Abstract

This study aims to examine the significant impact of utilizing the school environment as a learning resource on students’ interest in learning Biology among seventh-grade students at SMPN 10 Sigi. The research applied a quasi-experimental design involving 55 students, divided into an experimental class and a control class. Data collection techniques included observation of students’ learning interest, interviews with the science teacher, and a post-test to assess academic understanding. Instruments used in this study comprised observation sheets, structured interview guides, and post-test items. Both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed a substantial difference between the two groups. The experimental class, which engaged in outdoor and environment-based learning activities, achieved an average interest score of 92.5% (categorized as Very Good), while the control class, which received conventional classroom instruction, scored 76.2% (categorized as Good). Students in the experimental group showed increased enthusiasm, curiosity, and active participation, particularly during explorative activities related to biodiversity around the school grounds. These results confirm that integrating the school environment into the learning process not only enhances student engagement but also fosters a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. The study concludes that effective use of the school environment can significantly increase students’ interest and motivation in learning science, especially in rural or under-resourced educational settings.

Abstract

Butterflies (Lepidoptera) are one of the insect groups that play an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance, particularly as pollinators of various flowering plants and as indicators of environmental conditions. This study aimed to identify and describe butterfly species (order: Lepidoptera) found in the forest area of Namo Village, Kulawi District, Sigi Regency. The research employed a descriptive method with an exploratory (survey) technique. Sampling was conducted at three different observation stations. Field data were collected over three days, with two sampling periods per day, from 07:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 17:00 local time (WITA). Samples were collected using insect nets and subsequently identified based on morphological characteristics. The results of the study revealed 27 butterfly species belonging to four major families. These families are Nymphalidae (17 species), Papilionidae (6 species), Pieridae (3 species), and Lycaenidae (1 species). The diversity analysis indicated that the family Nymphalidae had the highest number of species. Environmental factors, such as the abundance of host plants in the genus Lantana and host plants of the genus Mangivera, as well as abiotic conditions including an average temperature of 27°C, humidity of 70.33%, and light intensity of 786 cd, were strongly suspected to support the high variation in butterfly species.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the impact of online game addiction on students’ academic behavior in Biology learning at SMA Negeri 5 Palu. A descriptive qualitative method was employed. The research subjects consisted of four Grade X Merdeka 2 students, selected purposively, and a Biology teacher. Data were collected through interviews and documentation. This study addresses a gap in previous literature by examining students’ subjective experiences regarding the effects of online game addiction on academic behavior in Biology classes at SMA Negeri 5 Palu. The findings indicate that online game addiction affects three aspects of students’ academic behavior: decreased classroom participation, lack of discipline in submitting assignments, and potential disruption of academic achievement. Among these aspects, students’ lack of discipline in completing assignments emerged as the most prominent and evident impact. This was supported by the consistency of interview responses from all informants, the normalization of rule violations, and confirmation from the Biology teacher that, without reminders, assignment submission could be delayed for up to one week. It can be concluded that interventions aimed at improving students’ discipline, time management, and daily limits on online gaming are needed through collaboration among schools, teachers, and parents.

Abstract

This research investigated the impact of the project-based learning (PjBL) model on the social-emotional skills. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was utilized. The study population included all grade eight students at SMP Negeri 4 Palu during the 2025/2026 academic year. Cluster random sampling was used to select the sample, resulting in two groups: Class VIII-A (experimental group, n=27), where the PjBL model was applied, and Class VIII-B (control group, n=30), which received traditional instruction. Social-emotional skills were measured using a questionnaire that assessed the five key CASEL competencies and demonstrated high reliability (α = 0.87). Data analysis involved the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, Levene’s test for homogeneity, and the Mann-Whitney U test for hypothesis testing, as the data did not meet normality and homogeneity assumptions. The findings revealed a Mann-Whitney p-value of 1.000 (p > 0.05), leading to the acceptance of the null hypothesis. Therefore, it was concluded that the PjBl model did not significantly affect students’ social-emotional skills.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera leaf flour is recognized as a local food ingredient rich in essential minerals, particularly magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K), which play important roles in various physiological functions of the human body. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf flour supplementation on the magnesium and potassium contents of crackers. The research employed an experimental approach using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments: 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% Moringa oleifera leaf flour supplementation, with two replications for each treatment. Magnesium and potassium contents were quantitatively determined using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method. The data were analyzed using One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that increasing concentrations of Moringa oleifera leaf flour tended to increase the magnesium and potassium contents of the crackers, with magnesium levels ranging from 0.06 to 0.09 mg/g and potassium levels ranging from 0.79 to 1.93 mg/g. However, statistical analysis revealed that the addition of Moringa oleifera leaf flour did not significantly affect magnesium content (p = 0.377), whereas it had a significant effect on potassium content (p = 0.001). These findings indicate that magnesium and potassium responded differently to the fortification process. Therefore, Moringa oleifera leaf flour demonstrates considerable potential as a fortification ingredient, particularly for enhancing potassium content in crackers as a nutritious snack alternative.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' learning outcomes in Biology for Grade X students of SMK Manbaul Hikmah through the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation sheets of teacher and student activities as well as learning outcome tests administered at the end of each cycle. The results indicate that the application of the PBL model significantly improved students' learning outcomes. In Cycle I, classical learning mastery reached 85%, while in Cycle II it increased to 92%. The 7% improvement in classical mastery demonstrates that the PBL model is effective in encouraging students to think critically, collaborate, and solve problems related to contextual learning materials. In addition, students' activity and engagement during the learning process showed continuous improvement in each cycle. Therefore, the Problem Based Learning model can be considered an effective alternative for improving Biology learning outcomes of Grade X students at SMK Manbaul Hikmah.
