Problem-Based Learning Enhances Mathematics Engagement: A Multivariate Examination of Motivation and Interest
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: Mathematics learning requires instructional approaches that improve not only cognitive achievement but also affective aspects, particularly students' motivation and interest. This study aimed to examine the effects of PBL on mathematics learning motivation, learning interest, and both variables simultaneously. Methodology: A quantitative quasi-experimental study employing a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was conducted with 71 tenth-grade students selected through cluster random sampling. The experimental group received PBL, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data were collected using the Mathematics Motivation Questionnaire (16 items) and the Interest in Mathematics Questionnaire (20 items) and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). Main Findings: The results showed that PBL significantly improved mathematics learning motivation (Partial Eta Squared = 0.761) and learning interest (Partial Eta Squared = 0.581). MANOVA further confirmed a significant simultaneous effect of PBL on both affective variables (Wilks’ Lambda = 0.216, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that authentic problem solving, collaboration, and active learning in PBL foster multiple affective outcomes simultaneously. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in the simultaneous examination of mathematics learning motivation and interest using MANOVA while positioning student engagement as the conceptual mechanism underlying PBL effectiveness. The findings provide empirical support for implementing PBL as a student-centered approach to strengthen affective outcomes in mathematics education and offer a foundation for future studies using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the underlying mechanisms.

Student and Teacher Responses to the Use of Media and Teaching Tools in the STEM Boardgame
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to determine the responses of students and teachers to the use of media and teaching tools in the STEM Boardgame, an integrated learning tool that combines board games, teaching modules, and worksheets in STEM learning in elementary schools. Methodology: The study used a quantitative descriptive survey design. The subjects consisted of 27 fifth-grade students and one teacher, selected using purposive sampling based on their direct involvement in learning. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire with 38 items for students and 39 for teachers, each covering aspects of game and teaching devices. The student instrument was tested for reliability, yielding a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.924. Data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive methods. Main Findings: Students' responses to the game device aspect reached 83.04% (Very Good) and the teaching device aspect 80.93% (Very Good), with an overall average of 81.99% (Very Good). Teacher responses to the game device aspect reached 92.19% (Very Good) and the teaching device aspect 79.35% (Good), with an average of 85.77% (Very Good). Teachers placed greater emphasis on the board-game aspect, while students rated the teaching-device aspect higher. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study specifically evaluates user responses to integrated STEM learning tools that encompass two aspects simultaneously-the game tool (board game) and the teaching tool from two direct user perspectives. Unlike previous studies, which generally examine only one aspect at a time, this study provides a more comprehensive empirical picture.

Enabling Factor Dominance in Women Farmer Group Participation: Time Availability and Production Resource Access
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study analyzed the simultaneous and partial influences of seven internal and external factors: age, education level, motivation, time availability, family support, access to production resources, and group management. Methodology: A census-based quantitative survey enrolled all 40 KWT members as respondents. Structured Likert-scale (1–5) questionnaires were administered and validated through item-total correlation analysis (r-critical = 0.312) and Cronbach's alpha reliability testing (α = 0.897). Ordinal data were transformed to an interval scale using the Method of Successive Intervals (MSI). Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression in SPSS v.25, preceded by normality (Kolmogorov–Smirnov), multicollinearity (VIF), heteroscedasticity (Glejser), and autocorrelation (Durbin–Watson) assumption tests at α = 0.05. Main Findings: All seven variables simultaneously and significantly influenced member participation (F = 11.002; p = 0.000; R² = 70.6%). Partial analysis confirmed that only time availability (β = 0.361; p = 0.005) and production resource access (β = 0.430; p = 0.007) were significant predictors, with production resource access being the strongest. Age, education level, motivation, family support, and group management showed no significant partial effects, with group management exhibiting a negative coefficient attributable to the free-rider effect. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study empirically demonstrates that enabling factors, time availability, and access to production resources dominate psychological, demographic, and managerial factors in determining actual KWT member participation. It simultaneously tests seven internal and external variables in a food-production-based empowerment context, reveals the intention-behavior gap mechanism, and proposes a structural-barrier-reduction framework for empowering agricultural women’s groups.

