Abstract

This study aims to analyze the learning style profiles of ninth grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Kupang and to examine their implications for the development of differentiated, technology based science e-modules. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed involving 344 students from eleven classes. Data were collected using a VAK (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) learning style questionnaire and analyzed using percentage distributions and the Simpson diversity index to describe classroom heterogeneity. The results revealed that students learning styles were relatively balanced, with an average proportion of 32.9% visual, 30.7% auditory, and 36.4% kinesthetic learners. The diversity index across classes ranged from 0.49 to 0.67, with an average of 0.65, indicating a moderate to high level of heterogeneity in learning style preferences within classrooms. While several classes showed balanced distributions, one class was dominated by kinesthetic learners, highlighting variations in instructional needs among classes. These findings suggest that science learning at the junior high school level should not rely on uniform instructional strategies, but instead adopt differentiated and multimodal approaches that can accommodate diverse learning preferences. The identified learning style profiles provide an empirical basis for designing interactive and differentiated science e-modules that integrate visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning pathways. Such e-modules are expected to support student engagement, autonomy, and conceptual understanding, and to foster more inclusive and student centered science learning in line with current curriculum demands.

Abstract

Scientific literacy is a key competency emphasized in the PISA 2025 framework and serves as a benchmark for science education quality in Indonesia. However, Indonesian students’ performance remains below the OECD average, indicating the need for more effective and conceptually grounded learning approaches. This study aims to systematically review science learning models that enhance students’ scientific literacy from a deep learning perspective. The review followed the PRISMA 2020 protocol and analyzed forty-two articles published between 2015 and 2025 from scopus, web of science, springerlink, eric, and google scholar. Thematic analysis identified five dominant learning models—problem-based learning, project-based learning, STEM education, inquiry learning, and discovery learning—as effective in fostering conceptual understanding, reflective thinking, and scientific reasoning. These models encourage students to explore, connect, and apply scientific concepts in authentic contexts. The findings highlight that innovative pedagogical approaches grounded in deep learning principles can transform science education by promoting higher-order thinking, sustainable learning, and the development of scientifically literate citizens

Abstract

Creative thinking is an important 21st-century competency because it enables students to generate original, valuable, and applicable ideas. However, various studies show that this skill among elementary school students is still low, influenced by pedagogical barriers and limited opportunities for divergent thinking. This study aims to analyze the effect of integrating digital research and outdoor learning in STEM Project-Based Learning (STEM-PjBL) on students' creative thinking skills, as well as to measure the magnitude of the effect produced. The study used a pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design with 38 fourth-grade students divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group received STEM-PjBL learning enriched with digital research and outdoor learning activities, while the control group received STEM learning. The creative thinking skills instruments met the validity and reliability requirements, and the data passed the normality and homogeneity tests. Paired Samples t-test analysis showed that control group experienced a significant increase (p=0.007), with an average difference of 1.105 points. Meanwhile, the experimental group showed a much greater and highly significant increase (p=0.000), with an average difference of 4.263 points. Furthermore, the difference in posttest scores was very significant, with a medium effect on the control group (d=0.34) and a large effect on the experimental group (d=2.38). The intergroup comparison also showed a large effect too (d=1.57). These findings indicate that integrating digital research and outdoor learning in STEM-PjBL had a stronger effect than the control group to strengthen creative thinking skills in aspects of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration in elementary school students.

Abstract

Environmental literacy abilities must be developed early on due to the complexity of environmental issues. Based on the literature, young Indonesians typically have a lack of environmental literacy. Environmental literacy must therefore be ingrained from a young age, especially through education. The aims of this study is examining how well a biodiversity e-module centered on conservation may raise junior high school students' environmental literacy. One group pre-test and post-test were employed in the study. Students in the seventh grade at SMPN 1 Wanasalam in the Lebak Regency, Province of Banten were part of the research sample. The environmental literacy tool was updated to align with the biodiversity and conservation content and was adapted from NELA's MSELI. The information gathered was transformed utilizing the NELA methodologies and interpretations to ascertain the degree of environmental literacy among the pupils. N-Gain tests, paired sample t-tests, Wilcoxon tests, and normality tests were among the statistical tests used to assess the effectiveness of the created e-module. The findings demonstrated that pupils' environmental literacy has improved from low to intermediate. In contrast, the average score increased but was constant in the skill, attitude, and conduct areas. According to the N-gain value, which was 0.46 for the knowledge domain, 0.40 for the skills domain, 0.35 for behavior, and 0.23 for the attitude domain, the use of e-modules was quite successful in raising students' environmental literacy

Abstract

Molecular structure material discusses the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule and is abstract in nature, often making it difficult for students to understand. This difficulty is also caused by students' inability to visualize molecules. Spatial visual intelligence plays an important role in learning abstract chemistry concepts because it helps students understand shapes and structures through pictures, diagrams, or 3D models. One effective way to train this intelligence is by using technology-based learning media. Augmented Reality technology is one innovation that allows students to interact with abstract material. The research method used was Research and Development (RnD) with a 4D model (Define, Design, Development, Disseminate), but modified to the Development stage. In the Design stage, an augmented reality prototype was developed using Assemblr Edu software to create molecules in 3D form. The research subjects were 21 grade XI students at IPIEMS High School in Surabaya. The research results showed that the augmented reality-integrated E-LAPD was declared valid with a median score of ≥ 4 on content and construct validity. Student response questionnaires obtained a score of 95.53%, and observations of student activities reached 97.33%, both categorized as very practical. The effectiveness of LAPD was demonstrated by a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores for students' visual-spatial intelligence and an effectiveness score with an N-Gain of 0.66 (moderate category). Thus, the developed product is suitable for training students' visual-spatial intelligence in chemical molecular structures
