Abstract

The critical thinking skills of elementary school students are still relatively low, even though these skills are essential for facing the demands of the 21st century and global challenges. The low level of critical thinking skills is a significant problem in the learning process, so an innovative approach is needed to address it. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach in improving the critical thinking skills of elementary school students. This study was conducted at an elementary school in Ambon City at the 6th grade level that has implemented STEAM learning, involving 20 students as samples. Qualitative methods and a phenomenological approach were chosen to explore the students' experiences, perceptions, and learning processes in depth. Fifteen essay questions based on Facione's (1990) indicators were used to measure students' critical thinking skills, along with semi-structured interviews and documentation of STEAM project results as evidence of implementation. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and verification to ensure the validity of the findings. The results showed that the STEAM approach significantly improved critical thinking skills in interpretation, analysis, explanation, inference, and evaluation. However, students still needed further assistance in independently managing the critical thinking process in self-regulation. In conclusion, STEAM-based learning has been proven effective in stimulating critical thinking skills through contextual and collaborative learning models relevant to real-life situations and encouraging student cooperation.

Abstract

Global environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, and ecosystem degradation require urgent responses, and education plays a strategic role in building environmental literacy. This study aimed to evaluate the readiness of higher education curricula in supporting sustainable learning in Environmental Chemistry courses and their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research used a descriptive approach involving curriculum and lesson plan analysis, student surveys, and interviews with lecturers and program heads at a state university in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The findings show that while the curriculum includes relevant topics such as pollution and climate change, the integration of emerging issues and practical learning methods remains limited. Students demonstrated positive attitudes and awareness toward environmental sustainability, but their active involvement in practical actions was still low. Recommendations include the explicit integration of SDGs in course plans, diversification of teaching strategies through fieldwork and case studies, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Overall, the study concludes that the curriculum provides a strong foundation but requires strategic improvements to enhance its relevance and impact. Aligning academic programs with global and local environmental challenges will enable higher education to prepare students as proactive agents of sustainable development.

Abstract

Waste upcycling is often seen as a scattered concept, difficult to be put into practice in an educational yet scientific context. The idea is to provide an educational experience able to supply the students a wider perspective over how waste can be brought back into the productive system, until at all possible not. Outsourcing and characterization of waste, production of biofilms, home composting experiments. The experimentation gives a practical view of what is meant by circular economy moreover suggesting ideas about possible options for selecting waste and starting characterising it. In particular, it offers indications about the scientific method for testing materials including waste and being aware of their end-of-life, which all have influence on sustainability of the process. Ideally, depending on the time allotted for experiments, the work can be repeated iteratively to improve the results. Also, a database about possible local waste for DIY production of bioplastics can be generated over time, including considerations about ease of outsourcing, availability, seasonality, etc.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education offers new opportunities to address complex science concepts, yet its interaction with learning styles remains underexplored. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the learning styles of pre-service environmental science teachers and examine how AI-based instruction supports their understanding of electric fields. Using a mixed-methods design, 72 undergraduate students completed the VARK questionnaire, pre- and post-tests on electric field concepts, and participated in interviews. The findings showed significant improvement in conceptual understanding after AI-based learning, with visual and kinesthetic learners benefiting most from simulations and interactive tasks, while aural and read/write learners showed limited gains. Implications: The study highlights the potential of AI to enhance learning through multimodal engagement, but also emphasises the need for inclusive designs that move beyond learning styles toward broader pedagogical frameworks.

