While Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is recognized for its potential to develop students' critical thinking, the integration of real-world contexts, particularly disaster mitigation, remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a STEAM-based water filter mitigation project in fostering students' critical thinking skills. Employing a true experimental posttest-only control group design, the study involved 58 seventh-grade students from SMP Negeri 3 Kembang Jepara, selected via cluster random sampling. The experimental group implemented the STEAM project, while the control group received teacher-centered conventional instruction. Data were collected through achievement tests and student response questionnaires, followed by independent t-test analysis. The findings reveal that students engaged in the STEAM-based project demonstrated significantly higher critical thinking skills than those in the conventional group. This study confirms that STEAM-based water filter mitigation projects effectively develop critical thinking and reinforce 21st-century skills, including creativity, collaboration, and communication. Furthermore, integrating mathematics into real-world contexts through STEAM serves as a crucial strategy to enhance students' awareness of disaster mitigation issues.

Computational Thinking (CT) is an essential competence for students in vocational education to support problem-solving, systematic thinking, and adaptability to workplace demands. However, the development of CT in vocational high schools is often limited to technical instruction and has not been fully integrated into students’ learning culture. This study aims to examine the role of Virtual Reality (VR) Game-Based Learning in strengthening the culture of computational thinking among vocational high school students. The study focuses on how VR-based game learning activities foster habitual patterns of logical, systematic, and problem-solving thinking within vocational classroom practices. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through classroom observations, analysis of learning activities, and student reflections, this research explores changes in student engagement, learning interactions, and thinking habits during the implementation of VR Game-Based Learning. The findings indicate that VR-based games create an immersive and contextual learning environment that encourages active participation, collaboration, and sustained engagement, contributing to the formation of a computational thinking culture relevant to vocational learning contexts. This study suggests that VR Game-Based Learning can function as an effective pedagogical practice to support the development of a positive learning culture aligned with the needs of vocational education.

Learning plays a crucial role in fostering students’ critical thinking skills, enabling them to address the challenges they face in their daily lives. This study was conducted in Sumedang, West Java, where students experience limited water availability. The main water sources are located far from residential areas, requiring students to make long trips each morning to fetch water from a distant river. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore how students employ critical thinking skills while engaging in contextual STEM learning through the development of a non-electric water pump project. The project involved seventh-grade students participating in science classes using a contextual STEM approach over one semester. Data were collected and analysed through observation, document analysis, and audio and video recordings using Transcript-Based Lesson Analysis. Indicators of critical thinking such as questioning, articulating assumptions, and demonstrating open-mindedness were observed during the STEM learning process of designing the non-electric water pump. The emergence of these skills varied across learning phases, individual characteristics, and group dynamics. Contextual STEM learning not only promotes critical thinking but also equips students with essential life skills for global competition in the 21st century by preparing them to solve real-world problems. The findings of this study provide insights for educators in designing more meaningful science learning experiences in the future.

This study focuses on the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in Asta Aiswarya's learning as an effort to improve the quality of students' theological processes and understanding in Hindu Religious Education at SMP Negeri 2 Nuhon. The purpose of this study is to describe the dynamics of PBL implementation, analyze the responses of students and teachers, and identify the contribution of PBL to improving the understanding of Asta Aiswarya concepts. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design through learning observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that PBL transforms learning from lecture patterns into collaborative inquiry processes that encourage students to actively discuss, connect theological concepts with personal experiences, and reflect on the spiritual significance of Asta Aiswarya's eight aspects. Teachers play an effective role as facilitators of theological dialogue so that students' understanding develops not only on a cognitive level, but also on the affective and reflective dimensions. This research contributes to the expansion of the study of Hindu pedagogy by showing that PBL can be a spiritually valuable learning framework that facilitates meaning-making and religious awareness. The results of the study emphasized the importance of using problem-based learning models in religious education to build a deeper and more relevant understanding of students' lives.
