Abstract

Human anatomy learning in biology education often faces challenges, including difficulties with 3D spatial visualization, high cognitive load, and persistent misconceptions in topics such as the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems, which contribute to low conceptual understanding. Although previous studies have identified these learning difficulties, limited research has examined the relationship between students’ conceptual understanding and cognitive processes in anatomy learning, particularly in Biology Education programs in Indonesia. This preliminary study aims to analyze the conceptual understanding and cognitive processes of Biology Education students at Universitas Negeri Medan using an exploratory mixed-methods approach involving 60 students from semesters 4–6. Data were collected through a two-tier diagnostic test (reliability = 0.85), think-aloud protocols based on the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using SPSS 26. The findings show that most students were in the moderate and low categories of conceptual understanding, with cognitive processes dominated by lower- to mid-level skills (remembering 22%, understanding 30%) and limited higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Misconceptions were found, including viewing enzyme function only as a metabolic process. Observations and interviews also revealed students’ dependence on rote memorization and passive learning. These findings highlight the need for adaptive, AI-based, and visually interactive anatomy learning to foster deeper understanding and support curriculum innovation in biology education.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the correlation between medicinal plant knowledge and students’ conservation attitudes after using the North Sumatra Medicinal Plant Ethnoscience e-Catalog. The e-Catalog is accessed through Google Sites and contains information on the local and scientific names, morphology, benefits, habitat, and conservation values of medicinal plants in North Sumatra integrated with ethnoscience. This research is a quantitative correlational study. The research subjects numbered 33 science education students. Data were collected using a medicinal plant knowledge test and a conservation attitude questionnaire. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and Spearman’s rho correlation. The results showed that the students’ average medicinal plant knowledge was 70.52 and the average conservation attitude was 40.24. Spearman’s correlation test produced a correlation coefficient of ρ = 0.687 with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.01), indicating a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between medicinal plant knowledge and students’ conservation attitudes. The coefficient of determination value of 47.2% shows that medicinal plant knowledge provides a fairly large contribution to students’ conservation attitudes. The results of this study indicate that the North Sumatra Medicinal Plant Ethnoscience e-Catalog has the potential to become an effective digital learning medium in supporting the strengthening of students’ conservation attitudes through ethnoscience integration.

Abstract

A variety of plants are found in the Medan State University (Unimed) campus area which is in the border area of Medan city, precisely in Deli Serdang Regency with an area of ± 495,000 m2. Flowering plants (Angiosperms) are one of the groups of plants that make up the vegetation on the Unimed campus with various types, characteristics (habitus) and various benefits. These flowering plants not only have aesthetic and ecological value but can also be a learning resources. However, there is no data yet on what types of flowering plants (Angiosperms) are found in the campus area. An inventory carried out in the Unimed campus area obtained 80 species of flowering plants belonging to 71 genera and 33 families. The diversity of flowering plants is dominated by the Arecaceae family with 7 species from the monocot group and 13 species from the Fabaceae family which are included in the Dicot group. The various forms of appearance (habitus) of these flowering plants are herbs, bushes, shrubs and trees and their various uses include ornamental plants, shade plants, fruit-bearing plants and medicinal plants.
