Abstract

Cell Biology education at the university level, including in Palangka Raya City, continues to face significant challenges due to the abstract and complex nature of the subject matter. The predominant reliance on conventional teaching methods—such as lectures and static visual aids has proven inadequate in supporting students’ conceptual understanding. This study aims to analyze the learning needs of Cell Biology from the perspectives of both lecturers and students to formulate more adaptive and innovative instructional strategies. A descriptive qualitative approach with a mixed-methods design was employed, involving 9 lecturers and 120 undergraduate students from three higher education institutions in Palangka Raya: Universitas Palangka Raya, Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya, and IAIN Palangka Raya. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The results showed that 72% of students found Cell Biology difficult, particularly on topics such as cellular respiration, membrane transport, and organelle interactions. Most students reported a lack of interactive learning media, while lecturers acknowledged the need for training in the integration of educational technologies. A comparative analysis revealed a clear gap between lecturers’ focus on content delivery and students’ expectations for contextual and visually rich learning experiences. The findings underscore the urgent need to develop technology-enhanced learning strategies such as 3D media, AR/VR tools and to strengthen institutional support to improve Cell Biology education in the local context of Central Kalimantan.

Abstract

Tropical peatland ecosystems are ecologically important yet often neglected in formal biology education due to accessibility and logistical limitations. In Central Kalimantan, where peatland biodiversity is rich but difficult to observe directly, students face challenges in understanding complex ecological interactions and local environmental issues. This study examined the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) as an immersive learning tool to enhance students’ conceptual understanding, engagement, and ecological awareness. A mixed-methods exploratory-descriptive design was employed involving 14 undergraduate students from the Biology Education program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangka Raya. Participants interacted with a custom-developed VR module titled “Exploring Peatland Biodiversity” during two guided sessions over two weeks. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, observation checklists, and focus group discussions (FGDs). Results showed a significant increase in students’ learning outcomes, with average test scores rising from 56.93 (pre-test) to 81.79 (post-test). A paired samples t-test confirmed the improvement as statistically significant (mean difference = 24.86, p < 0.001). Qualitative findings revealed that students perceived the VR module as realistic and emotionally engaging. They demonstrated improved species recognition, understanding of ecological processes, and awareness of threats such as deforestation and peat fires. The study concludes that VR offers an effective solution for biodiversity learning in remote and fragile ecosystems, enhancing both knowledge and environmental concern.
