Abstract

Teachers’ readiness to integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) plays a pivotal role in preparing students to understand and practice sustainable living. This study examined the readiness of 232 in-service biology teachers in South Sumatra, comprising 142 novice teachers (with ≤10 years of experience) and 90 experienced teachers (with>10 years of experience). A descriptive-comparative quantitative design was employed, using two structured questionnaires to measure teachers’ perspectives on ESD and their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). Findings revealed that teachers generally showed a strong commitment to ESD but only a moderate conceptual understanding. Within TPACK, attitudes were rated the highest, whereas technological and inquiry-based competencies were rated the lowest. Novice teachers scored higher than experienced teachers, while participation in environmental education training or prior teaching experience in related topics improved readiness. This study highlights the importance of continuous professional development in enhancing teachers’ technological and inquiry-oriented capacities. Strengthening these dimensions is crucial for effectively embedding ESD into biology teaching and science education more broadly. By addressing these gaps, the integration of ESD can move beyond awareness toward transformative learning that equips students with the skills and dispositions needed for sustainable futures.

Abstract

Problem-solving skills are a crucial competency in physics learning, but assessments of optical instrument materials often focus solely on routine tasks and final project results, without incorporating integrated project-based assessment tools. This study aims to analyze students' problem-solving skills using a project-based assessment on optical instrument materials, following the steps outlined by Heller and Heller. This study employed descriptive research with 64 eleventh-grade students as subjects. The assessment instruments were developed based on problem-solving indicators, as outlined by Heller and Heller, including problem focus, problem description, solution planning, plan implementation, and solution evaluation. Data were collected through observation of students' learning activities and analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of achievement percentages. The study's results demonstrated a high level of validity, as verified by experts, and a high level of practicality, supported by positive responses from students. Problem-solving indicators, including focus on the problem, solution planning, plan implementation, and solution evaluation, achieved an average of 82% (very good category), while the problem description indicator achieved 77% (good category). These findings suggest that project-based assessment tools have potential in supporting the development of students' problem-solving skills, although they need to be strengthened in terms of physically describing problems. This study contributes to the alignment of project-based problem-solving indicators, offering a process-oriented and contextual approach to assessing cognitive skills. Further research is recommended to test the effectiveness of PjBL directly on improving students' problem-solving skills through experimental designs with control groups, as well as the development of more adaptive digital instruments for application in 21st-century physics education.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of a Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)-oriented Ethno-STEM approach in promoting environmental awareness among elementary school students through natural and social science learning. Utilizing a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 60 students from an elementary school in Makassar, Indonesia. Environmental awareness was assessed before and after the implementation of Ethno-STEM-integrated lessons that incorporated culturally relevant and participatory activities such as eco-brick making, waste management simulations, and the "Zero Plastic Week" challenge. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test, which revealed a statistically significant improvement in students' environmental awareness scores (p = 0.001), with the mean increasing from M = 61.06 (SD = 7.10) to M = 68.61 (SD = 6.63). The findings demonstrate that integrating local cultural values and sustainability themes into science education fosters both cognitive understanding and behavioral engagement with environmental issues. This study contributes to the development of culturally contextualized and sustainability-focused pedagogy, reinforcing the relevance of SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 13 (climate action). This study is novel in its integration of SDGs-oriented Ethno-STEM with elementary science education, demonstrating not only cognitive improvement but also fostering affective and behavioral engagement. Its contribution lies in bridging cultural relevance with sustainability pedagogy, thereby informing both theoretical discourse and practical applications in early education.

Abstract

Current climate data shows that human-driven climate change is now affecting both nature and people irreversibly. Several studies have explored the perception, actions, and hopes of individuals regarding climate change, but few have analyzed their relationship. This study aimed to analyze students’ perceptions, actions, and hopes, examine the structural relationships among these variables, and determine the mediating role of hope. A quantitative survey was conducted to statistically analyze students’ perceptions, actions, and hopes. Results reveal strong agreement among students about the reality and anthropogenic causes of climate change. In terms of actions, students have relatively more participatory actions than leadership actions towards the environment. When it comes to hope, students generally believe in their own ability to act, but there are a few who exhibit hopelessness due to the complexity of climate change. Structural equation modeling reveals a positive relationship between perception and hope (r = 0.62), indicating that awareness promotes optimism about solutions. Moreover, mediation and path estimates revealed the mediating role of hope, suggesting that perception influences action through hope. These findings emphasize the need for climate change education to bridge the attitude-behavior gap by fostering a sense of hope and positive instruction to increase students’ mitigative actions.

