Abstract

Indonesia is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, creating an urgent need for disaster preparedness education to enhance students’ competencies in responding to disaster situations. This study aimed to develop BISA Media (Disaster: Information, Solutions, and Action) and examine its effectiveness in improving the hard skills and soft skills of Biology Education students at Universitas Negeri Medan in dealing with natural disasters. The study employed a Research and Development approach based on a modified Borg and Gall model consisting of needs analysis, prototype design, expert validation, product revision, limited trial, and final revision. The developed product was an educational video integrating disaster information, biology-based solutions, and action-oriented disaster response simulations. The results revealed that BISA Media achieved a very high validity level, with an average validation score of 3.73 (93.3%) and an Aiken’s V value of 0.91. The implementation of the media significantly improved students’ hard skills, as indicated by an increase in mean scores from 61.25 on the pretest to 86.70 on the posttest, with an N-Gain score of 0.76 (high category). Students’ soft skills also improved from 70.6% to 88.4%, with an N-Gain score of 0.72 (high category). Positive user responses reached 93%, indicating high acceptance of the media. Therefore, BISA Media is feasible and effective for enhancing disaster preparedness competencies among Biology Education students. Future studies are recommended to develop more interactive digital features and implement the media on a broader scale. Keywords: BISA Media; disaster preparedness; hard skills; soft skills; biology education; disaster mitigation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze science identity as a predictor of agency in the Anthropocene among prospective science teacher students at Medan State University. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational-predictive design. The sample consisted of 71 fifth-semester prospective science teachers who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through two self-report instruments, namely a science identity instrument covering the dimensions Performance, Competence, and Recognition, and an instrument of agency in the Anthropocene covering the dimensions Sense of Agency, Ecological Care, and Transformative Action. Both instruments used a four-point Likert scale with 18 items in each variable. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality test, linearity test, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The results show that science identity has a mean of 57.90 (SD = 4.899), while agency in the Anthropocene has a mean of 61.66 (SD = 5.918). The correlation test shows a positive and significant relationship between science identity and agency in the Anthropocene (r = 0.549; p < 0.001). The regression results indicate that science identity is a significant predictor of agency in the Anthropocene (B = 0.663; β = 0.549; t = 5.451; p < 0.001), with a contribution of 30.1% (R² = 0.301). These findings highlight the importance of science identity in explaining the readiness of agency in the Anthropocene among prospective science teacher students.