Environmental Impact of Domestic Waste on Soil and Water Quality in St. Thomas Parish, Jamaica
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aimed to analyze the impact of domestic waste on environmental conditions in St. Thomas Parish, Jamaica, from environmental and public health perspectives. Methodology: A mixed-methods approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, combining environmental sampling (soil and water analysis) and field observations with community-based insights. Data were collected from multiple sampling sites representing coastal, residential, and semi-urban areas and analyzed using descriptive statistical and qualitative techniques. Main Findings: The findings revealed that domestic waste is dominated by organic (46–55%) and plastic (30–39%) components, with daily waste volumes reaching up to 35 kg per site. Soil quality showed acidic conditions (pH 5.6–6.2) with moderate to high contamination, while water quality was characterized by elevated turbidity (18–25 NTU) and microbial presence. Environmental assessments indicated degraded to severely degraded conditions, which were supported by community reports of inadequate waste management practices, such as open dumping and burning. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a localized, integrative analysis linking environmental degradation with community waste practices in a less-explored parish-level setting, offering new insights into the intersection of environmental science and public health.

Empirical Correlation of Compressive and Flexural Strengths in 20 Mpa Rigid Pavement Concrete: Effects of Varied Cement Brands and South Sumatra Local Aggregates
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: The study aims to determine empirical conversion coefficients between compressive strength (f'c) and flexural strength (fs) for a 20 MPa rigid pavement concrete design and to evaluate the specific effects of local South Sumatra aggregates combined with three distinct regional cement brands. Methodology: Laboratory experimental methods utilized 18 specimens (9 cylinders, 9 beams). Aggregates underwent sieve analysis, specific gravity testing, and moisture testing in accordance with SNI standards. Mechanical tests used a compressive strength machine and a two-point loading flexural apparatus. Materials comprised Musi River sand, Baturaja gravel, and Baturaja, Tiga Roda, and Dynamix cements. Data analysis used linear regression models. Main Findings: All variations exceeded the 20 MPa design target. Dynamix cement achieved the highest mean compressive strength (26.23 MPa), while Baturaja cement produced the highest mean flexural strength (3.22 MPa). The derived empirical conversion coefficients (fs √f’c) were 0.67 for Baturaja, 0.66 for Tiga Roda, and 0.62 for Dynamix. The collective correlation yielded a linear regression equation of y = 0.0219x + 2.6131 with R² = 0.2731. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study establishes unique, brand-specific empirical conversion factors for pavement concrete formulated with unique South Sumatra regional aggregates. It directly advances existing engineering knowledge by demonstrating how localized combinations of raw materials deviate from generalized national standard formulas, enabling field engineers to confidently perform rapid quality control without resource-intensive on-site beam trial mixes.

Mapping Students’ Misconceptions in Momentum and Impulse: A Systematic Literature Review of Conceptual Understanding and Instructional Interventions
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to identify and analyze students’ misconceptions regarding momentum and impulse through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), focusing on patterns of misconceptions, difficulties in conceptual understanding, and effective instructional interventions reported in previous studies. Methodology: This study employed a PRISMA-based Systematic Literature Review design. Articles were collected from Scopus-indexed journals, SINTA-accredited journals, ERIC, Taylor & Francis, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar published between 2018 and 2025. The article selection process used purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. From 1,032 identified articles, 8 eligible studies were selected for analysis. Data were collected through document analysis and analyzed using thematic analysis and narrative synthesis. Main Findings: The findings indicate that students’ conceptual understanding of momentum and impulse remains low, while misconceptions persist in force–time–impulse relationships, graphical interpretation, momentum conservation, and momentum–energy integration. Most misconceptions originate from an incomplete understanding of Newtonian mechanics and fragmented conceptual structures. Several instructional approaches, including multiple representations, knowledge integration, cognitive conflict, conceptual change text, and demonstration-based learning, were found effective in reducing misconceptions and improving conceptual understanding. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a focused synthesis of misconception patterns specifically in momentum and impulse topics and emphasizes the importance of conceptual integration-based instruction in reducing persistent misconceptions in physics learning.

