Abstract

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is an essential ability that students must possess to manage their learning processes independently; however, in reality, this ability is still not optimal. One factor that has the potential to support the development of SRL is the role of teaching assistants in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the role of teaching assistants, examine their influence on the SRL of biology students, and explore the pedagogical mechanisms underlying this relationship. The study employed a mixed-methods approach with an embedded design, in which quantitative data served as the primary data and qualitative data as supporting data. The quantitative sample consisted of 207 students and 13 qualitative informants (10 students and 3 teaching assistants) selected through purposive sampling. The results showed that the role of teaching assistants was in the very high category (mean = 4.32), while students’ SRL was in the high category (mean = 4.20). The correlation value (R) of 0.630 indicates a positive relationship between the role of teaching assistants and SRL, with a contribution of 39.7% (R² = 0.397). The regression equation obtained was Y = 30.372 + 0.621X, indicating that each unit increase in the role of teaching assistants leads to an increase in students’ SRL. Pedagogically, this influence is mediated through learning facilitation, reflective feedback, and guided discussions. Therefore, teaching assistants play a strategic role in supporting students’ independent learning.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the lack of documentation of the use of ritual plants and traditional medicine by the Balesari village community, which is threatened with extinction due to modernization. In addition, it aims to identify and document the diversity of ritual plants and traditional medicine of the Balesari village community and analyze quantitative ethnobotanical indexes based on local knowledge, which contributes to the preservation of local knowledge, community adaptation to the environment, and strengthening biocultural resilience as a basis for sustainable conservation and development of traditional medicine. The research method used is a mixed method with an exploratory sequential design. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with the palace caretaker as a key informant and the palace area manager as an additional informant. Quantitative data were obtained through questionnaires to 92 Balesari village residents. Informants were selected through purposive sampling techniques followed by snowball sampling and qualitative and quantitative descriptive analyses were conducted using the ICF, RFC, and SUV indices. The results of the study identified 20 plant species from 12 families with a dominant Zingiberaceae that are used to treat diseases such as coughs, fever, worms, and to tighten the feminine area. The most frequently used plant parts are leaves with a PPUV value of 46.5% and rhizomes at 34.7%. Utilization of plant parts is carried out through boiling, grinding, or a combination of both. The ethnobotanical index shows a high consensus (ICF 0.75-1.00), the highest frequency of mention for Zingiber officinale and Kaempferia galanga (RFC=1), and the highest use value for Zingiber officinale (SUV=1.74) and the Moringaceae family (FUV=1.43). This reflects the strong local knowledge of the Balesari Village community in utilizing a diversity of ritual and health plants. This practice demonstrates the community's adaptation to environmental conditions in strengthening biocultural resilience through the transmission of traditional knowledge from generation to generation.

Abstract

Local food plants play an important role in supporting food security and the sustainable utilization of biological resources at the community level. However, information regarding the types and utilization patterns based on local knowledge is still limited, particularly in Gunungronggo Village. This study aims to identify the types of local food plants and analyze their utilization patterns using an ethnobotanical approach. The method used was a mixed-method (qualitative–quantitative) with an exploratory sequential design. Qualitative data were obtained through interviews with informants selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques, while quantitative data were collected from 92 respondents through questionnaires. The results showed that there were 24 species of food plants utilized, consisting of various growth forms dominated by herbs, trees, lianas, and shrubs. The highest Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) value of 0.99 indicates a strong agreement among the community regarding the use of plants as sources of carbohydrates and vegetables. The Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) showed the highest value of 1 for Colocasia esculenta, Oryza sativa, Zea mays, Musa sp., Carica papaya, Ipomoea aquatica, Ipomoea batatas, and Capsicum annuum. The highest Species Use Value (SUV) was found in Musa sp. with a value of 2.54. The family Musaceae had the highest Family Use Value (FUV) of 2.54, while the most utilized plant part was fruit (60.4%). The highest Fidelity Level (FL) value was found in Carica papaya, Durio zibethinus, Persea americana, Selenicereus undatus, Lansium domesticum, and Psidium guajava (100%), indicating high specificity of use. This study concludes that the utilization of local food plants in Gunungronggo Village is diverse, structured, and supported by strong local knowledge.

Abstract

Megengan is a ritual of gratitude and communal prayer practiced by the Javanese community, utilizing various plant species as the main components in the cultural procession to welcome the holy month of Ramadan. This study aims to identify, analyze, and document the plant species used, their utilization, symbolic meanings, as well as conservation efforts within the Megengan tradition in Kampung Budaya Polowijen. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-exploratory method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving traditional leaders and practitioners of the Megengan tradition. Key informants were determined using purposive sampling, which was then expanded through snowball sampling to obtain additional sources of information. Data were analyzed descriptively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that there are 12 plant species from 11 families utilized in the Megengan ritual procession, with plant parts used including flowers, leaves, fruits, seeds, and rhizomes. These plants serve both practical functions and philosophical meanings as spiritual and social symbols. Conservation efforts are reflected in the sources of the plants, which are mostly obtained from community cultivation. The conservation status of the identified species is largely categorized as not evaluated (50%), indicating that these species have not yet been scientifically assessed by official conservation institutions, thus further research is needed to support the preservation of biocultural knowledge. These findings highlight the role of the Megengan tradition in preserving ethnobotanical knowledge and maintaining harmony between the community and the environment.

Abstract

This study examines the use of plants in the Kenduren Jagad tradition in Andonosari Village, Pasuruan Regency as a form of community ethnobotanical practice. The method used is descriptive qualitative through interviews, observation, and documentation, with the determination of informants by purposive and snowball sampling and interactive model data analysis. The results of the study identified 23 plant species from 14 families, with a dominant herbaceous habitus (52%) compared to shrubs (48%). The use of plants is divided into three main patterns, namely as tumpeng food ingredients, ancak decorations, and symbolic in ritual processions. Plants used as food ingredients include broccoli, bean sprouts, and carrots, while most other types are used as ancak decorations to beautify the ritual appearance based on variations in shape and color. Symbolically, plants represent the values ​​of gratitude, prosperity, and balance in community life. Plant parts used include flowers, fruits, leaves, tubers, seeds, and pods, with the dominance of fruit and leaf organs. All plants are obtained through local cultivation with a relatively safe conservation status (least concern and not evaluated), so as not to put pressure on wild natural resources. This pattern demonstrates the close relationship between cultural practices and locally based biological resource management. Thus, the Kenduren Jagad tradition serves as a model for biocultural conservation that not only preserves biodiversity but also maintains the sustainability of the community's ethnobotanical knowledge.
