Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of integrating the Reading, Questioning, and Answering (RQA) strategy with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in improving students' Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and science literacy in thermochemistry. The background of this research is the low science literacy and critical thinking skills of students, as evidenced by Indonesia's low scores in international assessments such as PISA and TIMSS. This study uses a quantitative method with a pre- experimental one-group pretest-posttest design on 11th-grade science students. The research instrument is a 20-item multiple-choice test validated to measure three HOTS cognitive levels (Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating) and nine science literacy indicators. The results showed a significant improvement in learning outcomes (p < 0.001), with the average pretest score of 34.84 increasing to 68.87 in the posttest. The Normalized gain (N-Gain) value is 0.52, falling into the moderate category. The analysis also showed a significant increase in students' understanding; for example, the ability to distinguish scientifically investigable questions increased from 0% to 70.97%. Despite improvements in analytical and evaluative skills, students continue to struggle with mathematical calculations related to quantitative data. In general, the combination of RQA and PBL methods is effective in helping students understand the material through independent reading and questioning before class, thereby enhancing their readiness to critically address real-world problems in the classroom.

Abstract

Used cooking oil is one of the household wastes that can be utilized as a raw material for solid soap production while supporting environmental sustainability efforts. This study explored the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) integrated with edu-ecopreneurship through a project involving the production of solid soap from used cooking oil with the addition of papaya extract. The study involved 72 tenth-grade students from the Laboratory Testing Analysis (APL) program at a vocational high school in Gresik and employed a quantitative descriptive approach with a one-shot case study design. Data were collected through observations of students’ practical skills and quality testing of the soap products, including pH value, residual alkali content, density, and foam stability. The observations showed that students generally demonstrated good practical skills during project implementation, particularly in preparing materials, following procedures, and applying laboratory safety practices. The soap produced by both classes exhibited relatively similar characteristics, with satisfactory density and foam stability; however, the pH values and residual alkali content indicated that the saponification process had not yet reached optimal conditions. The project provided opportunities for students to apply chemistry concepts through direct experience while utilizing waste materials with potential economic value, making learning activities more relevant to real-life environmental issues.
