Abstract

Macrobenthos are animals that live at the bottom of waters, both freshwater and seawater. This study aims to describe the diversity of macrobenthos as a bioindicator of water quality in Lake Poso and its use as a learning medium. This study uses a purposive random sampling method with a sampling technique using free collection with a roaming path method of ± 100 m per station. While the data analysis technique uses quantitative descriptive. The results of the study showed that the macrobenthos diversity index was obtained at station I (2.51) and then followed by station II (2.44) and station III (2.19). While the macrobenthos diversity index in Lake Poso is 2.26 and is categorized as a moderate level of diversity. The high macrobenthos diversity index at station I is because the macrobenthos habitat is still maintained and surrounded by forest vegetation so that the macrobenthos found are quite diverse. The development of research results as a learning media in the form of a pocket book, from the validation results including media validation, content validation, and design validation conducted by 3 expert lecturers and the feasibility test tested on 20 students obtained a percentage of 79.6% and is worthy of being used as a learning media.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to describe the abundance of gastropods in the marine waters of Bonebula Beach, Banawa Tengah Subdistrict, and to utilise the findings as a learning resource in the form of electronic pocket books. The research methodology employed is descriptive quantitative research, with the location determined through purposive sampling, resulting in the designation of three observation stations. Station 1 is situated within the seagrass ecosystem, Station 2 within the mangrove ecosystem, and Station 3 within the coral ecosystem. The sampling was conducted using a free collection method. The findings revealed the presence of 19 species of gastropods belonging to 13 families and six orders. The abundance of gastropods on Bonebula Beach is classified as moderate, representing 18.33% of the total population. The percentage of content experts, design experts and media experts is 85%, 85.33% and 84.29%, respectively, with an average feasibility rating of 84.87%. This indicates that the electronic pocket book medium is highly feasible for use.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examines the challenges faced by junior high school teachers in implementing science teaching standards, with a particular focus on issues related to instructional guidance, continuous assessment, and the provision of resources. It aims to identify gaps and offer strategies to enhance science education quality in Indonesian schools.Methodology: A mixed-method approach was employed, combining classroom observations, structured interviews, and questionnaires. Data were collected from 160 participants, including teachers and students from junior high schools in Mantikulore District, Central Sulawesi. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative insights were drawn from thematic coding of interviews and observations.Main Findings: The findings reveal that while teachers demonstrate competence in providing guidance and conducting assessments, significant challenges remain in creating conducive learning environments. These include insufficient access to modern teaching resources, limited training in continuous assessment methods, and overcrowded classrooms that hinder effective science instruction. Students reported that practical activities and hands-on experiments were often constrained by a lack of laboratory materials, impacting their engagement and understanding of scientific concepts.Novelty/Originality of this study: This research provides localized insights into the systemic and practical challenges faced by Indonesian schools in implementing science teaching standards. It uniquely highlights the interplay between resource availability, teacher development, and classroom practices. The study proposes innovative strategies for resource allocation, capacity building, and the integration of technology to address these gaps, contributing to evidence-based policy recommendations.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Rattan, a valuable resource for both industry and local food, is evaluated for its nutritional content in this study. The research explores its potential as a learning resource based on local wisdom in Sibado Village, Sirenja District, aiming to raise awareness and promote sustainable use within the community. Methodology: A quantitative descriptive research approach was used, involving proximate analysis to measure (Soxhlet method), protein (spectrophotometric method), water (thermogravimetric method), ash (dryashing method), and carbohydrates (proximate method) of rattan shoots. Data were collected from Sibado Village and analyzed in the Chemistry Laboratory of Tadulako University, Palu. An e-pocket book was developed as a learning resource. Main Findings: The results of the study obtained an average fat content of 0.332%, protein content of 2.110% and carbohydrate content of 6.082%. The results of the study were integrated as a learning resource in the form of a local wisdom-based pocket book that had been validated by content experts, design experts, media experts and students with an average value of 81.7%, meaning it is very suitable for use as a learning resource. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is the first to combine nutritional analysis of Daemonorops robusta with the development of a local wisdom-based educational tool, bridging scientific data and pedagogy to enhance biodiversity awareness, cultural relevance, and contextualized learning in formal education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Insect visitors to oil palm flowers, an important component in the pollination process and ecosystem services, are evaluated for their diversity in this study. The research explores their potential as a resource for environment-based learning rooted in local contexts within smallholder plantations, aiming to raise awareness and support sustainable education practices in the community. Methodology: Insects were collected using sweep nets, yellow pan traps, and direct observation. Identification was conducted using a Nikon SMZ445 stereo microscope and reference to entomological keys. Data analysis was carried out descriptively, focusing on species composition and abundance. An e-pocket book was developed as a learning resource. Main Findings: The results showed a total of 50 morphospecies of insect visitors on both male and female oil palm flowers. The number of insect species visiting male flowers was higher, consisting of 38 morphospecies belonging to 21 families and 10 orders. The results of the study were developed into a local wisdom-based pocket book focused on the diversity of insect visitors to oil palm flowers in smallholder plantations. The learning resource was validated by content experts, design experts, media experts, and students, with an average score of 81.7%, indicating it is highly suitable for use in environment-based education. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study highlights insect diversity in smallholder oil palm plantations, which is rarely documented. It also links ecological data with educational applications, providing a model for utilizing local biodiversity as a teaching resource in environmental and biology education.

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.
