Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Argument-Generating (AG) learning model, supported by Toulmin’s Argumentation Pattern, in enhancing students' argumentation skills with a specific focus on the topic of physics. The primary aim is to evaluate how the AG learning model, augmented by Toulmin’s framework, improves students' abilities to construct and defend arguments in the context of physics. Additionally, the research seeks to assess the overall effectiveness of this instructional approach and gather student responses regarding its application. A quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design was utilized, involving 50 third-grade Physics Education students at an LPTK in Bandung. These students were divided into an experimental group of 26 students, who engaged with the physics topic using the AG learning model supported by Toulmin’s Argumentation Pattern, and a control group of 24 students, who followed a traditional instructional approach. Quantitative data were collected using an argumentation skills test that assessed students' ability to formulate claims, provide data, construct warrants, and offer backing. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in the argumentation skills of the experimental group, with a very large effect size (d=2.09). This substantial effect indicates that the AG learning model, supported by Toulmin’s Argumentation Pattern, significantly enhances students' argumentation skills. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the Argument-Generating learning model, when integrated with Toulmin’s Argumentation Pattern, is highly effective in improving students' argumentation skills in physics, underscoring its potential as a valuable instructional strategy.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the conceptual understanding of chemical equilibrium among 11th-grade students using the 5E inquiry learning framework, in which the students were requested to conduct the small-scale experiments on chemical equilibrium and factors influencing the equilibrium and the smartphone-based colorimetric determination of Kc. Data collection was conducted through a two-tier diagnostic conceptual test and semi-structured interviews. Thirty-one students participated in three 2-hour 5E learning sessions, totaling 6 hours. A paired-samples t-test revealed that the post-conceptual test scores (mean 31.46, S.D. 6.82, 69.91%) were significantly higher than the pre-test scores (mean 11.85, S.D. 10.80, 26.33%) at a significance level of 0.05, with a normalized gain of 0.59, indicating a medium improvement. Most students progressed from the less accurate category, Partial Understanding with Specific Misunderstanding (PMU, 42.39%), to a more accurate category, Partial Understanding (45.38%). Semi-structured interviews suggested that the 5E inquiry approach, using small-scale and smartphone-based colorimetric experiments, was both engaging and effective in improving students’ conceptual understanding. This intervention successfully helped students shift their understanding of chemical reactions towards more accurate categories.

Abstract

Science literacy is a fundamental competency for students to engage with scientific issues and make evidence-based decisions. However, Indonesian students consistently rank low in international assessments such as PISA, revealing major gaps in their ability to understand and apply scientific concepts. This study aims to measure the science literacy skills of junior high school students using the Nature of Science Literacy Test (NOSLiT), which focuses on students' understanding of the nature and processes of science rather than solely content mastery. A descriptive quantitative method was employed with 150 ninth-grade students from five public junior high schools in Bombana Regency, Indonesia. The NOSLiT instrument, adapted to the Indonesian context, consists of 35 multiple-choice items across five science literacy domains. Results indicated that students' overall performance was categorized as very poor, with an average score of 39.7%. Key weaknesses were found in scientific thinking, societal application of science, and scientific methodology. These findings highlight a mismatch between current teaching practices and the demands of 21st-century science education. The study underscores the importance of integrating inquiry-based and contextually relevant pedagogy to enhance students' scientific reasoning, curiosity, and literacy. This research provides a foundation for curriculum development and targeted interventions aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4 on quality education.

Abstract

STEM education has become a crucial strategy for improving students’ collaborative competence by engaging them in hands-on, problem-based learning. Integrating STEM topics into natural science curricula remains limited in many countries, including Vietnam. To address this gap, this study aimed to design and implement a STEM lesson titled “LED Card – LIGHT IT UP” for 8th-grade students to develop collaborative competence and deepen their understanding of power sources and simple circuits. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with 21 students participating in three sessions, each lasting 45 minutes. Students worked in small groups and engaged in collaborative activities using techniques such as Numbered Heads Together, Brainstorming, Placemat, Gallery Walk, and XYZ. All group interactions during these activities were observed and video-recorded. The collected data were then qualitatively analyzed based on predefined collaboration criteria, including role assignment, idea exchange, feedback provision, and joint problem-solving, to assess each group’s level of collaboration. The results revealed that four out of five groups consistently demonstrated effective collaboration, particularly during reporting and design review sessions, despite facing challenges in online coordination. In conclusion, the integrated STEM lesson effectively enhanced students’ collaborative competence while deepening their understanding of fundamental electrical concepts. The results also highlighted some limitations, such as student distractions and unequal contributions among members, indicating the need for improvements in techniques and teacher guidance methods to enhance the effectiveness of group activities in STEM topics. The novelty of this study lies in its innovative synthesis of established collaborative teaching techniques within a STEM framework, providing a promising approach for enhancing secondary education.

Abstract

This research examines the ESD competency levels—specifically systems thinking, anticipatory thinking, and critical thinking—among pre-service physics teachers within ethno-socio-scientific content, aiming to equip future educators with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to promote sustainability and address global environmental and social challenges. A quantitative approach was employed, with a sample of 83 pre-service physics teacher students from a Physics Education program at a university in Aceh, Indonesia. This research instrument consists of eight multiple-choice questions for each competency. Validity and reliability analyses, using the Rasch model, confirmed the instrument's robustness, yielding high-reliability scores (person reliability = 0.82, item reliability = 0.84, Cronbach's alpha = 0.85). The results reveal variations in competency levels: anticipatory thinking is the strongest, critical thinking is the least developed, and systems thinking is moderate. Correlation analysis indicates positive and moderate relationships among the competencies, highlighting the importance of integrated ESD competency development. The success of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) requires a holistic approach that fosters the development of all relevant competencies. Prioritizing critical thinking is essential, as it is a foundation for enhancing other competencies. Educational systems should focus on cultivating systems thinking and anticipatory thinking, as these are interconnected and mutually reinforcing in the transformation toward sustainability. Additionally, the findings suggest that the comprehensive integration of ESD into the physics education curriculum can enhance pre-service teachers' capacity to engage effectively with sustainability issues. By incorporating ethno-socio-scientific contexts, this approach deepens the ethnic, social, and contextual relevance of physics concepts, thus preparing future educators to address sustainability challenges.
