Abstract

Many students struggle to understand abstract physics concepts such as magnetism due to limited practical engagement and conventional teaching methods. This study aims to explore the impact of a mini lab and hands-on learning approach to magnetism on students cognitive and critical thinking abilities (CTA). The study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design and was conducted in a junior high school in South Tangerang City, with 25 ninth-grade students serving as research subjects. Learning took place through six mini lab stations presenting different topics, as well as hands-on activities involving the design of a simple compass. Data were collected through cognitive and CTA tests, as well as documentation from the students' worksheets and KWL (know-want-learned) charts. The analysis revealed a significant increase in cognitive abilities, with moderate gain scores. Conversely, the increase in CTA was not statistically significant, with low gain scores. Limited time and inadequate conceptual reflection space were the main factors. These findings suggest that mini labs and hands-on approaches effectively build conceptual understanding, but strategies are needed to optimize the development of students' CTA

Abstract

The development of STEM-project-based learning (STEM-PjBL) materials demands rigorous validation to ensure their quality, effectiveness, and relevance to learning objectives, particularly in complex chemistry topics such as stoichiometry. However, many existing tools lack rigorous validation, potentially undermining the credibility of both research outcomes and educational practices. This study aims to evaluate the quality of STEM-PjBL learning materials on stoichiometry supported by a simple photometer, by assessing the content validity of various instructional and assessment instruments using Aikens Index. A quantitative document analysis approach was employed, with validation conducted through a focus group discussion (FGD) involving seven experts: four chemistry education lecturers from Sebelas Maret University and Padang State University, and three experienced high school chemistry teachers from Surakarta. The instruments evaluated included a teaching module, student worksheet, STEM-PjBL implementation and sustainability literacy questionnaire, sustainability literacy pre-test and post-test, observation sheet for student performance during practicum, water filtration project scoring rubrics, and a cognitive pre-test and post-test on stoichiometry. Expert judgments focused on the clarity, relevance, and alignment of each item with intended learning indicators. The Aikens V coefficient was used to measure inter-rater agreement, with a threshold of 0.76 indicating acceptable content validity. All instruments met the criteria for high content validity. These findings confirm that the developed STEM-PjBL materials and assessment tools are valid and suitable for classroom implementation, offering strong support for enhancing students conceptual understanding, performance skills, and sustainability literacy in chemistry education
