Abstract

Experiments are fundamental to physics education but are often hindered by resource constraints. This study investigates the effectiveness of teacher training using 3D Virtual Labs (3DVL) compared to Traditional Labs (TL) in teaching the electron charge-to-mass ratio (e/m). The research aimed to quantitatively compare the impact of these methods on teachers' and students' conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and experimental skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving 32 teachers and 131 students, utilizing a pre-test/post-test comparison structure. Teachers received training in either 3DVL or TL methods before applying the instruction in their classrooms. The results indicate that both 3DVL and TL groups improved significantly (p < .001) in conceptual mastery and problem-solving abilities. While no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups’ overall post-test scores, TL showed a slight advantage in problem-solving, whereas 3DVL was associated with higher student confidence and perceived experimental skill improvement. These findings suggest that 3DVL is a viable, cost-effective alternative to traditional equipment. The study concludes that integrating virtual simulations can effectively overcome infrastructure limitations and enhance learning outcomes in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract

Human behavior that impacts climate change is increasingly out of control, which is very worrying for the survival of future generations. The weak climate-action skills of prospective science teachers, along with their daily activities that have the potential to cause climate change, need to be addressed. This study aims to integrate community outreach into the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards so that prospective science teachers are skilled at preventing climate change. This study uses a mixed-methods embedded experimental design with a quasi-experimental component. Community outreach is integrated into the three dimensions of NGSS to develop the climate action skills of prospective science teachers by learning from community habits for climate change prevention practices. The study results showed that prospective science teachers are increasingly skilled at preventing climate change by planting trees and sorting organic and inorganic waste, thereby demonstrating economic potential. Integrating community outreach into the three dimensions of NGSS is a new strategy to prepare prospective teachers who are aware of being agents of sustainable climate change prevention.

Abstract

This study examines the potential of Megapodius reinwardt as an ecotourism attraction and learning resource, as well as the implications of ecotourism-based contextual teaching and learning (CTL) on students' science process skills. The approach employed was a mixed-methods design in both the experimental and control classes. Science process skills data were collected through observation and written pre-tests and post-tests in both groups. Data analysis was conducted both quantitatively and descriptively, as well as qualitatively. Quantitative analysis was conducted on ecological indices, resource use, and the implications of CTL on science process skill. The seven groups of experimental students identified 14-16 characteristics of M. reinwardt, including eight unique aspects: nests in the form of mounds of soil mixed with litter, built cooperatively, used collectively, repeatedly, large eggs, buried in the ground, do not incubate their eggs, and do not raise young. Four environmental factors have a big effect on how many M. reinwardt there are: how far away they are from the river channel, what kind of trash they are in, how bright the light is, and how dense the vegetation is.  The        N-gain analysis of post-test scores between the experimental and control classes, employing the Mann-Whitney Test, produced an Asymp Sig value of 0.00 ≤ 0.05, signifying a substantial enhancement in students' science process skills within the experimental class.  Ecotourism-based CTL has beneficial and substantial effects on students' scientific process skills while concurrently facilitating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through community empowerment, economic enhancement, environmental preservation, and the advancement of sustainable education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness and ease of using digitally integrated project-based contextual physics resources in strengthening students' critical thinking skills, to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG-4). The research method used was a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involving senior high school students in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. The results showed that digitally integrated project-based contextual physics resources were effective in improving students' critical thinking skills with a significance level of <0.05. The findings revealed a substantial improvement in students' critical thinking skills, indicated by an increase in the mean score from 28.23 (pre-test) to 70.07 (post-test). In addition, the contextual physics resources were also considered very easy to use by teachers and students in the physics learning process, with an average practicality score of >80%, categorized as "very practical. The conclusion of this study indicates that digitally integrated, project-based, contextual physics resources can be an innovative learning strategy that supports efforts to achieve SDG-4 by strengthening students' critical thinking skills. The implications of this study open the door to the development of other learning approaches aligned with the demands of 21st-century education and the continuous improvement of educational quality.

Abstract

Teachers’ narratives on strategies for enhancing scientific curiosity in secondary public schools are significant, particularly for uncovering the different approaches science teachers use to cultivate students' curiosity in science education. This research aimed to uncover teachers' narratives about strategies to enhance students' scientific curiosity. This study also examined science teachers' perspectives on scientific curiosity. It utilized a qualitative research design, specifically a narrative inquiry approach. The data were obtained from four junior secondary school science teachers at one school in the central Philippines using a triangulation method: one-on-one interviews, essays, and focus group discussions. The involved conversation partners were determined using a purposeful sampling. Four themes were forwarded based on the original statements of the conversation partners: pedagogical approaches to enhance curiosity, including fostering an active learning environment and resilient instruction to meet students' needs; instructional challenges and difficulties; and scientific curiosity as a curiosity-driven inquiry. This study highlights integrating pedagogical strategies that enhance students' scientific curiosity into daily instruction. Schools should design professional development programs that emphasize curiosity-enhancing teaching methods. The research findings have major consequences for how teachers implement and use pedagogical approaches that cultivate scientific curiosity and for how students engage in the lesson based on the strategies teachers use.

