Abstract

Local wisdom refers to the knowledge, values, and cultural heritage of a community that is passed down through generations and needs to be preserved. One way to achieve this is by integrating local wisdom into education, allowing students to recognize and appreciate the richness of their local culture. The purpose of this study is to explore local wisdom in the fields of environmental biology, food and health, reproduction, and application in Pariaman City. These four areas serve as a contextual approach that connects Biology material with students’ daily lives. This study employed a descriptive method with a qualitative phenomenological approach. The subjects consisted of 10 informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that local wisdom in Pariaman City encompasses the four identified fields, each of which can support contextualized Biology learning. In conclusion, integrating these aspects of local wisdom into education not only enriches Biology instruction but also fosters cultural awareness among students. Future research is recommended to examine effective strategies for implementing local.

Abstract

This research aims to develop PBI-based student worksheet to improve science literacy and critical thinking of high school grade X students. The research method uses the Plomp Research and Development (R&D) model which consists of initial investigation, design, and evaluation stages. Formative evaluation refers to the Tessmer model, including self-evaluation, expert review, one-to-one, small group, and field test. The instruments used included validation sheets, response questionnaires, and science literacy ability tests. The subjects of the study were 29 students divided into experimental and control classes. The validation results showed that student worksheet was very valid (average score of 87.5%), practical (student and teacher response ≥85%), and effective in improving science literacy. The increase in science literacy gain score was 0.48 (experimental class) and 0.36 (control). The t-test showed significant differences between groups (p < 0.05). Thus, PBI-based student worksheet is suitable for use as a learning medium to improve students' 21st century skills.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate an Ethnoscience-integrated interactive flipbook-based e-module on environmental pollution to improve junior high school students’ environmental literacy. The research employed a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model, encompassing analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects were seventh-grade students of a public junior high school in Padang, Indonesia. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, practicality questionnaires, and environmental literacy tests. The results showed that the e-module achieved a very high validity level (0.87). Practicality testing indicated that teachers rated the e-module as very practical (88%), while students rated it as practical (79%). The lower student score was influenced by minor technical constraints, such as device limitations and internet access during implementation. Effectiveness testing was conducted using the Mann–Whitney U test, as normality and homogeneity assumptions were not fully met. The results revealed a significant difference in environmental literacy between the experimental and control groups (p < .001), with a higher mean rank in the experimental group. The improvement was further supported by a moderate effect size (d = 0.35). These findings indicate that the Ethnoscience-integrated interactive flipbook-based e-module is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing students’ environmental literacy and is suitable for contextual science learning aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum.
