Abstract

Curriculum changes that adapt to current developments often create new obstacles in the implementation of learning. This study aims to analyze the problems and challenges in the implementation of the Natural Sciences (IPA) curriculum in Indonesia through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method and bibliometric analysis. Twenty-three scientific articles published between 2021 and 2025 were analyzed using the Publish or Perish (PoP) tool for bibliographic data collection and VOSviewer for research network map visualization. The analysis results show a significant increase in publications from 2024 to 2025, indicating that the Independent Curriculum topic is currently a primary focus of science education research. Keyword mapping resulted in three main clusters: difficulties for teachers and students in understanding and implementing Independent Curriculum-based science learning, challenges in implementing the Independent Curriculum and the role of science teachers, and contextual issues such as limited facilities, low scientific literacy, and the integration of local wisdom. The study also identified a research gap regarding the effectiveness of the Independent Curriculum in improving science literacy and student character. Therefore, improving teacher curriculum literacy, cross-institutional research collaboration, and strengthening science learning based on technology and local wisdom are needed to achieve contextual and modern learning.

Abstract

Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) constitute essential competencies in 21st-century physics education, particularly in problem-solving contexts that require analytical, evaluative, and reflective reasoning. This study investigates the extent to which procedure determination skills and symbolic equation analysis jointly predict students’ HOTS in physics problem solving. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 50 undergraduate students enrolled in a Science education program. Data were collected using Likert-scale instruments designed to measure procedural determination skills, symbolic equation analysis, and HOTS in physics problem solving. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, measurement model evaluation (including validity and reliability testing), and multiple linear regression to examine the simultaneous predictive effects of the two independent variables on HOTS. The findings indicate that both procedure determination skills and symbolic equation analysis are positively associated with students’ HOTS, with symbolic equation analysis demonstrating a relatively stronger contribution. However, when considered simultaneously, the two predictors explain only a limited proportion of variance in HOTS and do not yield a statistically significant joint effect. These results suggest that higher-order thinking in physics problem solving represents a multidimensional construct that cannot be sufficiently explained by procedural and symbolic competencies alone. This study highlights the necessity of instructional approaches and future research that integrate conceptual understanding, metacognitive regulation, and contextual reasoning to more effectively foster HOTS in physics education.

Abstract

Alignment between university-based teacher education curricula and school practices is essential to ensure that pre-service teachers develop adequate assessment competencies. This study aims to explore the gap between theoretical assessment concepts learned in higher education and the actual assessment practices implemented by pre-service science teachers during their teaching practicum in secondary schools. A qualitative approach was employed using in-depth interviews with pre-service teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers gained meaningful experience in conducting science learning assessments, particularly in designing assessment instruments and implementing classroom evaluation. However, a significant discrepancy exists between the ideal theoretical frameworks acquired at the university and the assessment practices in schools. School-based assessments tend to focus on cognitive evaluation through written tests, while the assessment of students’ skills and attitudes is not optimally implemented. This gap is influenced by curriculum misalignment, limited instructional time, and administrative demands.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the need to provide more interactive science learning that actively engages students, particularly in the topic of the Solar System, which is abstract in nature and requires visualization. The purpose of this study is to develop interactive learning media based on PowerPoint using the Canva application for seventh-grade students at MTsN 5 Nganjuk. This research employs a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which consists of the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects were 22 students from class VII-H. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, expert validation, and student response questionnaires. The validation results indicate a feasibility percentage of 87.5% from material experts and 89.5% from media experts, both categorized as highly feasible. The small group trial yielded a percentage of 80%, while the large group trial resulted in 73.46%, both categorized as moderately attractive. Based on these findings, the interactive learning media based on PowerPoint through Canva is considered feasible and sufficiently engaging for use in science learning. This media can enhance student engagement and facilitate the understanding of abstract concepts through clearer visualization. Therefore, it has the potential to serve as an alternative technology-based learning medium for teaching the Solar System in schools.

Abstract

This study examines the local wisdom of the Madurese community in Pamekasan and Bangkalan Regencies, which has been preserved as an integral part of tradition and spiritual values. Local knowledge serves as a guiding framework for the management of both terrestrial and marine environments, contributing to environmental conservation. This research aims to analyze indigenous knowledge based on local conservation concepts and to explore its potential as a resource for biology education. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing field study methods. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving communities that actively practice local wisdom. Data analysis was conducted to identify the forms and meanings of local knowledge related to conservation practices. The results specifically indicate that: (1) customary regulations govern the management of water springs, limiting exploitation and ensuring the sustainability of water discharge; (2) traditional agricultural practices implement cropping patterns and land-use strategies that maintain soil fertility; and (3) prohibitive values and customary rituals function as social mechanisms for preserving environmental sustainability. These findings reflect the integration of biological concepts such as ecosystem balance, resource conservation, and sustainability. Therefore, Madurese local wisdom demonstrates strong relevance as an ethnoscience-based resource for biology learning, particularly in linking scientific concepts with real-life contexts.

