Abstract

The reliability of pedagogical practice is highly dictated by how it enhances science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students’ critical thinking achievement. Adequate pedagogical practice is thus needed in line with the demands of STEM learning in the 21st century, namely achieving optimal critical thinking. This paper reports this pedagogical practice on a topic of polymer film fabrication irradiated with gamma rays. The specific objective was to analyze STEM students’ critical thinking performance in literacy of the aforementioned topic. It is an exploratory study with an experimental method. Only one treatment group was involved, they were STEM students attending the Material Physics Courses. By employing valid critical thinking instruments and adequate methods of analysis, the findings show that literacy on the assigned topic significantly improved STEM students’ CT skills. It was proven that the mean scores of CT indicators have increased in all aspects of the CT assessed. The statistical analysis confirmed that there were significant differences in the CT skills of STEM students between the observations before and after the learning process intervention. The implication of this study is that pedagogical interventions integrated with studies on advanced material modification technology could be effectively used for creating inspiring STEM learning, especially for training STEM students’ critical thinking ways.

Abstract

Students' difficulties in their experiences of the mathematics learning process are when systems of linear equations are integrated with real-world cases in everyday life. Students’ logical thinking is not strong enough to solve the problems presented. Finally, ways of creative thinking are needed as a basis for attaining learning competencies in the teaching materials of linear equation systems. On the one hand, an appropriate learning model is needed to encourage students' creative thinking. Therefore, this study aims to intervene in a mathematical problem-solving model on the linear equations system and analyze its impact on improving students' creative thinking abilities. To attain the research aims, a simple experimental method was applied with a one-group pre-post-test design. A valid essay test instrument was employed to measure students' creative thinking in the four aspects of creative thinking (fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration). Creative thinking data collected (pre-post-test) were then analyzed descriptively and statistically. The results of the study indicate that the model of solving mathematical problems in the materials of linear equation systems has a significant impact on improving students' creative thinking abilities. This finding becomes a reference in its application in the routine of learning mathematics, not only on linear equation systems but on other calculus materials.

Abstract

This study presents the results of a bibliometric scientific literacy analysis on science education subjects. The main objectives of this study are (1) to analyze trends in scientific publications on scientific literacy in science education subjects; (2) identification of networks between authors, institutions, and countries; and (3) to understand the structure and focus of research and teaching themes of scientific literacy on science education subject. This research uses 451 published documents from 2018-2022 from the SCOPUS database. VosViewer software is used to analyze and visualize research data. The results of the research show (1) scientific publications on the topic of scientific literacy in science education subject have increased significantly in the last five years; (2) research results on this topic are published in reputable scientific journals (ranked Q1 and Q2); (3) United States is the country with the highest number of documents, citations, and institutions; and (4) there are six groups of keywords used, namely scientific literacy, science education, nature of science, students, education, and teacher education. This study recommends that research at the primary and secondary education levels by taking into account aspects of SL traits can be carried out in future research.

Abstract

Critical thinking is needed as a guarantee of student success in solving a problem, and critical thinking training starts from students' learning experiences when they are in school. It is believed that one's skills in critical thinking influence student success in a broader spectrum of learning outcomes. It's just that the facts on the ground show that students are less well-established in critical thinking in science learning, this is based on the results of observations on teaching relating to the phenomenon of momentum and impulse. Overcoming this, it is important to provide learning experiences for students to train their critical thinking skills. The current study aims to implement the discovery learning model on materials related to momentum and impulse phenomena, and evaluate its impact on students' critical thinking skills. Through experimentation (nonequivalent control group design) studies have been carried out by including a control group (traditional teaching) as a comparison. Students' critical thinking skills are measured using adequate instruments and have met the elements of validity. Study data were analyzed descriptively and statistically. The results of the study show that students' critical thinking skills have increased after learning using the discovery learning model. Based on the size of the pre-post test, students' critical thinking skills increased from quite critical to critical, the increase (gain) was in the moderate category. Unlike the case with traditional teaching, students' critical thinking skills remain with less critical criteria. The difference in the improvement of critical thinking between the two groups (discovery learning vs. traditional teaching) was statistically analyzed. The results of the analysis confirm the research hypothesis tested that there are significant differences in critical thinking skills between groups (discovery learning model vs. traditional teaching) in the material of momentum and impulse.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of problem-based learning with a focus on character development and naturalist intelligence on critical thinking (CT) abilities and curiosity of students. The study was conducted in a school in the city of Mataram - Indonesia, utilizing a 3x2 treatment by level design. Two groups of students, categorized as having high or low naturalist intelligence, were exposed to three different treatments: problem-based learning with character development (PBL-CD), problem-based learning, and regular learning. Data regarding the students' naturalist intelligence and CT abilities were collected through tests, while information on their curiosity was obtained through observation sheets and self-assessment. Statistical analysis using MANOVA at a significance level of 0.05 was performed. The findings revealed that: (a) PBL-CD had a positive impact on students' CT abilities and curiosity; (b) the naturalist intelligence did not significantly influence students' CT abilities and curiosity; and (c) there was no significant impact observed on students' CT abilities and curiosity when examining the interaction between PBL-CD and naturalist intelligence. Thus, PBL-CD presents itself as a viable strategy to cultivate students' critical thinking skills and inquisitiveness, offering an alternative pathway in routine learning in the classroom.
