Abstract

In the digital transformation era, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education provides new opportunities to enhance students’ understanding and engagement in physics learning. This study aims to examine how AI-augmented contextual learning can enhance physics literacy among secondary school students. Physics literacy refers to students’ ability to understand, interpret, and apply physics concepts in solving real-world problems, supported by critical and analytical thinking skills. The AI-augmented contextual learning approach combines contextualized learning experiences—where physics concepts are related to everyday life situations—with AI-based tools such as virtual simulations, intelligent feedback systems, and adaptive learning platforms. This mixed-method study involves both quantitative and qualitative analyses to evaluate improvements in students’ literacy levels, conceptual understanding, and learning motivation. The expected results indicate that the integration of AI within contextual learning environments fosters deeper conceptual comprehension, strengthens problem-solving abilities, and encourages students to view physics as relevant and meaningful in daily life. Therefore, this research contributes to promoting innovative, future-oriented physics education by leveraging AI technology to cultivate scientifically literate and future-ready learners.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the initial stages of a study on the effect of the use of PhET simulation media and the flexibility of online practicums on physics learning outcomes of students at MTs Baiturrahman NW Pemepek in the digital era. The background of this study is based on the need to integrate simulation-based learning technology into the physics teaching and learning process to make it more interactive and effective. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method involving two groups of students as research subjects. In the initial stage, research activities focused on developing instruments and collecting initial data through five multiple-choice questions to measure students' initial abilities before being given treatment using PhET simulation media. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively to describe students' initial level of understanding of physics material. Preliminary results show variations in the level of concept mastery among students, which will later become the basis for implementing simulation media and online practicums in the next stage. This study is expected to contribute to the development of digital learning strategies in the madrasah environment.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the project-based learning (PjBL) model on science process skills and students' creative thinking abilities in fluid materials through a literature study approach and bibliometric analysis. Data were collected using the Publish or Perish application with the keywords "project based learning", "science process skills", "creative thinking skills", and "fluids". The search results produced a number of articles which were then screened based on relevance and eligibility criteria. The inclusion criteria consisted of: (1) articles published in peer-reviewed journals, (2) studies focusing on the implementation of the PjBL model in science or physics learning, (3) research discussing science process skills and/or creative thinking skills, and (4) publications available in the last ten years and written in English. Based on these criteria, 20 main articles were selected for further analysis. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using the VOSviewer application to map research trends, relationships between topics, and the development of publications related to PjBL in physics learning. The results show that the PjBL model is consistently reported to improve students' science process skills and creative thinking skills, particularly in fluid materials. This model encourages active student engagement through project activities, contextual problem-solving, and collaboration, thereby positively influencing conceptual understanding and the development of 21st-century skills. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of a systematic literature review with bibliometric analysis to comprehensively map the research landscape of PjBL related to science process skills and creative thinking in fluid learning. This approach not only synthesizes empirical findings but also identifies research trends and thematic relationships, providing a clearer direction for future studies in physics education.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of video-based learning media on students’ ability to write narrative texts and their reading interest. The background of the study lies in the low literacy and writing performance among students due to monotonous learning approaches that rely heavily on textbooks. This study applied a quasi-experimental method involving two groups of elementary school students: the experimental group using video-based media and the control group using conventional methods. The novelty of this study lies in the integrated examination of both narrative writing ability and reading interest through the use of video-based learning media, which is still rarely explored simultaneously at the elementary education level. The data were collected through writing tests and reading interest questionnaires, analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The results show that video-based learning significantly enhances students’ narrative writing ability and stimulates reading interest through audio-visual engagement. The findings suggest that integrating video-based media can create a more interactive and motivating literacy learning environment and contribute to the development of innovative literacy instruction strategies.

Abstract

School readiness is a multidimensional construct encompassing physical, social–emotional, cognitive, and language and early literacy development. Although overall readiness classifications are commonly used, they may mask domain-specific developmental vulnerabilities that influence children’s transition to formal schooling. This study examined patterns of school readiness among 360 Sri Lankan preschool children using the Early Childhood Development Assessment (ECDA), a standardized national tool assessing 22 indicators across four developmental domains. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design was employed, and descriptive statistical analysis (frequencies and percentages) was used to examine overall readiness levels and domain-specific developmental patterns. Results showed that 65.6% of children were classified as Level 1 (Good), while 34.4% required additional or intensive support (Levels 2 and 3). The most significant developmental vulnerabilities were observed in social–emotional development, early numeracy, spatial reasoning, and language and early literacy skills, particularly phonological awareness and information processing. Children in Level 3 exhibited substantial difficulties across all developmental domains. These findings highlight the importance of domain-sensitive assessment and targeted early interventions to address developmental gaps and support smoother transitions from preschool to primary education in Sri Lanka.
