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

This study aims to measure the content validity of an AI-based automatic assessment system for scientific literacy instruments on green chemistry integrated with ethnochemistry using Aiken’s V index. The research design adopts the R&D model with the ADDIE approach, limited to the analysis, design, and development stages. A combination of quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods was utilized through purposive sampling, engaging 10 experts—chemistry education lecturers from UNS, UNY, UM, and high school chemistry teachers in Surakarta. Data were obtained through Focus Group Discussions (FGD), focusing on three aspects: context, language, and construct. Essay-based instrument items were rated using four relevance categories: irrelevant, less relevant, quite relevant, and relevant. Items with an Aiken index ≥ 0.73 were considered valid. The results showed that 1 question item had moderate validity and 14 question items had high validity, making them suitable for further testing. The questions were designed to assess students’ understanding of green chemistry principles and their ability to relate these to ethnochemistry practices—local cultural knowledge that supports sustainability. The formulation of the questions also demonstrated how the application of local culture can be interpreted through green chemistry to enhance scientific awareness and environmental responsibility. Based on the content validation results and subsequent revisions, the instrument is deemed ready to move forward to the limited trial stage.

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

In the digital era, students still face difficulties in understanding abstract physics concepts such as Ohm's Law and resistance, primarily due to conventional, teacher-centered instructional methods. This study aims to investigate the integration of the Higher-Order Thinking Laboratory (HOT-Lab) method with PhET virtual simulations to improve students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in learning about conductor resistance. Using an experimental method, students conducted virtual practicum activities via the PhET Interactive Simulations platform, specifically utilizing the "DC Circuit Construction Kit." The learning process followed structured HOT-Lab phases: identifying problems, hypothesis formulation, experimentation, data analysis, and result communication. Results showed a strong linear correlation (R² = 0.9999) between voltage and electric current, indicating that incandescent lamps can function as resistors under certain conditions, consistent with Ohm’s Law. Regression analysis further validated this with a model  ????=0.0554????+0.0021, and students demonstrated improved conceptual understanding and analytical reasoning. The integration of HOT-Lab with virtual labs is applicable in remote or resource-limited learning environments, promoting active, reflective, and student-centered learning aligned with 21st-century skills.

Abstract

Although the relationship between student motivation, self-perception, and achievement in science education is well established, there is still a lack of focused studies on these aspects at the lower secondary level, particularly in private school settings where student demographics and learning environments may pose unique challenges. The purpose of this study is to: (1) assess lower secondary students' motivation and self-concept in scientific learning; and (2), using correlational analysis and qualitative feedback, determine ways to improve these aspects. Using a quantitative descriptive survey design, this study assessed 60 grade 7-9 students from a private lower secondary school. The Students’ Motivation Toward Science Learning (SMTSL) and adapted Chemistry Self-Concept Inventory (CSCI) measured motivation and self-concept, respectively. Data analysis included mean scores for both variables and Spearman’s rank correlation (accounting for Liker-scale ordinality and non-normal distributions). A moderate-high level of motivation (Active learning strategies [ALS]=4.0-4.1 highest, Performance Goal [PG]=2.8-3.1 lowest) and self-concept (Positive Perception of Science Self Concept [PSSC]=3.8-3.9 highest, Mathematic Self-Concept [MSC]=2.9-3.2 lowest) with moderate positive correlation (r = 0.572, p < 0.001) underscores that self-concept and motivation are interrelated, suggests interventions should simultaneously promote active learning (to enhance ALS) while addressing mathematical confidence (to improve MSC). These findings suggest that teachers can boost engagement through active learning and confidence-building strategies, while school and policymakers should design targete interventions to support students with low scientific confidence and high performance pressure.

Abstract

North Maluku is one of the provinces in Indonesia, and two-thirds of its territory is in the ocean. Therefore, further exploration is needed to see how the distribution of discourse in online news media is related to the utilization of marine resources using sustainable principles through the blue economy. This study aims to describe the concept of the blue economy within the framework of sustainable development in North Maluku, with indicators of efficient use of natural resources, empowerment of local resources, zero waste, poverty alleviation, and employment absorption, based on news reporting by online media. The qualitative-descriptive method was used to analyze news from five online news media using NVivo 12 plus software. The results of the study show that: 1) the intensity of news reporting on the blue economy discourse based on indicators is dominated by the indicator of efficient use of natural resources for the Pikiran-rakyat.com, Mongabay.co.id, Kieraha.com, and Kabarpulau.co.id media. In contrast, Kompas.com is more dominated by indicators of the empowerment of local resources. 2) Word frequency analysis on the five online news media found that the keywords related to the blue economy in North Maluku boil down to issues of fisheries and marine management, mangroves, and waste. 3) Meanwhile, the cluster analysis shows that each indicator has a close relationship with different levels of closeness values. From the overall analysis of the news, it is concluded that implementation based on the principles of the blue economy has been carried out on several indicators, although not yet optimal.

