Abstract

Project based learning (PjBL) plays a crucial role in helping students develop 21st-century skills. This study aims to assess the development of PjBL implementation in physics education in Indonesia through a systematic literature review. By analyzing articles published between 2017 and 2023, this research employs identification, screening, and in-depth analysis techniques to evaluate the content. Inclusion and quality assessments of the articles are conducted meticulously to ensure accuracy and avoid bias. A total of 24 relevant articles were identified, with most studies being experimental and involving high school students with sample sizes ranging from 22 to 48 students. The most common research instrument was tests, focusing on fluid topics, and the frequently measured variable was students' creative thinking skills. PjBL is often integrated with the STEM approach. Recommendations from this review include the development of PjBL on a wider range of physics topics and more comprehensive measurement of students' skills. Teachers are also advised to manage time allocation effectively when implementing PjBL. The limitation of this study is its exclusive focus on PjBL in Indonesia. Further research is recommended to explore the application of PjBL in enhancing critical thinking, problem-solving, and student literacy in less commonly tested physics topics such as Newton's Laws, Temperature and Heat, Electromagnetism, Light, and Waves

Abstract

Critical thinking skills (CTS) can be enhanced through instructional models. The chosen model should be problem-based and student-centered. The problem based learning (PBL) and search, solve, create, and share (SSCS) models meet these criteria. This study aims to compare the potential of the PBL and SSCS models to enhance students' CTS on the topics of soil and life sustainability. Data collection techniques included interviews, questionnaires, observations, and tests. Data analysis techniques involved descriptive quantitative techniques, percentage analysis, validity and reliability tests, normality tests, homogeneity tests, Wilcoxon tests, and N-gain tests. The validation of the devices received very valid criteria. The N-gain test in the PBL class received moderate criteria, and the SSCS class received high criteria. The results showed that both models could improve students' CTS, but the two classes had different levels of CTS improvement. The treatment using the SSCS model resulted in higher CTS compared to the treatment using the PBL model. The PBL model can enhance higher CTS in the inference aspect, while the SSCS model can enhance higher CTS in the interpretation, explanation, and self-regulation aspects

Abstract

This study focuses on the perspective of prospective teachers on the development of self-efficacy during teaching practice in micro teaching and also during real teaching. The problem in this study is what factors influence the development of self-efficacy during micro teaching and real teaching? The purpose of this study is to describe the factors that contribute to the development of self-efficacy during micro teaching and real teaching. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. The participants of the study were first-year biology teachers who had taken micro teaching courses at college. The instruments used included questionnaires and interview sheets. The results obtained were that during micro teaching, prospective teachers had high self-efficacy in three factors, namely performance experience, other people's experiences, and social support. Meanwhile, after teaching at school (real teaching), the factors that support the development of self-efficacy are physiological and emotional states. In order for self-efficacy to develop well during real teaching, it can be concluded that micro teaching is an efficient technique in improving the self-efficacy of prospective biology teachers. It is necessary to form a learning community in schools that can be used as a forum for teachers to collaborate with each other in finding efficient strategies in teaching. This can support the development of teacher self-efficacy.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the percentage and causes of student misconceptions in electrochemistry using the Four-Tier diagnostic test instrument. The research was conducted using a quantitative-qualitative descriptive method. The data collection technique was done through written tests with four-tier diagnostic test instruments and non-tests through interviews. The research subjects were students of the 2021 batch of Chemistry Education at FKIP Lambung Mangkurat University Banjarmasin. The results showed that 34% of students experienced misconceptions. Students experienced misconceptions in electrochemistry and electromotive power (DGL) sub-matter by 25.27%; the thermodynamic aspect of electrochemistry experienced the smallest misconception of 7.69%; DGL and temperature by 12.09%; connecting the Nernst equation with pH measurements by 17.58%; concentration cells by 14.29%; electrolysis by 12.64%; and corrosion sub-matter by 10.44%. Misconceptions occur in electrochemical materials because students think that salt bridges play a role in accelerating reactions. Students were confused about determining the relationship between DGL and temperature; and they were less careful in determining whether a chemical reaction is spontaneous or not. In addition, students were less careful in determining the actions of the gilding process.
