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.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has driven innovation in learning resources, including the use of e-books as supportive media in science education. In the context of ecology learning at the junior secondary level, instructional materials are needed that not only present fundamental concepts but also cultivate scientific literacy and sustainability awareness. This study aimed to develop an ecology e-book grounded in the Education for Sustainable Development framework and to examine its feasibility and effectiveness in enhancing students’ scientific literacy. The research employed a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model, comprising need analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The e-book was validated by two material experts, two media experts, and twenty science teachers. Validation results showed a very high level of feasibility, with material experts awarding an average score of 96.3 percent and media experts 95.3 percent, supported by a CVI of 0.95 and a CVR of 0.93, indicating strong content validity. During implementation, the e-book’s effectiveness was tested using a quasi-experimental design with 35 students in the experimental class and 27 in the control class. The analysis revealed a moderate improvement in students’ scientific literacy, with an N-gain of 0.43, while the control class achieved an N-gain of 0.20. Gains were evident in knowledge and competency, particularly in understanding scientific phenomena and epistemic reasoning. The distribution of scores in the experimental class also became more homogeneous, suggesting more even conceptual understanding. Statistical tests confirmed significant differences between the two groups, strengthening the evidence of the e-book’s impact. Students’ responses averaged 81 percent in the very good category, covering content, language, visuals, and usefulness. These findings indicate that the ESD-based ecology e-book is feasible and effective for improving scientific literacy among junior secondary students. Keywords: e-book, ecology, education for sustainable development, scientific literacy.

Abstract

The Effect of Socratic Questioning-Based Student Worksheets on Improving Students’ Critical Thinking Skills. Objective: The ability to think critically plays an essential role in students' achievement in the 21st century, yet its development in science classroom instruction continues to be insufficient. Science education can be monotonous, the content is often perceived as complex, and students typically lack confidence during discussions. This study investigates the influence of Socratic Questioning-based Student Worksheets (SQ-SW) on the improvement of critical thinking skills among junior high school students regarding excretory system content. The novelty of this study lies in the deliberate integration of Socratic questioning techniques into student workbooks, a topic that has been scarcely explored in previous research. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental framework with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Participants involved 64 eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 27 Banjarmasin, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. The experimental group used the SQ-SW, while the control group used conventional worksheets. Data were collected through a validated response questionnaire and a critical thinking skills assessment, both of which have been confirmed as valid and reliable. Data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach, normality and homogeneity tests, paired-sample t-tests, and independent-sample t-tests. Findings: The findings indicated that SQ-SW could be efficiently applied with a commendable rating. Students in the experimental group demonstrated notable progress in critical thinking, achieving a moderate N-gain (0.56), whereas the control group achieved only a minimal N-gain (0.11). Four critical thinking dimensions (question formulation, hypothesis creation, self-regulation, and conclusion formation) showed moderate advancement. However, the analytical dimension displayed more constrained growth. Conclusion: The use of SQ-SW significantly influences junior secondary students' mastery of excretory system content and their development of critical thinking. Integrating Socratic questions throughout student worksheets creates a systematic, motivating pedagogical approach that breaks conventional classroom routines while enhancing conceptual depth. This investigation introduces a fresh educational technique adaptable to diverse science subjects and academic stages.   Keywords: critical thinking skill, excretory system, science learning, socratic questioning.

