Abstract

The critical thinking skills (CTS) of students with different academic abilities is still low. Therefore, STEM-based biology learning assisted by virtual lab gizmos can be implemented to improve students' CTS. This study aims to determine whether STEM-based biology learning assisted by virtual lab gizmos can enhance students' CTS with different academic abilities. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The population consisted of twelfth-grade science students from SMA Negeri 3 Bantaeng. The sample was selected using simple random sampling, with a total of 60 students divided into two learning groups: XII MIPA 1 and XII MIPA 2. Data collection techniques included a CTS skills test. Data analysis was conducted using two-way analysis of covariance. The results showed STEM-based biology learning asissted by the virtual lab gizmos significantly enhances students' CTS, with a significance value of 0.00 0.05. Additionally, the study reveals that academic abilities also influences students' CTS. Furthermore, there is an interaction effect between STEM-based learning with the virtual lab gizmos and academic abilities on students' CTS. Further post hoc LSD analysis shows that STEM-based biology learning with the virtual lab gizmos is more effective in improving students' CTS across different academic abilities compared to contextual learning without the virtual lab gizmos. These findings suggest that STEM-based biology learning supported by the virtual lab gizmos can serve as an effective teaching strategy to enhance students' CTS, particularly in addressing the challenges of 21st-century education

Abstract

Project-oriented laboratories (POLs) and project-based laboratories (PBLs) approaches have become important innovations in science education, providing more relevant learning experiences through real-world based projects. This study aims to evaluate the potential of POLs implementation in supporting science education integrated with sustainable development goals (SDGs) issues, particularly to develop creative ideas in solving environmental problems. In addition, this study also aims to identify the main challenges faced in the implementation of POLs and provide practical recommendations to optimize this approach. Through a systematic literature review based on Prisma 2020 guidelines, 34 articles from 1993 to 2024 were analyzed. The results showed that POLs are effective in improving students' technical, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. However, the integration of POLs with SDGs issues is still limited. Although some projects, such as the development of renewable energy systems, support SDG 7 (clean and affordable energy), most projects have not been strategically geared towards solving other global challenges, such as climate change mitigation (SDG 13) or waste management (SDG 12). The research identified key challenges in the implementation of POLs, including the need for technological infrastructure, intensive training for educators, and funding support. To maximize their impact, it is recommended that POLs actively integrate SDGs themes into project design and promote cross-disciplinary collaboration. This research confirms that POLs have great potential to support science education that not only results in academic achievement, but also tangible contributions to global sustainability

Abstract

The critical thinking skills (CTS) of junior high school students remain relatively low, partly due to the limited use of interactive and contextual learning media. This study aims to develop augmented reality (AR)-based science learning media using a contextual approach to enhance students CTS. The media was developed using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Media validity was assessed by three expert validators, while practicality and effectiveness were tested through observation, questionnaires, and pretest-posttest on grade VII H students at Junior High School 7 Jember. The results showed that the AR-based media had excellent validity (88%) and very high practicality (96.52%), indicating ease of use in learning. Its effectiveness in improving CTS was shown by an average N-Gain score of 0.77 (high category). Students responses were also very positive, with an average of 81.6%. This AR media features interactive 3D visuals linked to real-life contexts, making science concepts like motion and force easier to understand and helping to foster CTS. Technical challenges, such as internet dependence, can be addressed by using projection tools in the classroom. In conclusion, contextual-based AR media is valid, practical, and effective for supporting 21st-century science learning
