Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Socio-Based Problem-Based Learning (PBL-Socio) model in enhancing the creative thinking skills of prospective physics teachers. Rooted in constructivist pedagogy, the PBL-Socio model integrates real-world social issues into the learning process to foster deeper engagement and higher-order thinking. A quasi-experimental design was conducted involving 53 undergraduate students from a physics education program in Indonesia, divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group engaged in PBL-Socio activities, while the control group followed conventional instruction. Students’ creative thinking abilities—measured through fluency, flexibility, and originality—were assessed using an open-ended instrument and analyzed with the Rasch measurement model. Results showed a notable improvement in the experimental group’s creative thinking performance, with a mean gain of +1.63 logits compared to +1.03 in the control group. Rasch analysis indicated more consistent performance, reduced score variability, and stronger alignment with high-difficulty items among students exposed to the PBL-Socio model. Further analysis through Differential Item Functioning (DIF) revealed meaningful differences across learning styles and educational backgrounds, emphasizing the importance of inclusive instructional design. The findings suggest that integrating socially relevant content into physics instruction can significantly enhance both the quality and equity of creative thinking development in teacher education. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting socially contextualized learning as a powerful driver of 21st-century competencies in STEM education.

Abstract

The increasing impact of climate change and the need for precision agriculture demand reliable environmental monitoring solutions.This study aims to develop a real-time, multisensor-based environmental monitoring system that displays data via an I2C LCD and a user-friendly web interface. The system utilizes an ESP32 microcontroller connected to a range of sensors, including the DHT22 (for temperature and humidity), MQ-7 and MQ-135 (for CO and CO₂), LDR (for light intensity), a rain sensor, and an anemometer (for wind speed). Testing was conducted over eight hours under various environmental conditions, both indoors and outdoors. Validation was performed by comparing the sensor readings with those from standard measuring instruments. The results showed that the DHT22 sensor had a low error rate of 0.62% for temperature and 0.38% for humidity. Other sensors demonstrated low standard deviation values, indicating stable and consistent measurements. The system also exhibited responsive and accurate performance in detecting changes in environmental parameters. Therefore, this system is effective as an environmental monitoring tool for agricultural applications and can support early decision-making based on environmental condition changes.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills (CTS) are among the 21st-century skills needed. Preservice physics teachers need CTS to solve problems critically, not only in academics but also in life. This research offers a comprehensive perspective and understanding of critical thinking skills as a framework for measuring the ability of preservice physics teachers. The approach is qualitative with methodology analysis, and the documentary content produces a theoretical competence framework. Findings are then applied to determine CTS indicators' relevant competencies, such as clarity assumption, interpretation, analysis, reason, and evaluation. Preservice physics teachers can understand and use these results to evaluate CTS. The research emphasizes optimizing CTS for preservice physics teachers because education is increasingly complex and dynamic.

Abstract

This study aims to explore inquiry-based experiments' educational aspects, levels of inquiry, and contributions to sustainability literacy. In this study, a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis were used. A systematic literature review in this study used a PRISMA flow diagram, and the bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOS Viewer. Using systematic literature review 79 articles were analyzed, focusing on three main aspects: pedagogy/education, levels of inquiry, and sustainability literacy. A bibliometric analysis was also used in this study.  A RIS format of articles was compiled and then used for the bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. The bibliometric analysis focused on network overlay, density visualization, and author and co-author relationships. The results of this study indicate that inquiry-based experiments significantly enhance students' understanding of scientific concepts, motivation, and essential scientific skills such as hypothesis formulation, experiment design, data collection, and analysis. This literature review also reveals a gap in integrating sustainability literacy into inquiry-based experiments. Although some studies have incorporated green chemistry principles and real-world applications, only a few explicitly promote sustainability literacy. This underscores an opportunity for future research to design inquiry-based experiments that more directly address sustainability literacy.

Abstract

Recognizing the critical contribution of the engineering field to national human resource development and innovation, coupled with the existing challenge of low student interest in engineering careers among Indonesian high school students, this study aims to analyze the influence of STEM Interest and Academic Self-Efficacy (ASE) on Engineering Study Intention (ESI) through the mediating role of Engineering-Oriented Career Identity (EOCI).  Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 695 students participating in the university entrance selection process. Instruments were adapted from prior validated studies and measured on a 1–6 Likert scale. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 3. Based on the processed data, the findings reveal that both STEM Interest and ASE significantly foster the development of EOCI among students (β = 0.420 and β = 0.425, p < 0.001). In turn, EOCI strongly predicts ESI (β = 0.654; p < 0.001). However, the direct effects of STEM Interest and ASE on ESI were non-significant, confirming that EOCI fully mediates the relationship. This indicates that students' motivation and confidence affect their intention to pursue engineering primarily through identity development. The model explains 45.1% of the variance in EOCI and 43.6% in ESI, with satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity and good model fit (SRMR = 0.039, NFI = 0.948). These findings affirm the importance of forming an engineering career identity in supporting students' transition to engineering education. Practical implications include strengthening motivational programs and engineering career exploration from secondary education.