Abstract

The challenge in teaching Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) in elementary schools often lies in the difficulty of visualizing abstract concepts, particularly regarding landscape diversity and its relationship to community professions. Preliminary observations at Dadaprejo 01 Public Elementary School revealed a critical issue: fourth-grade students exhibited low engagement, characterized by a lack of focus and visible boredom during conventional lessons that relied heavily on static worksheets. Consequently, this study aims to develop the "BENAPRO" (Bentang Alam dan Profesi) e-module, designed to meet the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness, specifically to increase students' interest in learning. This research employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The subjects in the field trial were 18 fourth-grade students. Data collection instruments included expert validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires using a Likert scale, and pre-test/post-test questionnaires to measure learning interest. The data were analyzed both descriptively and quantitatively. The results show that the e-module is "highly valid," with material experts providing an average score of 86% and product experts rating it at 96%. Practicality tests demonstrated excellent reception, with educators rating the module at 97.9% and students at 98.6%, citing the module's interactive features and ease of use. Crucially, the effectiveness test showed a significant surge in student interest, indicated by an N-Gain score of 0.82, which falls into the "High" category. It is concluded that the BENAPRO e-module is a valid, practical, and effective tool. By integrating Problem-Based Learning syntax with contextual visualization, this innovation effectively transforms passive learning into active engagement, making it a suitable alternative to the Independent Curriculum. Keywords: e-modules, natural and social sciences, diversity of landscapes and community professions, learning interests.

Abstract

Indonesian students’ mathematics performance remains below the OECD average, particularly on items requiring reasoning, interpretation of data, and problem-solving in real-world contexts. Although PISA outcomes are influenced by multiple factors, including curriculum alignment, learning opportunities, and socioeconomic conditions, prior studies indicate that students’ difficulties with non-routine, reasoning-based tasks reflect limitations in higher-order mathematical thinking. In this context, strengthening students’ mathematical critical thinking remains an urgent instructional challenge. This study aimed to determine whether students’ mathematical critical thinking skills improved more significantly after using a Google Classroom-based Comprehensive Mathematics Instruction (CMI) model than after regular learning. Additionally, this research examined changes in students’ mathematics self-efficacy before and after the intervention and explored the relationship between mathematical critical thinking skills and mathematics self-efficacy. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was employed. The population consisted of all tenth-grade students at SMAN 1 Jalancagak, with a purposive sample of 70 students drawn from two classes (X-10 and X-9). Data were collected using a mathematical critical thinking test and a mathematics self-efficacy questionnaire. The results show that students using the Google Classroom-based CMI model achieved significantly greater improvements in mathematical critical thinking skills than those in standard learning. Moreover, students’ mathematics self-efficacy increased significantly following implementation of the model. The analysis also found a statistically significant, though modest, relationship between mathematical critical thinking skills and mathematics self-efficacy. These results indicate that combining structured cognitive instruction with digital learning environments can enhance students’ mathematical critical thinking and mathematics self-efficacy, while recognising that broader contextual factors influence their mathematics development achievement. Keywords: CMI model, google classroom-based CMI model, google classroom, mathematical critical thinking skills, mathematics self-efficacy.

Abstract

Education is a key factor in tackling climate change, and educational tourism (edutourism) is a new approach to environmental education with supporting teaching materials. This research aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a science module on educational tourism, integrated with environmental education, for enhancing students’ ecological awareness. The module was designed using the 4D development model (define, design, develop, and disseminate) within an ELP approach. Validation by 10 experts, including experts in learning, environmental, and educational tourism, as well as research instruments, confirmed that the module and instrument were suitable for use. The implementation phase tested module effectiveness using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group across three meetings, including field observations, presentations of observational results, and the design of simple solutions to environmental problems. A total of 75 students from 3 secondary schools participated in this study, with 43 in the experimental group and 33 in the control group. Descriptive analysis indicated an increase in ecological awareness in both groups, with a larger increase in the experimental group, as evidenced by post-test averages of 19.79 and 16.03, respectively. Further analysis with ANCOVA showed a significant effect of the instructional treatment on post-test scores after controlling for pre-test differences (F(1, 73) = 9.066, p = 0.004, partial η² = 0.110). The findings suggest that edutourism-based learning, which emphasizes direct interaction with nature, observation activities, and student-designed solutions to environmental problems, effectively promotes student ecological awareness. This study contributes to contextual and constructivist learning literature by demonstrating the role of authentic, ecology-based learning experiences in science education. However, implementation challenges related to access, logistics, and limited intervention duration remain. Future research should explore longitudinal and interdisciplinary approaches, including technology-supported alternatives, to overcome contextual constraints. Keywords: environmental education, educational tourism, ecological awareness, integration, science module.