Abstract

This study examined the effects of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model oriented to Balinese local wisdom and students’ cognitive styles on misconceptions and scientific literacy. A quasi-experimental design with a 3×2 factorial arrangement was employed, involving three learning models (PBL with local wisdom, standard PBL, and conventional learning) and two cognitive styles (reflective vs. impulsive). The sample consisted of 178 fifth-grade students from 12 schools, selected through a multi-stage random sampling process. Data were collected using a misconception test (α = 0.92), a scientific literacy test (α = 0.79), and the Matching Familiar Figures Test (α = 0.72). Results of two-way MANOVA showed significant main effects of learning model (Wilks’ Λ = 0.697, F (4,342) = 16.93, p < 0.001, η² = 0.16) and cognitive style (Wilks’ Λ = 0.407, F (2,171) = 124.7, p < 0.001, η² = 0.59). A significant interaction was also observed between learning model and cognitive style (Wilks’ Λ = 0.859, F (4,342) = 6.73, p < 0.001, η² = 0.07). Reflective students benefited most from PBL with Balinese local wisdom, showing the lowest misconceptions and highest scientific literacy, while impulsive students performed relatively better under conventional learning. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating cultural context and cognitive diversity into science education.

Abstract

Students’ 21st-century skills, particularly collaboration and creative thinking, remain underdeveloped. Previous studies have introduced the Collaborative Ethno-STEAM Enriched Project-Based Learning (CoE-STEAM-PjBL) model, but its implementation and effects in teacher education settings have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aims to analyze the impact of CoE-STEAM-PjBL on prospective science teachers’ collaboration and creative thinking skills. Using a pre-experimental One-Shot Case Study design, the research was conducted at a teacher education institution. Data were collected through creative thinking tests and collaboration observation sheets. Learning was conducted using the CoE-STEAM-PjBL syntax with product-based projects rooted in local wisdom. The data were analyzed descriptively. Results showed that 29% of participants are highly creative, 48% are creative, and 23% are fairly creative. For collaboration, 17% were in the very good category, 58% good, and 25% moderate. The most prominent indicator of creative thinking was fluency, while social interdependence was dominant in collaboration. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of CoE-STEAM-PjBL has an impact on increasing collaboration and creative thinking of prospective teachers. This study contributes to the development of science education by providing empirical evidence on the integration of local wisdom and ethnoscience in STEAM-based project learning to enhance essential 21st-century skills among prospective teachers.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the validity of the Cre-ASI instrument and its practicality and effectiveness when applied to PBL in improving creative thinking skills. The research design used the ADDIE model. The Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages were used. The results of the Cre-ASI (Creative Assessment with Solving Instrument) instrument, which aims to improve creative thinking skills, have met the validity criteria and, when applied in PBL, meet the practical and effective criteria. The results of the Cre-ASI instrument development obtained a validity percentage value of 96.1%, which is a very valid category. When applying the instrument in PBL, a N-Gain score of 0.68 was obtained, and an increase in student answers was observed between the pre-test and post-test. The findings from the development of Cre-ASI in the PBL model revealed a positive correlation between indicators of problem-solving skills and creative thinking skills; students with low problem-solving skills tend to have low creativity. The integration of PBL and Cre-ASI has been shown to encourage knowledge construction, thinking strategies, learning motivation, and the development of students' cognitive abilities. This confirms that physics learning is not only focused on mastering concepts, but also on developing creativity and problem-solving skills. In the future, utilizing sophisticated technology to produce more efficient products with alternative costs and improved time and material efficiency is crucial, as this will enable the results of this study to serve as both an innovation and a benchmark in the selection and development of innovative assessment instruments in physics learning.

