Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of AI-driven learning technologies in Indonesia, yet digital disparities particularly between urban and rural students persist. While prior studies have explored AI literacy, self-efficacy, or resilience separately, little is known about how these psychological and digital competencies interact to support academic success across diverse socio-geographic settings in Indonesia. This study investigates how AI literacy and digital self-efficacy influence academic performance, with learning resilience as a mediator and school location as a moderator. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was conducted with 452 university students selected through convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Multi-Group Analysis (MGA). Results show that AI literacy (β = 0.33, p < 0.05) and digital self-efficacy (β = 0.41, p < 0.01) significantly enhance learning resilience, which in turn predicts academic performance (β = 0.35, p < 0.01). Mediation was confirmed via bootstrapping, indicating that learning resilience fully mediates the effect of both predictors on GPA. MGA results show that these effects are significantly stronger among urban students. The findings highlight the need to strengthen psychological and digital capacities, especially in rural settings. By linking student adaptability to academic success, this study directly supports the Merdeka Belajar policy’s emphasis on differentiated, technology-supported learning and reinforces the urgency of targeted interventions for equitable education in the AI era.

Abstract

Digital literacy can be defined as an attitude in analyzing and evaluating effectively in various learning. Learning in the 21st century requires efforts to adapt to changes due to the rapid advancement of technological knowledge. Digital literacy skills in Indonesia are still classified as moderate with a digital literacy index of 3.49. This study aims to determine the validity of the items, reliability, distinguishing power and level of difficulty by using the quizwhizzer application in measuring digital literacy of junior high school students. This research is a type of development research that refers to the Borg and Gall development model procedure which has several stages including analysis, planning, product design development, validation, product revision, initial trial, and final trial. The results of the expert validity research analysis have an average of 75.4% and all items are declared valid and have a reliability value with an average of 0.636. The analysis of the differentiation and difficulty level of the items was good enough. The conclusion of this development research is a science learning assessment using the quizwhizzer application to measure the digital literacy of junior high school students that is valid, reliable and feasible to use in the evaluation process.

Abstract

Entrepreneurial interest plays a crucial role in shaping independent and innovative graduates, particularly in the field of economics education, where students are expected to lead entrepreneurial transformation. Recent evidence indicates a persistent gap between entrepreneurial awareness and actual entrepreneurial action among university graduates in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the predictive roles of internal religiosity, self-confidence, and sense of responsibility on students’ entrepreneurial interest. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed, involving 250 undergraduate students from Economics Education programs at two universities, selected using purposive probability sampling. Data were collected through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that all three independent variables internal religiosity, self-confidence, and sense of responsibility exert positive and significant effects on entrepreneurial interest, both individually and collectively. These results underscore the importance of integrating psychological and moral dimensions into efforts to enhance students’ readiness for entrepreneurial engagement. This study contributes to the enrichment of entrepreneurship education theory by incorporating a character-based psychological model and offers practical insights for curriculum developers to integrate value-based entrepreneurship training into higher education.

Abstract

In the 21st century, students’ creativity needs to be developed to confront global change. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Cooperative learning to enhance on students’ creativity across all dimensions. PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) was used as the methodology. The results showed that cooperative learning can foster dimensions of creativity: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Specifically, fluency is supported by Student Teams Achievement Division, Think-Pair-Share and Numbered Heads Together, and the integration of digital gamification with Cooperative Learning. Flexibility is supported by Jigsaw/Group Investigation and the integration of digital gamification with cooperative learning. Originality is supported by Think-Pair-Share and Numbered Heads Together, Cooperative-Project Based learning, and the integration of digital gamification with cooperative learning. Elaboration strengthens Student Teams Achievement Division, Jigsaw/Groups Investigation, and Cooperative-Project Based learning. Mediators supporting cooperative learning include teacher competence, classroom climate, task design, evaluation, and digital access. The new of this study are student orientation, integration of cooperative learning with digitalization, and model comparison. The conclusion is that cooperative learning can enhance students’ creativity through fluency, flexibility, originality, and elabotation, which are strengthened by digital integration and supportive classroom factor.

Abstract

Computational Thinking (CT) has increasingly been recognized as a foundational competence in STEM education; however, effective pedagogical strategies that support equitable development of CT skills across students with diverse initial abilities remain underexplored. This study examines the impact of interactive programming media on students’ CT development within a STEM learning context. Employing a quasi-experimental design, two groups of upper secondary students participated in either Code.org–supported instruction or conventional learning. Students’ CT skills were assessed before and after the intervention using a CT-oriented problem-solving instrument.The findings indicate that students who engaged with interactive programming activities demonstrated substantially greater improvement in overall CT performance compared to those in conventional learning environments. Moreover, the results suggest that learning gains were largely independent of students’ initial ability levels, indicating an equalizing effect of interactive programming-based instruction. Improvements were observed across core CT components, including decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking. These findings contribute to the theoretical discourse on CT pedagogy by highlighting the role of interactive programming environments as mechanisms that mediate learning equity in STEM education. Pedagogically, the study underscores the potential of block-based programming platforms to support inclusive and conceptually grounded CT learning, particularly in contexts characterized by heterogeneous student readiness.

