Abstract

Microscope skills are fundamental in biology education as they connect theoretical concepts with direct observation of cells and tissues. However, many students still struggle to operate microscopes properly, resulting in suboptimal practical sessions. This activity aimed to enhance students’ understanding and practical skills through structured microscope training. The training was conducted on May 18, 2025, at SMA Negeri 8 Ternate, involving 42 eleventh-grade students (20 males and 22 females) and three biology teachers. The program included theoretical explanation, demonstration, and hands-on practice using the cyanoacrylate-based leaf epidermis replica technique. Training effectiveness was evaluated through pre-test and post-test scores, practical skill rubrics, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The training significantly improved students’ learning outcomes. The average knowledge score increased by 24.5% (from 59.8 to 84.3), while practical skills reached an average of 81.5% (“good” category). Participant satisfaction averaged 88%, with the highest ratings on clarity of instruction (3.6) and opportunity for discussion (3.7). Attendance (92%) and engagement in practice (91%) reflected high enthusiasm and active participation. These findings indicate that structured, hands-on training supported by repeated practice and interactive facilitation effectively enhances both conceptual and procedural competencies in microscopy. The model also promotes collaboration and strengthens students’ scientific skills. Microscope training at SMA Negeri 8 Ternate proved effective in improving students’ knowledge, skills, and motivation. This training model is recommended for broader application to strengthen biology practicum competencies and can be adapted for other school laboratory topics.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems are coastal ecosystems strongly influenced by salinity, which affects plant adaptation. Pangandaran Regency has mangrove areas with different salinity conditions that may influence the morphological and anatomical characteristics of Sonneratia alba Sm. This study aimed to analyze leaf area and thickness, stomatal characteristics, trichomes, chlorophyll content, and salt accumulation in Sonneratia alba leaves from Bulaksetra and Bojongsalawe. A qualitative and  quantitative approach was used through leaf morphological and anatomical analysis, as well as measurements of chlorophyll content and salt concentration. The results showed that leaf area and thickness did not differ significantly between locations. Stomatal density was significantly lower under high salinity (28.841 cells/mm²) compared to low salinity (40.765 cells/mm²) (p = 0.024), and chlorophyll content was also lower under high salinity (32.167 CCI) compared to low salinity (47.333 CCI) (p = 0.011). Unicellular non-glandular trichomes were found on the adaxial leaf surface of Sonneratia alba, helping reduce water loss and light exposure. Salt accumulation was higher under high salinity as an adaptive mechanism to maintain osmotic balance and reduce toxicity. Sonneratia alba shows ecophysiological plasticity in response to salinity through physiological and anatomical adjustments, especially in stomata and chlorophyll content. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive mechanisms Sonneratia alba for mangrove conservation and rehabilitation in coastal areas.
