Abstract

Access to quality education remains a challenge in developing nations, including Indonesia. Augmented reality (AR) has emerged as a promising tool to address this gap. This review aimed to examine AR applications in education from 2001 to 2024, focusing on their impact on learning outcomes and accessibility. The study analyzed 171 articles selected through a systematic search in databases like scopus and IEEE explore. Key aspects reviewed include AR tools, applications, evaluation methods, and target demographics. Findings highlight ARs effectiveness in STEM education, vocational training, and cultural learning through features like 3D visualizations, interactive simulations, and animations, enhancing engagement and skill acquisition. AR aligns with sustainable development goals 4 (quality education), 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure), and 10 (reduced inequality) by improving access to education and reducing inequalities. However, challenges such as inadequate teacher training, limited infrastructure, and the need for localized content hinder broader implementation. The review concludes that AR tools should address pedagogical and contextual needs for optimal impact. Recommendations include expanding teacher training, improving access to technology, and developing culturally relevant content. Future research should explore scalable, long-term AR solutions to enhance global education

Abstract

Food waste poses a serious environmental challenge that requires not only conceptual awareness but also practical sustainability competencies. This study aims to profile vocational high school students sustainability literacy in the skills domain of food waste education as a preliminary step toward developing interactive learning media. A total of 36 Grade X students in Bogor participated in a field trial using a prototype e-book entitled Awas Food Waste. Students were assigned to solve a contextual case, design digital posters, and present their solutions in class. Poster texts (365 words) were analyzed through word-frequency techniques, while oral presentations were assessed using a rubric adapted from Murray and Cotgrave. Results showed that frequently used terms indicated both problem recognition (e.g., sisamakanan [food leftovers], food waste, sampah [waste]) and proposed solutions (e.g., kompos [compost], maggot, organik [organic]). The presentation scores averaged 3.53 (median = 3; mode = 3), categorized as sufficientgood, with 22.2% of students achieving a very good level. These findings reveal that students are able to identify and communicate practical strategies to reduce food waste, although the depth and innovation of solutions remain limited. The study highlights a gap between awareness and applied action, underscoring the importance of scaffolding through interactive e-books and other digital media. This preliminary evidence serves as a baseline for designing pedagogically grounded interventions to strengthen vocational students sustainability skills and foster responsible environmental behavior

Abstract

The low achievement of Indonesian students in science and numeracy, as reflected in the 2022 PISA results, highlights limited innovation and weak integration of numeracy in elementary science learning. Classroom observations at SDN 2 and SDN 1 Kalipucangwetan further revealed conventional, teacher-centered learning with minimal use of digital media. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the ekoterin e-module an ecosystem-based digital learning module integrated with numeracy to improve fifth grade students learning outcomes in the IPAS subject. Using the research and development (RD) method with the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation), data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and pretestposttest assessments. The e-module was designed using canva for website, converted into an android application, and equipped with interactive multimedia such as videos, games, and quizzes. Expert validation yielded an average feasibility score of 94.6% (very feasible), while teacher and student practicality tests scored 95.58% (very practical). Effectiveness testing, analyzed using a quasi-experimental design, showed a significant difference (p 0.001) between the experimental group (mean = 81.71; N-Gain = 0.56) and the control group (mean = 72.56; N-Gain = 0.36). These findings indicate that the ekoterin e-module is valid, practical, and effective in improving students IPAS learning outcomes, particularly in understanding ecosystem concepts and integrating numeracy in science learning

Abstract

The development of critical thinking skills (CTS) is essential for students to succeed in biology learning. This study investigates the effectiveness of mindfulness-oriented learning models in fostering CTS among high school biology students. Employing a quasi-experimental design, two groups of students participated in biology lessons: the experimental group engaged in mindfulness-based activities integrated into the curriculum, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data was collected using standardized CTS assessments and student reflection journals. The findings indicate that students exposed to mindfulness-oriented learning models demonstrated significant improvements in CTS compared to those in the control group. The integration of mindfulness practices not only enhanced students analytical and evaluative abilities but also promoted greater engagement and self-awareness during biology learning. These results suggest that mindfulness-oriented models hold promise as innovative pedagogical approaches for advancing CTS in biology education. Implications for curriculum design and future research directions are discussed

