Abstract

Continuous curriculum updates are crucial for enhancing the quality of education, improving citizens' global competitiveness, and supporting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, particularly the goal of achieving quality education for all. International studies, such as PISA, have attracted many researchers interested in comparative curricula across PISA-participating countries. Unlike previous studies, this research compares the science curricula of Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, and Canada based on the science content tested in the PISA 2015, PISA 2021, and PISA 2025 frameworks. The method used in this study is content analysis. We searched for documents from the four countries on their respective Ministries of Education websites. After obtaining the documents, two researchers independently conducted the coding analysis. After that, the researchers validated the content analysis through inter-rater agreement. The results show that the science curricula of Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, and Canada do not specifically cover all content in the PISA 2015, PISA 2021, and PISA 2025 frameworks. Specifically, Singapore's curriculum documents do not cover Earth and Space System content, while Labrador, Alberta, and British Columbia cover all themes. The Indonesian science curriculum encompasses all themes assessed in PISA questions and the PISA 2025 framework, although it does not yet cover all topics. However, it remains challenging to pinpoint the reasons for the differences in PISA results among the four countries in this comparative study.

Abstract

The integration of local wisdom into science learning is a global pedagogical trend that leads to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 4). Local wisdom serves to make scientific concepts contextual, meaningful, and culturally relevant for students. The challenge of contextual implementation can be addressed through interdisciplinary approaches such as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), which serve as a bridge between local wisdom and education. This systematic literature review (SLR) modified with Bibliometric Analysis aims to map the global research landscape on the integration of local wisdom and STEM in formal science education from 2014 to 2024. A total of 155 articles indexed in the Scopus database were analyzed using Bibliometric analysis tools, including VOSviewer, Microsoft Excel, and Datawrapper. The results show an increase in publications post-pandemic, driven by the urgency of advancing SDG 4 and the need for adaptive learning innovation. Geographically, research is concentrated in the United States, Indonesia, and South Africa, with global collaborations indicating this issue as a transnational agenda. An in-depth review of 21 inclusive articles reveals a predominance of qualitative-exploratory approaches. Subject distribution indicates a strong focus on General Science Education, Environment/Ecology, and Biology. Furthermore, research is predominantly focused on higher education and junior high school levels, while high school and elementary school levels remain underrepresented. The study's conclusions highlight the central role of STEM as a bridge in integrating local wisdom.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and theoretically support an adaptive model for teaching biochemistry in pedagogical universities based on Kaizen and the Plan, Do, Check, and Act (PDCA) continuous improvement cycle, as well as to analyse its adaptability to Kazakhstan’s teacher education system by comparing it to international educational practices. Mixed-methods educational Research and Development was used in the project. Theoretical modelling, pedagogical design, document analysis, a qualitative comparative study of Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, and design-based research were used. Kaizen diaries, reflective student reports, and teacher observation procedures collected qualitative data, while descriptive statistics of students’ learning performance and progress dynamics throughout PDCA cycles included quantitative data. The study created a theoretical model of an adaptive biochemistry course using the PDCA stages to plan didactic material, conduct classes with self-control, reflect on learning outcomes, and adjust content. Individualised educational paths, weekly student progress diaries (“Kaizen journals”), knowledge microchecking, and pedagogical time management were major model components. We proposed using interdisciplinary aspects, such as the Fibonacci sequence, to explain protein molecule spatial arrangement, merging biochemistry with arithmetic. Students were given unique autonomous work activities to build modelling, spatial and logical analysis skills. International practices for implementing Kaizen in higher education in Japan, Singapore, and South Korea were analysed to find effective approaches, gamified monitoring tools, mobile applications, and Lean Six Sigma integration for Kazakhstan teacher education.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop and implement project-based teaching materials with a STEM-ESD approach. These materials use a water theme in Science courses to strengthen the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 4 by improving students' critical thinking skills and sustainability consciousness. This research uses a mixed-methods approach with an Embedded Experiment Model design. The research instrument was developed through a validation process by 10 experts and a trial on 62 science education students to ensure validity and reliability. Implementation was carried out on a sample of 28 students from one university in Indonesia. Data collection used expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, critical thinking tests, and sustainability consciousness scales. Analysis was carried out using Fuzzy Delphi Methods, the Rasch Model, N-Gain, and t-tests. Validation results showed that the teaching materials were very feasible to use (average validity of 89%). Empirical tests showed significant increases in critical thinking skills (N-gain = 0.39, medium effect size) and sustainability consciousness (N-gain = 0.30, low effect size). These findings confirm that implementing the PjBLSTEM-ESD model effectively contextualizes science concepts with sustainable development issues. It significantly supports the achievement of SDG 4 through meaningful and transformative education.

