Abstract

Amidst the rapid development of science and technology, STEM learning has become an essential approach to preparing the younger generation with 21st-century skills. However, in Indonesia, interest and positive attitudes toward STEM subjects at the elementary level remain limited. Objective: This study aims to examine students’ attitudes toward STEM and identify possible differences by gender and grade level among fourth and fifth-grade students in an elementary school in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional comparative design was employed, involving 314 students with 167 males (53.18%) and 147 females (46.81%). Data were collected using the STEM Attitude Scale for upper elementary students, developed by Unfried, with internal reliability coefficients ranging from α = 0.83 to α = 0.87. The data were analysed using normality and homogeneity tests, independent-samples t-tests, and effect size calculations (Cohen’s d). Focus group interviews were also conducted to complement the quantitative data. Findings: The results showed students’ attitudes toward STEM are positive. Moreover, it was found that there are no significant differences in overall STEM attitudes by gender or grade level. Although no statistically significant difference was observed, a small-to-medium effect (d = 0.30) in the science aspect suggested that younger students tended to express slightly higher enthusiasm for science-related learning. Furthermore, findings from the interviews indicate that students’ attitudes toward STEM influence their perceptions of their desired future careers or professions. Overall, the findings of this study are largely consistent with those of previous studies. Conclusion: The findings suggest that gender and grade-level differences in STEM attitudes among elementary students are minimal, indicating that early, inclusive, and hands-on STEM education may effectively promote equal engagement and interest across these groups. This study is limited by the small sample size, limited variables, and quantitative approach; therefore, future research should involve more schools and explore how STEM attitudes relate to students’ interest in STEM careers.    Keywords: STEM education, attitude, gender, grade level.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a valid, practical, and effective learning handout based on the ethnomathematics of Fort Marlborough, Bengkulu, to enhance students' mathematical literacy. The research method used is research and development. The development model used is a formative evaluation with stages including self-evaluation, expert review, face-to-face sessions, small-group sessions, and field testing. This study involved test subjects of grade X high school students in Bengkulu City, Indonesia. The test subjects in this study were divided into several stages of the research. This study involved four experts (mathematics lecturers) from different universities. The one-to-one test stage involved six high school students (high, medium, and low abilities). The limited-scale test stage involved 24 grade X high school students, and the large-scale implementation with 43 subjects. Data collection techniques used were observation, questionnaires, and tests. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative and qualitative analyses examined the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the mathematical literacy test. Analysis was also carried out descriptively on the results of suggestions from expert assessments of research products. The results of the study showed that: 1) the trigonometry learning handout based on the ethnomathematics of Fort Malborough Bengkulu that was developed meets the valid criteria based on the assessment of material, construction, and language by experts, with an average score of 0.63 (valid). 2) The trigonometry learning handout meets the practical criteria based on student assessment, with an average response score of 3.43 (very practical). The trigonometry learning handout has the potential to enhance high school students' mathematical literacy skills. In developing teaching materials using context, it is necessary to choose the proper context, and the illustration must be clear and easy to understand, in accordance with the material. Keywords: learning handout, ethnomathematics, Fort Marlborough, mathematical literacy skills.

Abstract

Understanding the particulate nature of matter in solutions requires integrating macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic representations, a domain in which students often encounter misconceptions. This study investigated high school students’ conceptions of solute-solvent particle behavior in sugar and sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions using student-generated drawings. A total of 253 students from Grades 10, 11, and 12 in Palangka Raya, Indonesia, participated in a descriptive-comparative cross-sectional study. The open-ended pictorial test was validated by experts (Aiken’s V = 0.91), demonstrated substantial inter-rater reliability (Cohen’s κ = 0.753 for SSR; κ = 0.779 for CIR; p < .001), providing strong evidence of construct validity. Students’ representations were categorized into two dimensions: (1) Spatial Structural Representations (SSR): Regular-Loose (Rel), Regular-Dense (Red), Random (Ran), and Invisible/Disappeared (Dis); and (2) Chemical Interaction Representations (CIR): Molecular (MOR), Partial Ionic (PIR), Scientific Ionic (SIR), and Complex Mixed Ionic (MIR). Chi-square analysis revealed a significant relationship between grade level and both representational dimensions (SSR: χ²(6) = 29.079, p < .001, Cramer's V = 0.24, inertia = 0.115; CIR: χ²(6) = 61.612, p < .001, Cramer’s V = 0.349, inertia = 0.244). Correspondence analysis further revealed a progressive conceptual shift: Grade 10 students predominantly depicted Regular-Loose (solid-like) structures, whereas Grade 12 students more frequently produced Random (scientific) representations. Similarly, development in CIR moved from molecular (MOR/PIR) to scientifically accurate ionic forms (SIR/MIR). These findings highlight the need for multi-representational, visually oriented instruction, such as animations, augmented-reality simulations, and drawing-based assessments, to support conceptual change and strengthen coherence across representation levels.    Keywords: particulate nature of matter, solution chemistry, correspondence analysis, representational competence, conceptual change.

Abstract

This research is an experimental study with a 2×2 factorial design, examining the interaction between learning models and physics learning motivation on students' critical thinking skills, both overall and in terms of high and low levels of learning motivation. In addition, this study also aims to test the interaction between learning models and physics learning motivation on critical thinking skills. The study population consisted of all grade XI students at Madrasah Aliyah Allu Jeneponto in the 2024/2025 Academic Year. The research sample consisted of 64 students, selected through a cluster random sampling technique with a lottery method to determine which classes would serve as the experimental and control groups. To minimize disruption to the ongoing learning process, randomization was conducted at the class level, rather than the individual level. Based on the lottery results, it was determined that class XI.1 was designated as the experimental class, taught using the guided inquiry learning model. In contrast, class XI.3 was designated as the control class, taught using the conventional learning model. Each class consisted of 32 students. Data analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistics, including a two-way ANOVA test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the experimental group had an average critical thinking ability 12.81 points higher, with a standard deviation of 2.16, compared to the control group, which had an average of 11.09 points, with a standard deviation of 2.13. Inferential analysis confirmed a significant difference in students' overall critical thinking ability between the two learning models, both in the high-motivation and low-motivation groups. However, no influence was found between the learning model and physics learning motivation on the critical thinking ability of students at Madrasah Aliyah Allu. This shows that the influence of the guided inquiry learning model on critical thinking ability is consistent at all levels of learning motivation. Thus, the application of the guided inquiry learning model has been proven effective in improving students' critical thinking abilities, and learning motivation also plays an important role as an independent factor that supports the improvement of this ability. Keywords: guided inquiry, learning motivation, critical thinking skills.