Abstract

Students often face difficulties in visualizing molecular shapes based on the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, which is an abstract concept in chemistry. To address this issue, instructional materials need to be developed to help students visualize molecular shapes more concretely. This study uses the research and development (RD) method with the 4D (define, design, develop, and disseminate) development model. The developed instructional materials include cards and an augmented reality (AR) application that allow students to visualize and predict molecular shapes in a tangible way. Validation was conducted by experts in media, content, and language, resulting in feasibility ratings of 98.1% for media aspects, 92.8% for content and language aspects, with an overall average rating of 95.45%. After making improvements to the media, an initial response test was conducted with students, yielding an average score of 90.5% with an excellent rating, and a main scale response test showed a percentage of 96.9%, also categorized as excellent. Based on the feasibility and response tests, the molecular shape cards (MoSCa) media is ready to be implemented in the learning process. The student responses to the initial scale test were 90.5%, and to the main scale test were 96.9%, both rated as excellent. The results indicate that the MoSCa media, based on augmented reality, is engaging and effectively supports students' understanding of molecular shape concepts

Abstract

To support the goals of sustainable development in education (SDGs), it is inseparable from the 21st-century learning framework. 21st-century learning has provided a framework known as 4C, one of which is critical thinking skills (CTS) and creativity. The critical thinking and creativity skills of high school students are still relatively low so they need to be improved. The purpose of this study is to create a suitable learning module (valid, practical, and effective) to support sustainable education. The method used in this study is the development method of Klein and Richey with a one-group pretest-posttest design type, the sample in this study was 180 high school students from various districts in Madura. The research instruments were validation sheets, implementation sheets, and pretest-posttest sheets. The results of this study indicate that the physics learning module integrated with artificial intteligence is proven valid with a validity level reaching 95% in the very valid category. Practically where the implementation of the learning module with this module reaches 95% is well implemented. The effectiveness of the module, with the N-gain analysis results, reached a score of 0.77, categorized as high. This result is reinforced by the results of the effect size test with a score of 0.57, which has a very positive effect on achieving learning objectives. Therefore, this module is suitable for improving CTS and scientific creativity so that it can achieve the SDGs

Abstract

The low level of students science literacy in Indonesia, as reflected in international assessments such as PISA, indicates that many students still struggle to understand and apply scientific concepts in real life contexts. This problem is often linked to the limited use of contextual and integrative learning approaches in science education. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the implementation of the STS approach to improve students' scientific literacy. The research method used is a SLR with a PRISMA design. Articles were collected from the google scholar database covering the years 2020 to 2025, and 20 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the review indicate that the STS approach is effective in improving science literacy by strengthening students conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and environmental awareness through active learning methods and the integration of digital media. However, challenges such as limited teacher competence, lack of training, and insufficient learning resources hinder optimal implementation. Therefore, efforts to improve teacher professional development and develop contextual learning media are essential to maximize the success of STS based science learning

Abstract

Argument driven inquiry (ADI) model is an instructional learning model that combines argumentation with inquiry-based learning. The ADI model allows students to argue actively in the learning process. Previous research studies have found that the ADI model is widely applied in the field of chemistry. This study aims to systematically synthesize research acles related to the ADI model that focus on independent and dependent variables, chemical concepts, and conclusions in chemistry learning. This study uses the systematic literature review (SLR) method for 22 articles from the google scholar, ERIC (education resources information center) and scopus databases in the period 2016- 2025. Search through relevant keyword patterns, namely "ADI" and "chemistry education", index, title and abstract. The findings show that: 1) The dependent variables that are widely studied place the ADI model as a learning model, laboratory instructions, and levels in the inquiry method and the independent variables appear in the cognitive aspect, 2) The majority of study articles focus on the chemical concept of chemical equilibrium, 3) Most studies on the ADI model state that the ADI model is able to provide a positive influence or increase in learning competence in chemistry learning

Abstract

Indonesia and the Philippines ranked low in scientific literacy based on the results of PISA 2022, reflecting that the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the curriculum of both countries is still not optimal. The level of STEM integration in textbooks represents how STEM is embedded in the curriculum at the national level. This study aims to investigate the integration of STEM ntegration in grade 8 junior high school science textbooks from Indonesia and the Philippines. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, six textbooks, three from each country, were analyzed using a rubric adapted from 24 indicators across six STEM integration pair combinations and three integration levels that are multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary. The results show that both countries textbooks dominant at multidisciplinary level integration, with science-technology (S-T) being the most frequently integrated pairs. Indonesian textbooks demonstrate a wider range of integration levels, including transdisciplinary tasks linked to real-world contexts, while Philippine textbooks offer broader pairs coverage, including technology-mathematics (T-M) and engineering-mathematics (E-M) that cannot be dound in Indonesian textbooks, but lack transdisciplinary examples. The findings highlight similarities in dominant integration pairs and integration levels, as well as key differences in depth and contextual relevance of STEM integration. The findings also indicate both Indonesia and Philippines already following the trend of STEM integration in developed countries that dominant at S-T integration, but both Indonesia and Philippines need to optimize the level of integration to at least interdisciplinary level. These insights can inform future textbook development and STEM curriculum implementation
