Abstract

Problem-solving is one of the competencies in the learning innovation that students must possess to prepare life challenges in the 21st century. This study aimed to improve student problem-solving ability and cognitive learning outcome through the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) model in learning biology at the senior high school. This research is a quasi-experimental research with pretest and posttest design. Two classes were chosen randomly from five classes of 10th-grade students for conducting research by implementing PBL and direct instruction learning models as an experiment and control (conventional) class, respectively. The problem-solving ability was measured by the essay test as well as the cognitive learning outcome at the end of the research and was analyzed by t-test. The result showed that students in the PBL class have a higher improvement in problem-solving ability. The student ability to problem-solving in the PBL class was also significantly higher than the conventional class. In addition, students in the PBL class have a higher cognitive learning outcome than the conventional class. This finding indicates that the PBL model can be implemented in the learning practices, especially in biology, to develop the problem-solving skill of students.Problem-solving is one of the competencies in the learning innovation that students must possess to prepare life challenges in the 21st century.

Abstract

This study explored and revealed the demographic factors that influence students' environmental knowledge (EK) in Indonesia. This survey research involved 1,345 students from 15 universities across Indonesia. The research employed a validated questionnaire on EK and was modified to match the circumstances in Indonesia. The instrument consisted of six statements with five scales namely 1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=indifferent, 4=agree, and 5=strongly agree. Five demographic variables were tested together to determine their effect on students' EK. Descriptive analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multiple linear regression were used to test the independent variables. The result of the study revealed that gender, study program, grade point average (GPA), and parents’ occupation variable have an effect simultaneously on students' EK (p<.05) with a contribution of 6.2% (R square=.062), while the students’ grade variable has no effect on EK (p>.05). Female students have better EK than male students (p<.05). The trend showed that the higher the GPA, the higher the EK of the student (p<.05). Hence, the trend showed that students whose parents have lower income tend to have better EK than those whose parents have higher income. Students in science education and computer course have better EK than science, non-science education, and social humanities study programs. This study implicated the importance of introducing environmental insights through education to increase students' EK in higher education.

Abstract

This research was motivated by students' lack of interest and response to learning mathematics. Based on findings in the field, it was found that students still considered mathematics a scourge and the most boring subject. This study aims to determine the influence of habits of mind and mathematics interest on students' decision making through gamification learning. This is a correlational research ex post facto quantitative approach using double linear regression. The data were obtained through questionnaires and tests. The research was conducted at SMKN 1 Geger, Madiun, East Java, with research subjects consisting of students of class XI Islamic Banking 1 and class XI Automation of Office Management 1. The results showed that habits of mind and mathematics interest significantly positively affected students' decision making in mathematics through gamification learning.

Abstract

While Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Wordwall have been studied individually, empirical research integrating both to address abstract science topics in elementary schools remains limited, leaving a gap in understanding how this combination interacts with students' prior knowledge. This study analyzes the influence of the Wordwall-assisted PBL model on fifth-grade students’ mastery of electrical energy concepts, considering their prior knowledge. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group was used, involving a total sample of 33 students (17 in the experimental class and 16 in the control class). Instruments included validated and reliable prior knowledge and concept mastery tests. Two-Way ANOVA results show significant main effects on concept mastery based on the learning model and prior knowledge levels (p < 0.05). The experimental group achieved a notably higher mean score (88.75) compared to the control group (66.50), with the learning model exerting a strong effect size (Partial Eta Squared,  = 0.872) on concept mastery. Crucially, no significant interaction effect was found between the learning model and prior knowledge (p = 0.861), indicating that the Wordwall-assisted PBL model consistently and uniformly enhances learning outcomes for students across all initial ability levels

Abstract

This study aims to compare the salt content (NaCl) in the leaves of several types of coastal plants that grow in different formations, namely Mangrove, Barringtonia, and Pres-Caprae. The study was conducted in the coastal area of Lais District, North Bengkulu Regency using direct survey methods in the field and laboratory analysis using a refractometer. The results showed that there were 10 species of coastal plants from three formations, namely Barringtonia, Mangrove, and Pes-Caprae. The highest salt content was found in the Acanthus species ilicifolius (2.75‰) from the Mangrove formation, while the lowest levels were found in Canavalia maritima (0.75‰) from the Pes-Caprae formation. The difference in salt content is thought to be influenced by the location of its habitat in the coastal area and its ability to adapt both structurally and physiologically so that it can survive in an environment with extreme salt content. The results of this study provide important information about the adaptation of coastal plants to salinity and can be the basis for further research on salt concentration in coastal plants.

Abstract

This study investigates the phytochemical content and morpho-anatomical characteristics of Celosia argentea L. plants grown under different light intensities in the Embung Leuwi Padjadjaran area. Leaf samples were collected from shaded and unshaded locations to compare their responses to varying light conditions. Phytochemical analysis revealed that plants in higher light intensity areas tended to have increased levels of specific phytochemical compounds, which is crucial for the plant's defense mechanisms. Furthermore, the research found morphological and anatomical differences, such as greater leaf thickness and a lower stomatal density in unshaded plants. Conversely, shaded plants exhibited higher chlorophyll content and larger leaf areas, which are adapted to low-light environments. The study concludes that varying light intensity significantly influences the morpho-anatomical features and phytochemical composition of Celosia argentea L., with shaded conditions promoting adaptations for light capture and unshaded conditions increasing certain phytochemicals and leaf thickness.

Abstract

The genus Syzygium (Myrtaceae) is one of the most diverse groups of tropical woody plants, characterized by high morphological variation and complex taxonomy. This study aimed to investigate the biosystematics, spatial distribution, and phenetic relationships of Syzygium species on Ternate Island, Indonesia, using morphological and multivariate approaches. Field exploration was conducted across five districts, and morphological data were collected from both vegetative and reproductive organs. A total of eight species were recorded, exhibiting heterogeneous distribution patterns ranging from widespread to localized occurrences. Multivariate analyses, including hierarchical cluster analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), revealed consistent phenetic relationships, separating the species into two major groups. The first two principal components accounted for 78.62% of the total variation, with fruit-related characters—particularly fruit size and flesh thickness—identified as the main determinants of species grouping. A dichotomous key based on diagnostic morphological traits was developed to facilitate accurate species identification. These findings highlight the importance of reproductive characters, especially fruit morphology, in species delimitation within Syzygium. This study provides a valuable baseline for taxonomy, biodiversity assessment, and conservation, and underscores the continued relevance of morphology-based biosystematics in tropical plant research.

Abstract

Creative thinking is one of the essential 21st-century skills that should be developed in elementary school students to enhance problem-solving abilities and generate innovative ideas. However, preliminary observations in Grade V of SDN Sugihwaras 2 indicated that students' creative thinking skills were still relatively low. This study aimed to examine the effect of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) learning based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) assisted by Assemblr Edu on students' creative thinking skills. A quantitative pre-experimental method with a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design was employed. The participants were 20 fifth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a creative thinking test covering fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and the Paired Sample t-test. The findings indicate that STEAM-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) assisted by Assemblr Edu effectively enhanced elementary school students' creative thinking skills. The integration of project-based activities with immersive augmented reality learning experiences encouraged students to generate original ideas, explore multiple problem-solving strategies, and elaborate their ideas more creatively. These results support the view that authentic, technology-enhanced STEAM learning environments foster higher-order thinking and creativity in elementary education.
