Abstract

The background of this research is based on the global ecological crisis that demands a reform of biology education that is not only oriented towards mastery of concepts, but also on the formation of environmental conservation awareness and behavior. This research is motivated by the low conservation awareness of students in high schools which has an impact on the declining quality of the local environment. The purpose of this study is to describe the effectiveness of a socio-ecological-based ethnobiology approach in fostering environmental conservation awareness of students in biology learning. The research method used a quantitative descriptive design with 36 students as subjects. The instruments used included pre-test questions, participatory observation-based process assessment, post-test questions, and an environmental conservation awareness questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and N-Gain scores. The findings showed an average pre-test score of 75.22 (SD=3.47) increasing to a post-test score of 76.00 (SD=3.66). The average process score of 59.97 reflects varied active involvement of the 36 students, 18 (50%) completed the conservation awareness questionnaire with an average score of 79.78, which is categorized as "Good." A total of 83.3% of students achieved the "Good" to "Very Good" category in the post-test. The implications of the socio-ecological-based ethnobiology approach have proven effective in integrating local wisdom with modern biological concepts, thus having the potential to be widely implemented as an innovative strategy for environmental education in Indonesia.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and test the effectiveness of a Realistic Mathematics learning model based on Mandailing culture with a Deep - Learning approach in improving the logical thinking skills of high school students. This approach aims to build a deep and meaningful understanding of concepts through the integration of local cultural contexts that are close to students' lives. The methodology used is the development research method with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The analysis stage involves literature studies and field observations to identify students' needs and relevant Mandailing cultural potential. The design and development stage produces learning tools in the form of lesson plans, student worksheets, and learning media that have been validated by material experts and cultural experts. Implementation was carried out through a quasi-experiment in two classes (experimental and control) with a logical thinking test instrument as the main measuring tool. Evaluation was carried out formatively and summatively to determine the effectiveness of learning. The results showed that students who participated in Realistic Mathematics learning based on Mandailing culture with a Deep Learning approach experienced a significant increase in logical thinking skills compared to the control group. In addition, students showed enthusiasm and active involvement because the learning was linked to the culture they were familiar with. The conclusion of this study is that mathematics learning that integrates local culture with an immersive learning approach is effective in improving students' logical thinking skills. This model also strengthens cultural identity while developing higher-order thinking skills. Recommendations are directed to teachers, curriculum developers, and educational policymakers to consider a contextual learning approach based on local culture as a strategy to improve the quality of learning processes and outcomes, particularly in developing students' logical and cognitive thinking skills.
