Abstract

The shift in science education towards a constructivist approach requires integrating learning strategies that foster deep student engagement and understanding. This research systematically investigates the integration of multimodal approaches into Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) models in science education, and evaluates their effectiveness on student learning outcomes. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA protocol, this study covers peer-reviewed sources from various international databases over the last 15 years. Findings consistently indicate that multimodal integration through simulations, virtual laboratories, multiple representations, videos, and other digital tools significantly improves conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, creativity, and positive motivation and attitudes towards science. While each model offers specific advantages (PBL excels in problem analysis, PjBL in artifact creation, and IBL in scientific exploration), successful implementation depends heavily on the teacher's role, student readiness, and contextual support. This review recommends well-planned multimodal learning designs that align with learning objectives and the specific model's characteristics.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model supported by interactive media on students' physics learning outcomes. This research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The population comprised all Grade 11 Mathematics and Natural Sciences (XI MIPA) students at SMAN 1 Sambelia. A total of 69 students were selected via purposive sampling, consisting of Class XI MIPA 1 (N=34) as the experimental group and Class XI MIPA 2 (N=35) as the control group. Data were collected using a cognitive learning outcome instrument consisting of 20 multiple-choice items. Prior to data collection, the instrument underwent validity, reliability, difficulty index, and discrimination power testing, resulting in 16 valid items used for assessment. The results indicated that the mean score of students taught using the PBL model supported by interactive media was 77.50, whereas the mean score for students taught using conventional methods was 68.14. Prerequisite tests confirmed that the pretest and posttest data for both classes were normally distributed and homogeneous. Hypothesis testing using a t-test revealed a calculated t-value greater than the critical t-table value (4.069>1.668) at a 5% significance level (df=68). Consequently, H0 was rejected, and Ha was accepted, confirming that the problem-based learning model supported by interactive media has a significant effect on the physics learning outcomes of students at SMAN 1 Sambelia.
