Mango cross-pollination can be encouraged through the presence of pollinating insects, which can be investigated and observed through citizen science activities. This study aims to monitor the presence of insect pollinators of mango (Mangifera indica L.) inflorescence through citizen science activities. The data generated in the study can be used as a reference to determine population trends and the biodiversity of mango insect pollinators. A citizen science approach in participatory research was used to collect and identify the data. A total of 68 volunteer participants from two universities in west Java were involved in this study. The participants had to meet the requirements to have contracted ecology courses. Smartphones and insect identification guidelines and databases at https://www.discoverlife.org/ and https://www.inaturalist.org/ were used as a tool in this research. The identified data were submitted via google form (www.bit.ly/csmangga) and the Inaturalist application for publication. It was discovered that mango inflorescence insect pollinators comprised five orders, 26 families, and 39 species. Diptera and Hymenoptera orders are insects that have the biggest role in mango pollination, and Chrysomya sp. is an insect species found in almost all mango cultivars.

Animal behavior is a response to external environmental conditions through detection by certain senses. Changes in physical factors in the environment before the earthquake (magnetic field anomaly) also influence the expression of specific behavioral changes in birds, namely the flight activity. However, scientific explanation of changes in orientation or direction of flight before the earthquake was not yet available. This article aims to describe the mechanism of bird's biological response to changes in the magnetic field before the earthquake. This study is a literature review. The results of theoretical synthesis explain that birds use magnetic receptors and light receptors that recognize changes in the magnetic field before the earthquake followed by an increase in the amount of intracellular calcium ions. Abnormal amounts of calcium stimulate the formation of more ATP which activates the function of actin and myosin, therefore muscle cells experience a bathmotrope effect expressed in the form of changes in flight direction.

Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) can be seen as teacher’s skills and abilities in choosing and using technology effectively. However, information about the teacher’s attitudes contribution to technology competencies and science teacher's TPACK is still limited. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between teacher's technology competencies and their TPACK as well as the effect of teacher’s attitudes as a moderating effect on relation between these two variables. This survey research used total sampling technique which involved 88 science teachers from junior high school of Kota Banda Aceh. The instruments consisted of questionnaires and multiple-choice test which were distributed directly to the teachers. The data analysis was performed by using the Partial Least Square approach. The results showed that technology competencies have a positive relation to TPACK; likewise, the teachers’ attitudes in technology integration were able to strengthen the positive relation between technology competency and science teacher’s TPACK. Therefore, teacher's attitude is an important factor should be concerned in improving teacher's TPACK.

Research about students’ perceptions concerning the learning environment based on biology teachers’ TPACK still limited. The purpose of this study was to obtain information about the impact of biology teachers’ TPACK on students’ perceptions concerning their learning environment. TPACK scores were obtained from instrument in the form of multiple-choice test questions. Furthermore, students’ perceptions of their learning environment were obtained using a Likert scale questionnaire. Two biology teachers were used as research samples determined by purposive sampling, which is referring to their TPACK score. Furthermore, students who became the research sample were students from those two teachers that consists of 64 students. The analysis results show that teachers have different TPACK ability at the level of TPACK forming components. Furthermore, there are differences in students' perceptions based on their teachers' TPACK ability. The results were indicated teacher professionalism, in this case, TPACK has the impact on learning environment. Therefore, teachers, schools, government, and education providers are expected to give special attention to teacher professionalism.

Genetics is a subject that is quite difficult according to students. Various strategies and methods are used to understand genetics in learning to have genetic literacy. One way of increasing genetic literacy in students is to apply genetic problems based on an online discussion in genetics lectures. The research was conducted to determine the effect of genetic problem-based online discussion on increasing students' genetic literacy. The research design used a pre-posttest control group design. It was carried out experimentally on three treatment groups: the genetic problem base of students, the genetic problem base of educators - students, and the genetic problem base of educators. According to the genetic literacy domain, genetic literacy is measured through multiple-choice tests, including genetic models, meiotic models, and molecular models. Manova analyzed the value of gene literacy, and a post-doc further test was performed to differentiate genetic literacy in the three treatment groups. The results showed that genetic literacy increased in all treatment groups, with the highest increase in the group that applied a genetic problem base focused on student problems.

Abstract: Teacher’s understanding of science is a prerequisite for teaching science. Due to the lack of science background during their studies, some primary school teachers have limited understanding of science. This study aims at identifying primary school teacher’s understanding of essential science concepts. Data were collected from 293 participants of workshops of professional certification program at university. Teacher’s understanding was measured using a multiple choice test whose answers are in the form of degree of certainty. The study finds that many teachers do not have good understanding of science. Misconceptions are also identified in a number of areas. Student textbooks, myths spread over in the communities, and narrow interpretation of religious teaching are some sources of teacher’s misconceptions. These findings suggest that future professional development program for primary school teachers should be designed in the areas of subject matters and subject matter pedagogy. Keywords: elementary school teachers, misconception, science, understanding