Abstract

Global warming poses serious threats to marine and coastal environments, especially in island and shoreline communities like Kijang Kota in the Riau Islands, Indonesia. Despite the urgency of this issue, research on how students in such vulnerable areas understand and respond to global warming remains limited. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and environmental behaviors of junior high school students in Kijang Kota regarding global warming and its effects on the marine and coastal environment. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through tests and questionnaires from a sample of 304 students, selected through stratified random sampling. The findings reveal that students’ knowledge was generally low, with an average score placing them in the "poor" category. However, their attitudes toward environmental issues were "very good," reflecting high awareness and concern. In terms of environmental behavior, most students were in the "good" category, showing moderate engagement in eco-friendly actions. The results highlight a gap between students’ strong environmental concern and their limited understanding and actions, pointing to the need for more practical, context-based environmental education in coastal schools. This research offers insights that can help improve climate education and promote more sustainable behavior in island and coastal communities.

Abstract

This research looks at how the “Waste Management Go to School” program impacts students’ environmental information education. The study took place in schools involved with the environmental education effort run by the Bening Saguling Foundation in West Bandung Regency, Indonesia. Through simple random sampling, 370 students were selected using a quantitative approach. Questionnaires were used to collect information which was then analyzed with the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The researchers looked at three main parts of communication: the person speaking, the message and the channel for delivering the message. The results indicate that knowledge, awareness and attitudes, as well as skills, were all significant factors in student environmental information literacy. Having credible sources was found to be fairly important in helping students become more literate about the environment, according to the communicator variable. Media reports suggested that the right media can increase how interested and knowledgable students are about environmental matters. Also, the message part was found to matter most, pointing out that educational content should be both clear and involve the students. The results indicate that giving priority to strategic communication in schools should help enhance students’ environmental literacy. Research conducted here aids institutions in adopting better ways to teach environmental issues and serves as a reference for introducing sustainability into the curriculum at schools.

Abstract

Implementation of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) is crucial for cement manufacturers to enhance competitive advantage while minimizing economic, social, and environmental impacts. As a result, cement companies must assess, manage, and report the sustainability performance of their supply chains. However, there is no appropriate measurement framework to evaluate SSCM performance. This study designs a specific and relevant SSCM performance measurement framework, referring to global cement industry indicators, empirical indicators of Indonesian manufacturers, and validation of seven cement supply chain specialists. A systematic literature search was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to assign weights to performance indicators. This study develops an SSCM framework that integrates three aspects of sustainability: environmental, social, and economic. The framework consists of 22 performance indicators, including six environmental indicators, eight social indicators, and eight economic indicators. Testing the framework on leading cement company in Indonesia resulted in a strong performance score of 80.7. This study addresses the existing gap in research related to supply chain sustainability and, for the first time, provides locally developed SSCM performance indicators that are aligned with the context of the Indonesian cement industry. This study also discusses the implications of the developed SSCM framework for sustainability education and capacity building within the Indonesian cement industry, highlighting the importance of integrating environmental, social, and economic performance indicators into training programs and educational curricula to foster sustainable business practices.

Abstract

Formal education is curriculum-oriented with less practical exposure or time limit to practice, informal learning is life skills learning education since childhood from their parents and society. The COVID-19 pandemic and school closures indicate a loss of formal education and learning deficiency, knowledge, and skill gaps, which are the universal challenges for every teacher, parent, and student. Hence the present study explores to understand the activities of the garden activities to connect with textbook concepts. We interacted with 8923 students of Lower primary school, Higher primary school, and High school and 24,255 family members. The collected data from the semi-structured questionnaire for the students and family responses were analysed with descriptive and qualitative statistics. The findings revealed that the involvement was more with Lower primary school than Higher primary school and High school. The different classes of students, like the Lower primary school (rs = 0.85, p<0.003)involvement ratio, have a higher significance than Higher primary school (rs = 0.72, p<0.05) and High school (rs = 0.65, p<0.05). The significant involvement of parents revealed that the father gave more exposure to the skills than the mother. Whereas High school students experience and gain more skill knowledge for the textbook content concept was ideal than Higher primary school and Lower primary school. Further research can be focused on studying the impact of pedagogical links with home gardening and farming skills serve as an effective module to connect informal learning with formal education, with a modification in education curriculum and policy.
