Abstract

This study investigates vocational high school students’ misconceptions about renewable energy concepts using the Certainty of Response Index (CRI) and examines their relationship with environmental literacy and creative thinking skills. A descriptive quantitative design with a diagnostic approach was employed. The instruments consisted of a three-tier multiple-choice test for environmental literacy and a two-tier essay test for creative thinking, both validated through Aiken’s V (V = 0.75–1.00; valid–highly valid) and piloted prior to implementation. CRI analysis revealed substantial misconceptions, particularly in energy transition (67%) and marine energy utilization (50%). Students demonstrated stronger understanding of concrete topics (e.g., fossil energy impact, IoT integration) but struggled with abstract or unfamiliar content. Creative thinking performance was weakest in originality and elaboration, with errors linked to limited contextual exposure and insufficient inquiry-based learning opportunities. Notably, high confidence often accompanied incorrect reasoning, indicating entrenched misconceptions. Statistical analysis indicated a moderate positive correlation between environmental literacy and creative thinking (r = 0.56, p < 0.05). These findings highlight the potential of integrating CRI-based diagnostics with STEAM–SDGs-oriented, project-based, and contextual learning to address misconceptions, enhance environmental literacy, and develop students’ creative capacity. Such strategies are critical to bridging the knowledge–action gap and preparing students to tackle sustainable energy challenges in the era of the green economy.

Abstract

Most education systems have not fully supported the development of students’ critical thinking skills, partly due to the limitations of teaching materials that only refer to textbooks. Complex material such as Earth Structure requires a more contextual and meaningful approach. One strategy that can be used is the development of ethnoscience-laden e-supplementary teaching materials that link the material with local wisdom. This study aims to analyze the validity, practicality, effectiveness, and characteristics of Ethnoscience-Laden E-Supplement Teaching Materials to improve students’ critical thinking skills and cognitive learning outcomes. The research used the ADDIE development model with instruments in the form of questionnaires, validation sheets, pretests, and posttests. The results showed that the E-Supplement was feasible to use in learning, with material validity of 94% and media of 95% (very valid category). The E-Supplement was also effective in improving critical thinking skills (average 69%, high category) and cognitive learning outcomes (N-Gain 61%, moderately effective category). Practicality was rated very well by teachers (97.67%) and students (85%). The characteristics of the E-Supplement are contextual, practical, and easy to use, and they raise the ethnoscience of the Sikidang Crater legend to increase student involvement and understanding in learning.

Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at the senior high school (SMA) level emphasizes the execution of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5), which instills character values and local wisdom. However, the learning modules utilized in P5 typically draw inspiration from online sources and frequently neglect to incorporate local potential. On the other hand, the increasing prevalence of diabetes in Indonesia has become an urgent public health issue, while the use of local medicinal plants such as kesum (Polygonum minus) has not been widely integrated into contextual learning in schools. This study aimed to develop a research-based e-module on the medicinal plant Kesum (Polygonum minus) as an antidiabetic, integrated with the Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5). The development followed the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through teacher interviews and validation by nine experts in content, media, and language. Validation results indicated that the e-module was highly valid for use, with an average score of 86.82%. The practicality of the e-module was tested in a small group trial (1students), yielding a score of 80.75% (practical category), and in a large group trial (60 students), resulting in a score of 82.45% (highly practical category). The e-module was designed to support project-based learning by addressing local issues, strengthening students’ scientific literacy, and promoting local wisdom values. Therefore, this e-module is considered suitable as a contextual learning resource for implementing P5 in senior high schools.