Beyond Mean Comparison: Assessing the Proportional Diostribution of Critical Thinking Mastery in Problem Based Learning on Pressure Concepts Using Chi-Square Analysis
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: The study evaluates the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in improving students’ critical thinking mastery of pressure concepts by analyzing the proportional distribution of mastery rather than relying solely on mean score comparisons. Methodology: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design was employed with 60 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling from intact classes. Students were assigned to a PBL group (n=30) or a conventional instruction group (n=30). Critical thinking was measured using a validated 10-item multiple-choice test adapted from Ennis’s indicators. Baseline equivalence was tested with the Mann–Whitney U test, within-group mastery shifts with McNemar’s test, and between-group distributional differences with the Chi-square test of independence. Reliability was confirmed (Cronbach’s α = 0.86). Main Findings: The PBL group achieved a significantly higher mastery rate (83%) compared to the conventional group (60%), χ²(1) = 4.02, p = 0.045, with a moderate effect size (Cramer’s V = 0.26). McNemar’s test confirmed a statistically significant mastery transition within the PBL class (p < 0.05). The strongest gains occurred in analytical explanation and inferential reasoning dimensions. Novelty/Originality of this study: Analyzing mastery distribution reveals equitable learning outcomes that mean comparisons obscure. The findings demonstrate that PBL systematically shifts categorical achievement toward competency thresholds, particularly in higher-order cognitive dimensions. In practice, this supports the adoption of distributional analysis in classroom assessment. The study’s novelty lies in its methodological shift from continuous mean scoring to categorical mastery distribution, offering a more pedagogically relevant framework for evaluating instructional equity.

Negative-Worded Items Functioning as Method Artifacts in the Chemistry Identity Scale: Evidence from Exploratory, Confirmatory, and Bifactor Analyses
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: Chemistry identity is an important affective construct in science education because it is associated with learning engagement, academic persistence, and STEM career aspirations. This study aims to evaluate whether negatively worded items represent substantive dimensions of the construct or merely methodological artifacts. Methodology: This study involved 300 senior high school students in Indonesia who completed the Chemistry Identity Scale, consisting of 27 items, including five negatively worded items. Data were analyzed using a comprehensive psychometric approach that incorporated exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and bifactor modeling to distinguish substantive construct variance from method variance attributable to item wording. Main Findings: The findings showed that negatively worded items tended to form a distinct cluster during the exploratory stage, indicating shared method variance. The best-fitting CFA model was the four-factor model with an additional negative wording method factor. Bifactor analysis revealed the dominance of a general chemistry identity factor; however, negatively worded items contributed minimally to the general construct, suggesting that these items function more as sources of method variance than as substantive indicators. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive evaluation of wording effects in chemistry identity measurement through the integration of EFA, competitive CFA, and bifactor modeling. These findings have practical implications for educational instrument developers, highlighting the need for greater caution when using negatively worded items, as they may affect score interpretation and lead to less accurate evaluative decisions.

