Abstract

This review explored how ethno-STEM learning modules help students understand reaction rates in chemical kinetics. These modules combine science with culture to make lessons more engaging and easier to relate to. We looked at how the modules were designed and used, how they supported learning, and how they mixed cultural content with science. We also compared different strategies—like inquiry learning and technology use—and identified common teaching problems.We focused on studies from secondary schools, vocational programs, and universities published up to mid-2024. These studies used different methods, such as interviews, surveys, and classroom experiments. We found that culture-based modules made chemistry more relevant and kept students motivated. Inquiry learning and technology also helped students understand reaction rates better. However, many of these strategies still need better ways to measure success and reach more students. Some students struggled with graphs and formulas, but active learning and visual tools helped improve their understanding. Teachers and students liked the modules because they connected chemistry to real life and local knowledge. Still, how engagement is measured varies between studies. In general, this review shows that ethno-STEM has strong potential to improve chemistry lessons by linking science and culture. But future research should be more consistent and explore how to use these methods in different types of classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the ability of XII grade high school students in solving C4 level chemistry problems based on three indicators (Differentiating, Organizing, and Attributing) using Rasch modeling. This research is a quantitative study with a non-experimental research design (survey). The results showed that the level of analyzing students with an overall percentage reached 44.3%. Analysis based on indicators, Differentiating ability reached 47.06% (sufficient category), Organizing was at 44.88% (sufficient category), and Attributing also reached 40.56% (sufficient category). The ability to analyze students in SMAN A had an average value of 0.94, SMAN B had an average value of 0.11, SMAN C had an average value of -0.09, SMAN D had an average value of -0.62 SMAN E had an average value of -0.96, SMAN F had an average value of -0.25, SMAN G had an average value of 0.18, SMAN H had an average value of -0.62, while SMAN I had an average value of -0.73.
Analisis Kadar Antioksidan Pada Hasil Infusa Jahe Merah (Zingiber Officinale Var. Rubrum), Kombinasi Kunyit (Curcuma Longa) dan Sereh (Cymbopogon citratus) Sabunge, Annisa; Isa, Ishak; Hasan, Hamsidar; Papeo, Dizky Ramadani Putri; Ramadani, Fika Nuzul

Abstract

Jahe merah, kunyit, dan sereh merupakan tanaman rempah yang dikenal memiliki kandungan metabolit sekunder seperti flavonoid, fenolik, dan terpenoid yang berperan penting dalam aktivitas antioksidan. Dalam penelitian ini, dilakukan pengujian aktivitas antioksidan pada kombinasi infusa jahe merah–kunyit dan jahe merah–sereh untuk mengetahui potensi keduanya sebagai sumber antioksidan alami. Proses ekstraksi dilakukan dengan metode infusa pada suhu 90°C selama 15 menit, kemudian dilakukan analisis kualitatif melalui uji skrining fitokimia dan kromatografi lapis tipis (KLT), serta analisis kuantitatif menggunakan metode ABTS pada panjang gelombang 734 nm dengan spektrofotometri UV-Vis dan vitamin C sebagai pembanding. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kedua kombinasi infusa positif mengandung flavonoid, fenolik, dan terpenoid yang berperan sebagai senyawa antioksidan. Nilai IC₅₀ infusa jahe merah–kunyit sebesar 35,83 µg/mL dan jahe merah–sereh sebesar 51,68 µg/mL. kombinasi jahe merah-kunyit termasuk kategori aktivitas antioksidan sangat kuat (IC₅₀ 50 µg/mL) dan jahe merah-sereh termasuk kategori kuat (IC₅₀ 100 µg/mL). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi infusa jahe merah–kunyit dan jahe merah–sereh memiliki potensi besar sebagai sumber antioksidan alami yang dapat dikembangkan dalam sediaan herbal farmasi.Kata kunci: Antioksidan, Infusa, Jahe merah (Zingiber Officinale Var.

Abstract

The integration of empathy values into science education has gained increasing scholarly attention as part of character education and holistic learning paradigms. In multicultural contexts such as Indonesia, local wisdom offers culturally grounded moral frameworks that can strengthen students' socio-emotional competencies, particularly empathy, within science learning. This study aims to synthesize and map global and national research trends on empathy-based local wisdom in science education through a hybrid review approach, combining a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis. A systematic search was conducted across Scopus-indexed journals and SINTA-accredited Indonesian journals published between 2019 and 2025. Following PRISMA guidelines, 21 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed qualitatively to identify conceptual frameworks, instructional models, learning outcomes, and assessment strategies related to empathy development in science education. The results indicate that embedding local wisdom—such as indigenous environmental ethics, communal values, and cultural narratives—into inquiry-based and project-based science learning significantly enhances students' empathy, environmental awareness, and ethical reasoning. However, empirical studies measuring empathy using validated psychometric instruments remain limited, particularly in experimental and longitudinal designs. Furthermore, international publications predominantly emphasize socio-scientific issues, while Indonesian studies focus more on contextual cultural integration. The findings suggest that future research should strengthen interdisciplinary designs, develop standardized empathy assessment tools, and expand cross-cultural comparative studies to advance globally relevant yet locally rooted science education practices.