Abstract

Despite global reforms in science education that emphasize collaboration, critical thinking, and real-world application, many secondary students continue to struggle with scientific reasoning and communication, particularly in Biology. This study addresses this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of the Critical Analysis and Discussion Comparison with Extended Learning Community (CADC-ELC) method in enhancing students' written and oral communication and cognitive performance. Employing a quasi-experimental design with 90 tenth-grade students in Indonesia, participants were divided into three groups: CADC-ELC, CADC-only, and conventional instruction. Data were collected using validated observation sheets and a 30-item cognitive test and analyzed using the Games-Howell post-hoc test. Results revealed that CADC-ELC significantly outperformed other groups in all areas: written communication improved from M = 31.0 to 70.3, oral communication from M = 9.1 to 17.06, and cognitive scores from M = 33.3 to 83.1 (all p < .001). These findings suggest that CADC-ELC offers a robust, globally relevant model for strengthening science education through dialogic, scaffolded, and context-rich instruction.

Abstract

This bibliometric study analyzes 31 Scopus-indexed publications on non-STEM students in undergraduate science programs from 2017 to 2025, covering 23 sources and reporting an annual growth rate of 9.06% in research output. Using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer, the study examines publication trends, citation performance, collaboration structures, and thematic patterns. The earliest article in 2017 has a mean citation count of 27.44 per year, and the overall collaboration index indicates that multi-authored papers predominate, reflecting moderate to high co-authorship intensity in this niche field. Results show that the United States leads in publication volume and citation impact, followed by Hong Kong, Germany, Brazil, and China, while most other countries contribute only 1 or 2 articles. A small group of authors, institutions, and journals accounts for a large share of documents and citations, indicating a concentrated authorship and source structure. Keyword and thematic analyses reveal that research is primarily organized around course-level themes such as performance, engagement, and teaching approaches, with equity-, gender-, and policy-related topics emerging only in recent years as smaller, low-density clusters. These findings provide a baseline for understanding how research on non-STEM learners in science programs is distributed across authors, outlets, countries, and themes, and where further empirical work is needed to broaden and deepen this research area.

Abstract

Developing Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) remains a major obstacle in the global drive for STEM education in the twenty-first century, especially in complex subjects like stoichiometry. Although Inquiry-Based Learning with STEM (IBL-STEM) fosters critical thinking and Canva is frequently used for educational design, no previous study has combined these strategies to solve the conceptual challenges of stoichiometry. This study aimed to create and verify a Canva-based stoichiometry teaching resource and examine its effectiveness in improving chemistry students' HOTS. We created interactive Canva modules with guided inquiry tasks, molecular visualization, and HOTS assessment using the ADDIE paradigm (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The materials were tested with 62 students using pre-test/post-test comparisons and validated by three chemistry education specialists (mean feasibility scores: 4.71 for content and 4.74 for media). With post-test scores (76.94 ± 6.61) significantly surpassing pre-test findings (35.71 ± 6.36), the intervention significantly improved HOTS (mean gain: 41.23 ± 9.33, p < 0.001). The results of this study indicate that the Canva-IBL-STEM model is valid for implementation in stoichiometry learning and has been shown to improve students' HOTS abilities. The findings provide educators with a model for inquiry-driven, technology-enhanced learning that connects design tools with profound conceptual knowledge.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were: (1) to analyse the characteristics of focused attention behaviour during science learning in ADHD students; (2) to identify learning strategies implemented by teachers to improve focused attention in ADHD students; and (3) to analyse the improvement of focused attention. The method used was the Mix Method Sequential Exploratory. This study was conducted at the Sunan Kudus Special Elementary School (SES). Data collection was conducted through observation and interviews. The research instruments were observation sheets and interview sheets. Qualitative data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, while quantitative data were analysed using t-tests and n-gain tests. The results of the study indicate that the characteristics of the focused-attention pattern among ADHD students are that they always respond to distractions in their learning environment. Students can complete assignments, but are unable to avoid distractions in their surroundings, which often disrupts their focused attention. The learning strategy implemented involves the teacher developing several practical approaches, intuitively and contextually, to manage student attention during learning. Science learning is designed to activate students in observation and discussion activities. The results of the t-test show a t value of -12.0, which is smaller than 0.05, indicating a difference in the focus of student attention before and after science learning with the teacher-implemented strategies. The results of the group N-Gain analysis show an average N-Gain obtained of 0.103, which is in the low category. This low N-Gain value confirms that the learning intervention has not produced substantial improvements in student attention and focus, indicating that more varied and contextual learning strategies are needed.
