Abstract

The benefits obtained if someone think critically is to make students active and effective in life, they can also develop understanding, evaluate different insights, develop problem solving skills so that later students have the ability to analyze further. The purpose of this analysis is to describe the critical thinking abilities of students in Sleman Regency. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method using an essay with 5 questions referring to indicators of critical thinking. Apart from that, the population in this analysis is all state high schools in Sleman Regency with a purposive random sampling technique of 9 schools, totaling 258 students. The results of the research show that students' critical thinking abilities are in the low category, so it is hoped that innovation will be needed in the form of developing methods, media, strategies and learning models that support students' 21st century abilities, especially in the aspect of critical thinking abilities.

Abstract

The aim of this study are determine the feasibility of developing an e-module in problem-based learning (PBL) with the flipped classroom learning method on biotechnology material to increase students' learning independence and understanding of concepts; determine the practicality of developing e-modules in problem-based learning (PBL) using the flipped classroom learning method for biotechnology material to increase students' learning independence and understanding of concepts; determine the effectiveness of e-module development in problem-based learning (PBL) using the flipped classroom learning method for biotechnology material to increase students' learning independence and understanding of concepts. The results of this research indicate that the e-module in problem-based learning (PBL) with the flipped classroom learning method is stated: very suitable for use based on the assessment of material experts with a value of 3.8 conversion 95 with a very feasible category and the assessment of media experts with a value 4.00 100 conversions with very decent category; very practical to use based on the results of the Biology Teacher's assessment with a score of 4.00 conversion 100 in the very feasible category and student assessment with a score of 3.87 conversion 97 in the very practical category; is effectively used to increase learning independence and conceptual understanding of phase F students based on the MANOVA test p < 0.05. The development of an e-module in problem-based learning (PBL) using the flipped classroom learning method on biotechnology material is feasible, practical and effective to use.

Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a disease caused by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Red algae (Kappaphycus alvarezii) contain bioactive compounds derived from secondary metabolites with antibacterial properties. This study investigates the potential of Kappaphycus alvarezii methanol extract to inhibit the growth of Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 using the microdilution broth method, determining Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values ranging from a concentration of 500 µg/mL to 1.9531 µg/mL. To elucidate the inhibition mechanism, nucleic acid, protein, and Ca2+ ion leakage assay were performed via spectrophotometry at MIC 1, MIC 2, and MIC 3 concentrations. Morphological changes in the bacterial cell membrane were further examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) at MIC 2. The results demonstrated that, the methanol extract of K. alvarezii exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis bacteria with an MIC value of 1.9531 µg/mL, but showed no inhibitory effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The extract inducted membrane leakage, as indicated by a higher leakage value compared to negative controls and commercial antibiotics. In addition, the methanol extract of K. alvarezii caused alterations in bacterial cells. These findings highlight the potential of Kappaphycus alvarezii methanol extract as a promising antibacterial agent.
