Abstract

This study aims to develop an innovative instructional medium designed in the form of a visual metaphor-based learning media, specifically for the topic of cells in the science subject (IPA) at the junior high school level Class VIII in SMP Negeri 1 Plumbon. The topic of cell structure and function is often perceived as abstract and difficult for students to understand due to its microscopic nature and the spatial imagination it requires. This study employs a descriptive quantitative method by collecting and analyzing data in the form of student and teacher responses to the use of the media. The primary instrument used was a questionnaire designed to assess student and teacher perceptions regarding the effectiveness, appeal, ease of use, and usefulness of the media in supporting the learning process. The questionnaire was distributed after the classroom implementation of the visual metaphor-based learning media. The analysis results showed that the average student response score reached 89.25%, which falls into the "very positive" category. This indicates that the majority of students felt aided in understanding difficult concepts through metaphorical visualization, which was able to simplify complex biological information. In addition, teacher responses also indicated enthusiasm and support for the use of this media, as it was considered capable of increasing student engagement, deepening conceptual understanding, and encouraging reflective thinking. Therefore, the application of visual metaphor-based media holds great potential to support a more humanistic, contextual, and meaningful transformation of the learning process.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to produce teaching modules that are effective in strengthening the student profile of Pancasila through an active learning approach. The research method used is R&D (Research and Development) with the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Data were collected through learning style questionnaires and experiments in experimental and control classes. The questionnaire was used to measure the mutual cooperation dimension, while the test was used for students' critical thinking. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively using descriptive statistics to describe the learning outcomes of students before and after the application of teaching modules. Hypothesis testing was conducted using the Wilcoxon test to determine significant differences between the experimental and control groups. The results show that the application of teaching modules based on the Merdeka Curriculum can increase students' interest in learning and critical thinking skills in the experimental class compared to the control class. The experimental group's posttest score was significantly higher than the control group. The development of teaching modules based on the characteristics of students has proven to be valid and effective in achieving learning objectives. This can be seen from the increase in affective (mutual cooperation & critical thinking dimensions) and cognitive (formative assessment results) values.

Abstract

White oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is an edible mushroom widely cultivated due to its nutritional and economic value. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different substrate compositions of sawdust, corn cobs, and rice husks on the growth and yield of white oyster mushrooms. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications, resulting in 20 experimental units. Growth parameters observed included stipe length, pileus diameter, fruiting body mass, and the number of fruiting bodies. The results showed that substrate composition significantly affected mushroom growth and productivity. The K2 treatment, consisting of 30% sawdust, 40% corn cobs, and 30% rice husks, produced the best performance in all observed parameters. The higher proportion of corn cobs in the substrate likely provided favorable conditions for mushroom development and yield. In conclusion, a substrate composed of 30% sawdust, 40% corn cobs, and 30% rice husks is recommended for the cultivation of white oyster mushrooms because it promotes optimal growth and productivity.

Abstract

Scientific literacy and collaborative learning remain major challenges in biology education, particularly in ecosystem topics that often lack of meaningful contextualization. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a web-based biology e-module integrated with a WhatsApp chatbot and the Surili (Presbytis comata) biodiversity context to improve students’ scientific literacy and collaboration skills. The study employed a research and development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model combined with a quasi-experimental design. A total of 67 tenth-grade students from MAN 3 Cirebon participated, involving an experimental class (N = 32) and a control class (N = 35). Product feasibility was assessed through expert validation, while effectiveness was evaluated using scientific literacy tests, collaboration observations, and student response questionnaires. The e-module achieved a very feasible category with an average expert validation score of 95%. The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher scientific literacy (ANCOVA, p < 0.001), with a higher N-Gain (0.705) than the control group (0.396). Collaboration skills also improved significantly (Mann–Whitney, p < 0.001). Students reported highly positive responses (85.05%). These findings suggest that integrating a WhatsApp chatbot, web-based e-module, and local biodiversity context effectively enhances scientific literacy and collaboration in biology education.

Abstract

This study applies the principles of metaphors and metonymies in visual learning media to manage students’ cognitive load and enhance their comprehension of complex scientific concepts, specifically cell biology, in lower secondary education. Using the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) model, a 2D animated audio-visual learning media was developed and evaluated. The research explored the impact of the developed learning media on intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive loads using questionnaires and pre-/post-tests with 303 participants (science teachers and lower secondary students) from five districts in West Java, Indonesia. Expert evaluations from linguistics, media, and science education specialists were also incorporated. The results indicate that the developed visual media is effective in facilitating information processing and meaning-making, leading to improved comprehension and retention of complex cell biology concepts. The use of metaphors and metonymies helped students connect abstract scientific concepts to familiar contexts, reducing extraneous cognitive load and promoting deeper understanding and concept retention. Overall, the findings suggest that visual media employing metaphors and metonymies can be a valuable tool for teaching highly abstract and complex scientific concepts.

Abstract

This training program aimed to enhance the competence of 70 science teachers in Cirebon Regency to implement deep learning approaches emphasizing higher-order thinking skills and contextual learning. Conducted over 3 months using training and mentoring methods with an evaluative approach using a pretest-posttest design. Results showed 92.9% retention rate with average scores increasing from 82.71 to 85.82 (+3.11 points). Significant transformation occurred: 100% elimination of low-medium category participants and increase in very high category from 47.1% to 80%. Program evaluation achieved 4.76/5.0 rating, with material relevance, concept understanding, and facilitator quality receiving highest scores. This program effectively transforms the paradigm of deep learning, which is often technology-oriented, into a more contextual and easily implementable learning approach that aligns with the Merdeka Curriculum and SDGs Goal 4. Post-training mentoring is needed to enhance teachers' confidence in independent implementation.