Abstract

Abstract. This study investigated the efficacy of a training program based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, employing educational infographics to address perceptual deficits and improve basic academic skills in primary-grade children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Utilizing a quasi-experimental intensive one-group pretest–posttest–follow-up design, the research focused on a purposive sample of six children (four males, two females) aged 6–8 years. Data were collected through standardized perceptual scales and a researcher-developed assessment of literacy and numeracy. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in visual perception (Z = -2.201, p < .05, r_{prb} = 0.89$) and basic academic performance (Z = -2.201, p < .05, r_{prb} = 1.00). Follow-up assessments indicated that gains were maintained one month post-intervention. The findings suggest that UDL-aligned infographics facilitated perceptual integration and enhanced instructional accessibility for participants. While the limited sample size restricts broader generalizability, these results provide preliminary evidence supporting visual mediation as a strategy to bridge the perceptual-academic gap in neurodiverse learners.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an educational software platform that supports Indonesian students in learning stock market behavior by addressing low financial literacy, limited analytical skills, and emotion-driven investment decisions. The proposed platform integrates historical data from liquid IDX80 stocks with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) forecasting model enhanced by technical indicators and calendar-based market features, and presents predicted price movements and trend classifications through an interactive, user-friendly learning interface. Experimental results show that the model achieved strong predictive performance on most IDX80 stocks, demonstrating its ability to capture temporal price patterns, while the inclusion of technical and calendar-based features improved prediction clarity and trend interpretability for student users. Variations in forecasting accuracy across stocks indicate that liquidity and volatility influence model performance, highlighting the importance of contextual interpretation in learning. In conclusion, the findings indicate that integrating LSTM-based forecasting with instructional design principles can support experiential and data-driven investment learning, and the developed platform demonstrates strong potential as both a forecasting tool and an educational technology medium for supporting financial literacy development.

Abstract

. Existing non-test assessment instruments in science learning are often generic, less interactive, and insufficiently contextualized to address complex and socioscientific topics such as global warming. This limitation makes it difficult for teachers to assess students’ learning responses, engagement, and understanding in a meaningful way. Therefore, this study aims to develop and validate a Genially-based non-test assessment instrument specifically designed for global warming material, and to examine its feasibility as formative feedback to support instructional planning. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which was selected due to its systematic and iterative structure that supports instructional product development and evaluation. The instrument was developed and tested on 30 respondents consisting of students and general users as initial users of the media, selected through random sampling for preliminary field testing. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed to determine content validity, construct validity, reliability, and feasibility. The results indicate that all 19 instrument items are valid across five aspects: ease of use, presentation appeal, benefits, integration of Islamic values, and socio-scientific issues. The instrument demonstrated very high reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.957. The feasibility analysis showed an average user response score of 76.45%, which falls into the “feasible” category, indicating that the instrument is appropriate for assessing learning media use in global warming instruction. This study contributes a validated, interactive non-test assessment instrument that can support teachers in conducting formative science assessment and evaluating students’ learning responses in global warming topics. Despite the limited sample size, the findings provide initial evidence of the instrument’s potential applicability and offer a foundation for further large-scale testing and refinement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potential of applying the Ecotropis STEM approach in improving forestry literacy among elementary school students. Forestry literacy in this study is positioned as part of environmental science literacy that emphasizes conceptual understanding, ecological awareness, and concern for the preservation of forest resources through contextual learning based on tropical ecosystems. The study used a quasi-experimental design with unequal experimental and control groups. The research sample consisted of 41 elementary school students, with 18 students in the experimental class and 23 students in the control class. The research instrument was a 20-item multiple-choice test that had undergone content validation and reliability testing. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and Independent Sample t-tests to compare the learning outcomes of the two groups. The results of the analysis showed that the average posttest scores of students in the experimental class were higher than those in the control class. However, the results of the inferential statistical test showed that the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). These findings indicate that the application of the Ecotropis STEM approach has not been empirically proven to have a significant effect on improving students' forestry literacy, although descriptively there is a tendency for learning outcomes to improve in the experimental group. The insignificant difference in learning outcomes between groups is thought to be influenced by several factors, including the relatively limited sample size, the short duration of the learning intervention, and the adaptation process of teachers and students to the learning approach applied. Therefore, the findings of this study need to be interpreted cautiously as an initial indication of the potential of the Ecotropis STEM approach, rather than as conclusive evidence of its effectiveness. Overall, this study provides an initial contribution to the development of Ecotropis STEM-based learning in primary education and emphasizes the need for further research with a stronger methodological design, longer intervention duration, and larger sample size to obtain more convincing conclusions.

Abstract

This study aims to map and synthesize research on the integration of indigenous knowledge in science education published between 2015 and 2025. A systematic literature network analysis (SLNA) was employed by combining PRISMA-guided screening with bibliometric and science mapping techniques. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database, yielding 667 initial records that were refined through duplicate removal, title and abstract screening, and full-text eligibility assessment based on predefined criteria. This process resulted in a final corpus of 56 core articles. Biblioshiny and VOSviewer were used to analyze publication trends, citation relationships, thematic structures, and bibliographic coupling patterns. The findings indicate a consistent growth in research output, largely concentrated in Anglophone countries, with emerging cross-regional collaboration. Three dominant research streams were identified: curriculum contextualization, environmental sustainability, and culturally sustaining pedagogies. Bibliographic coupling further reveals a distinction between established theoretical frameworks and emerging pedagogical and epistemological approaches. The study concludes that indigenous knowledge integration in science education represents a rapidly evolving research field and provides a systematic conceptual mapping to support more inclusive, context-sensitive, and epistemically plural science learning.
