Abstract

The implementation of diagnostic assessments in the Independent Curriculum is a crucial step in mapping students' initial abilities and designing appropriate learning strategies. This study aims to identify obstacles to the implementation of diagnostic assessments in deep learning-based biology learning in public senior high schools in Bandar Lampung City, encompassing the planning, implementation, and follow-up stages. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of three public senior high schools, four biology teachers, and 69 tenth-grade students studying Biodiversity. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the implementation of diagnostic assessments was not optimal. Only two schools had implemented cognitive and non-cognitive diagnostic assessments, while one school had not implemented them at all. The main obstacles lay in limited school facilities and the low level of socialization regarding the Independent Curriculum, particularly the implementation of diagnostic assessments in innovative, deep learning-oriented biology learning. However, limited understanding and institutional support remained a significant obstacle. This study recommends improving teacher training, providing supporting facilities, and implementing more systematic assessment follow-up policies

Abstract

The integration of digital learning media in biology instruction is increasingly important for enhancing students’ higher-order thinking skills, particularly in topics that involve abstract concepts and complex terminology, such as plant reproductive systems. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness of a crossword puzzle-based e-module using Eclipse Crossword to improve the critical thinking skills of Grade IX students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri 01 Bandar Lampung. Employing a Research and Development design adapted from Borg and Gall, the study involved expert validation, readability testing, student response analysis, and an effectiveness test using a pretest–posttest control group design. Data were collected through validation sheets, questionnaires, observation, documentation, and critical thinking tests, and were analyzed using percentage scores, N-Gain, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test. The results showed that the developed e-module was highly feasible, with validation scores of 89.3% from media experts and 91.7% from material experts. The readability test indicated that 90% of students perceived the module as clear, engaging, and easy to use. The effectiveness test demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills, with the experimental class achieving a higher posttest mean score than the control class and a moderate N-Gain score of 0.4403, compared with 0.1371 in the control class. Students also responded positively to the module, indicating that it was interactive, challenging, and helpful for understanding biological concepts. These findings imply that Eclipse Crossword-based e-modules can serve as an innovative and practical digital learning medium to support critical thinking development in biology learning.

Abstract

Creative thinking and emotional intelligence are essential competencies for students facing the demands of twenty-first-century biology learning. Preliminary data at SMA Negeri 12 Bandar Lampung showed that Grade X students' creative thinking ability was still in the less creative category (average 36%), while emotional intelligence was categorized as poor (average 40%). This study examined the effect of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model on students' creative thinking ability and emotional intelligence in Grade X Biology, particularly on the topic of environmental pollution. A quantitative quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design was employed. The population comprised all Grade X students in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year (N = 337). Through cluster random sampling, Class X.4 (n = 34) was assigned as the experimental group and Class X.1 (n = 34) as the control group. Data were collected using a validated creative thinking essay test, an emotional intelligence questionnaire, and observation sheets. Instrument reliability was very high for both the creative thinking test (Cronbach's alpha = 0.821) and the emotional intelligence questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha = 0.877). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, N-gain, prerequisite testing, and independent samples t-tests through SPSS version 25. The findings showed significant differences between experimental and control groups in creative thinking ability, t(66) = 13.844, p < 0.05, and emotional intelligence, t(66) = 15.440, p < 0.05. The experimental group achieved N-gain scores of 80.91% for creative thinking and 80.51% for emotional intelligence, both in the excellent category, whereas the control group obtained 35.18% and 45.23%, respectively. Visualized indicator-level data further showed that all creative thinking indicators and all emotional intelligence indicators reached very high categories in the experimental group. These results indicate that PjBL is more effective than direct instruction in strengthening creative thinking and emotional intelligence in biology learning. The study contributes empirical evidence for integrating authentic environmental projects into secondary biology instruction.
