Abstract

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education has attracted growing global attention, yet its development within physics learning in Indonesia remains unevenly mapped. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of STEM-oriented physics education in Indonesian secondary schools (2010–2024). Articles were retrieved using Publish or Perish (Google Scholar), curated in Mendeley, and analyzed with VOSviewer. Fifty-four eligible journal articles were identified. The findings indicate that research on STEM-oriented physics learning expanded rapidly, peaking in 2020, and subsequently fluctuated at levels above those observed before 2018. East Java was identified as the most productive province in STEM education research related to physics learning. Furthermore, the University of Jember and the State University of Malang are the two most active institutions in publishing articles in this field. Based on keyword analysis, STEM research in physics learning predominantly focuses on the development of teaching materials, instructional models, learning outcomes, and physics subject content. Among the ten most-cited articles, four discuss STEM project-based learning. This study maps the national research landscape, providing an empirical foundation for researchers, educators, and policymakers to identify gaps, refine STEM strategies, and promote evidence-based practices. Practically, the field would benefit from broader multi-site collaborations (including regions beyond Java), more rigorous methodological reporting, and the systematic adoption of technology-enhanced resources.

Abstract

This study introduces the toxicity of nanomaterials through a practical and accessible experiment. An electrochemical approach was employed to synthesize carbon dots (CDs) from graphite rods extracted from recycled batteries. The impact of CDs solutions on the growth of mung bean sprouts was then investigated as a representative model for nanotoxicity assessment. The results revealed significant differences in growth and development between control samples and those exposed to CDs. To evaluate the educational impact, an experiment was carried out with 25 undergraduate students divided into five groups. The activity helped students better understand the properties and risks of nanomaterials, while also developing their skills in data analysis and teamwork. Three surveys conducted before and after the lecture and experiment showed that students improved their knowledge of nanotechnology and their practical skills. This interdisciplinary experiment, integrating physics, chemistry, and biology, aligns with the Vietnamese Grade 10 Specialized Physics Study Module and undergraduate nanomaterial courses. Using recycled materials promotes sustainable practices and helps students connect theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, making learning more engaging and meaningful. It also provides a hands-on model for integrating nanoscience into STEM education in an accessible and practical way.

Abstract

At present, with technological advancement and changes in students’ preferences, there are both challenges and opportunities to enhance the teaching and learning of subjects in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In this article, we explore reported works in established databases on the topic of Hooke’s Law, to see the approaches used in teaching and learning of the topic. Searches were performed in Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar databases, after which manual filtering for relevant articles was carried out by reading and browsing through the abstracts. Based on the types of works, the articles were separated into three parts: physical, interactive software, and blended. In total, 21 relevant articles were reviewed. The data obtained can be separated into three categories: physical, interactive software, and blended. Of the three, blended approaches were used the least. To further explore the topics discussed in the articles related to Hooke’s Law, a bibliometric study was performed. From the results, we found that, with the advantages offered by the blended approach, and none using artificial intelligence, there is still room for improvement to enhance the teaching of Hooke’s Law, specifically, and generally, on introductory physics subjects.

Abstract

This paper presents methodologies derived from a comprehensive survey of students studying at different levels of the education system, as well as of educators in Physics. The survey aimed to understand Generation Z's expectations from education systems and integrate their perspectives into effective teaching and assessment strategies. Key findings reveal the need for innovative approaches to enhance cognitive learning. The paper also aims to offer a list of pedagogies in accordance with Bloom’s taxonomy levels. These strategies prioritize student-centered learning, interactive engagement, and personalized feedback. By incorporating Generation Z's perceptions, educators can foster a more inclusive and effective learning environment, ultimately enriching the educational experience for the next generation of students. The survey highlights a strong shift toward competency-based, skill-oriented learning in line with the National Education Policy and global trends. Students increasingly value application and problem-solving over rote memorization, resonating with Bloom’s revised taxonomy. This underscores the need for formative, competency-based assessments aligned with real-world skills. While traditional classroom note-taking remains important, diverse and flexible learning resources are equally essential to meet varied learning preferences. The findings discussed in the paper offer valuable insights for educators seeking to modernize teaching practices and improve student outcomes.

Abstract

A practicum guideline is a learning medium designed to support laboratory activities. This study aimed to develop a cartoon-assisted practicum guideline and to evaluate its feasibility, characteristics, and effectiveness in enhancing students’ science process skills (SPS). The research used a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a modified 4D model (define-design-development, without dissemination). The developed practicum guideline focuses on a thin lens laboratory activity for high school students and is intended to support the teaching and learning of optics. The inclusion of cartoon characters was specifically designed to increase students’ motivation, provide visual representations of key concepts, clarify content and procedural steps, guide and maintain students’ focus, and facilitate overall comprehension. The feasibility test result showed that the developed product was very feasible, with overall feasibility indices of 83.15% and 84.84% as evaluated by practitioners and experts, respectively. The assessment covered four aspects: (i) content, (ii) presentation, (iii) language, and (iv) graphics. The product was classified as a good practicum guideline, as it applied the "visual principle", was coherently arranged to guide students through the practicum activity, and developed their SPS through appropriate supplementary features. Students’ responses to the implementation of the cartoon-assisted practicum guideline were in good categories, as they reported feeling happy, enthusiastic, and interested in conducting laboratory activities. Therefore, it can be concluded that the cartoon-assisted practicum guideline was successfully developed and was partially effective in improving students’ SPS.

Abstract

This study proposes and investigates a biomimicry-enriched, engineering design-based teaching approach for physics. Grounded in situated learning theory, the approach aims to enhance student comprehension and interest by connecting abstract concepts to real-world problem-solving and daily life, a crucial mandate in physics education research. The focus of this research is on the “sound and its properties” unit. The implementation was conducted over 22 class hours, during which students participated in nature-inspired engineering design cycles comprising stages such as problem definition, imagining solutions, identifying sources of inspiration, and modelling. Using a qualitative research design, the study analyzed data from 57 sixth-grade students in Ankara, Türkiye. Qualitative data, collected via students’ cooperative group activity sheets, required students to identify biological sources and map similarities between nature and their designs. These data were analyzed through inductive document and content analysis to categorize typical designs and the specific levels of biomimetic mimicry achieved by the groups. The findings provide detailed insights into the students’ application of physics principles to design nature-inspired engineering solutions related to sound and its properties.
