Abstract

The limitations of the available science modules, because they have not integrated local wisdom and recitation in the contextual learning process to support students' digital literacy. This study aims for the development of a digital science module because it is based on local wisdom containing recitation for improvements to student digital literacy within the junior high school level. This type of research researches as well as develops through adaptation of the four-D (4D) model with a qualitative approach regarding product trials. 4D has 4 stages that are definition, design, develop, also to disseminate. The design of the digital science module is on a local wisdom base. That program contains local wisdom of Sembalun Village, East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. The digital module's validity, practicality, and effectiveness were each put to a test. Experts on materials confirmed the test having 93.75% in a feasible category. Experts in media plus experts in recitation programs validated it, with 96.42% and 95% in a feasible category. The teachers' practical test showed 96% very practical as the students' small scale field trial showed 96% very feasible. The next test checks whether the digital science module effectively improves students' digital literacy since researchers measured it qualitatively, gaining an N-Gain of 0.54. Results from the t-test are at 0.008, meaning digital literacy increased differently before and after the learning. The novelty in this study is the local wisdom-based science digital module strengthens the digitalization of student learning and recitation contextually and holistically. This research includes local wisdom material and strengthening student recitation in learning

Abstract

Chemistry learning in vocational schools is often limited to general concepts and lacks connection with students vocational expertise, making it difficult for them to apply theory to practice in agricultural product processing. This study aims to develop acidbase teaching materials using the four-step teaching material development (4STMD) method for students in the agricultural product processing agribusiness program at vocational high schools. The research responds to the lack of curriculum-aligned and contextually relevant resources that integrate chemistry with vocational practices. The study employed development research (DR), focusing on the first two stages of the 4STMD method: selection and structuring. In the selection stage, materials were designed based on basic competencies 3.5 and 4.5, producing eight learning indicators and sixteen concept labels. Acidbase concepts were compiled from national and international textbooks and contextualized with agricultural applications, such as pH control in fermentation. In the structuring stage, concept maps, macro structures, and three levels of representation (macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic) were developed to link chemical theory with agricultural practices. The draft materials were refined through expert review to ensure clarity and scientific accuracy. The results indicate that the developed teaching materials are systematic, scientifically valid, and relevant to the curriculum. They also integrate substantive and pedagogical contexts that support students vocational learning needs. This study shows that the 4STMD method is effective for producing chemistry teaching materials that are structured, contextual, and applicable, thereby enhancing the relevance and quality of chemistry education in vocational high schools

Abstract

Physics learning is still often considered abstract and less interesting by students, so a more contextual and relevant approach is needed. Ethnophysics, which connects the concepts of physics with the local culture, is one of the alternatives to increase students understanding and interest. This study aims to identify and analyze the influence of ethnophysics-based learning on studentslearning interests and assess its impact on students understanding of physics concepts. In this study used mixed method with concurrent triangulation approach, where quantitative data obtained through Likert scale questionnaire and compared with qualitative data from students open questions. The results showed that the integration of ethnophysics in physics learning has a positive impact, with an average score of students understanding of 3.65 (high category) and increased interest in learning with a score of 3.56 (high category). In addition, the effectiveness of culture-based learning was also rated high (3.65) by students. Concurrent triangulation approach shows most students can benefit cultural integration in physics learning. However, there are still some students who have difficulty in applying physics concepts to numerical problems. Therefore, this study recommends the use of problem based learning (PBL)model in ethnophysics-based LKPD as a strategy to strengthen students problem-solving skills. The conclusion obtained from this study is that the integration of ethnophysics in physics learning can improve students understanding, interest, and learning effectiveness. In addition, the development of culture-based learning with the PBL approach is recommended as an innovative strategy that not only enhances the understanding of physics but also preserves the local cultural heritage

Abstract

This research is motivated by the limited infrastructure of physics laboratories in educational institutions and students science process skills (SPS) which are still in the low category. This study examines the effectiveness of implementing virtual laboratory-based worksheets in improving four main indicators of SPS: the ability to formulate problems, formulate hypotheses, identify variables, and design experiments. This study is a quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 35 grade XI students of SMA Negeri 1 Kota Langsa. The research instrument is in the form of validated pretest and posttest questions, compiled based on the four indicators of SPS being studied. Data analysis uses the N-gain test to measure the increase in the ability of each indicator of SPS. The results of the study showed a significant increase in all indicators of SPS with N-gain values: identifying variables (0.92; high category), designing experiments (0.69; medium category), formulating problems (0.56; medium category), and formulating hypotheses (0.53; medium category). These findings confirm that virtual laboratory based worksheets are effective as an alternative to physics learning in developing students SPS. This study recommends the implementation of virtual laboratories as an innovative solution to overcome the limitations of conventional laboratory facilities and support digital transformation in science education

Abstract

Research on chemistry education has consistently centered on students' conceptual and procedural knowledge. However, there is a clear need to prioritize how learners apply chemical thinking to address complex real-world problems. This gap highlights the need to understand how students and teachers connect molecular-level reasoning with broader social, ethical, and environmental contexts. A systematic review is the clear solution to address this issue. It will map trends, gaps, and strategies that foster the development of chemical thinking. This study provides a comprehensive overview of chemical thinking research in chemistry education through bibliometric and thematic analysis. A total of 59 scopus-indexed articles published between 2012 and 2025 were analyzed using the bibliometrix package in R and the biblioshiny interface. The analysis focused on publication trends, thematic evolution, collaboration networks, and instructional strategies. The results are clear: most studies target secondary and undergraduate learners, emphasizing causal reasoning, structure, property relationships, and representational competence. However, there are significant gaps in research concerning preservice teachers, assessment practices, and contextual approaches such as project-based and socio-scientific learning. Future studies must integrate reasoning, modeling, and sustainability-oriented frameworks. Effective strategies include inquiry-based, reflective, and socially relevant approaches. These approaches promote conceptual understanding and ethical reasoning. They offer valuable guidance for curriculum innovation and teacher education in chemistry

Abstract

The 2015 TIMSS and 2018 PISA results show that Indonesia's science performance remains below the international average and declined further in 2022. This indicates students weak critical thinking skills (CTS) in understanding scientific concepts. An effective and interactive learning model is needed. This study aims to compare students' CTS using the traditional game in problem-based learning (TG-PBL) model and the problem-based learning (PBL) model. The research used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group and purposive sampling. Statistical tests included the paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, and N-gain score. The independent t-test showed a significant difference between TG-PBL and PBL classes (0.000). The paired t-test showed a difference between pretest and posttest in both classes (0.000), with a greater increase in the TG-PBL class. The N-gain in the TG-PBL class was 0.57 (medium category), while in the PBL class it was 0.24 (low category). The highest improvement in the TG-PBL class was in the basic support indicator (0.630), while in the PBL class it was in strategies and tactics (0.398). The TG-PBL model is more effective in improving students CTS. It creates a more interactive, relevant, and innovative science learning environment in junior high schools