Abstract

Environmental sustainability is a crucial concern for universities due to the environmental impacts of their operations, including energy use, waste, and transportation. As key actors, higher education institutions play a vital role in promoting sustainability by enhancing students' knowledge, attitudes, and active participation in sustainable practices. This study aims to analyze the relationship between environmental education, knowledge, attitude, and behavior. A total of 376 students of Universitas Negeri Semarang were involved in this study. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed online. Data analysis was carried out using the PLS-SEM analysis technique. The results showed that environmental attitude has a positive effect on student environmental behavior. However, environmental education and knowledge were not proven to significantly influence environmental behavior directly. Environmental education has been shown to play an important role in significantly increasing knowledge and attitudes towards the environment. In addition, environmental education can indirectly influence environmental behavior through the formation of environmental attitudes. The implication of this study shows that the universities and higher education policymakers need to emphasize strengthening positive attitudes toward the environment in environmental education curricula, rather than just focusing on increasing knowledge alone.

Abstract

Academic success, especially in science education, is greatly influenced by student engagement, but its effects vary depending on socioeconomic status and past performance, leaving gaps in how each type of engagement specifically impacts junior high students. According to research, these interactions require more investigation in order to guide focused interventions, fair policies, and instructional strategies that improve student engagement and science proficiency, particularly for diverse student populations. This study investigates the relationship between junior high school scientific achievement and student involvement, with a particular emphasis on the engagement indicators that most accurately predict academic performance. This study uses a correlational research design to quantitatively examine the direction and degree of the association between junior high school students' academic achievement in science and their level of student involvement. Participants in the study were 100 eighth graders (31% male, 69% female) from a public junior high school in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. There are two instruments used in the study, namely a questionnaire for student engagement and multiple-choice questions through online exams with the Pijar Sekolah application. Since all of the Spearman coefficients were weak and statistically insignificant (p > 0.05), the study found no significant correlation between academic achievement and student engagement (cognitive, behavioural, emotional, or social). These results suggest that engagement-focused therapies should be re-examined, and other indicators of academic performance should be investigated. In order to better understand these dynamics, future research should use longitudinal designs and include other variables (such as self-efficacy and institutional support).

Abstract

Science process skills (SPS) are fundamental to inquiry-based science learning and important for linking chemistry concepts with environmental issues. However, valid instruments to assess SPS in specific topics, such as salt hydrolysis, are still limited. This study aimed to develop and validate a multiple-choice test to evaluate eleventh-grade students’ SPS in the context of salt hydrolysis, emphasizing environmental chemistry applications. A research and development (R&D) design with five stages was employed: literature review, item development, expert validation, pilot testing, and finalization. Four chemistry education specialists provided expert judgment, and a pilot study was conducted with 150 eleventh-grade students from five high schools. Item validity, difficulty, discrimination index, and reliability were analyzed. The final test contained 28 items with a high content validity index (CVI = 0.90). Item analysis indicated two easy, 25 medium, and one difficult item. Discrimination indices classified five items as very good, 20 good, two sufficient, and one poor. All items were empirically valid, and the reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.891) demonstrated strong internal consistency. Compared with similar SPS instruments, this test integrated authentic environmental contexts, such as the impact of salt hydrolysis on water pH, thereby enhancing ecological validity. The instrument provides teachers with a reliable diagnostic tool to identify students’ strengths and weaknesses in SPS. Beyond assessment, the instrument supports formative and summative evaluations, integrates environmental issues into chemistry learning, and serves as a reference for developing similar instruments in other science domains.

Abstract

The low critical thinking skills and cultural literacy of elementary school students, along with the absence of teaching materials that integrate local wisdom into science and social studies (IPAS) learning, present challenges that need to be addressed. This study aims to develop a local wisdom-based IPAS e-module to enhance students’ critical thinking skills and cultural literacy. The research employed the ADDIE development model, encompassing the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, with feasibility tests conducted by material, media, and instructional experts. Practicality tests were carried out through one-to-one trials, small group trials, and field trials, while effectiveness tests applied a quasi-experimental design with control and experimental classes analyzed using pretest–posttest data and N-gain calculations. The results indicated that the e-module was rated “highly feasible” by all validators, with “highly practical” ratings from teachers and students. Effectiveness tests showed an improvement in critical thinking skills with an N-gain of 0.70 (high category) and an improvement in cultural literacy with an N-gain of 0.44 (medium category) in the experimental class, while the control class remained in the low category. This study concludes that the local wisdom-based IPAS e-module is effective as a learning resource for improving critical thinking skills and cultural literacy, while also serving as a medium for preserving regional culture in elementary schools.
