Empirical Correlation of Compressive and Flexural Strengths in 20 Mpa Rigid Pavement Concrete: Effects of Varied Cement Brands and South Sumatra Local Aggregates
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
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
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.

Enabling Factor Dominance in Women Farmer Group Participation: Time Availability and Production Resource Access
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.

Negative-Worded Items Functioning as Method Artifacts in the Chemistry Identity Scale: Evidence from Exploratory, Confirmatory, and Bifactor Analyses
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
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.

Podcasts and Papers: Using AI to Engage Undergraduates in Scientific Literacy in Biology
Purpose of the study: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a valuable tool for science education, for both students and instructors. This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of using AI-generated podcasts to introduce undergraduates to primary scientific literature as a teaching pedagogy. Methodology: Google NotebookLM was used to generate audio podcasts on ten different scientific journal articles for an undergraduate ecology course. Students were surveyed on how engaging, informative, and helpful podcasts were, and whether they helped introduce them to the research article. Data were collected from Likert-scale questionnaires and short responses and analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Teacher Efforts To Improve Science Process Skills: Observation, Classification, and Data Table Making
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.