Abstract

Global ecological crises demand sustainability education that integrates cultural and ecological values beyond formal and Western-oriented frameworks. Traditional performing arts offer holistic pedagogical resources through embodied, symbolic, and participatory practices, yet their potential remains underexplored in sustainability discourses. In Indonesia, the Pakarena Anida Dance of South Sulawesi exemplifies how ritual gestures, ornate costumes, and narrative symbolism function as cultural texts transmitting ecological ethics and community values. However, limited scholarship has examined how female dancers operate as custodians of both cultural heritage and environmental responsibility. This study employs a descriptive qualitative design, drawing on anthropology, semiotics, and cultural studies to analyse the symbolic representation of female dancers in South Sulawesi traditional performances. Multi-sited fieldwork was conducted in Makassar City, Wajo Regency, and Toraja Regency, involving 29 purposively selected informants—including cultural leaders, senior dancers, troupe members, and audiences. Data were collected through performance observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of manuscripts and visual records. Analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, supported by thematic and interpretive strategies. Findings reveal three key insights. First, Pakarena Anida embodies conservation values through symbolic movements—such as bowing and circular formations—that signify humility and ecological balance. Second, the dance functions as informal education, with rehearsals and performances serving as “schools without walls” where intergenerational ecological and moral wisdom is transmitted. Third, costumes, music, and ritualised gestures operate as cultural codes that internalise local values, reinforcing identity, humility, and responsibility across generations.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of implementing the Technological Pedagogical and Science Knowledge-Contextual (TPASK-C) practicum model in improving the self-efficacy and research skills of prospective biology teachers. This study employs a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. Research data were collected using tests and non-tests. Test data were used to collect research skills data. Self-efficacy data were collected using questionnaires. Research data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative techniques, as well as effect-size analysis, to analyze the effectiveness of the treatment given to the tested variables. The results of the study found that the TPASK-C practicum model made a significant contribution to the formation of self-efficacy and research skills in prospective biology teacher students. The results of the t-test on the achievement of self-efficacy and research skills showed a sig. α <0.005, which indicated a significant difference between the two classes tested. Effect size testing showed Cohen's d values ​​(1.338 and 1.469), indicating that TPASK-C is effective in equipping students with self-efficacy and research skills. The results of this study are expected to be an alternative practicum model that can be widely applied in teacher training institutions (LPTK) to facilitate efforts to improve self-efficacy and research skills in prospective biology teacher students in Indonesia.

Abstract

Although feasibility (practical accessibility) and meaningfulness (personal relevance) are established drivers of participation in non-formal education, their direct impact on learning outcomes, specifically sustainability awareness within Japanese Community Learning Centers (CLCs), has not been empirically established. This research addresses this research gap by examining how perceived feasibility and meaningfulness of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) activities affect sustainability awareness among participants in CLC in Japan. Using a mixed-methods case study approach, quantitative data were collected from 370 participants at Misonou Community Center in Hiroshima and analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM), complemented by qualitative insights from 30 follow-up interviews. Results indicated that both feasibility (β = 0.32, p < .001) and meaningfulness (β = 0.48, p < .001) significantly predicted sustainability awareness, collectively explaining 56% of variance, with meaningfulness showing stronger predictive power. These findings provide an empirically validated framework for ESD program design, suggesting that practitioners should adopt a dual-focused strategy that reduces logistical barriers while collaboratively developing curricula that reflect local contexts and participant values. This evidence-based approach enables CLCs to effectively support national sustainability objectives and promote environmental consciousness.

Abstract

The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven the emergence of smart home innovations that not only provide convenience but also contribute to energy efficiency and resource conservation. This study aims to develop an IoT-based smart home prototype using the ESP8266-12e module to control lights and solenoid valves that function as water faucets. The system operates in two modes: automatic mode, utilizing light-dependent resistors (LDRs) and ultrasonic sensors, and manual mode through a web-based control interface. The method in this study uses an experimental method consisting of a literature review, hardware and software design, implementation, and testing. The results show that the system functions reliably and remains stable within a Wi-Fi connection range of up to 21 meters. Furthermore, this prototype shows potential as a project-based learning medium in science and technology education, particularly in the context of sustainability education. By integrating the concepts of electricity and water conservation, this study contributes to increasing scientific literacy while supporting sustainable household practices.

Abstract

This article aims to picture the environmental literacy of the pre-service science teachers at Universitas Muhammadiyah Riau (UMRI). The highlighted environmental literacy consists of aspects of knowledge, attitudes and behavior of students related to environmental issues which are also part of the two themes of Educational for Sustainable Development (ESD), namely the theme of water and the theme of energy. Data were obtained through validated test items and questionnaire instruments. The results of this study obtained that students' environmental literacy was in the sufficient category, with an overall average percentage of environmental literacy for prospective science teacher students of 59.19. In addition, it was also obtained that the average percentage of environmental literacy of female students for the three aspects was higher than that of male students, although statistically it was concluded that there was no difference in environmental literacy of male students compared to female students. These results indicate that it is necessary to innovate lectures so that students' environmental literacy increases. One of the potential courses is Environmental Education which can be implemented on a project basis in accordance with the issues or themes in ESD.
