Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a Project KOMPLIT learning model (computational, critical, creative thinking, and literacy for elementary school students) in science education in elementary schools and to test the validity of the model that has been developed. The method used in this study is the development of ADDIE, with the research subjects being experts in elementary school science learning materials, models and languages, and practical tests for teachers, the instruments used in this study were test instruments, observations and questionnaires that included questionnaires assessing learning models, language and materials used. The data analysis techniques used in this study were quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques. The results of the study showed that the results of the needs analysis showed that most of the research on student computational, creative and literacy still needed to be improved so that the development of a learning model was needed. The learning model developed consisted of five steps based on complete thinking skills (Computational, critical, creative, and literacy) for elementary school students. The results showed that subject matter experts gave an assessment of 88%, learning model experts 90%, language experts 93% and the teacher 89%. The developed model is equipped with a teaching model book. Based on the results of the model development, it is known that the learning model is worthy of further testing in the student learning process to improve computational skills, creative thinking, and literacy in elementary school science education.

Abstract

Molecular geometry is one of the biggest challenges in science education. Since molecular structures exist at a microscopic level, students often struggle to visualize them in three dimensions (3D), making it difficult to understand concepts such as bond angles, molecular shapes, and electron pair interactions. This study explores the role of spatial ability in high school students’ understanding of molecular geometry. Using a quantitative descriptive method, the study examined the spatial ability and molecular science comprehension of 58 high school students. Data were collected using standardized tests, including the Mental Rotation Test (MRT), shape assembly, and 3D visualization for spatial ability, along with a molecular science comprehension test focusing on VSEPR theory. The results obtain that students' spatial ability is significantly low, with average scores falling far below expected standard. The results suggest the need for more effective teaching strategies that incorporate 3D visualization tools to enhance students’ ability. Future research should focus on interactive learning approaches, such as virtual simulations to help students better visualize molecular structures and improve their understanding of science concepts.

Abstract

Creative thinking as one of the 21st skills is not only beneficial but also essential, particularly in learning sciences. Creative thinking equips them with the cognitive flexibility to devise innovative solutions, consider multiple variables, and approach challenges from diverse angles, fosters critical reasoning and imagination, and enhances student motivation and engagement within science classrooms. This paper will focus on investigating the implementation of creative thinking in learning sciences based on the articles published in national accreditation journals in Indonesia. The content analysis approach was applied, leveraging the method of scanning published research journal documents as its research method. This study is distinctive from previous research on creative thinking skills in several ways covered on all educational articles published from 2015 to 2024 in all Indonesian science education journals. This study revealed that in the last three years, the number of publications focusing on creative thinking skills has increased. The most dominant research is quantitative research with quasi experiment as the research design. Meanwhile, junior high school students, and 'biology' with the subject material of 'environmental pollution' were consecutively the subjects, science fields of study, and topics most chosen by researchers. Project Based Learning (PjBL), test sheet, and N-gain were the most frequently used as treatments, instruments, and data analysis methods, respectively. The review highlights the need to increase the use of qualitative and mixed-method approaches, explore the integration of local wisdom and ethnoscience through R&D, and focus on developing instructional products to enhance students’ low creative thinking abilities. Additionally, researchers are advised to clearly report their research instruments, including validity and reliability, and to select data analysis techniques that align with their research objectives and design.

Abstract

Low reading interest among elementary students is a global concern that affects literacy development and academic performance. This study aimed to investigate how the application of constructivist learning theory, supported by environmental and cultural relevance, can enhance reading interest among fourth-grade students at Elementary School Unismuh Makassar. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was used, involving 30 fourth-grade students over two cycles. Each cycle followed the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were gathered through observations, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation to assess changes in reading interest and comprehension.The implementation of constructivist-based strategies increased the percentage of students who read regularly from 40% to 70%. Participation in group discussions rose from 60% to 85%, and reading comprehension improved, with 80% of students demonstrating a solid grasp of the material. Contextual materials based on students' local environment and culture played a significant role in fostering motivation.This study contributes to the field of education by demonstrating that constructivist learning, when adapted to local contexts and supported by culturally relevant materials, can significantly improve reading interest and comprehension offering a replicable model for literacy enhancement in similar educational settings worldwide.

