Abstract

This qualitative single-case ethnoscience study explored how preservice science teachers reconstructed indigenous knowledge from local artisanal practices into potential school science learning resources. Conducted in an Ethnoscience course in the Science Education Study Program at Universitas Qamarul Huda Badaruddin Bagu, Central Lombok, the project adopted an ethnoscience-oriented project-based practicum (EthnoPjBL) in which one intact class collaborated with artisans involved in knife forging, clay brick and roof-tile production, herbal medicine and jamu kunyit asam preparation, palm-sugar and sweet tuak processing, and plastic and bamboo weaving. Data from participant observation, field notes, interviews, structured analysis tables, student scientific report drafts, concept maps, reflective worksheets, and course documents were analysed through thematic coding, constant comparison, and concept map interpretation. The findings show that preservice teachers identified dense clusters of phenomena, for example heat transfer, phase change, mixtures, plant physiology, microbial processes, and structural mechanics, mapped these onto canonical concepts and junior and senior secondary curriculum topics, and produced curriculum-linked representations that support contextualised and integrated science learning while developing epistemological awareness, ethical sensitivity, and capacity to pedagogically mobilise indigenous knowledge.

Abstract

This preliminary study identifies the competencies of chemistry education students in understanding sustainable energy within the context of Indonesia’s energy transition. The study addresses a gap in energy education research by examining not only conceptual knowledge but also analytical, contextual, and policy-oriented reasoning across four strategic energy domains: hydrocarbons, hydrogen, bioethanol, and biodiesel. An exploratory descriptive assessment design was employed with undergraduate chemistry education students who had completed Organic Chemistry and Instrumental Chemistry courses. Participants were selected through purposive sampling and completed a four-item essay-based instrument. Student responses were scored using a four-point analytic rubric in which 1 indicated low competence and 4 indicated strong competence; the rubric assessed conceptual accuracy, comparative analysis, contextual relevance, multidimensional evaluation, and policy reasoning. The results showed that the highest mean score was obtained for energy efficiency and environmental impact analysis (M = 3.33), indicating relatively stronger competence in comparing hydrocarbons and hydrogen. Lower mean scores were found for the Indonesian prospects of bioethanol and biodiesel (M = 2.00), comparative evaluation across energy sources (M = 2.33), and sustainable energy policy recommendations (M = 2.00). These findings suggest that students were more prepared for concept-based scientific explanation than for contextual application, synthesis, and strategic policy reasoning. The study provides an initial diagnostic basis for improving sustainable energy education through contextual, interdisciplinary, and problem-based learning linked to Indonesia’s renewable resource potential.
