Abstract

Digital literacy is essential in biology learning as students increasingly use digital sources to access scientific information. However, many students still struggle to evaluate online information, while digital platforms often emphasize content delivery rather than digital literacy development. This study examined the effectiveness of a Google Sites-based digital module integrated with RICOSRE in improving students’ digital literacy. This study employed a quasi-experimental method by comparing two intact groups through pretest and posttest procedures. The participants involved 70 students: 34 in the experimental group and 36 in the control group. Data were collected through a test instrument that had been validated and developed with reference to Greenstein’s framework, covering information finding, use of multiple sources, information selection, information evaluation, source and message consideration, and production of original work. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA, N-gain, and effect size. The analysis revealed a significant difference in digital literacy scores, with the experimental group outperforming the control group after controlling for pretest scores, F = 128.008, p < 0.001, partial η² = 0.656. The N-gain score was also higher in the experimental group, 0.57 versus 0.28. These findings indicate that the module effectively strengthens students’ digital literacy in biology learning.

Abstract

Cattleya maxima is a valuable ornamental orchid with limited seed availability, making in vitro culture important for mass propagation. This study aimed to optimize protocorm quality through modification of ½ MS supplemented with Plant Growth Regulators (NAA + BAP) and glutamine under blue (455–480 nm) and white light irradiation. Media were evaluated: ½ MS, ½ MS + PGRs, ½ MS + glutamine, and ½ MS + PGRs + glutamine. Total nitrogen was measured using the Kjeldahl method and analyzed using two-way ANOVA, while chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoids were analyzed using MANOVA. Culture medium significantly affected total nitrogen and photosynthetic pigments. The highest total nitrogen was recorded in ½ MS + glutamine, likely reflecting nitrogen accumulation from glutamine rather than active assimilation. Chlorophyll a and b were highest in ½ MS and ½ MS + PGRs, with no significant difference, while total chlorophyll and carotenoids were highest in ½ MS + PGRs. Glutamine supplemented reduced pigment accumulation, growth, and protocorm quality, producing pale green to translucent white protocorms. In contrast, media without glutamine produced greener protocorms with better growth. Spectrum effects were evaluated descriptively, white light tended to support growth, while blue light enhanced green coloration.
