Abstract

Objective: This research investigates how applying the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach affects students’ cognitive performance in the subject of product creation using knitting techniques in Grade XI Fashion Design at VHS 8 Surabaya. Method: This The study utilized the Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, conducted across three cycles that included the stages of planning, execution, observation, and reflection. Data collection was carried out through observational methods and performance-based assessments. The data were then analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning implementation and the enhancement of students’ psychomotor skills. Results: The findings indicated that the application of the PjBL model was rated as “Good,” covering both student and teacher activities in collaboratively designing, conducting, and evaluating the project. Students’ psychomotor learning outcomes significantly improved, with average scores increasing from 77.5 in Cycle I to 87.5 in Cycle III. The student passing rate also rose markedly, from 15.6% to 87.5%. Novelty: What sets this research apart is its contextual emphasis on knitting techniques in the fashion domain, highlighting psychomotor skills—an element that has frequently been neglected in earlier studies. Moreover, this study reinforces the relevance of the PjBL model in supporting the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes the strengthening of technical skills, student independence, and creativity in vocational education.

Abstract

Objective: Based on previous research, there is evidence that science literacy and technological literacy in various regions of Indonesia still need improvement, especially vocational high schools. Science literacy and technological literacy in science learning are combined with socioemotional abilities, one of which is the ability to empathize students. Learning interventions are needed to produce competitive graduates who are able to compete in facing challenges in the world of work. This study aims to validate the STEM Empathy learning model. Method: The educational development research design used is a validation study design that tests two criteria, namely testing content validity (also called relevance) and construct validity (also called consistency). This validation involved three experts in the field of Science Education, and the validation instrument used a validation sheet. Result: The research results and data analysis showed that the Empathy STEM learning model consistently provided highly relevant results and met strict validity and reliability standards (with a percentage of agreement ≥ 75%). Novelty: Validation of learning support devices includes lesson plans, student textbooks, learner worksheets, science literacy and technological literacy tests. Empathy STEM learning can be applied to improve students' science literacy and technological literacy. The empathy stem learning model can train scientific literacy and technological literacy while fostering students' socio-emotional abilities. STEM learners are well-suited to teaching empathy, social emotional learning into science education creating a holistic STEM that s the potential to increase students’ interest and appreciation of science and its applications.

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.
