Abstract

The Dayak Kubin Tribe, which inhabits Nanga Raku Village, Sayan District, Melawi Regency, West Kalimantan Province, still utilizes mushrooms daily. However, this knowledge has not been documented until now. This research aims to provide information on the diversity of mushroom species and their utilization by the Dayak Kubin Tribe in Nanga Raku Village. This qualitative research was conducted in Nanga Raku Village in May 2022. The informants in this research amounted to 15 people obtained through the snowball sampling technique. The search for mushroom samples was carried out using the cruising method. The results showed that the Dayak Kubin Tribe in Nanga Raku Village utilizes 16 species of mushrooms. Mushroom species used as food sources are Agaricus sp., Auricularia auricula-judae, Auricularia delicata, Termitomyces sp., Lactocollybia sp., Marasmiellus candidus, Pleurotus cystidiosus, Lentinus sajor-caju, Panus sp., Psathyrella sp., Cookeina sulcipes, Cookeina tricholoma, and Schizophyllum commune. Mushroom species utilized as medicines are Microporus affinis and Microporus xanthopus. Hygrocybe sp. is the only mushroom species that is used as a food source and medicinal ingredient at the same time. The ethnomycological information presented in this research is an effort to preserve traditional knowledge by utilizing biodiversity in the surrounding environment.

Abstract

The Ingenhousz photosynthesis experiment conducted in schools aims to verify the concept of plants producing oxygen. However, opportunities to develop students’ quantitative literacy and train science process skills (SPSs) remain limited, as photosynthesis experiments commonly employed in schools are predominantly qualitative. This research aimed to develop an alternative photosynthesis laboratory activity design (LAD) based on an analysis of existing LADs to enhance students’ quantitative literacy and SPSs. Using the Research and Development (R&D) method, this research focused on the effect of color spectra on photosynthetic rate—an aspect that presents novelty of this research. The existing LADs were analyzed in terms of relevance, competence, knowledge construction, and practical aspects, resulting in 83.3% (very good), 43.1% (fair), 58.3% (fair), and 55.6% (fair), respectively. The analysis results of these four aspects are the basis for developing the alternative LAD. The alternative LAD was developed and then validated, resulting in a validity value of 0.915, which is categorized as valid. The alternative LAD trial demonstrated that it can collect quantitative data and enhance students’ quantitative literacy and SPSs, with the blue light spectrum producing the highest photosynthetic rate at 0.4 ml/g. The quantitative literacy-based LAD fosters data-driven thinking crucial for future scientific inquiry. This supports cultivating more analytically skilled students equipped to face real-world environmental and scientific challenges.
