Abstract

This study aims to determine the behavior of farmers in the use of pesticides on rice plants in Lingom Village, Indrapuri District, Aceh Besar Regency. The sample in this study was 15% of the predetermined population of 30 farmers in Lingom Village, Indrapuri District, Aceh Besar Regency who used pesticides on rice plants. Data were collected through observation, interviews and questionnaires. The results of data analysis show that farmers in Lingom Village, Indrapuri District, Aceh Besar Regency use pesticides in processing rice plants. The results showed that the behavior of farmers in the use of pesticides was in accordance with existing provisions. The pesticide used is obtained from the store, further mixed with water put in a spray tube. Pesticides that have been filled in tubes, then sprayed on rice plants. Spraying is carried out using personal protective equipment such as aprons, clothing and masks. Furthermore, farmers clean the equipment and clothes that have been used to make them clean and safe. Similarly, equipment and clothing that have been used are cleaned separately from other equipment and clothing. So as not to contaminate other family clothes during spraying, not to consume food and drinks when spraying so as not to be exposed to toxins contained in pesticides, so as not to experience injury.

Abstract

The low level of scientific literacy among Indonesian students, as reflected in the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), highlights the need for innovative learning strategies that connect biological concepts with real-life phenomena. One alternative is the development of a science literacy–based teaching module. This study aims to develop a teaching module on biodiversity for Grade X students at MAS Darul Ihsan Aceh Besar and to evaluate its feasibility in terms of validity, readability, and practicality. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model. The defining stage was carried out through observation and interviews to analyze learning needs. The design stage produced a draft module, which was then validated by subject matter experts, language experts, and media experts. The revised product was subsequently tested on a limited scale with students and teachers. The results showed that the module obtained an average score of 89% for content, 87% for language, and 90% for presentation and graphics, all categorized as “highly feasible.” The student readability test yielded an average score of 86% (highly feasible), while the teacher practicality test achieved an average score of 88% (highly practical). These findings indicate that the developed module is theoretically valid, practically applicable, and supports contextual learning aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. In conclusion, the science literacy–based teaching module on biodiversity is considered feasible as an alternative learning resource that can enhance students’ scientific literacy skills, critical thinking, and ecological awareness.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of accompanying teachers in improving students’ learning achievement on the topic of Growth and Development at SMP Negeri 6 Banda Aceh. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method. The subjects consisted of 32 students of Grade VII-8 in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through learning achievement tests (pre-test and post-test), observation of learning activities, and interviews with the accompanying and biology teachers. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and inferentially using the Normalized Gain (N-Gain) formula to determine the improvement in students’ learning outcomes. The results showed a significant improvement in student achievement, with the average pre-test score of 60 increasing to 88–90 on the post-test. The presence of an accompanying teacher played an important role in creating an active and structured learning atmosphere, supporting students who experienced learning difficulties. Collaboration between the accompanying teacher and the biology teacher in planning, implementing, and evaluating the learning process proved effective in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding, motivation, and learning outcomes on the topic of growth and development. Therefore, it can be concluded that accompanying teachers play a strategic role in improving students’ learning achievement through academic, motivational, and collaborative assistance in the classroom. The application of this mentoring model can serve as an effective alternative to enhance the quality of science learning at the junior high school level.