Science Self-Efficacy (SSE) Relationship on Cognitive Learning Outcomes amongst The Ecology Concept
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: Science Self-Efficacy (SSE) is important for students because it is directly related to their belief in their ability to learn and complete science tasks. Students with high SSE tend to be more confident, do not give up easily when faced with difficulties, and have greater motivation and involvement in the science learning process. This study aims to determine the effect of SSE on students’ cognitive learning outcomes in the Ecology concept, focusing solely on identifying the relationship between these two variables. Methodology: This research utilized a quantitative ex post facto correlational design with Simple Random Sampling. The instruments used were a 30-item Science Self-Efficacy (SSE) questionnaire and a cognitive learning test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation in SPSS version 27 to determine relationships among variables. Main Findings: The study revealed that students’ Science Self-Efficacy (SSE) was predominantly categorized as High, with 60% of participants reaching this level. The Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.623 and the significance value of 0.001 indicated a positive, significant relationship between SSE and cognitive learning outcomes. These findings confirm that higher levels of SSE strongly contribute to improved cognitive performance in learning the Ecology concept. Novelty/Originality of this study: This studies rarely examine Science Self-Efficacy (SSE) as a domain-specific construct related to higher-order cognitive outcomes in Ecology, its dimensions (magnitude, strength, and generality), or evidence from multicultural contexts such as Indonesian schools abroad.

Teacher Efforts To Improve Science Process Skills: Observation, Classification, and Data Table Making
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to systematically identify, analyze, and synthesize various teacher strategies used in science learning to develop students' Science Process Skills (SPS). The study focuses on developing indicators for observation, classification, and data tabulation as basic and integrated scientific skills. Methodology: This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, adhering to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The unit of analysis was scientific articles, not human participants. Thirty articles meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected through identification, screening, and eligibility assessment. They were then analyzed using document analysis and thematic synthesis. Main Findings: The study results indicate that active, experiential, and inquiry-oriented learning strategies, such as Guided Inquiry, Experimentation, and Project-Based Learning (PjBL), have proven effective in improving basic Science Process Skills, particularly the observation and classification indicators. However, this systematic review also revealed significant strategic weaknesses in the data table creation indicator. These weaknesses are caused by teachers' limitations in designing learning activities that explicitly involve data processing, visualization, and representation as the basis for students' scientific argumentation. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research lies in the systematic mapping of the development gaps in data table creation indicators in science learning practices. This study provides a conceptual contribution by confirming that strengthening data processing and representation skills is a crucial component that bridges basic Science Process Skills to more complex and meaningful integrated science process skills.

Methodology: This study employed a systematic literature review and comparative analysis with secondary data from WHO, UNICEF, and the World Bank. Data collection was conducted through international databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive quantitative analysis and thematic qualitative analysis using a matrix-based instrument. Main Findings: Research shows that more than 2.2 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water and 3.4 billion people lack adequate sanitation services, with the greatest disparities occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Innovations such as smart water monitoring, low-cost filtration, rainwater harvesting, and community-based sanitation programs have proven to have significant impact. However, persistent barriers include limited funding, social inequality, climate change, and weak governance. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research integrates technological innovation, public health approaches, community participation, and policy frameworks into a comprehensive analysis of clean water and sanitation. Unlike previous research that focused solely on technical or health aspects, this study expands knowledge by mapping multidimensional strategies and providing practical recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders.

The Influence of Democratic Leadership Style and Quality of Work Life on Science Teacher Performance
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study investigates the influence of democratic leadership style and quality of work life (QWL) on teacher performance in junior high schools. Methodology: The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a causal-associative design, involving 65 teachers from two schools in Tempuran Subdistrict, Karawang. Data were collected through validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression. Main Findings: The findings reveal that both democratic leadership style and QWL have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, both partially and simultaneously, with a combined contribution of 52.4%. These results underscore the importance of participatory leadership practices and teacher well-being in enhancing professionalism and productivity within educational settings. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The novelty of this research lies in its integration of leadership and QWL into a single analytical model, whereas most prior studies examined these variables independently. By situating the study within the context of regional public schools, it offers new perspectives on educational management in environments that often face resource and welfare challenges. The implications are substantial for school principals and policymakers, as the findings highlight the need to strengthen human-centered leadership practices and establish supportive work conditions that foster job satisfaction, recognition, and commitment, ultimately improving student learning outcomes.
