<![CDATA[21st-century physics learning requires problem-solving skills, but school practices often remain teacher-centered and formula-oriented. This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing a project-based learning model on 11th-grade students’ problem-solving skills in linear motion at SMA Negeri 2 Mataram. The research used a one-group pretest-posttest design with a purposively selected sample of 71 students. The results indicated strong validity (17 of 20 items were valid) and high reliability (KR-20 = 0.854). The average score went up from 63.24 on the pretest to 70.12 on the posttest. Normality testing confirmed that the data were normally distributed, and the paired sample t-test showed a significant difference (t-value of 5.527 exceeded the t-table value of 2.000). These findings confirm that project-based learning is efficacious in improving students’ problem-solving skills. The PjBL model is effective in developing these skills and can serve as an innovative learning strategy to enhance physics learning in secondary schools.]]>

<![CDATA[Project-Based Learning is an instructional strategy that improves students' Science Process Skills (SPS) by involving them in hands-on scientific project design and implementation. This study investigates the effect of PjBL on students’ SPS, focusing on skills such as observing, generating hypotheses, planning experiments, using tools and materials, collaborating in groups, and communicating scientifically. The research follows a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group, including two XI classes at SMAN 1 Lembar, selected through purposive sampling. One class (XI-1) is assigned to the experimental group, which uses PjBL, while the other (XI-2) is the control group, which follows traditional teaching methods. The study uses a science process skills test as the research instrument. The N-Gain analysis showed a moderate improvement of 0.335 in the experimental group, compared to a minimal improvement of 0.011 in the control group. A t-test (t = 6.84 > t = 1.673 at the 5% significance level) confirmed the significant effect of PjBL. The results indicate that PjBL effectively enhances students’ scientific skills, critical thinking, and creativity, making it a viable and innovative approach for science education. These results suggest that PjBL can be foundational to developing more integrated, context-driven approaches to science learning.]]>

<![CDATA[The need for culturally responsive science learning highlights the importance of assessment instruments that can capture students’ creative thinking skills. This study aims to analyze the validity and alignment of creative-thinking test items developed within a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) framework integrated with ethnoscience. The research used a Research and Development (R&D) design based on the ADDIE model, covering analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Essay-type questions were constructed to measure four indicators of creative thinking: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Content validity was assessed by material and assessment experts using Aiken’s V. In contrast, qualitative descriptive techniques were used to examine the suitability of the items with creative-thinking indicators and ethnoscience contexts. The results show that all test items achieved very high content validity, with Aiken’s V values ranging from 0.86 to 0.92. Each creative-thinking indicator was represented proportionally, and all items were judged relevant to local cultural practices, particularly the salt-making process in Pejot Village and keris-making traditions in Sakra Village, East Lombok. The study concludes that the developed instrument is valid and feasible for assessing creative thinking skills in PBL-based science learning integrated with ethnoscience. These findings suggest that culturally grounded assessment instruments can enhance science education by fostering deeper, more creative student engagement with scientific concepts.]]>
