Abstract

The development of science and technology in the food sector requires people to have the ability to understand scientific food processing processes and implement sustainable consumption patterns. Scientific literacy is one of the important competencies that needs to be developed to help individuals understand the relationship between science, technology, the environment, and everyday life. Food processing technology not only functions to improve the quality, safety, and shelf life of food products, but can also be used as a contextual learning medium in developing students' scientific literacy. Through food processing technology-based learning, students can understand scientific concepts such as physical and chemical changes in food ingredients, the influence of microorganisms, preservation principles, and food safety aspects. Apart from that, this learning is able to raise awareness about the importance of responsible, efficient, and environmentally friendly food consumption. This article aims to examine the role of food processing technology as a means of developing scientific literacy and forming awareness of sustainable food consumption. The study was carried out through analysis of various relevant literature sources regarding science education, food technology, and sustainable development. The results of the study show that the integration of food processing technology in learning is able to increase understanding of scientific concepts, critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and students' awareness of the importance of sustainable food systems in supporting food security and environmental preservation.

Abstract

Teacher professionalism is one of the key factors influencing the quality of education and the effectiveness of learning implementation in schools. This study aimed to explore teacher professionalism in learning implementation at SMP Negeri 5 Lahewa, North Nias Regency, Indonesia. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the school principal and a science teacher as key informants. The collected data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings revealed that teacher professionalism at SMP Negeri 5 Lahewa is generally well implemented. Most teachers have obtained teaching certification and demonstrate commitment to their professional responsibilities. Teachers prepare instructional materials, teaching modules, worksheets, and learning media before conducting classroom instruction. Learning activities are carried out using various teaching methods that encourage student participation and active engagement. The school also supports teacher professionalism through academic supervision, participation in teacher professional development programs, seminars, training activities, and subject teacher forums (MGMP). In science learning, teachers attempt to connect scientific concepts with students’ daily experiences and utilize available laboratory facilities to support practical activities. However, several challenges remain, including differences in students’ learning abilities and limitations in laboratory facilities. Overall, teacher professionalism at SMP Negeri 5 Lahewa contributes positively to the effectiveness of learning implementation and educational quality improvement.
