Abstract

This study aims to identify and describe the diversity of medicinal plants utilized by the community of Tindaki Village, South Parigi District, and to document their scientific names, morphological characteristics, plant parts used, and methods of preparation. The research employed a descriptive design with a qualitative approach using exploratory techniques. Data were collected through direct field observations conducted in six hamlets, structured interviews with ten informants consisting of five key informants and five supporting informants, and field documentation. Species identification was carried out through detailed observations of morphological characteristics, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The identification results were subsequently verified using relevant scientific literature to ensure taxonomic accuracy. The findings revealed a total of 34 medicinal plant species belonging to 23 families and 18 orders. The plant parts most commonly utilized by the community were leaves and rhizomes, followed by fruits, roots, stems, and sap. These plants are traditionally used to treat various health conditions, including fever, cough, diarrhea, diabetes, hypertension, kidney stones, digestive disorders, and skin diseases. In conclusion, the results indicate that Tindaki Village possesses a high diversity of medicinal plants that continue to be actively utilized by the local community. Therefore, sustained conservation and systematic documentation efforts are essential to preserve this valuable ethnobotanical knowledge for future generations.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify and document the medicinal plant species utilized by the community in Bou Village, Sojol District, Donggala Regency, including their methods of preparation, the plant parts used, and the types of diseases treated. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design using the snowball sampling method. Data were collected through field observations, unstructured interviews with six informants who possessed traditional knowledge of medicinal plants, and direct documentation. The data were analyzed descriptively using a qualitative approach by describing the medicinal plant species identified, including their local names, scientific names, families, parts used, therapeutic uses, and methods of preparation. The results showed that 24 medicinal plant species belonging to 18 families were used to treat various ailments, most commonly fever, digestive disorders, urinary tract infections, coughs, and others. Leaves were the plant part most frequently used, while boiling was the most common method of preparation. This study highlights the importance of preserving local communities’ traditional knowledge regarding the use of medicinal plants as a form of local wisdom that has been passed down from generation to generation and should be sustainably maintained.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of nutrition education on students’ breakfast habits and learning outcomes at SMA Negeri 1 Sausu, while also highlighting its role in promoting healthier breakfast behaviors among students. The study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 23 tenth-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires to assess students’ breakfast habits before and after the intervention, as well as documentation of students’ learning outcomes. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis through mean scores, score improvement, and N-gain values. The results showed that the mean breakfast habit score increased from 40.09 in the pretest to 48.43 in the posttest, with an N-gain of 0.14, which was categorized as low. In addition, the mean learning outcome score increased from 77.30 before the intervention to 80.17 after the intervention, with an N-gain of 0.13, also categorized as low. These findings indicate that nutrition education contributed positively to improvements in students’ breakfast habits and learning outcomes, although the level of effectiveness remained low. Therefore, nutrition education has the potential to serve as a promotive and preventive strategy for fostering healthy breakfast behaviors and supporting academic improvement, provided that it is implemented continuously and supported by both the family and the school environment.

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.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of moringa leaf flour addition at concentrations of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% on the sensory quality of crackers and to identify the most acceptable formulation based on consumer preference. The study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Organoleptic evaluation was conducted with 30 untrained panelists using a 5-point hedonic scale to assess color, aroma, taste, and texture. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey’s HSD test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that moringa leaf flour addition had a significant effect on all organoleptic attributes (p < 0.05). The formulation containing 10% moringa leaf flour showed the most balanced sensory profile, with mean hedonic scores of 3.60 for aroma, 3.47 for texture, 3.10 for taste, and 3.03 for color. These scores ranged from neutral to approaching like, indicating that the 10% formulation was relatively the most acceptable formulation compared with the other treatments.