Abstract

Ethnoscience is one of the compulsory courses in the Science Education program. The implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) should be integrated into the ethnoscience course to enhance the awareness of prospective science teachers regarding the environment and sustainability. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the ethnoscience course program at a Teacher Training Institution (LPTK) in Riau Province. A case study methodology was employed, involving the analysis of ethnoscience course documents, observation and interviews with lecturers. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods based on the Miles-Huberman framework. The course implementation plan has met the established standards, and the majority of the learning outcomes align with the qualifications set by the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI). The ethnoscience course uses a research approach that examines the reconstruction of indigenous knowledge into scientific knowledge, though it has yet to emphasize sustainability literacy. Lecturers face challenges in accommodating the depth of content derived from student projects. Stakeholders should consider policies for collaborative teaching,like citizen science project in ethnoscience to support the optimization of achieving the course’s expected competencies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of learning interest in shaping science learning achievement among elementary school students through a systematic literature review approach. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by analyzing relevant articles published between 2015 and 2025, sourced from Google Scholar and Garuda databases. A total of 45 articles were initially identified, and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 20 articles were selected for further analysis. The data were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach through narrative synthesis. The findings reveal that 80% of the reviewed studies indicate a significant positive relationship between learning interest and science learning outcomes. Students with higher levels of learning interest tend to demonstrate greater engagement, stronger motivation, and better academic performance. However, the results also show that the influence of learning interest is not independent, as it is affected by other factors such as instructional strategies, learning media, and the learning environment. In conclusion, learning interest plays a crucial role in improving science learning outcomes among elementary school students. Nevertheless, its effectiveness depends on the integration of innovative teaching strategies and supportive learning conditions. This study highlights the importance of enhancing students’ learning interest through interactive and student-centered learning approaches.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of a guided inquiry learning model based on E-Modules on students’ problem-solving abilities. The research was conducted at SMA St. Petrus Kewapante. The sample consisted of 20 students, all of whom were included in the study. This research employed a quantitative method, which is based on objective measurement of numerical data to test the formulated hypotheses. The test results were analyzed statistically to determine significance, with the expectation of obtaining objective, measurable, and generalizable data in accordance with the population characteristics. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ problem-solving abilities after the implementation of the guided inquiry learning model based on E-Modules. This is evidenced by a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest mean scores (p < 0.001) and an N-Gain score in the moderate category (mean = 0.5024 or 50.24%). Furthermore, the results of normality and homogeneity tests show that the data are normally distributed and homogeneous, indicating that the parametric statistical analysis used is valid and reliable.

Abstract

Learning is a process of interaction between teachers, students, and their supporting elements, which are interrelated. However, in practice, students still have a low level of understanding of reaction rates, accompanied by suboptimal learning interest, resulting in less than optimal learning outcomes. One way to address this problem is to utilize engaging and interactive learning media, such as the chemical snakes and ladders game. This media is designed to help students understand the concept of reaction rates in a more enjoyable and meaningful way. This study aimed to determine the effect of using the chemical snakes and ladders game on student learning outcomes in reaction rates. The study was conducted at Waigete 1 State Senior High School using an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was carried out using SPSS. Analysis techniques included a normality test, an N-Gain test, and a hypothesis test. The results showed a normally distributed data with a significance value of 0.096 for the pretest and 0.184 for the posttest. The N-Gain test obtained a percentage of 53 percent, which is categorized as moderate. Descriptive statistical tests showed that the data were centered around the mean value. The one sample test produced a significance value of 0.001 which is smaller than 0.05 so H1 is accepted.

Abstract

The low science literacy of Indonesian students and the lack of environmental awareness remain urgent challenges in 21st-century science education. Indonesia consistently ranks among the lowest in PISA and TIMSS assessments, while environmental degradation from plastic waste and used engine oil continues to escalate. This systematic literature review aims to identify the scientific foundation and potential of developing a Green Chemistry-based STEAM Eco-Innovation Module through Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as an innovative learning framework capable of simultaneously enhancing students' science literacy and environmental awareness at the senior secondary (SMA/SMK) level. The review was conducted through a systematic review of recent peer-reviewed literature, supplemented by additional sources focusing on engineering aspects. Four major findings emerged: (1) the STEAM-PjBL approach is empirically proven to significantly improve science literacy and 21st-century skills; (2) the integration of green chemistry principles into learning modules effectively cultivates environmental awareness; (3) the utilization of PET/HDPE plastic waste, wood sawdust, and used engine oil as paving block raw materials has been experimentally validated, including B3 hazardous waste encapsulation engineering and controlled thermal melting processes; and (4) road-based piezoelectric technology can successfully convert pedestrian kinetic energy into clean electrical energy. The Lontara Piezoelectric Paving Block innovation integrates the local Bugis-Makassar cultural identity (Lontara script) with cutting-edge green eco-innovation technology. Three critical research gaps were identified: the absence of a locally contextualized green chemistry-based STEAM module in Indonesia, the limited integration of waste management and renewable energy harvesting into a single learning module, and the scarcity of studies specifically measuring environmental awareness as an outcome of STEAM-PjBL interventions at the SMA/SMK level.
