Abstract

Purpose of the study: To evaluate the development of students’ perceptions of their ability to write scientific articles and to identify the parts of scientific articles that are most understood and most difficult to understand by students. Methodology: This cohort survey research was conducted by distributing questionnaires twice, namely in December 2024 and March 2025. The first survey was distributed via Microsoft Form during an online socialization event that focused on the writing of scientific articles from undergraduate theses. There were 67 students present at the event. The second survey was conducted in person during a socialization event that introduced scientific journals affiliated with the Biology Education Study Program at Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Syiah Kuala. The event was attended by 68 students. The data obtained were subsequently analyzed using descriptive statistics. Main Findings: There has been a positive development in students’ perception of their ability to write scientific articles. In addition, this research successfully identified the parts of scientific articles that are most understood and those that are still difficult for students to comprehend. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research uses a longitudinal survey, specifically a cohort survey, to obtain a comprehensive evaluation of the development of students’ perceptions in writing scientific articles.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to describe the practicum activities carried out in the Plant Physiology practicum activities of the Biology Education Tadris Laboratory, IAIN Batusangkar. Methodology: This descriptive study combines the accuracy of numerical data and a more profound understanding through observation and interviews. The population in this study were all students who took the plant physiology practicum course in the odd semester of 2019, totaling 96 people and six laboratory assistants. Data collection consisted of quantitative data collection using questionnaires and qualitative data through interviews and observations. Quantitative data analysis was carried out using the average percentage score for each activity. Furthermore, qualitative data analysis from observations and interviews was carried out by bringing up themes and information patterns from practicum activities to support quantitative data. Main Findings: Data analysis indicates that the practicum activities have been executed efficiently, evidenced by a planning score of 80.56 and an implementation score of 79.42. Additionally, the score for follow-up activity was 93.66. The overall average percentage of practicum activity execution was 84.55, indicating good category. Novelty/Originality of this study: The activities of the practicum are detailed in this article, including planning, implementation, and follow-up. In order to generate comprehensive data, the analysis employs descriptive methods that are supplemented by observational data. Research data was collected from all parties involved in the practicum activities, including students, practicum assistants, and laboratory assistants. In contrast to other researchers who exclusively employ qualitative data with samples of practicum participants.
