Abstract

This study aimed to develop supplementary teaching materials for the Lower Plant Botany course in the form of a contextual resource integrating text, images, tables, and local examples to support independent learning on Pteridophyta based on the ecological potential of the coastal area of Waai Village, Maluku. The study employed a Research and Development approach using the Four-D (4D) model, consisting of define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. Ecological inventory data of coastal ferns served as the foundation of the material content. A total of nineteen fern species were identified and systematically integrated into the teaching materials to support contextual learning. Unlike previous local-potential-based materials, this product was developed from a systematic inventory of coastal fern species, allowing field-based ecological data to be transformed into instructional examples for higher education biology learning. The materials were evaluated through expert validation involving specialists in content, media, and language, as well as a student readability test with biology education undergraduates. The average expert validity score was 79.0%, indicating that the materials were valid with minor revisions, while student readability scores ranged from 92.00% to 95.00%, categorized as very good. Although learning effectiveness was not examined, the findings indicate that teaching materials derived from local ecological inventory data are feasible as contextual supplementary resources in preservice biology teacher education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the critical thinking skills of students in the Biology Education Study Program at Pattimura University in solving Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions related to modern biotechnology. A descriptive research method was employed, utilizing a test instrument and unstructured interviews to identify factors influencing student performance. The measured critical thinking indicators include clarification, assessment, inference, and strategy. The analysis results indicate that the average student score was 72.5, categorized as "good." Students demonstrated strong abilities in clarification (78), assessment (81), and strategy (70) but encountered difficulties in inference (61). The score variation, with a standard deviation of 11.95, reflects differences in students' proficiency levels. Factors affecting these results include academic background, experience in scientific argumentation, and access to learning resources. The findings highlight the need to strengthen inference skills through discussion-based learning, case studies, and problem-based learning strategies. Enhancing critical thinking skills is expected to better prepare students for challenges in the educational field and enable them to guide learners in developing analytical thinking abilities.

Abstract

School-Based Management (SBM) enables schools to exercise greater autonomy in managing educational programs, resources, services, and stakeholder relationships in accordance with institutional and contextual needs. This study examined the profile of perceived SBM implementation among participating senior high schools in Ambon City using a six-factor framework incorporating the local context of Maluku. A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted involving 97 respondents from 10 public and private senior high schools. Schools were selected purposively, while quota-based recruitment was used to target approximately 10 respondents from each school. Data were collected using a 48-item, four-point Likert questionnaire organized into six empirically derived factors. Internal consistency across the six factors was adequate to very high (Cronbach’s α = 0.797–0.966). Quality-Oriented Leadership and Capacity Development recorded the highest mean score (M = 3.895, SD = 0.238), closely followed by Context-Responsive Adaptive Governance (M = 3.893, SD = 0.219). Collaborative and Contextual Governance showed the relatively lowest mean (M = 3.680, SD = 0.583) and the greatest variability. Item- and school-level profiles further indicated uneven implementation, particularly in community engagement, local-context integration, resource management, student support, and distinctive school programs. The findings suggest that SBM in the participating schools was perceived positively, although implementation profiles varied across governance dimensions. Efforts to strengthen SBM may therefore benefit from sustaining internal leadership and adaptive capacity while enhancing community partnerships and the systematic integration of Maluku’s social, cultural, and geographical characteristics into school programs.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate a guided inquiry-based Cell Biology practicum guide integrated with Maluku local wisdom and to examine students’ responses to the developed product. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model, limited to the Define, Design, and Develop stages. The research involved six expert validators and 20 second-semester Biology Education students in a limited trial. Data were collected using expert validation sheets and a student response questionnaire and analyzed using Aiken’s V, feasibility percentages, Cronbach’s Alpha, and descriptive statistics. The results showed an average Aiken’s V score of 0.86, indicating high validity, while the overall feasibility percentage reached 89.05%, categorized as highly feasible. The student response questionnaire demonstrated high reliability with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.819. Student responses reached 83.25%, categorized as good. These findings indicate that the developed practicum guide is valid, feasible, and suitable for limited implementation in Cell Biology learning.
