Indonesia continues to be committed to improving the quality of human resources. This is realized through the Ministry of Education and Culture, which promotes and implements a curriculum that supports learning freedom. The application of this curriculum requires not only theoretical support but also more practical technical support, which cannot be ignored. In this regard, the Mandalika University of Education, especially the biology education department, has held workshops related to technical guidance for implementing the freedom to learn curriculum. However, it is essential to understand that there needs to be more information regarding the readiness of prospective biology teacher students to implement this curriculum. Therefore, this research was conducted to describe the level of readiness of prospective biology teacher students for independent learning. In this research, 53 prospective teacher students were involved voluntarily as respondents, including 42 women and 11 men, consisting of 12 (semester 1), 15 (semester 3), 17 (semester 5), and 9 (semester 7). The instrument used to measure the level of readiness for independent learning was adapted from the self-rating scale of self-directed learning (SRSSDL) questionnaire. Next, data regarding readiness for independent learning was analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that 16.98% were not very ready (low or unprepared), 73.58% were not ready (moderate), and 9.43% were ready (high). These results also show that prospective biology teacher students have the same level of readiness for independent learning or that there is no significant difference in readiness for independent learning based on semester differences. Apart from that, of the SRSSDL components, self-awareness and learning activities have the lowest averages (32.51 and 32.09). Thus, our respondents (in this case, prospective biology teacher students) are not ready for independent learning. Regarding what will be done next, can be seen in the conclusions and recommendations section.

University students must possess reflective and critical thinking skills to effectively navigate various life situations and contexts. This study aims to explain the effect of reflective thinking skills (RTS) on critical thinking skills (CTS). In this study, 71 prospective biology teacher students voluntarily participated. The RTS instrument developed by Kember et al. (2000) was adopted to collect data on RTS, and 20 CTS items to collect data on CTS. RTS had a significant impact on CTS, but not all RTS subscales; the habitual action subscale did not have a significant impact on CTS. Additionally, semester differences did not influence RTS and CTS. Finally, the recommendations based on these findings can be found in the conclusions and recommendations section.

Currently, Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) are a learning approach that is widely used by educators, not only helping students to understand a topic but also improving students' scientific literacy skills, such as critical thinking, argumentation skills, and decision-making. Various studies related to SSI have been published but cannot provide specific recommendations for future SSI studies. Therefore, a research systematic review of literature related to SSI was carried out to identify and determine research trends related to SSI as a basis for conducting further SSI studies. In conducting this literature review, we collected SSI-related information from the Google Scholar publication database using socio-scientific issues as search keywords. In collecting and selecting it using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis), 155 articles were found that met the predetermined criteria for further analysis using Vosviewer. From the results of the analysis that has been done, decision-making is an item that has been studied a lot related to SSI. Thus, this item (decision-making) is recommended for further study.

This study aims to examine the effect of varying vegetable oil compositions (coconut, palm, and olive) on the physical and chemical qualities of solid soap, specifically in terms of hardness, cleansing ability, and moisture content. This study used a laboratory experiment with five soap formulas combining various vegetable oil compositions. The results showed that the formula with a combination of 60% coconut oil and 40% palm oil produced the soap with the highest hardness, while the formula with a combination of 60% coconut oil and 40% olive oil provided the best moisture content. The soap with a composition of 60% coconut oil and 40% palm oil also demonstrated better cleaning ability, thanks to the lauric acid content in coconut oil, which has antibacterial properties. This study recommends the use of a combination of coconut and palm oils to produce soap with the best quality in terms of hardness and cleansing ability, and coconut and olive oils for soap with greater skin moisturizing properties. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the development of the natural soap industry in Indonesia, reduce dependence on imported raw materials, and increase the competitiveness of natural soap products in the global market.

This systematic review synthesises peer-reviewed empirical and conceptual research on threshold concepts (TC) in higher education published between 2015 and 2025. The review aims to examine how threshold concepts are theorised, operationalised, and empirically investigated across disciplinary contexts, with particular attention to their defining characteristics, associated learning difficulties, and pedagogical implications. Following a rigorous process of database searching, screening, and eligibility assessment, a total of 26 studies were included, comprising 11 peer-reviewed journal articles and 15 articles reporting empirical studies. The analysis integrates qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies to generate three key contributions: (1) a refined synthesis of TC characteristics as epistemic and, in some cases, ontological turning points in learning; (2) a structured categorisation of learning challenges associated with threshold crossing, including cognitive, affective, and contextual dimensions; and (3) an overview of pedagogical approaches designed to support learners during liminal phases. Findings indicate that TC consistently facilitate transitions from surface understanding to disciplinary ways of knowing, although their forms and manifestations vary across fields. While pedagogical interventions increasingly acknowledge the necessity of learning difficulty, robust longitudinal evidence remains limited. The review concludes with practical indicators for educators, and methodological recommendations, especially the need for longitudinal study, mixed methods design, and clearer operational criteria to strengthen future research and curriculum design.

[Title: The Conceptual Profile of Prospective Biology Teacher FPMIPA IKIP Mataram]. The conceptual profile is a tool for analyzing the style or process of thinking, so the profile of understanding concepts is very important to study as a basis for designing and improving the quality of learning. This research is a descriptive study that aims to identify and explain the conceptual profile of prospective biology teacher FPMIPA IKIP Mataram. The subjects in this study included all biology students who regularly program evolutionary courses. The open-ended question is designed to collect conceptual profile data on the evolutionary biology students from FPMIPA IKIP Mataram. Identification or determination of conceptual profile is based on student responses or answers. Based on the results of the research and the limitations of the discussion, it is recommended that the development of textbooks that are free of misconception as a learning resource for valid biology prospective teacher, then lecturers as instructors, continue to study and teach about attitude, namely scientific attitudes, or thinking dispositions, and/or integrating attitudes in the lecture process. Besides that, in the lecture or learning process, the lecturer must facilitate or empower the style or process of thinking of students with various learning methods or strategies that emphasize thinking processes, including formal reasoning, and analogical teaching strategy.