Abstract

The IBMRO (Investigation-Based Multiple Representation Online) learning model is designed to improve physics problem-solving skills. However, its implementation requires the right tools so that the objectives can be achieved even though the learning process is carried out online. This study used Algodoo as a learning tool in the IBMRO model on parabolic motion. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Algodoo-assisted IBMRO model in improving students' physics problem-solving skills. This research employed a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design, with 96 students divided into three classes. Before and after the learning process, students were given tests (pre-test and post-test). During the learning process, observations were made of student activities. After the learning was completed, students were given a questionnaire to assess their understanding of the learning. The pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed using paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, and n-gain. The percentage of observation and questionnaire data was calculated. The results showed that the average score of students' physics problem-solving skills increased significantly a = 5%, The average n-gain of physics problem-solving skills was in the medium category, the average n-gain of each indicator of physics problem-solving skills was in the medium to high category, student activities were relevant to learning, and students had a good response to learning. This study concludes that the Algodoo-assisted IBMRO model is effective in improving students' physics problem-solving skills.

Abstract

The evolving demands of 21st-century education require science teaching strategies that promote student engagement, critical thinking, and real-world application. Although many studies examine individual approaches, consolidated evidence identifying which strategies best align with modern educational outcomes—and what large-scale evidence from the fully online COVID-19 period implies—remains limited. This study systematically reviews and synthesizes high-quality empirical evidence on technology-enhanced strategies for teaching science, with a focus on their use in teacher education programs. Guided by the PICO framework, a comprehensive search across seven major databases (2015–2025) yielded 133,414 records. After applying predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria and conducting critical appraisal using the JBI checklists and ROBVIS, 23 studies met eligibility for analysis. Thematic synthesis revealed three dominant categories of effective strategies: (1) immersive technologies (e.g., augmented reality, virtual reality, interactive simulations); (2) collaborative digital platforms (e.g., Google Classroom, Edmodo, Internet Reciprocal Teaching); and (3) interactive learning tools (e.g., virtual laboratories, gamified slide presentations, digital flipbooks). Across diverse disciplines and grade levels, these strategies generally improved engagement, conceptual understanding, and scientific literacy under controlled or well-supported conditions. Triangulation with evidence from fully online learning during COVID-19, however, indicates heterogeneous—and at scale, often negative—system-level outcomes when enabling conditions are weak, as reflected in international assessments (e.g., PISA 2022). Distinct from prior reviews, this study integrates technology-enhanced pedagogy with SDG 4 goals, providing a global synthesis that bridges instructional innovation and sustainable education frameworks. The findings underscore the importance of professional development, curriculum alignment, and equitable technology access as enabling conditions for successful implementation. We conclude that student-centered, technology-enhanced approaches embedded within inquiry- or project-based frameworks can advance learning outcomes while supporting quality, inclusive, and future-ready science education.

Abstract

This study aimed to establish conceptual mechanisms and patterns for applying artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to personalised physics education within the Kazakhstani educational system. Methods. A comprehensive methodology was employed, combining both theoretical and empirical approaches. The theoretical phase involved reviewing regulatory documents in Kazakhstan’s education system. The empirical phase consisted of a pedagogical experiment conducted between September and December 2024 across three educational institutions in Taldykorgan, Kazakhstan. The study involved 58 tenth-grade students, divided into experimental and control groups; the experimental group utilised an AI-driven personalised learning system designed to adapt content based on student performance. Data were collected on academic performance, theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and research competencies using pre-tests, interim assessments, and final evaluations. Results. The experimental groups demonstrated a significant improvement in academic performance, with the average score increasing from 4.2 to 4.6. 76% of students in experimental groups successfully solved advanced problems, compared to 52% in control groups. The system fostered improved critical thinking, research competencies, and self-assessment skills, while enhancing students’ ability to engage in scientific discourse and apply knowledge in interdisciplinary contexts. Conclusions. The AI-driven model proved highly effective at personalising learning and improving students' academic and cognitive outcomes. It offers a scalable framework for adapting content to individual learning styles, with positive impacts on motivation and problem-solving abilities. The findings contribute to a growing body of research on AI applications in education and provide a foundation for further advancements in personal learning systems.