Abstract

Effective laboratory safety is central to quality science education, yet limited evidence exists on Malaysian teachers' preparedness and adherence to safety standards. This pilot study aimed to validate an instrument measuring knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward laboratory safety and to explore preliminary findings among pre-service secondary school science teachers. A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted with 30 pre-service teachers from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Data was collected using a self-developed KAP questionnaire and a safety facilities checklist, both reviewed by experts for content validity. Item analysis was used for knowledge questions, while internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha for attitude and practice domains. Descriptive statistics summarised KAP levels and the availability and functionality of safety facilities. Knowledge items showed acceptable difficulty (p = 0.50–0.80) and discrimination (D = 0.30–0.80). Reliability was strong, with Cronbach's alpha values of 0.901 (attitude) and 0.905 (practice). Most respondents demonstrated high knowledge (70%) and universally positive attitudes (100%), yet practices were less consistent, with 23.3% reporting only moderate adherence. Laboratory facilities were largely available (87.5%), but functionality was low (32.7%), with deficiencies in safety data sheets (36.7%), chemical expiry records (40.0%), and first aid kits (56.7%). This pilot study highlights a disparity between pre-service teachers’ knowledge and their actual laboratory practices, further constrained by poorly maintained safety facilities. The reporting of validity and reliability findings demonstrates that the instrument is robust and suitable for larger-scale investigations. Strengthening laboratory safety in schools requires targeted professional development, systematic facility maintenance, and consistent monitoring mechanisms.

Abstract

Indigenous-based Experiential Learning (IbEL) model has been developed to promote pre-service science teachers' creative thinking skills. This model emphasizes a more holistic, community-based education grounded in Indigenous knowledge and cultural practices. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the IbEL model in enhancing the pre-service science teachers' creative thinking skills. The study involved 29 participants who were randomly selected from a larger population. The participants were assessed using a pretest and posttest design to determine the changes in their creative thinking skills after being taught using the IbEL model. The study utilized a standardized evaluation instrument to measure creative thinking skills, including Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, Elaboration, Risk-Taking, Complexity, Curiosity, and Imagination. The data analysis method used was Rasch analysis with stacking and racking techniques. Using pretest and posttest evaluations, the researchers found a significant increase in creative thinking skills, with the Observation course showing a higher increase. The study highlights the importance of creativity in teaching and learning and how enhancing creative thinking skills can improve student achievement. The IbEL model encourages students to appreciate local knowledge and experience, context, and situation in learning, and direct experience, leading to more culturally sensitive research outcomes. The study contributes to the development of better learning models to enhance pre-service science teachers' creative thinking skills.

