“…It is reported that students' understanding and conceptual development, including critical thinking, can be fostered by the use of virtual based experiments (Pucholt, 2020). Developing students' critical thinking is vital to their higherorder thinking skills (Yulianti, Pratiwi, et al, 2020). The use of PhET was claimed to be very effective to teach Dutch secondary schools' students the concept of quantum wave phenomena (van den Berg, van Rossum, Grijsen, Pol, & van der Veen, 2020).…”

Until recently, not only students in middle high schools but also in a university have difficulties in understanding either mathematical representations or physical concept behind scientific phenomena. Those difficulties are then associated with a low level of critical thinking. For instance, in physics, it seems to be not easy for students to attain proper relation among wave speed, wavelength, and frequency. This unproper understanding contributes to students’ low critical thinking skill. One of the most effective ways to overcome the problem is to use student-centred learning with interactive, animated, and game-like learning experiences. Guided inquiry learning and a freely App “Physics Education Technology (PhET)” are believed to meet the criteria. This study focused on the students’ knowledge construction process to be able to think critically the wave-related concepts. This PhET-assisted guided inquiry learning strategy was addressed to 25 students at a junior high school in Indonesia. The objective is to explore the stages of inquiry learning approach using PhET, especially on training them to attain their critical thinking skill. This is a qualitative study that purely involves in-class observation. The lesson plan and student worksheets were prepared as the research instruments. As the results, we found that the use of PhET in the guided inquiry learning model can help students acquire to learn the concept of wave speed, wavelength, and frequency with critical thinking.

“…Essentially, the 21st century skill topic above inevitably correlates to this movement in preparing physics students to face the future complex challenge of their modern real world. Students are expected to acquire several skills that they learn through physics learning in terms of scientific literacy (refers to keywords "scientific_literacy", "knowledge", "scientific"), higher order thinking skills (HOTS) (refers to "thinking_skill" and "higher_order") [197][198][199], and another form of "thinking" processes [200][201][202][203][204][205][206]. Research movements on scientific literacy in this topic can be driven by the international announcements of Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assessment for Indonesian secondary students [207][208][209][210][211][212][213][214][215][216][217].…”

Abundant physics education research (PER) literature has been disseminated through academic publications. Over the years, the growing body of literature challenges Indonesian PER scholars to understand how the research community has progressed and possible future work that should be encouraged. Nevertheless, the previous traditional method of thematic analysis possesses limitations when the amount of PER literature exponentially increases. In order to deal with this plethora of publications, one of the machine learning (ML) algorithms from natural language processing (NLP) studies was employed in this paper to automate a thematic analysis of Indonesian PER literature that still needs to be explored within the community. One of the well-known NLP algorithms, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), was used in this study to extract Indonesian PER topics and their evolution between 2014 and 2021. A total of 852 papers (~4 to 8 pages each) were collectively downloaded from five international conference proceedings organized, peer reviewed, and published by Indonesian PER researchers. Before their topics were modeled through the LDA algorithm, our data corpus was preprocessed through several common procedures of established NLP studies. The findings revealed that LDA had thematically quantified Indonesian PER topics and described their distinct development over a certain period. The identified topics from this study recommended that the Indonesian PER community establish robust development in eight distinct topics to the present. Here, we commenced with an initial interest focusing on research on physics laboratories and followed the research-based instruction in late 2015. For the past few years, the Indonesian PER scholars have mostly studied 21st century skills which have given way to a focus on developing relevant educational technologies and promoting the interdisciplinary aspects of physics education. We suggest an open room for Indonesian PER scholars to address the qualitative aspects of physics teaching and learning that is still scant within the literature.

STEM education is one of the latest learning approaches, particularly in Indonesia. STEM integrates four scopes of studies including Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM approach requires an appropriate learning model in order to achieve the effectiveness of learning objectives. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness aspects of implementing PjBL learning model in STEM education. This study was conducted by analysing journals examined the effectiveness of the application of PjBL learning model in STEM education. The syntax in the PjBL which includes planning, creating, processing, and evaluating has similarities with the steps in implementing STEM learning. As a form of integration of the four fields of study or a combination of several fields, STEM learning was applied to overcome contextual problems through designing, executing (processing), and evaluating. The effectiveness of using the PjBL learning model in STEM education is generally supported by its characteristics. Based on the review of seven journals that link PjBL and STEM, it is known that PjBL is one of the learning models which is significantly appropriate to be implemented in STEM education to increase the effectiveness of this approach.
