Abstract

Given the current state of digital technology, educators must be proficient in digital literacy in order to facilitate creative and efficient teaching methods. The purpose of this study is to characterize biology teachers' levels of digital literacy and examine how they relate to innovative teaching practices in Banda Aceh secondary schools. The study included biology teachers from a number of secondary schools that were specifically chosen, and it used a qualitative approach and case study methodology. In-depth interviews, observations, and documentation were used to gather data. According to the findings, the majority of teachers had a moderate degree of digital literacy. While the use of interactive digital learning platforms remained relatively low, technology use was still restricted to online communication and the creation of presentation media. Teachers faced a number of challenges, such as inadequate governmental support, a lack of ongoing training, and limited facilities. All things considered, it can be said that biology instructors' degree of digital literacy has a big impact on the variety and caliber of instructional innovation used in the classroom. As a result, it is advised that educational officials and schools strengthen their support by integrating ICT into curriculum plans, offering technological infrastructure, and providing training in digital literacy. It is anticipated that these initiatives will encourage more imaginative, participatory, and contextual learning.

Abstract

The intertidal zone of Iboih Beach in Sukakarya District, Sabang, has significant macroalgae diversity with different substrate variations. This study examined the diversity, distribution, and ecological significance of macroalgae using the quadrat method with purposive sampling technique on three plots measuring 2 2 m (coral, sand, and rock substrates), each replicated three times. Measurements of environmental parameters including temperature (using a thermometer), salinity (refractometer), and depth (Secchi disk) were carried out prior to sampling to ensure that environmental conditions were recorded. The results showed Galaxaura rugosa as the dominant species (INP 63.22), followed by Halimeda opuntia (38.42) and Chaetomorpha crassa (35.27), which showed a preference for hard substrates rich in nutrients. In contrast, Caulerpa sp. had the lowest INP (9.33), indicating specific habitat adaptation. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H=1.57) was in the moderate category, with an average INP of 28.575 reflecting a diverse community occupying different ecological niches. The coral substrate supported the highest abundance due to its stability and nutrient availability. This finding confirms the crucial role of substrate characteristics in the structure of intertidal macroalgal communities.Keywords:DiversityMacroalgaeIntertidal zoneSubstrateIboih Beach

Abstract

This study aims to identify the secondary metabolite content and active compounds in plant extracts through phytochemical screening and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Phytochemical tests revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and terpenoids, which are known for their biological activities including antioxidant and anticholesterol properties. GC-MS analysis identified 21 compounds, with dominant constituents including Phytol, 8-(2,3-Dihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one, and Murrayatin. Among these, Phytol was identified as the primary candidate for anticholesterol activity, supported by literature indicating its role in inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis. These findings suggest that the extract has potential as a natural anticholesterol agent, although further pharmacological studies are needed to confirm its specific bioactivity.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the anatomical variations of leaves from five local medicinal plant species and evaluate their potential use as microscopy-based learning media rooted in local wisdom. Microscopic observations were conducted on the leaves of Piper betle, Cymbopogon citratus, Curcuma longa, Aloe vera, and Ocimum sanctum using fresh-section preparations and quantitative measurements of anatomical parameters, including epidermal thickness, mesophyll thickness, stomatal density, trichome characteristics, stomatal type, palisade–spongy ratio, xylem diameter, and vein density. The results revealed clear interspecific anatomical differences, such as variations in palisade structure, presence of secretory ducts, mucilaginous cells, and glandular trichomes that provide strong visual contrast for microscopic learning. These characteristics support the feasibility of using local plant species as accessible, contextually relevant, and effective learning media to enhance students’ understanding of plant anatomy concepts. The study concludes that local medicinal plants possess strong potential to be developed as authentic microscopy learning resources. Further research is recommended to expand the number of species examined, incorporate supporting physiological analyses, and develop ready-to-use instructional modules for educators.

Abstract

Soil contamination caused by the accumulation of heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial waste has become a critical environmental problem that affects human health, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem stability. Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly approach that utilizes plants to improve soil quality through the absorption, stabilization, degradation, or volatilization of pollutants. This article explores the potential of commonly found plant species in the surrounding environment as phytoremediation agents, including their working mechanisms, key species, and ecological implications. A literature review (2015–2024) reveals that Vetiveria zizanioides, Phragmites australis, Cyperus rotundus, Helianthus annuus, and Ageratum conyzoides demonstrate significant capability in reducing concentrations of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu, as well as pesticide residues in contaminated soils. These findings highlight the promising role of phytoremediation in supporting sustainable land rehabilitation, especially in regions where access to advanced remediation technology is limited.

Abstract

Smoking behavior among adolescents is a health problem that may cause long-term impacts on both active and passive smokers. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ understanding and awareness of the dangers of cigarette smoke through an educational approach combined with a simple demonstration. The activity was conducted at SMP Negeri 14 Banda Aceh involving seventh and eighth grade students. The methods included interactive lectures on harmful chemical substances in cigarettes and their effects on the respiratory system, as well as a lung model demonstration to visualize the process of smoke inhalation and the accumulation of hazardous residues. The results showed that students’ knowledge of the dangers of smoking increased, they were able to identify harmful chemical components in cigarettes, and they demonstrated more critical attitudes toward smoking behavior and exposure to secondhand smoke. The visual demonstration helped students understand the concepts more concretely and fostered early preventive awareness. It can be concluded that this activity was effective as an experience-based health education model to support the development of a young generation who are aware of the importance of living free from cigarette smoke.
