Asrizal Asrizal; Annisa N.; Serli Ahzari; Helma Helma – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2025
The rapid development of technology in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has made it necessary for students to master technology and have data literacy and technology literacy skills. However, initial studies show that the data and technology literacy of grade XI high school students is still relatively low. This study aimed to investigate the…

Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…

Annisa Ulfa Yana; Supriyono Koes-Handayanto; Sahal Fawaiz; Fauzul Rizal – Journal of Learning for Development, 2025
Procedural and conceptual e-scaffolding has been shown to be effective for assisting novice learners in understanding new concepts. Its integration with modelling instructions (E-MI) raises expectations for improving scientific reasoning (SR) in students whose level is still a concern in Indonesia. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to find…

Kartini Herlina; Abdurrahman Abdurrahman; Ahmad Naufal Umam; Ayu Nurjanah; Ghani Fadhil Rabbani; Ficha Aulia Indah Pratiwi – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2025
Nowadays, physics learning in the classroom should no longer only focus on achieving academics. It must prepare students to face challenges in the future. One of the abilities that are important for learners is problem solving, and the problem-solving ability that is becoming increasingly important in today's digital era is computational thinking…

Tahani Mohammad ALebous – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2025
This study investigates the impact of blended learning on developing scientific thinking skills and self-efficacy among pre-service classroom teacher students. An experimental pretest-posttest design was employed to achieve the study's objectives. Two research instruments were developed: a scientific thinking skills test comprising 20 items and a…

Michael E. Robbins; Gabriel J. DiQuattro; Eric W. Burkholder – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Investigating and Improving Quantum Education through Research.] One of the greatest weaknesses of physics education research is the paucity of research on graduate education. While there are a growing number of investigations of graduate student degree progress and admissions, there are very few…

Wei-Zhao Shi; Chunying Zuo; Jingying Wang – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Previous research has shown that in prehigher education stages, inquiry-based teaching is not sufficient for forming a mature understanding of the nature of science (NOS). However, there is relatively little research conducted on colleges. Inquiry-based teaching should not overlook cognitive frameworks, as students' limited scientific reasoning…
