This study was motivated by the low level of students’ critical thinking skills and scientific literacy in physics learning. This condition is caused by learning practices that are still teacher-centered, resulting in limited student involvement in analyzing problems, evaluating information, and relating physics concepts to real-life phenomena. In addition, technological advancements in the I…
Physics learning in schools continues to face several challenges, particularly the low levels of students’ creative and collaborative thinking skills and the limited availability of contextual teaching materials integrated with local culture. This study aimed to develop META (Ethno-STEAM Module) based on Perahu Jong for fluid topics and to examine its effect on students’ creative and collab…
Education in the 21st century presents a complex challenge. The younger generation is expected to possess the 4Cs: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. One of the main pillars of the 21st century is Critical Thinking Skills (CTS). Critical thinking skills can be developed through physics education, particularly through the use of experimental methods. The experimenta…
Pendidikan merupakan usaha sadar dan terencana untuk mewujudkan suasana belajar dan pembelajaran yang menyenangkan agar siswa secara aktif mengembangkan potensi dirinya.

Educational institutions play a crucial role in shaping the future of society through quality education. In this era of dynamic change, education must adapt and evolve to meet increasingly complex demands. Education is an endeavor to enhance human resource potential through various means. To fulfill the requirements of an independent learning curriculum, classroom learning processes must employ…
Pembelajaran fisika di sekolah tidak hanya menekankan pada penyampaian materi, tetapi juga pada bagaimana siswa dapat aktif memahami konsep secara mendalam. Pada materi usaha dan energi, masih banyak siswa yang hanya sekadar menghafal rumus tanpa memahami makna konseptual serta penerapannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Kondisi ini menuntut adanya inovasi pembelajaran yang mampu menciptakan suas…
Kemampuan literasi sains siswa di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah, sebagaimana ditunjukkan oleh hasil PISA, yang salah satunya disebabkan oleh pembelajaran yang bersifat abstrak, konvensional, dan kurang mengaitkan materi dengan kehidupan nyata. Pada materi pesawat sederhana di SMP, guru cenderung menggunakan metode ceramah dan LKS yang monoton sehingga siswa pasif dan sulit menghubungkan kons…
Physics learning in Senior High School (SMA) still faces various challenges, particularly the low cognitive learning outcomes of students. Teacher-centered instruction that emphasizes rote memorization of formulas causes students to have a limited conceptual understanding of physics and difficulties in problem-solving. This condition was also found in physics learning on the topic of linear mot…
Science learning serves as a fundamental foundation in shaping students who possess scientific knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This learning becomes an important basis for students to understand natural concepts and to develop higher-order thinking skills, one of which is critical thinking. Learning is considered effective when students are not only able to memorize the material, but also…
The era of globalization demands that education continuously innovate to address advances in science and technology, as well as the dynamics of social life. The learning process no longer focuses solely on theoretical mastery of concepts but must also relate learning materials to the environmental context, technology, and social issues faced by students. In high school science instruction, part…
Education is the key to cultural preservation and building the future of a nation. The development of the education system in Indonesia has undergone constant change over time in line with educational demands and advances in science and technology. Education must prepare students to be critical thinkers so that they are able to respond to technological developments. Based on field studies condu…
In Physics learning, students are required to comprehend concepts holistically, demonstrate them through analytical reasoning, and relate them to everyday phenomena. In reality, low learning interest, a lack of active participation, and difficulties in understanding Physics concepts remain persistent challenges. This situation is exacerbated by teacher-centered instruction employing conventiona…
Saat ini perkembangan teknologi semakin maju menuntut adanya strategi pembelajaran yang lebih menarik dan efektif. IPA dipandang sebagai ilmu yang berperan besar dalam pengembangan pengetahuan dan teknologi sehingga diperlukan metode pembelajaran yang dapat meningkatkan pemahaman siswa, khususnya pada materi suhu dan kalor yang masih menjadi tantangan bagi banyak peserta didik. Berdasarkan…
Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh banyaknya sekolah yang melakukan proses pembelajaran berpusat pada guru dengan dominasi metode ceramah, sehingga siswa lebih banyak bergantung pada penjelasan guru dan kurang terlibat secara aktif dalam kegiatan belajar. Penggunaan variasi media pembelajaran juga masih terbatas, terutama media interaktif yang dapat menarik perhatian siswa dan mendukung …
Pembelajaran merupakan suatu aktivitas yang melibatkan interaksi antara peserta didik dengan guru, peserta didik dengan peserta didik, dengan bahan ajar, metode pembelajaran, media pembelajaran serta berkaitan dengan lingkungan sekolah. Keberhasilan pembelajaran terlihat dari tercapainya tujuan belajar yang diharapkan. Pembelajaran IPA secara terpadu dapat memberikan pengalaman serta kesempatan…
Pendidikan berperan penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia agar mampu bersaing di era global. Salah satu keterampilan abad ke-21 yang perlu dikembangkan adalah keterampilan berpikir kritis. Hasil studi internasional seperti Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa di Indonesia masih rendah. Kondisi ini disebabkan…
21st-century science education demands scientific literacy skills that not only understand scientific concepts but also critical thinking and the ability to relate science to everyday life. However, the 2022 PISA results show that Indonesian students' scientific literacy remains low, with a score of 383, below the OECD average of 485. This low score is due to the use of less interactive learnin…
Both formal and informal education serve as the basis for improving student quality. The implementation of education and learning is a complex endeavor, encompassing interactions between teachers and students, as well as guidance and direction for students to achieve learning objectives (Ketut et al., 2021:45). Several branches of science are studied in education, one of which is Natural Scienc…
IPA is an abbreviation of Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (Natural Science), a translation of the English word "Natural Science." Natural means natural or related to nature. Science means knowledge. So, literally, IPA means the study of nature or the study of natural phenomena (Barus, 2022:18). A common problem in the learning process is a lack of student interest in learning, due to boredom with monoton…
Education plays a crucial role in shaping the quality, potential, abilities, and character of students.
