Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in 21st-century physics education. However, previous studies indicate that students’ critical thinking abilities remain relatively low due to teacher-centered instructional practices and limited exploratory learning experiences. This article aims to systematically review the effectiveness of implementing virtual laboratory-based problem-solving scenarios in improving students’ critical thinking skills, particularly in Ohm’s Law material. The study employed a literature review method by analyzing relevant national and international journal articles published within the last ten years. The selected articles met criteria related to topic relevance, research methodology, and examined variables. The findings reveal that the integration of virtual laboratories and problem-solving approaches consistently contributes to improving students’ analytical skills, evaluation abilities, logical reasoning, and conclusion drawing. Interactive simulations and structured problem-solving stages enhance students’ active engagement and higher-order thinking skills. Therefore, virtual laboratory-based problem-solving scenarios are recommended as an innovative instructional strategy in physics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the integration of digital teaching materials based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) combined with the STEM approach in high school physics learning. The method used is a qualitative literature review by analyzing 16 national and international journal articles published between 2015 and 2024, which were selected based on relevance to the topic, methodological clarity, and the presence of empirical. The results indicate that digital teaching materials enhance the quality of learning through interactive, flexible, and contextual content delivery. The implementation of the PjBL model promotes active student engagement, improves collaboration skills, and facilitates the application of physics concepts in real-life contexts. Meanwhile, the STEM approach contributes to the development of critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The integration of digital teaching materials, PjBL, and STEM is proven to be more effective than their separate implementation, as it connects theory and practice comprehensively. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as limited technological facilities and user readiness. Therefore, well-designed instructional planning and institutional support are required to optimize its implementation in improving the quality of physics learning.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of integrating ethnoscience, local wisdom, and e-modules based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to improve students' critical thinking skills and scientific literacy. This research is highly urgent due to the limited comprehensive synthesis regarding the integration of these three specific components in modern 21st-century science education. The method used is a literature review of 20 relevant scientific articles. The synthesis results clearly show that this integration contributes significantly to learning outcomes. Ethnoscience effectively bridges modern science with local knowledge to make learning contextual. The PjBL model trains higher-order thinking skills through investigation and projects. Meanwhile, e-modules successfully strengthen independent learning interactively and flexibly. The synergy of these three components is proven to increase student engagement, understanding, analysis, and evaluation. However, success remains influenced by teacher readiness, resource availability, and student autonomy. This study provides a vital theoretical contribution toward relevant science learning innovations for the future.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the trends, characteristics, and effectiveness of developing local wisdom-based e-modules in improving students’ scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. The method used was a systematic literature review by examining 15 articles obtained from Google Scholar, ERIC, and DOAJ databases within the 2016–2025 period. The selection process followed the stages of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. Data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach by synthesizing findings based on research methods, study focus, and main results. The findings indicate that most studies employed Research and Development (R&D) and experimental methods. Local wisdom-based e-modules are proven effective in enhancing scientific literacy and critical thinking skills through contextual, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences. The integration of local wisdom makes learning more relevant and increases student engagement. However, most studies still focus on a single aspect of ability and rarely integrate both skills simultaneously. Therefore, further research is needed to develop more innovative and comprehensive e-modules to simultaneously improve scientific literacy and critical thinking skills.

Abstract

Science education in the Merdeka Curriculum calls for a contextual and meaningful approach, yet science instruction often remains abstract and lacks a connection to students’ real-life experiences. An ethoscience approach can offer a solution by integrating local community knowledge into scientific concepts. However, studies that specifically map the Nyorong tradition of the Samawa tribe into school science concepts particularly in the physics topics of work and energy remain limited. This review article aims to analyze the potential of the Nyorong tradition as a context for contextual, ethnoscience-based science learning by mapping cultural activities to the concepts of work and energy. The study employed a narrative review method, examining 16 selected articles retrieved from the Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, ERIC, SpringerLink, and Garuda databases between 2021 and 2026. Data were analyzed using content analysis through thematic grouping and synthesis of findings. The results indicate that the Nyorong tradition includes activities relevant to the concepts of force, work, potential energy, kinetic energy, energy transformation, and power. Integrating the Nyorong tradition has the potential to enhance science literacy, scientific process skills, the relevance of learning, as well as the instillation of character values and appreciation for local culture. This study contributes to enriching references for local culture-based science education and opens opportunities for the development of contextual teaching materials in secondary schools.

Abstract

Science Process Skills (SPS) are essential for developing students' conceptual understanding and scientific thinking. However, teacher-centered instruction and limited laboratory facilities hinder optimal SPS development. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the impact of Inquiry-Based Learning assisted by virtual laboratories on students' SPS using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Literature was gathered from national and international journals (Google Scholar, ProQuest, ERIC) published between 2016 and 2025. Guided by PRISMA 2020 protocols across four selection stages, 15 relevant articles were systematically analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods. The findings reveal a consistent positive effect on SPS specifically observing, hypothesizing, experimenting, data analyzing, and communicating alongside increased student engagement. Effectiveness depends on inquiry type, teacher guidance, and instructional design. Although virtual labs cannot fully replace hands-on manipulative skills, this integrated approach offers an effective, flexible alternative for science education.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the multimodal-assisted Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on students’ problem-solving abilities in the topic of work and energy. A quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design was employed. The sample consisted of 33 students in the experimental class and 33 students in the control class at SMAN 1 Gunungsari. Data were collected using a validated and reliable problem-solving ability test and analyzed using t-test and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the average pretest scores of the experimental and control classes were 34.818 and 31.758, respectively, while the average posttest scores increased to 82.697 and 76.697. The experimental class achieved an average N-Gain score of 0.733 (high category), whereas the control class obtained 0.644 (medium category). The findings indicate that the multimodal-assisted PBL model has a significant positive effect on students’ problem-solving abilities. Therefore, this learning model can be used as an effective alternative to improve students’ problem-solving abilities in physics learning, particularly on work and energy topics.
