Abstract

Assessments carried out by education quality monitoring institutions often ignore student assessments, the results of which are not relevant to what students need. Therefore, the assessment of the teaching and learning process must be carried out transparently and accountable by involving students in the assessment of teaching and learning process. Actions like this are nothing more than an effort to adapt the teaching and learning process to student needs. This descriptive research aims to explain students' preferences for the quality of teaching and learning. A total of 65 prospective biology teachers were respondents, consisting of 17 students in 1st semester, 23 (3rd semester), 7 (5th semester), and 18 (7th semester). From the results obtained, our respondents consider that increasing competence is the most essential attribute or factor related to the teaching and learning process, with an important value percentage of 21.931. Then, teaching organizations (19.901) and learning opportunities (19.662). We use this information regarding student preferences as a guide to improving the teaching and learning process in the future while still correcting several existing deficiencies, such as involving active student participation and providing maximum academic assistance, as well as allowing students to develop their thinking abilities.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Tegal Maja Village is one of the villages in North Lombok Regency whose main commodity is cashew nuts. Cashew fruit consists of a true fruit in the form of a spindle or seed, while the pseudo-flesh is often known as a fruit that contains a lot of water. Cashew nuts are an important commodity while the fruit is considered to have no economic value because of its astringent taste, so it is often used as animal feed or even thrown away. The purpose of this community service activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of the people of Tegal Maja Village, North Lombok Regency in processing cashew fruit into shredded fruit, as well as supporting village programs in processing local potential into UMKM products. The implementation of activities carried out for 3 weeks includes initial observations, preparation of activity programs, discussions on determining activity schedules, and implementation of core activities. The core activities include the opening, socialization, practice of making floss, and product delivery. The success of this activity was measured by the increased knowledge and skills of participants in processing cashew fruit flesh into floss. The partner's response to this activity was very good, marked by the enthusiasm of the participants, namely 100% attendance, arriving on time until the activity ended. This community service activity ended with the delivery of products to the Head of Tegal Maja Village, North Lombok Regency.

Abstract

The utilization of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) is still not optimal, despite having great potential in supporting environmental sustainability and the local economy. The need for innovation in forest product management is becoming increasingly urgent, especially in the context of green economic development and natural resource conservation. This activity aims to provide understanding to forestry students of Mandalika University of Education regarding the importance of sustainable forest product innovation, fostering environmental awareness, and instilling character values such as ecological responsibility. This activity involved 30 participants and was carried out in four training sessions that included interactive lectures, group discussions, and individual reflections. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' conceptual understanding by 42% based on the results of the pre-test and post-test. In addition, participants produced more than 6 creative ideas based on local potential, such as the development of herbal products, environmentally friendly products and natural dyes. Character values such as innovation, ecological responsibility, and environmental awareness were also successfully internalized in the learning process. This socialization makes an important contribution in shaping sustainability awareness and professional readiness of forestry students. It is recommended that this program be continued in the form of applied training that includes the development of NTFP product prototypes and integrated into the green entrepreneurship curriculum.
