Abstract

This study aims to determine the morphological and growth characteristics of Eisenia foetida in response to mushroom waste media. Two types of mushroom waste media were used: straw mushroom media waste and oyster mushroom baglog waste. The research design was experimental, using quantitative methods and descriptive statistical analysis. The study observed parameters such as body length, body weight, skin color, population, and biomass of Eisenia foetida. The results showed significant differences in the growth and morphological characteristics of Eisenia foetida among the various media treatments. The oyster mushroom waste media with higher composition (80%) yielded better growth in terms of body weight and biomass compared to the straw mushroom waste media. Specifically, the treatment with 80% oyster mushroom waste and 20% straw mushroom waste (P3) showed the highest average body weight (17.13 g).  In conclusion, mushroom media waste, especially oyster mushroom baglog waste, supports the optimal morphological development and growth of Eisenia foetida. These findings suggest that oyster mushroom waste can be effectively utilized as a medium for cultivating Eisenia foetida, providing an environmentally friendly solution to organic waste management. Recommendations for future research include exploring other types of organic waste as potential media for Eisenia foetida cultivation and conducting long-term studies to evaluate the sustainability of such media.

Abstract

Procedural knowledge is an essential component of 21st-century science learning because it enables students to select, apply, and evaluate strategies for solving scientific problems. Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is widely recognized as a student-centered model for developing problem-solving, collaboration, and higher-order thinking skills; however, its implementation still requires stronger support for students’ learning regulation, motivation, and contextual scientific inquiry. This study examined the content validity, expert-based construct coherence, and reliability of a Hybrid Project-Based Learning (Hybrid-PjBL) model integrating local wisdom, scientific curiosity, and metacognitive awareness to support prospective science teachers’ procedural knowledge. This study represents the validation stage of a development research project. The developed model and its supporting tools, including semester learning plans (RPS), learning scenarios, modules, student worksheets (LKPD), and assessment instruments, were validated through a focus group discussion involving seven validators: four experts and three practitioners. Data were collected using validation sheets and analyzed descriptively using validity coefficients and reliability estimates. The results showed that the Hybrid-PjBL model was valid and reliable (rα = 0.76; α = 0.86). The supporting tools were also categorized as valid and reliable, including RPS (rα = 0.85; α = 0.92), learning scenarios (rα = 0.81; α = 0.89), modules (rα = 0.78; α = 0.88), LKPD (rα = 0.95; α = 0.97), and assessment instruments (rα = 0.88; α = 0.93). These findings indicate that the developed model and tools are appropriate for further practicality and effectiveness testing in real classroom settings

Abstract

The integration of Sasak local wisdom into science education, particularly in biology, physics, and chemistry, offers a contextual and meaningful learning experience for students. This study explores the potential of Sasak cultural practices such as Belaq Tangkel, Poteng Rekat, Bau Nyale, and Nyesek to enrich science education. These traditions are linked to scientific concepts, including human reproduction, biodiversity, material physics, and chemical bonding. The research adopts a literature review approach to identify and map the educational potential of Sasak traditions, focusing on their relevance to scientific learning. For instance, Belaq Tangkel introduces students to embryonic development, while Kalender Rowot Sasak supports teaching astronomy. The integration of these practices promotes sustainability values, analytical skills, and cultural appreciation among students. Challenges such as limited resources and teacher training highlight the need for collaboration between educators, local communities, and researchers. This approach not only fosters cultural preservation but also enhances students’ scientific understanding, providing a holistic and sustainable educational framework. The findings underline the importance of ethnoscience in bridging traditional knowledge and modern science to create an inclusive and culturally responsive education system.
