Abstract

This research aims to describe the types of ornamental plants in the yard of the Ujumbou Village community and produce learning media that are suitable for use. This type of research is descriptive qualitative using exploration method with free sampling technique. The results of the study obtained 76 types of ornamental plants from 37 families and 56 genus found in Ujumbou Village. Assessment of learning media in the form of pocket books conducted by each expert lecturer obtained a score of 82.85% material experts, 97.5% design experts, 69.23% media experts, and 92.25% student trials. The average percentage obtained was 85.45%. These results indicate that the pocket book that has been made is very feasible to use as learning media.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the learning difficulties of 8th-grade students in Science (Biology) at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. This type of research is descriptive. The subjects in this research were all students of classes VIII A and VIII B, consisting of 46 students. The data collection technique used was a questionnaire on factors influencing students' learning difficulties. The results of the study showed that the average internal difficulty factor for the "agree" response was 27%, while "disagree" was 73%. For the external difficulty factor, the "agree" response was 31%, while "disagree" was 69%. These results indicate that students' learning difficulties are classified as high in both internal and external factors. Therefore, it can be concluded that both external and internal factors significantly contribute to the high level of learning difficulties in the Science subject at SMP Negeri 19 Palu.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to describe the abundance of gastropods in the marine waters of Bonebula Beach, Banawa Tengah Subdistrict, and to utilise the findings as a learning resource in the form of electronic pocket books. The research methodology employed is descriptive quantitative research, with the location determined through purposive sampling, resulting in the designation of three observation stations. Station 1 is situated within the seagrass ecosystem, Station 2 within the mangrove ecosystem, and Station 3 within the coral ecosystem. The sampling was conducted using a free collection method. The findings revealed the presence of 19 species of gastropods belonging to 13 families and six orders. The abundance of gastropods on Bonebula Beach is classified as moderate, representing 18.33% of the total population. The percentage of content experts, design experts and media experts is 85%, 85.33% and 84.29%, respectively, with an average feasibility rating of 84.87%. This indicates that the electronic pocket book medium is highly feasible for use.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the significant impact of utilizing the school environment as a learning resource on students’ interest in learning Biology among seventh-grade students at SMPN 10 Sigi. The research applied a quasi-experimental design involving 55 students, divided into an experimental class and a control class. Data collection techniques included observation of students’ learning interest, interviews with the science teacher, and a post-test to assess academic understanding. Instruments used in this study comprised observation sheets, structured interview guides, and post-test items. Both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed a substantial difference between the two groups. The experimental class, which engaged in outdoor and environment-based learning activities, achieved an average interest score of 92.5% (categorized as Very Good), while the control class, which received conventional classroom instruction, scored 76.2% (categorized as Good). Students in the experimental group showed increased enthusiasm, curiosity, and active participation, particularly during explorative activities related to biodiversity around the school grounds. These results confirm that integrating the school environment into the learning process not only enhances student engagement but also fosters a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. The study concludes that effective use of the school environment can significantly increase students’ interest and motivation in learning science, especially in rural or under-resourced educational settings.

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to enhance students’ learning motivation through the implementation of the Snowball Throwing learning model. The study was conducted at SMAN 1 Palu with 35 students of class XI MIPA 6 as the research subjects. The CAR was carried out in three phases: pre-action, Cycle I, and Cycle II. Data were collected through observation and a learning motivation questionnaire. The findings revealed that students’ learning motivation in the pre-action phase was categorized as “fair” with a percentage of 54%. After the implementation of the Snowball Throwing model in Cycle I, students’ motivation increased to 72% (“high” category), and in Cycle II it further improved to 87% (“very high” category). These results indicate that the Snowball Throwing model is effective in improving students’ learning motivation, as it actively engages them in discussion and collaborative activities, making the learning process more interactive and enjoyable. The implication of this study is that teachers may employ the Snowball Throwing model as an alternative instructional strategy in Biology learning to foster students’ learning motivation.