Abstract

This study explores the complex relationship between the Islamic perspective on human creation, as detailed in the Quran, and modern scientific understanding, particularly in embryology, genetics, and developmental biology. This research used a hermeneutic-phenomenological method, which juxtaposes the Quranic narrative of human creation, including the creation of Adam from clay and the subsequent development of humans from “nutfah” (sperm drops) through various embryonic stages, with contemporary scientific discoveries. Data analysis was carried out using QDA Miner software. The results of this research provide a comprehensive understanding and view of human creation while validating the contribution of modern science to understanding human origins and development. These findings show remarkable symmetry between the Quranic descriptions and modern scientific knowledge, highlighting stages such as “nutfah,” “alaqah” (blood clots), “mudghah” (chewed substance), bone development, and the covering of bones with flesh. This study not only underlines the suitability of religious narratives with scientific insights but also enriches the dialogue between science and religion to increase the scientific literacy of the Quran, and the values ​​of science education, such as integrative, critical, empirical, spiritual, ethical, and interdisciplinary, and has a major impact on the development of science.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of a structured professional development model on enhancing primary teachers' understanding and their capacity to promote students' STEM literacy. A mixed-methods design was employed to capture both quantitative outcomes and qualitative insights. Pre-test and post-test intervention surveys were used to measure shifts in teachers' perceptions, while students' literacy was assessed through structured essay tasks. Complementing this, open-ended questionnaires and interviews with selected teachers and students were conducted to explore their experiences and the perceived impact of the programme. The results demonstrate significant improvements in teachers' perceptions of STEM education and students' STEM literacy following the program's implementation. Quantitative findings indicate a substantial increase in teachers' self-efficacy and confidence in implementing STEM-based instruction, accompanied by measurable gains in students' STEM literacy across participating schools. These improvements are further explained and supported by qualitative findings, which reveal that teachers perceived the program as effective in strengthening their STEM content knowledge, pedagogical competence, and instructional confidence through hands-on learning activities, collaborative practices, and sustained professional support. In addition, qualitative evidence highlights contextual challenges, including limited instructional time and insufficient resources, which help explain variations in implementation effectiveness among schools. Overall, the findings suggest that a well-designed, contextually responsive STEM professional development model can enhance teacher capacity and meaningfully improve student STEM literacy in primary education, while underscoring the importance of ongoing support for sustainable implementation.

Abstract

Science learning anxiety can hinder pre-service teachers' engagement with scientific concepts and negatively affect their future teaching practices. However, instruments specifically designed to measure this construct in science education contexts remain limited. This study developed and validated the Brief Science Learning Anxiety Scale (BSLAS) to measure science learning anxiety among pre-service science teachers, based on Hooda and Saini's theory of academic anxiety. The development process involved five stages: scale design, item development, item selection, validation, and evaluation. Content validity was evaluated using Aiken's V, which indicated strong agreement among experts (V = .91). Exploratory factor analysis with 320 respondents identified five dimensions: worry, procrastination, study skills deficits, emotionality, and task-generated interference, explaining 49.04% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis on an independent sample of 324 respondents supported the factorial structure and demonstrated an acceptable model fit. The scale also demonstrated adequate convergent and discriminant validity and high internal reliability (ω = .847-.917). These findings indicate that the BSLAS has sound psychometric properties and can serve as a practical instrument for identifying science learning anxiety among pre-service teachers. The instrument may also support further research in science education and help inform teaching strategies that foster more adaptive science learning environments.

Abstract

Chemical numeracy is essential for understanding quantitative concepts in chemistry; however, there are indications of achievement gaps between male and female students. This study aims to analyze the influence of gender on students' numeracy skills when implementing the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group. The study population consisted of Phase F students at three high schools in West Sumatra, Indonesia. The sample comprised 188 students selected through purposive sampling based on initial ability equivalence. The research sample came from three schools, each serving as a research context for different topics: salt hydrolysis (experimental class = 33; control class = 30), reaction rates (experimental class = 35; control class = 35), and chemical equilibrium (experimental class = 26; control class = 29). The research instrument consisted of a chemistry numerical literacy test on reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, and salt hydrolysis, which experts had validated. Instruction in the experimental classes used the PBL model, while the control classes used conventional instruction, as typically implemented in schools. Data were analyzed using the N-gain test, normality test, homogeneity test, and Two-Way ANOVA. Results showed that improvement in numerical literacy in chemistry was greater in PBL classes than in control classes. Statistical analysis indicated that the PBL model had a significant effect on improving numerical literacy in chemistry. Gender was significant in only one school, and the interaction between the learning model and gender was also significant there, suggesting that the model's effectiveness may vary by context. These findings indicate that PBL is effective in enhancing students' numerical literacy in chemistry and imply that chemistry instruction should be designed around problem-solving approaches to develop quantitative reasoning and a contextual understanding of chemical concepts.