Abstract

Awareness among Indonesian society regarding plastic use and its management remains alarmingly low. This highlights an urgent need to strengthen sustainability education and responsible environmental practices. The implementation of the Plastic Pollution Management Worksheet uses a practicum-based method to foster greater sustainability awareness by integrating critical reflection and problem-solving strategies in addressing plastic pollution. This hands-on approach also encourages pro-environmental behavioural changes among learners. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of the Plastic Pollution Management Worksheet in practicum on students' sustainability awareness before and after its use. A one-group pre-test and post-test design was adopted, involving 40 university students, with a self-efficacy questionnaire used to assess five key indicators of sustainability awareness. The findings indicate that the implementation of practicum with the Plastic Pollution Management Worksheet had a moderate impact on enhancing students' sustainability awareness, with the most notable improvements observed in cognitive awareness (understanding sustainability concepts) and social engagement. Although improvements were noted across all dimensions, the development of sustainable behavioural changes requires further time and reinforcement. In conclusion, the practicum with Plastic Pollution Management Worksheet demonstrates potential as an innovative pedagogical strategy in sustainability education, though its effectiveness could be maximised by integrating it with other complementary educational approaches.

Abstract

This research investigates the connection between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices and the value of firms within the Indian automobile sector. By conducting a thorough quantitative examination of ESG scores alongside financial performance metrics, it was discovered that robust ESG performance, especially in the realms of environmental sustainability and social accountability, is linked to improved financial results. Firms pouring resources into electric vehicles, minimising emissions, and prioritising employee well-being experienced enhanced market capitalisation and stock performance. The research highlights that the incorporation of ESG principles not only meets moral responsibilities but also boosts financial outcomes in a fiercely competitive international marketplace. The results indicate that Indian automobile firms can achieve considerable benefits by emphasising ESG considerations, and it is essential for policymakers to encourage these practices to foster enduring growth and sustainability.

Abstract

This article is the third in a trilogy, in which experimental activities involving classic symmetrical resistive circuits are proposed, where we draw attention to the fact that the use of halogen-incandescent lamps as resistors promotes an excellent visualization of symmetries or non-existences, through the comparison of the brightness of the lights, making the experimental activity a more playful and attractive practice for the student. This work aims to contribute to the small number of pedagogical experimental works involving symmetrical resistive electrical circuits, a proposal that approaches the subject in a playful and light way. Our methods use low-cost and easily accessible material. In the present paper, one focuses on the tetrahedral and octahedral cases. Both the theoretical development and the experimental analysis are presented and compared. The main implications are the importance of using arguments of symmetry as a pedagogical tool in solving problems (in the specific case, simplification-analysis of resistive electrical circuits) was evidenced in the analysis of the arrangements.

Abstract

This paper presents a literature review on the difficulties faced by students in Mechanics, carried out by consulting articles in journals, dissertations, and theses that address the subject. The research method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and the research focuses on publications in physics education, covering the first records on the subject, at the end of the 1970s, with a main emphasis on studies carried out in the last ten years and excluding the rarely cited older articles. The works found were selected because they were: highly cited articles, review articles, and recent articles in the main journals in the area (last ten years) and organized into four categories: i) spontaneous conceptions, ii) conceptual resources used by students, iii) constructivist methods and iv) engagement methods. In the works identified, it was found, for example, that there is a significant amount of publications that explore the subject, but a consolidated solution has not yet been observed. Furthermore, it is clear that the traditional methods of teaching physics contribute little to the understanding of basic concepts and that there is a shortage of studies that propose practical solutions to the problems experienced by physics teachers working in high schools. The research concentration is with higher education students, without a progressive development to address this problem from high school onwards.
