' critical thinking skills, as assessed with conventional tests and E-instruments, is also compared. Method: The analysis of critical thinking skills profiles was conducted using quantitative methods. The study was conducted at a high school in East Java, Indonesia, that had used the independent curriculum. The population of this study was sampled purposively, comprising 65 students. Results: The profile of students' critical thinking skills in physics material is still relatively low. Based on the Wilcoxon test, the findings indicate that there is no significant difference between the test results obtained from conventional tests and those from E-instruments. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the application of E-instruments as a substitute for conventional instruments in measuring students' critical thinking skills. Its manifestation is in the implementation of point 4 of the SDGs, which aims to improve the quality of education in the field of digital technology. On the other hand, the level of students' critical thinking skills is determined by the difficulty of the material and the skill indicators that are drilled. In the future, comprehensive learning devices and models can be developed as alternatives to enhance students' skills, particularly in the use of digital technology, including media, devices, and assessment instruments, thereby increasing students' enthusiasm for learning.
