Abstract

Teachers play a pivotal role in designing innovative biology learning strategies that cultivate students' creative thinking, a core 21st century skill. This ability is essential for generating novel ideas, solving complex problems, and making interdisciplinary connections. By integrating real world scenarios and inquiry based approaches, teachers can further enhance students’ engagement and creative capacity. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review to identify and analyze the pedagogical strategies employed by teachers to foster students' creative thinking skills in the context of biology learning. Employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) methods, a comprehensive literature search was executed using the Google scholar and Scopus database, with a publication scope from 2016 to 2025. The keywords used were ("Teacher Strategy") AND ("Creative thinking" OR "Creativity") AND ("Biology Learning" OR "Biology Education"). From an initial identification of 371 articles, 25 met the predefined inclusion criteria and were subsequently subjected to an in-depth content analysis. The review's findings indicate that a range of effective strategies were implemented by teachers, including Problem Based learning (PBL), Project Based Learning (PjBL), flipped classroom, blended-learning, the RQA model, Reading-concept mapping (Recamp) integrated with Group Investigation (GI), Creative Responsibility Based Learning (CRBL), and approaches grounded in ethnoscience and the Habits of Minds (HoM) profile. The most frequently utilized instructional media were mind maps, 3D learning media (3Ds Max), and inquiry based worksheets. This review recommends that pedagogical competence among biology teachers be enhanced through ongoing professional development and the integration of creative strategies into the curriculum. This will empower them to design innovative learning models that effectively foster students' creative thinking skills, addressing the demands of 21st century education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the stress coping strategies of two Indonesian female adolescents (MA and NA, aged 20) from divorced families and with a history of repeated suicide attempts. The study used a qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to understand the psychological dynamics and coping mechanisms used by the subjects in dealing with emotional stress. The results showed that both participants experienced complex trauma since their parents' divorce in childhood, which was exacerbated by dysfunctional family conditions such as domestic violence, infidelity, parental discrimination, and minimal social support. Initially, both subjects used maladaptive, emotion-based coping strategies such as escape-avoidance, social isolation, and self-harm. Over time, their coping patterns developed differently: MA shifted to religious coping through worship activities and spiritual reflection, which increased resilience and self-acceptance, while NA relied more on limited social support and conflict avoidance, but still showed emotional vulnerability. The contribution of this study lies in enriching the study of the coping dynamics of divorced adolescents with a history of suicide attempts in the Indonesian socio-cultural context. Practically, these findings imply the importance of comprehensive psychological interventions through coping skills training, family counseling. Keywords: coping strategies, suicide attempts, adolescents, parental divorce, qualitative case study, religious coping, dysfunctional family

Abstract

Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy which is greatly influenced by light intensity and leaf pigment content. This study analyzed the effect of three light intensities (dark, shade, and bright) on the photosynthesis rate of Caladium plants using the Floating Leaf Disk Assay (FLDA) method. This method measures the photosynthesis rate based on the leaf disk floatation time as an indicator of oxygen formation from the water photolysis process. The study was conducted at the Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Lambung Mangkurat University, using a quasi-experimental design with 3 repetitions. The results showed that bright conditions provided the fastest floatation time, which was an average of 3.8 minutes with bubble production of 18-22 bubbles/minute. Shade conditions showed a moderate response with a floatation time of 8.6 minutes and 7-10 bubbles/minute. In dark conditions, neither floatation nor oxygen production occurred. Caladiums with full green leaves exhibited higher photosynthetic rates (3.5-4.0 minutes) than variegated ones (5.2-6.1 minutes), reflecting differences in chlorophyll content. These findings confirm that the combination of light intensity and leaf pigment content is a major factor in determining photosynthetic efficiency. The research findings are expected to provide a basis for optimal lighting management in ornamental plant cultivation and serve as contextual teaching materials in biology learning.
