Abstract

Objective: This article aims to examine the implications for student learning by investigating student errors through the lens of the pigeonhole principle and the Javanese calendar. Method: The study used a descriptive qualitative research method and included six high school students and vocational students. Data collection involved tests and interviews. The researchers focused on Ethnomathematics problems related to the Javanese calendar system. Result: The analysis of student responses revealed several types of errors based on Watson's criteria for error analysis in problem-solving. These errors included inappropriate data, inappropriate procedure, and undirected manipulation. Students struggled with understanding the given information, selecting appropriate procedures, and applying logical reasoning. Novelty: Interestingly, the researchers found that when the students were provided with guidance and assistance, they were able to grasp the concepts and successfully solve the problems. This suggests that the students had the potential to understand the material but lacked prior exposure to the concepts, particularly the pigeonhole principle.

Abstract

Objective: This study synthesizes research on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in physics education within the framework of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). It aims to map current trends, highlight educational opportunities, and identify research gaps regarding AI’s potential to enhance learning outcomes and foster sustainability competencies. Method: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A total of 48 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025 were collected from major academic databases and Google Scholar using Boolean search strings combining terms related to AI, physics education, and ESD. The data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns in AI technologies, physics content areas, ESD dimensions, methodologies, and educational outcomes. Results: The findings indicate that machine learning, deep learning, intelligent tutoring systems, and AI-powered virtual laboratories are the most common applications in physics education. These technologies were primarily applied in mechanics, electricity, and energy-related topics, with limited studies focusing on environmental physics. While AI consistently improved motivation, achievement, and critical thinking, the integration of broader ESD competencies remained uneven, with environmental literacy, social responsibility, and ethical reasoning less frequently addressed. Novelty: This study contributes by linking AI, physics education, and ESD, which are often studied separately, and proposes a conceptual roadmap to align AI integration with sustainable education goals.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to describe the application of adiabatic coupler modification in efficient optical coupler engineering and to emphasize its contribution to the achievement of SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure). Method: The method used is a literature study through a review of relevant articles and Python software-based analysis to evaluate the impact of coupler modifications, as an effort to strengthen theoretical findings.  Results:  The results of this study show that the invariance principle-based reverse engineering approach is practical in designing directional couplers on waveguides. Combined with perturbation analysis of the coupled mode equations, this method produces directional couplers that are highly robust to parameter variations such as coupling coefficient and wavelength. However, changes in scale or resonance through Python integration do not significantly affect the apparent deviation of the coupler wave, so the efficiency of the coupler is mainly determined by the coupling coefficient and wavelength variations. Novelty: This study highlights the novelty of utilizing the invariance principle and resonance modification as an efficient and straightforward approach for adiabatic coupler optimization. Furthermore, the results demonstrate the significant contribution of adiabatic couplers to SDG 9 through their support for the development of sustainable optical communication infrastructure, increased energy efficiency, and innovation in next-generation optical technologies.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to synthesise research on the application of Multiple Intelligences (MI) in digital physics learning within the framework of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The goal is to map trends, highlight opportunities for personalised, sustainability-oriented learning, and identify gaps that hinder the integration of MI and digital technologies to foster sustainability competencies. Method: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Articles were collected from Google Scholar, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ERIC, and ScienceDirect, limited to peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2023 in English or Indonesian. Forty eligible studies were analysed thematically and through content analysis. Results: The findings show that MI-based digital learning enhances students' motivation, engagement, conceptual understanding, and academic performance. Interactive simulations, video-based modules, virtual experiments, and AR/VR applications offer personalised learning aligned with students' dominant intelligences. MI also supports ESD competencies such as critical thinking, collaboration, and sustainability awareness, though aspects like environmental literacy, social responsibility, and ethical reasoning remain underexplored. Novelty: This review uniquely links the MI, physics education, and ESD domains, which are rarely integrated in prior studies. It emphasises MI's potential to enhance cognitive outcomes while embedding sustainability values into physics education. A conceptual roadmap is proposed to align MI-based digital physics learning with the Sustainable Development Goals.
