This study aims to improve students' understanding through contextual-based interactive e-books integrated with waste management practice guidelines, in order to increase students' understanding and involvement in local environmental issues. Environmental education plays an important role in shaping students' awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. However, the learning process in the Biology Education Study Program at Pattimura University still faces obstacles, especially the limitation of practical and contextual materials. This research is quantitative research conducted in May 2025 with second semester students as subjects. The E-book development procedure refers to the adapted Borg & Gall model. The E-book contains material on the potential of Maluku's natural resources, environmental issues, management strategies, and practical guidelines. The results of the trial showed that the E-book received a very positive response from students with an average acceptance rate of 86.22%. The increase in comprehension scores from the pre-test to the post-test was 22.7 points (from 62.4 to 85.1). The paired t-test results showed a value of t(29)=13.45t with p < 0.0001, proving that there was a significant difference between the scores before and after using the interactive e-book. The increase in engagement scores after using the E-book (pre: M = 58.01, SD ≈ ), (post: M = 67.84, SD ≈ ), difference M = 9.82, t(29) = 13.45, p < 0.0001, indicates a significant increase in engagement, particularly in the aspects of behaviour in using exercises/quizzes, making digital notes, using interactive features, frequency of multimedia access, and consistency in completing topics. Thus, this contextual-based interactive E-book has been proven effective in improving understanding, engagement, and the relevance of environmental learning for students.

This study aims to describe the problem-solving abilities of pre-service biology teachers in addressing coastal environmental issues through a Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) approach. The research employed a descriptive method, using tests and interviews as data collection techniques. The HOTS-based test was administered to students enrolled in the Environmental Education course at Pattimura University. The test instrument was developed based on five problem-solving indicators: problem identification, problem analysis, formulation of alternative solutions, evaluation of solutions, and decision-making including follow-up planning. In addition to the test, unstructured interviews were conducted to explore students' perceptions of the questions and the challenges they encountered. The results showed an average student score of 74.0, with the highest score in problem identification (84), followed by problem analysis (76), solution evaluation (74), alternative solution formulation (72), and the lowest in decision-making and follow-up actions (64). These findings suggest that while students demonstrated strong abilities in identifying and analyzing coastal environmental problems, their capacity to design practical and implementable solutions requires further development. The outcomes of this study provide a foundation for developing a more context-based curriculum in Ambon that addresses local coastal environmental issues.

This study aimed to develop flipbook-based instructional materials assisted by Virtual Reality (VR) for the Lower Plant Botany. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model, consisting of define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. At the define stage, a preliminary field exploration and identify lower plant species as learning content. Data were obtained through direct observation and morphological identification of lower plant. The design stage involved developing instructional materials using flipbook and Virtual Reality media based on field data. The development stage included expert validation, product revision, and limited trials with Biology Education students to evaluate feasibility and practicality. The disseminate stage was carried out through limited implementation in lectures and distribution of the developed materials. The results indicated that the developed instructional materials were feasible based on expert validation. Expert validation indicated that the instructional materials were feasible across content, presentation, language, and scientific aspects (75–88.3%), while media validation demonstrated a very high feasibility level (99.07%). These findings indicate that flipbook-based instructional materials integrated with Virtual Reality offer an engaging and immersive learning solution that enhances students’ understanding of abstract and microscopic concepts in Lower Plant Botany while supporting scientific and digital literacy.

Science education in island regions, particularly in Salahutu District, Central Maluku Regency, faces challenges in developing contextual learning that reflects local potential. Many science teachers have not yet integrated ethnoscience elements and deep learning approaches into their teaching materials. This community service program aimed to enhance teachers’ capacity through training and mentoring in the development and implementation of deep learning–based ethnoscience teaching materials. The method used was a participatory–collaborative approach in the training and implementation of ethnoscience-based learning, which included the stages of preparation, training, implementation, and reflection. In the initial stage, the lecturer team conducted observations and interviews in several junior high schools in Salahutu to identify teachers’ needs and to design contextual training materials and learning tools. The training was carried out through workshops on developing teaching modules, learning materials, and student worksheets (LKPD), followed by mentoring during classroom implementation. The results indicated an improvement in teachers’ understanding and skills in integrating local natural and cultural potentials into science learning. Evaluation through questionnaires, reflections, and student interviews revealed that this approach fostered more meaningful, contextual, and relevant learning experiences. Overall, the program contributed to strengthening science teachers’ professionalism and enriching culturally responsive educational practices in island-based learning contexts

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with meaningful learning and ethnoscience in enhancing analytical thinking and curiosity among junior high school students. The study was motivated by low student engagement and the dominance of conventional teacher-centered instruction that lacks contextualization and incorporation of local knowledge. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed, involving 60 eight-grade students divided into experimental and control classes. Analytical thinking was assessed through a validated essay test, while curiosity was measured using an observation checklist, both demonstrating adequate validity and reliability. Data analysis included normality and homogeneity tests, independent samples t-tests, and Pearson correlation. Results indicated a significant improvement in analytical thinking in the experimental class compared to the control (t = –33.289, p < .001), and curiosity was also significantly higher (t = –20.079, p < .001). Furthermore, a strong positive correlation was found between analytical thinking and curiosity (r = 0.801, p < .001), indicating that curiosity accounts for approximately 64.16% of the variance in analytical thinking. These findings confirm that integrating PBL, meaningful learning, and ethnoscience effectively improves students’ analytical thinking, as indicated by a high N-Gain in the experimental class (0.703) compared to a low N-Gain in the control class (0.206), and increases students’ curiosity, as shown by higher posttest mean scores in the experimental group than in the control group. The study implies that educators should adopt problem-based learning contextualized with local knowledge to improve science learning quality and 21st-century competencies.
