Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of students' critical thinking skills in relation to the issue of global warming when using Problem-Based Learning (PBL) e-worksheets assisted by PhET. Students from classes X2 and X4 participated in this study, which was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Seputih Raman during the odd semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. In this non-equivalent control group research design, the dependent variable is critical thinking skills, the moderator variable is the PBL model, and the independent variable is the PBL-based e-worksheet assisted by PhET. The study results indicate that the use of PBL-based e-worksheets assisted by PhET enhances students' critical thinking skills. This is confirmed by the n-gain test results, which show that the control class obtained a low score of 0.299, while the experimental class achieved a moderate score of 0.498. Additionally, the effect size test produced a score of 1.78, which falls into the very high category. In conclusion, compared to traditional video-based worksheets, PBL-based e-worksheets assisted by PhET have been proven to be significantly more effective in improving students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study is a survey study conducted because of the different tendencies between male and female students. In addition, there has been no study that specifically examines each SPS indicator of male and female students with the aim of showing weaknesses and strengths between them based on the SPS indicators. Based on this statement, this study aims to describe and compare the profiles of basic science process skills of male and female students. This study uses tests as instruments and quota sampling techniques to select grade X students from State Senior High Schools in Singkawang. Data were analyzed using a combination of quantitative descriptive analysis and comparative statistical tests. The results of the study showed that overall, most of the basic science process skill indicators were in the 'moderate' category for both genders. However, the communication indicator stood out in the 'high' category. Female students had an advantage in basic science process skills compared to male students, although both genders showed the same weaknesses. On the other hand, male students were only superior to female students in the measurement indicator.

Abstract

Critical and creative thinking skills are essential 21st century competencies needed to prepare students for global challenges and an evolving workforce. Despite their importance, the 2018 PISA results indicate that Indonesian students still exhibit low critical thinking skills, underscoring the need for more effective learning approaches. This take a look at goals to investigate the effect of the STEM-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on critical and creative thinking skills through a meta-analytic approach. The analysis included 20 articles published between 2018 and 2024, covering two variables: subject domains and learning materials. The findings discovered that STEM-based PjBL had a big impact, with excessive average impact sizes for essential questioning abilities, in particular in dynamic fluid topics, and for creative wondering talents in biodiversity subjects. PjBL combined with the STEM method effectively enhances students' analytical, communication, and collaboration skills through active engagement in real-world problem-solving. Therefore, the STEM-based PjBL model is a relevant approach to fostering critical and creative thinking skills in 21st-century education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the logical-mathematical thinking ability of prospective physics teacher students as a basis for designing learning strategies based on differentiated learning and computer simulation. The survey method involved 37 physics education study program students from one of the universities on the island of Timor. Data was collected through a logical thinking ability test covering five main types of reasoning: proportional, variable control, probability, correlation, and combinatorial. The analysis results showed that most students were at the level of transitional logical thinking (70 percent), while only 11 percent reached the formal level. The chi-squared test showed a significant relationship between the semester level and students' logical thinking ability. These results show the need for learning that supports the transition from concrete and transitional thinking to formal. Implementing computer simulation in statistical physics learning is recommended to improve students' logical-mathematical thinking skills, support the understanding of abstract concepts, and facilitate the success of complex physics learning.

Abstract

Physics learning emphasizes not only conceptual mastery but also the development of science process skills (SPS), which are essential for fostering critical, logical, and creative thinking. Previous studies have examined the influence of gender or motivation separately, but little attention has been given to their combined effect. This study aimed to investigate the influence of learning motivation and gender, both individually and interactively, on students’ SPS in physics learning. A quantitative survey with a comparative design was conducted involving 200 ninth-grade students (92 male and 110 female) at SMPN 4 Singkawang, selected using saturated sampling. Data were collected through a 22-item learning motivation questionnaire and a 10-item SPS test, and analyzed using two-way ANOVA after normality (Sig. = 0.200) and homogeneity (Sig. = 0.340) assumptions were met. The descriptive results showed a mean SPS score of 40.07 with a standard deviation of 13.47. The ANOVA results indicated that learning motivation (F = 1.866, Sig. = 0.137) and gender (F = 2.465, Sig. = 0.118) did not significantly affect SPS when considered separately. However, the interaction between motivation and gender was significant (F = 4.559, Sig. = 0.004), demonstrating that the combination of these variables influences students’ SPS outcomes. In conclusion, individual factors alone do not determine SPS, but their interplay shapes students’ scientific abilities. Therefore, instructional strategies in physics learning should integrate motivational and gender-responsive approaches to effectively enhance SPS.
