Abstract

Indonesia is known for its abundant natural resources, such as gold. However, the mercury-based amalgamation method in illegal gold mining causes environmental pollution. This research explores the potential of utilizing mercury-resistant rhizosphere bacteria from Ageratum conyzoides, a gold hyperaccumulator plant, to develop an effective bioremediation strategy for contaminated gold mining areas. This descriptive-exploratory study aims to identify and determine the sensitivity of mercury in five rhizosphere bacteria isolates from previous research. Bacteria were isolated from the roots of Ageratum conyzoides growing in the Ratatotok gold mining area of North Sulawesi. Bacteria identification was determined using profile-matching methods based on microscopic, macroscopic, physiological, and biochemical features. Similarity Indexes were determined using dendrogram visualization with MVSP software. Mercury sensitivity was analyzed using the cup-plate technique, varying mercury concentrations from 0 ppm to concentrations where clear zones appeared, indicating bacterial growth inhibition. The result indicated that the five isolates were bacteria from the genera Alcaligenes, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, Streptococcus, and Micrococcus. Notably, Pseudomonas showed the highest potential for mercury resistance, being mercury sensitive at a concentration of 470 ppm, followed by Alcaligenes (110 ppm), Enterococcus (30 ppm), and both Streptococcus and Micrococcus (20 ppm).

Abstract

This study analyzes students’ learning difficulties in understanding biochemistry concepts, materials, and processes through a survey, and examines bibliometric patterns of biochemistry learning models and methods to identify potential alternative solutions. A descriptive research design was employed, combining survey methods and bibliometric analysis. The survey was conducted with 82 fourth-semester students of the Chemistry Study Program, including Class B (48 students) and Class E (34 students). Data were collected using an open-ended questionnaire and analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. In parallel, a bibliometric analysis of scientific articles on biochemistry learning difficulties was performed using VOSviewer software, identifying dominant sub-themes such as learning models, learning methods, and biochemistry education. The survey results indicate that students experience the greatest difficulties in protein biosynthesis (82%), lipid metabolism (55%), enzymes (53%), protein metabolism (50%), and carbohydrate metabolism (45%). These findings highlight challenges with metabolic pathways and molecular structures, emphasizing the need for visualization-based learning media. Additionally, the bibliometric analysis suggests that flipped classroom and blended learning approaches have strong potential as innovative strategies to address these difficulties. The study concludes with recommendations for future research focused on the development and evaluation of such approaches in biochemistry education.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize research related to learning strategies focusing on chemistry learning research in the last ten years from various reputable journals and proceedings focusing on the last ten years, grounded in the theoretical framework of conceptual change and the challenges posed by chemistry's multiple representational levels (macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic). After searching national and international reputable databases using key patterns of relevance (Pattern 1: “chemistry learning strategies” “Merdeka Curriculum”; Pattern 2: “learning strategies” ‘chemistry education’; Pattern 3: ‘chemistry learning strategies’ ‘effective’), the 19 relevant articles were systematically reviewed. Inclusion criteria required publication in reputable journals (Q1–Q4) or proceedings, english language, and explicit discussion of strategy effectiveness in secondary or higher chemistry education. The results showed that cooperative learning and inquiry learning dominated from several articles used as learning that is often applied in the learning process to see its effect on learner achievement, cognitive development, laboratory skills, science process skills, and understanding of science knowledge. The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum requires educators to provide innovations to the learning strategies applied. Technology-based learning is one form of innovation that is in accordance with the curriculum and the development of the current era. Learning strategies by utilizing ICT create enthusiasm and meaningfulness for students to learn independently. This review contributes a refined theoretical understanding of chemistry specific learning strategies, identifies research gaps, and suggests future directions in chemistry education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Assessment of students' critical thinking skills and environmental care attitudes is crucial for science learning. This research aims to develop an essay test instrument for critical thinking and a questionnaire for environmental care attitudes, evaluating their validity through expert assessments and trials. Methodology: Utilizing the Research and Development (R&D) model by Oriondo & Dallo-Antoio (1998), the study comprises three stages: test planning, trials, and validation. A random sampling technique was employed, involving 267 students. The critical thinking instrument consists of essay questions, while the environmental care attitudes are measured using a prosocial intentions questionnaire. Main Findings: Validity results indicate a high Aiken index of 0.96 for critical thinking essays and 1.0 for the environmental care questionnaire. Reliability estimates were 0.73 for critical thinking and 0.71 for environmental attitudes, both good. The difficulty level for the critical thinking instrument was classified as medium (0.68), while the environmental care instrument was deemed difficult (1.65). Limitations include focusing solely on science subjects, trials restricted to one area, and reliance on self-reports for environmental attitudes, which may introduce bias. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in integrating critical thinking assessment with environmental care attitudes, a rare approach in previous research. In conclusion, the developed instruments effectively measure students' critical thinking skills and environmental care attitudes in science education, particularly regarding global warming.

Abstract

Argument driven inquiry (ADI) model is an instructional learning model that combines argumentation with inquiry-based learning. The ADI model allows students to argue actively in the learning process. Previous research studies have found that the ADI model is widely applied in the field of chemistry. This study aims to systematically synthesize research acles related to the ADI model that focus on independent and dependent variables, chemical concepts, and conclusions in chemistry learning. This study uses the systematic literature review (SLR) method for 22 articles from the google scholar, ERIC (education resources information center) and scopus databases in the period 2016- 2025. Search through relevant keyword patterns, namely "ADI" and "chemistry education", index, title and abstract. The findings show that: 1) The dependent variables that are widely studied place the ADI model as a learning model, laboratory instructions, and levels in the inquiry method and the independent variables appear in the cognitive aspect, 2) The majority of study articles focus on the chemical concept of chemical equilibrium, 3) Most studies on the ADI model state that the ADI model is able to provide a positive influence or increase in learning competence in chemistry learning
