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

The environment is one of the values that the legislator seeks to protect and preserve, as it has granted it protection that is one of the most striking manifestations of the legal protection of the environment. This is due to the injunctive effect of sanctions through the extension of the rule of law via the judiciary. Each country, within the framework of its territorial sovereignty, has enacted laws and regulations to protect the environment and combat pollution, while accompanying this legislation with sanctions that force offenders to comply, because there is no point in enacting legislation designed to protect the environment if it is not accompanied by a sanction that deters the offender and restores the situation to what it was before. The results achieved include the strengthening of legal frameworks, progress in international law, varying degrees of effectiveness in the application of laws and the involvement of citizens in environmental justice.

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.

Abstract

In a context where sustainability has become a central issue for companies and territories, this study aims to identify the importance of new sustainable business models (NBMS) and their interactions with territorial creation value. This study is one of the first to use bibliometric methods to describe and analyze the evolution of the literature published on the subject. The bibliometric analysis method was based on a 25-year study on a data set (1999-2024), collected by analyzing 115 articles via Zotero in a reliable way and randomly by analyzing 1,648 via Web Of Science. Using the VOSviewer software, the visualization of bibliometric data offers a glance at the articles, authors, journals, countries and fields that have the most effect on territorial value creation and the emergence of new sustainable business models. The analysis summarizes the most influential papers, authors, journals, and research topics. The results show the occurrence of three study themes: sustainable business models, territorial creating value, and innovation. In summary, this publication highlights the key findings of the study analysis and makes recommendations for future research areas in the subject.

Abstract

Ethnoastronomy is a scientific field that explores the astronomical knowledge of different cultures through their traditions, offering perspectives distinct from conventional Western astronomy. This study examines the interplay between Science Communication and Ethnoastronomy, using Vygotsky's sociocultural theory as a foundation. A literature review was conducted to identify concepts that validate the interrelation of these areas, highlighting how Science Communication can foster fresh understandings. Moreover, this research delves into indigenous astronomical perspectives, specifically those of the Karajá Xambioá and Tupi-Guarani peoples, and presents an educational game designed for a diverse age group in an informal learning setting. The objective is to investigate how Science Communication, particularly through Cultural Communication, can effectively facilitate the dissemination of astronomical knowledge from various cultural backgrounds, with a focus on Brazil's indigenous peoples, thereby broadening perspectives and understanding. With this, materials were developed that brought indigenous culture closer to science teaching immersed in traditional and Western culture, with the aim of reducing the distances between different cultures.

Abstract

Student teachers and cooperating teachers are mandated to teach and impart to students the needed skills for them to become environmentally conscious citizens upholding sustainable and ecomonical practices. With that, the present study compares the green skills integration practices of student teachers and their cooperating teachers among secondary schools in a province in the Philippines as a basis for an enhanced instructional plan. The study utilizes the comparative design of quantitative research, wherein a questionnaire is used to gather data from 100 respondents (50 student teachers and 50 cooperating teachers) who voluntarily participated in the study. The study is implemented among public secondary schools in a province in the Philippines where the student teachers are deployed. As partners in the internship program, the cooperating teachers of the student teachers are included to compare their integration practices. A questionnaire is used to measure the green skills integration in the teaching practices. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent samples t-test) are used to analyze and identify significant differences in their integration practices. Findings reveal that cooperating teachers are more engaged in integrating green skills than student teachers, highlighting the need for enhanced training and support. A comprehensive learning plan, including targeted training and curriculum integration, is recommended to promote sustainable practices in education.

Abstract

This research focuses on the early development of GEMAS (Game for Microscopic Atom Simulation) as an innovative digital teaching tool designed to support instruction on phase structures in physics education. In response to the post-pandemic shift towards technology-enhanced teaching, GEMAS was developed to integrate interactive, simulation-based pedagogy that enhances conceptual visualization. The study follows the 3D model (Define, Design, and Develop) and employs Multifaceted Rasch Measurement (MRFM) for evaluation. Validation was conducted by five experts, assessing curriculum alignment, scientific accuracy, language clarity, visual arrangement, and instructional effectiveness. These dimensions align with best practices in e-teaching, ensuring accessibility, engagement, and pedagogical rigor. MRFM analysis confirms the tool’s validity, with positive average scores across all indicators. The findings suggest that GEMAS is a well-designed digital resource, ready for implementation to enhance physics instruction in post-pandemic educational settings. The implications of this study extend beyond validating GEMAS as a tool; it demonstrates how immersive 3D simulations can address persistent misconceptions in physics education, particularly in post-pandemic contexts where digital engagement is critical. By bridging abstract concepts with interactive visualization, GEMAS offers a scalable model for enhancing e-teaching practices and fostering deeper conceptual understanding among students.

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

In the 21st-century learning era, the quality of teaching materials is crucial in meeting current educational needs. This study highlights the urgency of developing a science literacy-based textbook for the Earth and Space course to enhance students' scientific literacy competence in the Physics Education Study Program at Mulawarman University. The research aims to analyze the necessity of such a textbook using the 4D development model, focusing on the Define phase to identify key learning challenges and curriculum needs. Data were collected through classroom observations, student questionnaires involving 42 participants from the 2023 cohort, and the formulation of learning outcomes aligned with the three scientific literacy competencies of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA): (1) explaining scientific phenomena (2) evaluating and designing scientific investigations, and (3) interpreting data and scientific evidence. The data analysis process involved data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the current teaching materials do not fully support the learning objectives, leading students to rely on fragmented online resources, often in English. The study also identified a strong demand for structured, interactive textbooks integrating scientific literacy. The validation process involved three expert validators using a Likert scale assessment. This validation resulted in eight valid learning outcomes (CPMK) with a corrected item-total correlation of r > 0.3 and a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.848, confirming high reliability. These findings provide a foundational framework for developing an Earth and Space textbook, ensuring its alignment with science literacy competencies in subsequent research phases.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of a scientific approach on the academic performance of 4th students in science. The scientific approach focuses on key processes such as observation, formulating questions, making connections, conducting experiments, analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and presenting findings, distinguishing it from traditional science education methods. Employing a quantitative research design with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group, the study targeted all Gugus I Gajah Mada Laweyan Surakarta 4th students. A sample of 120 students from eight elementary schools was selected, with participants divided into experimental and control groups, each comprising 60 students. Data collection involved both observational methods and essay assessments featuring 30 questions. The findings revealed a notable disparity in science learning outcomes between students instructed using the scientific approach and those who received conventional instruction. Specifically, students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly superior learning outcomes compared to their counterparts in the control group. The results of the study showed that the assessment of learning outcomes using observation sheets had a significant effect on teacher involvement during the learning process. The results of the Lillefors Statistical test show the difference between scientific and conventional classes, with the former showing a higher value of 0.95 compared to 0.87. This indicates that the use of digital learning media effectively attracts the interest of students and teachers.
