Abstract

This analysis investigates how students in basic education comprehend biological concepts, examining cognitive processes and pedagogical factors shaping science literacy development. Drawing on contemporary research, this study analyzes mechanisms through which elementary and junior secondary students construct understanding of fundamental biological principles including cellular processes, heredity, ecosystems, and human physiology. The analysis reveals that students' comprehension operates through complex interactions between prior knowledge, developmental readiness, and instructional experiences. Research demonstrates that learners frequently maintain persistent misconceptions regarding biological phenomena, rooted in intuitive reasoning and everyday observations conflicting with scientific explanations. These alternative conceptions prove resistant to traditional instruction, necessitating conceptual change pedagogies explicitly addressing cognitive conflicts. The study identifies inquiry-based learning, hands-on experimentation, and culturally responsive instruction as particularly effective for facilitating robust understanding. Furthermore, authentic science literacy encompasses not merely factual knowledge but critical thinking competencies and abilities to apply biological concepts in analyzing real-world issues. Challenges emerge in linguistically diverse contexts where students navigate science instruction in second languages while reconciling scientific concepts with indigenous knowledge systems. This analysis concludes that enhancing biological concept comprehension requires pedagogical innovations systematically addressing misconceptions, leveraging experiential knowledge, integrating culturally relevant contexts, and cultivating higher-order cognitive capabilities essential for scientifically literate citizenship.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of organizational learning design on teacher performance and job satisfaction in secondary schools, focusing on well-being, innovation, and commitment as mediating factors. Using a quantitative survey method, data were collected from 367 S1-certified teachers in Jambi City, Indonesia. The survey included 54 items adapted from established scales related to organizational learning, teacher satisfaction, commitment, innovation, performance, and well-being. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that organizational learning design significantly influences teacher commitment and well-being, both of which positively affect job satisfaction and performance. However, the effect of innovation on performance was non-significant, suggesting a need for more targeted strategies to integrate innovation into teaching practices. These results emphasize the importance of a supportive organizational learning environment to enhance teacher engagement and effectiveness. Recommendations are offered for educational policymakers to bolster teacher well-being and commitment through organizational learning initiatives.

Abstract

Prospective biology teachers need to be well prepared, not only in terms of biology content but also their teaching skills, including lesson study. This study aims to developing a biology lesson study book based on scientific approach. The research method used is research and development by adopting the ADDIE model. The research instrument used was a questionnaire to measure the responses of experts, teachers and students to the quality of the book. This research also pays attention to qualitative (suggestions and comments) and quantitative data. The results showed that the book was considered feasible by experts. Teacher and student responses also showed a positive impact on the use of the book. The test results also showed an increase in learning outcomes. So, the book can be used in classroom learning.
