Abstract

Plant structure and tissues constitute fundamental topics in senior high school biology; however, students’ learning outcomes in this area remain unsatisfactory due to conceptual complexity and limited instructional support. To address this issue, this study aimed to develop and examine the effectiveness of an inquiry-based interactive e-module for learning plant structure and tissues at the senior high school level. The study employed a Research and Development approach using Thiagarajan’s 4-D model, which consists of the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The dissemination stage was conducted through an experimental method using a pretest–posttest control group design. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, questionnaires, observations, and learning outcome tests, and analyzed using descriptive techniques and an independent samples t-test. The results indicate that the developed inquiry-based e-module is pedagogically feasible and statistically effective in improving students’ learning outcomes compared to conventional instruction. The e-module can function both as an independent learning resource and as an instructional support within classroom and online learning environments. This study contributes empirical evidence that integrating inquiry-based pedagogy into digital learning modules enhances conceptual understanding and supports more active and independent learning in biology education.

Abstract

The diversity of bird species illustrates the range of species present across ecosystems, which is characterized by variations in morphology, behavior, ecological roles, and their adaptability to environmental conditions. In mangrove ecosystems, birds function as important biological components that contribute to maintaining ecological balance and overall system stability. This research was conducted to determine the diversity level and composition of water bird species in the mangrove area of Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh, in order to provide scientific information for conservation planning and sustainable ecosystem management. The study applied an exploratory survey method by carrying out direct observations at selected sampling points based on purposive sampling considerations. Fieldwork was conducted in December 2025 within the mangrove ecosystem of Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh. The collected data on water bird diversity were processed and analyzed using the Shannon–Wiener diversity index formula. The observation results recorded a total of 291 individual water birds, consisting of 10 species grouped into 5 families. The calculated diversity index value (H' = 2.010429) indicates a moderate diversity category. These findings demonstrate that the mangrove ecosystem in Syiah Kuala District still has the capacity to support biodiversity. Therefore, proper management and continuous conservation efforts are necessary to ensure the sustainability of this ecosystem.
