This study examines the effects of the STEM Modelling Design Thinking (STEM MDT) compared to the STEM Project Based Learning (STEM PjBL), particularly in the context of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), in enhancing students' scientific modeling skills. Using a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent pre-test and post-test control groups, the study involved 108 ninth-grade students in the experimental group (55 students) who participated in the STEM MDT, while the control group (53 students) engaged in STEM PjBL. Data were collected by evaluating scientific modeling skills before and after the intervention. The results indicated that the STEM MDT significantly improved students' scientific modeling skills, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to very large (Cohen’s d = .91), compared to moderate improvement (Cohen’s d = .43). These findings suggest that integrating ESD within the STEM MDT framework not only enhances scientific modeling competencies but also equips students to address complex real-world challenges. This study highlights the potential of STEM MDT as an innovative pedagogical approach for educators and policymakers seeking to cultivate essential skills in future generations.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">935-955</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anwari Adi Nugroho</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sajidan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suranto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mohammad Masykuri</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE EFFECTS OF SOCIO-SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY BASED LEARNING ON STUDENTS' PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biology education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">experimental study</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">inquiry learning</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">problem-solving</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">socio-scientific issues</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2025</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">February/2025</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://oaji.net/articles/2023/987-1740921620.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Future needs and challenges, especially in complex real-world problem-solving, require education to equip individuals with quality skills. Inquiry-based learning that integrates socio-scientific issues (SSI) can significantly develop students' problem-solving skills. This study aims to test the effects of the Socio-Scientific Real-world Inquiry (SSRI) learning model in improving problem-solving skills. This study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design, which involved measuring problem-solving skills before and after the intervention in two groups: the experimental group (44 students) with a socio-scientific real-world inquiry learning model and the control group (46 students) with inquiry learning. Differences in pretest and posttest scores on each aspect of problem-solving skills were analyzed using a paired sample t-test, while an independent sample t-test was used to compare posttest scores between the two groups. Analyze the effect size of each aspect of problem-solving skills in the control group and experimental group using Cohen's Effect Size (ES). The results showed that the SSRI learning model was significantly more effective in improving problem-solving skills than inquiry learning. The findings suggest that SSRI can be an effective learning approach for empowering educators and guiding educational policymakers in fostering essential problem-solving skills for future generations.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">149-168</style></section></record></records></xml>
