Abstract

This study aims to analyze science identity as a predictor of agency in the Anthropocene among prospective science teacher students at Medan State University. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational-predictive design. The sample consisted of 71 fifth-semester prospective science teachers who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through two self-report instruments, namely a science identity instrument covering the dimensions Performance, Competence, and Recognition, and an instrument of agency in the Anthropocene covering the dimensions Sense of Agency, Ecological Care, and Transformative Action. Both instruments used a four-point Likert scale with 18 items in each variable. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality test, linearity test, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The results show that science identity has a mean of 57.90 (SD = 4.899), while agency in the Anthropocene has a mean of 61.66 (SD = 5.918). The correlation test shows a positive and significant relationship between science identity and agency in the Anthropocene (r = 0.549; p < 0.001). The regression results indicate that science identity is a significant predictor of agency in the Anthropocene (B = 0.663; β = 0.549; t = 5.451; p < 0.001), with a contribution of 30.1% (R² = 0.301). These findings highlight the importance of science identity in explaining the readiness of agency in the Anthropocene among prospective science teacher students.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the correlation between medicinal plant knowledge and students’ conservation attitudes after using the North Sumatra Medicinal Plant Ethnoscience e-Catalog. The e-Catalog is accessed through Google Sites and contains information on the local and scientific names, morphology, benefits, habitat, and conservation values of medicinal plants in North Sumatra integrated with ethnoscience. This research is a quantitative correlational study. The research subjects numbered 33 science education students. Data were collected using a medicinal plant knowledge test and a conservation attitude questionnaire. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and Spearman’s rho correlation. The results showed that the students’ average medicinal plant knowledge was 70.52 and the average conservation attitude was 40.24. Spearman’s correlation test produced a correlation coefficient of ρ = 0.687 with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.01), indicating a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between medicinal plant knowledge and students’ conservation attitudes. The coefficient of determination value of 47.2% shows that medicinal plant knowledge provides a fairly large contribution to students’ conservation attitudes. The results of this study indicate that the North Sumatra Medicinal Plant Ethnoscience e-Catalog has the potential to become an effective digital learning medium in supporting the strengthening of students’ conservation attitudes through ethnoscience integration.
