Ojhung is one of the indigenous Indonesian cultures from Sumenep Regency which contains relevant science concepts to be applied in science learning. Therefore, this research aimed to identify and explore the concepts of science contained in the Ojhung tradition while evaluating their relevance to the Merdeka or national curriculum. This research uses a qualitative design with a grounded theory based on scientific concepts in the Ojhung tradition and can be applied in science learning. The concepts of science that have been successfully explored and identified are Newton's Third Law, Sound Waves, Sense of Hearing, Pressure, Flexibility, Body Muscles, Moments of Inertia, and Skin Wounds. All concepts that have been explored can actualise learning outcomes in the Merdeka Curriculum. This research implies applying science concepts to Ojhung to improve public scientific literacy and science learning in schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study delves into the rich cultural tapestry of Indonesia by examining ten distinctive architectural wonders, offering insights into Ethno-STEAM education for university students. The study aims to analyse ten unique architectural marvels, evaluate students' understanding of ethno-STEAM, and explore their perceptions. The findings of our investigation reveal a multifaceted understanding of the architectural heritage of Indonesia, as well as insights into the effectiveness of ethno-STEAM education in fostering holistic learning experiences. Student understanding of Ethno-STEAM has increased significantly after learning. Their perception of ethno-STEAM has a significant positive effect, particularly regarding their cultural perspectives, STEAM understanding, and appreciation of cultural diversity. Guided by the Ethno-STEAM framework, educational interventions are designed to ignite curiosity, nurture creativity, and deepen appreciation for Indonesia's architectural heritage among university students.

Increased energy demand, acceleration of renewable energy, and response to climate change are global challenges that are being faced today. To overcome this, education for sustainable development (ESD) is a concept that can be implemented through the renewable energy learning project (RELP) in physics lessons. This study analyzes the project-based learning on the RELP concept and its influence on project design, communication, and critical thinking skills. By using a one-shot case study method on 37 high school students divided into five groups, two types of renewable energy works were created: solar and wind. The results found that the students had the above three skills in the high category. Additionally, project design and communication skills significantly influenced critical thinking. This research implies providing a project-based physics learning concept relevant to 21st-century skills while achieving ESD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Unbalanced natural cycles contribute to an increase in environmental and social issues as the effects of climate change are felt by the entire world community. The Covid-19 epidemic is crucial for determining how vital it is to incorporate environmental, social, and governance factors, particularly those that affect the banking industry. In emerging nations' economies, sustainable banking is now a well-known idea. Its application in Indonesian banking is influenced by additional circumstances. In this work, a mediation model that explains how a firm's reputation might relate to sustainable banking with enhancing corporate performance is developed and tested. The favorable adoption of sustainable banking improves the firm's reputation and performance, according to SEM-PLS findings using secondary data gathered from sustainability reports and annual reports for 45 issuer banks in Indonesia. This study adds to the body of knowledge on the application of sustainable banking in underdeveloped nations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A humanoid robot is capable of mimicking human movements, which poses a challenge for researchers. This has led some to utilise wheels to facilitate its motion. However, achieving smooth and accurate movements at desired positions remains a challenge, necessitating the development of an optimal control system and movement method. In this study, solutions to address these challenges include the use of type-2 fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and the swerve drive method. During the steering rotation movement testing, type-1 FLC exhibits the fastest response time of 0.8 seconds, but oscillations occur, reaching up to 117 degrees to achieve the set point of 90 degrees. Additionally, type-1 FLC cannot reach the set point of -90 degrees. On the contrary, type-2 FLC aligns successfully with both set points of 90 and -90 degrees. In coordinate movement testing, type-1 FLC still shows an error between 1 cm and 2 cm compared to type-2 FLC, particularly with 3 and 5 members, which are equal to the given set point. The results of the tests indicate that type-2 FLC is reliable, showing a small steady-state error, stability, and no overshoot, despite its longer response time and processing duration compared to type-1 FLC.

Although many studies have investigated whether blended project-based learning (BPjBL) is more effective in increasing student achievement compared to traditional learning models, previous research has shown inconsistent results. The aim of this research is to evaluate the impact of the BPjBL model on student learning achievement compared to traditional learning models. This study utilizes a group contrast meta-analysis approach by analyzing data from 13 primary studies that meet the inclusion criteria. The analysis results indicate that the use of the BPjBL model has a significant effect on student learning achievement with a combined effect size of 1.23 (large effect). Therefore, it can be concluded that the BPjBL model has a significant influence on student learning achievement compared to traditional learning models. Furthermore, the analysis based on moderator variables shows that the effect of the BPjBL model on student learning achievement differs based on educational level groups (Qb = 14.40; p < 0.05) and year of publication (Qb = 19.40; p < 0.05). However, there is no significant difference based on group sample size (Qb = 0.49; p > 0.05). The findings of this meta-analysis provide more accurate results in depicting the inconsistent variation in research effect sizes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is a wind power plant with many advantages, especially as a renewable energy source. Through the pocket of Science-Technology-Engineering-Art-Mathematics (STEAM) learning, this study designs a VAWT and explores the potential of this tool for learning. This study used a mixed-method embedded design with an experimental and interview type. The research results show that the influence of the number of blades and wind speed on voltage, current strength, and power is directly proportional. Therefore, VAWT can also be used as one of the projects for STEAM-based learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the physics learning difficulties is the low learning motivation. It is to learn because physics materials are considered to be complex, boring, and abstract for students. Therefore, this research developed an Augmented Reality (AR)-integrated game application "Adventuring Physics" based on android to create more fun physics learning and provide concept visualization on abstract materials so that the students become easier to understand. This study aims to develop a valid and practical application of Adventuring Physics games on physics learning. This research used Research and Development (R&D) design to develop the application. It has two main features: 'play games' and 'augmented reality'. Furthermore, the game's concept in this application is adapted to the physics materials. The AR feature can create visualizations in the form of 3D image projections of the material. The results of the validity assessment show that this application is declared valid, feasible, and reliable. In addition, the results of the practicality assessment showed that it is very practical to be used and worth to be implemented in physics learning. This research has implications as an application of Adventuring Physics that can motivate students to learn physics, and apply digital technology in education, and physics learning.
