Abstract

Modern science education faces a persistent challenge: the disconnect between theoretical critical thinking development and hands-on practical competencies. This study investigated the relationships among critical thinking skills, practical performance, and summative achievement in ninth-grade biotechnology education within Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum framework, which emphasizes conceptual understanding, scientific process skills, and 21st-century competencies. The research objective was to examine whether and how critical thinking abilities and practical performance independently or jointly predict summative academic achievement in biotechnology. Using a correlational design, data were collected from 113 ninth-grade students across four intact classes at a public junior high school in Bandung, West Java. Three validated assessment instruments measured the target variables: a critical thinking skills test based on Ennis indicators assessing analytical reasoning abilities, a performance rubric evaluating hands-on laboratory proficiency during practical sessions, and a standardized summative biotechnology examination measuring overall content mastery. Descriptive statistics revealed varied performance across assessment types, with mean scores of 59.7 for critical thinking skills, 86.6 for practical performance, and 70.4 for summative achievement. Pearson correlation analyses conducted in SPSS indicated a moderate positive relationship between critical thinking and summative scores, a weak positive association between practical performance and summative achievement, but critically, no significant correlation between critical thinking and practical performance. These findings suggest that while analytical reasoning contributes to theoretical academic success, procedural competencies operate largely independently from cognitive reasoning abilities in biotechnology contexts. The study suggests that science educators should implement integrated teaching methods deliberately bridging practical skills development with explicit critical thinking instruction to foster holistic scientific literacy.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the progress of ethnoscience research published on Google Scholar between 1966 and 2023, utilizing a computational bibliometric analysis approach with the assistance of the Publish or Perish and VOSviewer applications. Parameters including title, publication type, keywords, Citation, and year range were utilized to select the relevant data obtained from the Publish or Perish applications, resulting in a compilation of 252 articles related to the chosen theme, each spanning a period of 10 years, starting from theory, society, culture, and education, up to chemistry and physic subjects, supported by highly cited journal findings. The trending topics in the field of education are approaches and learning media. Based on the gathered data, it is evident that there are still numerous opportunities for further research in the field of Ethnoscience. The utilization of the VOSviewer application can aid in identifying problematic areas that can be explored as potential research innovation topics within the field of ethnoscience. Future research should explore the integration of ethnoscience with sustainability, digital learning, and global challenges while addressing gaps in knowledge and underrepresented contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate food security in the perspective of junior high school students in urban area in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The research is a cross-sectional study using survey method to explore students"™ perception. The study involved 191 junior high school students from grade 7, 8, and 9. The sample was chosen by convenience sampling. The research used 4 open ended questions which are delivered by utilizing google forms. However, students were supervised while completing the survey. Therefore, the researcher could minimize interfering variable which might affect students"™ answer. The result found that most student link food security to sufficient and availability aspect. Furthermore, nutrition, accessibility, safe, and healthy aspect of the food appear in smaller frequency. However, there is no students mention the aspect of affordability, beliefs, sustainability, utilization, and stability of food. There is a need to enhance students"™ awareness in the sustainability aspect of food security since Indonesia performs very weak in ensuring the sustainability and adaptation aspect. It is found that in the perspective of 57% the students, Indonesia has a good food security while about 43 % think otherwise. Students already have a hint of factors that can negatively impact food security Indonesia as well as supporting factor.
