Abstract

Objective: Conceptual change is a research trend that continues to develop with various innovations being carried out. The research aims to conduct a literature study on conceptual change and how it contributes to science education. Method: The data was collected by searching for literature sources for articles using specific criteria. Ten articles were synthesized in more depth to answer questions from the research conducted. Result: The results of this research state that methodology and assessment tools influence the form and objectives of research data to be achieved both qualitatively and quantitatively. Apart from that, the concepts in science education are more focused on the physics concepts contained in it. In addition, the findings from these ten articles have a positive impact on science education, especially on material rich in concepts. Novelty: In this way, in making changes to students' conceptions, it is necessary to carry out preliminary studies related to the profile of students and the sample group that you want to research so that it can become a reference for the direction of the research you want to complete.

Abstract

Objective: Indonesia ranks third as the country with the most social media users, with emerging adults making up the largest group. On average, Indonesians spend almost 6 hours a day playing social media. This condition can cause both physical and psychological problems. One of the impacts of excessive social media use is Social Media Fatigue (SMF). The level of SMF is influenced by several factors, one of which is Fear of Missing Out (FoMo), which is a fear of missing out on experiences that others are enjoying. SMF and FoMo can significantly impact an individual's mental health. The link between the two conditions is clear, but there is little in-depth research linking the two. This study aimed to explore the association of Fear of Missing out (FoMo) with Social Media Fatigue (SMF) among emerging adults. Method: A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 157 men and women emerging adults. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire that consisted of demographic characteristics, Fear of Missing Out scale, and Social Media Fatigue scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and Pearson Correlation statistic technique. Results: Descriptive analysis results showed that men showed a higher tendency of both fear of missing out and social media fatigue compared to women. Further, a significant yet moderate correlation was found between FoMo and SMF among emerging adults. Novelty: This study contributed to explore further on the relationship between fear of missing out (FoMo) and social media fatigue specifically among emerging adults.

Abstract

Objective: Prospective science teachers must have good scientific literacy skills as critical agents in developing future generations' scientific literacy. However, the scientific literacy skills of prospective science teachers in Indonesia still need to improve. This research tries to formulate the OMIRE learning model to increase the scientific literacy of prospective science teachers. Method: The method used is a literature study with a qualitative research type. Results: The hypothetical OMIRE learning model synthesizes inquiry-based learning models and culture-based learning models to develop the scientific literacy of prospective science teachers. This model is based on several learning theories, including constructivism, Piaget's cognitive development theory, Vygotsky's social constructivist theory, Ausuble's meaningful learning, Bruner's discovery learning, Novak's concept map (mind map), information processing theory, collateral learning theory, boundary crossing metaphor culture, and scientific reconstruction. The hypothetical OMIRE learning model consists of five phases: Observation (O), Mind Mapping (M), Investigation (I), Reconstruction (R), and Evaluation (E). Novelty: The hypothetical OMIRE learning model can develop the scientific literacy of prospective science teachers. Further research needs to be conducted to test the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the OMIRE learning model in improving the scientific literacy of prospective science teachers.

Abstract

Objective: The primary goal of this review is to investigate the connection between organizational health and transformational leadership in the context of school leadership practices. The qualities of transformational leadership and how it is developed from different foundational leadership theories are also intended to be examined in this review. Method: The type of research used is Research and Development (RnD). Results: Following the filtering process, 34 papers were selected for examination using a variety of pre-established criteria as part of the systematic review approach. According to this systematic review, a relationship exists between the organizational health components proposed by Hoy and Miskel and the transformational leadership features presented by Bass. This is crucial since it serves as the foundation for this study. Novelty: The components of organizational health—namely integrity within institutions, collegial leadership, teacher relationships, and academic emphasis—play a pivotal role in shaping effective school environments. These elements are closely aligned with the four dimensions of transformational leadership: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. Understanding the interplay between organizational health and transformational leadership provides valuable insight into how school leaders can foster positive, sustainable change.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to increase creative thinking in Indonesian language learning by using the Experiential Seamless Learning model. Method: This research uses Branch's ADDIE model with 66 students as subjects. The data collection techniques used were questionnaires, and the data analysis technique employed was the independent samples t-test. Results: The effectiveness of the Experiential Seamless Learning model in enhancing students' creative thinking skills was evaluated, and quantitative data were collected. The t-test results showed a difference between classes using the Experiential Seamless Learning model and conventional classes. The difference lies in the acquisition of the average value of creative thinking skills in the Experiential Seamless Learning model class higher than the conventional class. Novelty: The Experiential Seamless Learning model in language learning, an original concept, offers the advantage of providing a fresh perspective on existing topics, specifically by combining two experiential theories and seamless learning. The novelty of new research results lies in their ability to make significant contributions to existing research fields, particularly in the application of learning in continuity, which can be achieved both formally and informally. Novelty with an interdisciplinary approach has the advantage of helping to solve more complex learning problems, especially in improving creative thinking. The research conducted was only limited to description text material, and the mobile seamless learning dimensions used were seven out of ten dimensions.
